Shanghairesidents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in Octobermight have astonished at an
unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and
relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.
In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the
five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down,
imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.
TheLagenaPrimary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, while previously
relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a
number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.
Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new
location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The
project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used inShanghaito relocate a historical
building.

and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of
destruction across the country.

number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the repaired
Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record

Kids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project,
which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food
waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good
nutrition.
The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The
students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.
“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”
Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat
involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar
activities inCape Townschools.
“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world
today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”
The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than
just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar.
In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking
water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every
child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.

When a fire broke out in my home in the middle of the night, I knew I'd do anything I could to save my family.
The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis causes me to wake up inthe middle of the night with a dry
mouth. January 15, 2016, was no different. I, Indiana, US, awoke at 2:30am needing water.
I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my bulldog , Rock. Whatever Rock was doing down
there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running
up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, "We've got to go back
up. "When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn't remember leaving one on. I
walked downstairs again, and that's when I saw fire. I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our
three kids. I grabbed a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof. I then pried open
the window and kicked out the screen. I started screaming for help. But help never came. I got everybody out on
the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn't slip off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started screaming
for help. But help never came.
Now, I'm scared of heights and have physical issues, what with my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn't let my
family burn up. So I jumped off the roof. I didn't scoot to the edge; I just jumped and got the wind knocked out of
me when I landed. I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I wrapped my
arms around my daughter and carried my nine - month - old with my teeth, by his little sleeper. Then I climbed
down the ladder. Once on the ground, I had my little girl hold her brother, and I went back up to the roof to get my
other daughter. Then I went back up again and got my wife. I tried to get my dog, but he just disappeared in the
black smoke. I never saw him alive again,
I'm no hero. I'm just an ordinary person who'd help anybody. This happened to be the time when I helped my
own family. I live to protect my family. Just likeRock—he lived to protect us.
