Do you have cold feet in winter? But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots, you won’t
be troubled by that.
UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers
(剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep,
wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”. Good old Australian slang
shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s
in Australia.
UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to
the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. UGG
boots felt more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.
Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our
factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.
We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of
UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of
summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. UGG
boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the
sheepskin.

It was a rainy day and I was walking down the street feeling comfortable and happy. I
wanted to do something kind for someone else without any reason and purpose, almost as if I
was just trying to spread the abundance (充足) of love I was receiving. It was then that I saw
a teenage girl dressed in tattered clothes, getting soaked(湿透). She wasn't wearing any shoes
or socks. The rain wet her skin through the holes in her clothes and she was making her way
through the garbage, trying to find something that would be of use to her.
I walked towards her and told her to wait for me there while I ran home to get her
something. On getting home, I took off my shoes, which I really loved, wrapped them up in a
plastic cover and ran to give them to the teenage girl on the street.
The girl looked surprised as if she was not used to this kind of kindness. She thanked me
in a trembling (颤抖的) voice.
A famous musician who lives down the street corner stopped his car and smiled when he
saw what happened. The two watchmen who saw me do this talked and gave me friendly
looks.
Although I had to wear my dad's shoes, I was satisfied even if they were a bit large for
my feet, because I knew the girl would walk comfortably wearing the shoes. That day I
learned that letting go off the little things we own can be a big help to others.

Scientists in Michigan have developed a forest fire alarm system. It can not only monitor
when a fire begins but also call for help. This battery-free device hangs in a tree and gains all
the energy it needs from the natural swinging of branches. Such a sensor (传感器) could
watch the woods for a decade without humans’ attention.
“For forest fire monitoring, you don’t need high amounts of energy,” says Cao
Changyong, an engineer at Michigan State University, who led the team behind the new
device. It recharges itself about every 10 minutes with just enough power to take a
measurement. That’s plenty of time, Cao says, “to produce enough energy.”
There’s an obvious need for fast monitoring of faraway forests. Every year, fires burn
millions of acres in the United States. Early findings also can save lives. Right now, forest
fires are found from satellites or fire towers. Neither, Cao says, is as fast or low-cost as tree-
hanging sensors would be.
Cao’s group faced some challenges in creating its new sensors. For example, these have
to produce enough power to check the forest and send out a signal and that power source has
