News Discovery Time! Today we will explore three exciting stories from around the world.
Story 1: AI Company Opens Its “Brain” for Everyone
Imagine if you could look inside a super-smart computer brain and see how it thinks. That’s exactly what Anthropic, a big American AI company, just did!
On January 22nd, Anthropic announced something amazing. They released their core technology - called “Claude” - for free. This means students, researchers, and curious minds everywhere can now study how this powerful AI works.
Why is this important? Think about it this way. When you learn to code, you might use free tools online. Now, AI researchers can do the same thing with Claude. Thousands of people are already using this open technology to build new apps, study AI safety, and learn how smart machines think.
Data Insight: Over 50,000 developers downloaded Claude’s code in the first 24 hours!
Story 2: Beloved Pandas Return Home to China
Two very famous bears are coming home! “Xiaoxiao” and “Leilei” have been living in Tokyo, Japan for several years. These giant pandas captured the hearts of millions of Japanese children.
But now, the pandas are returning to their homeland - China. On January 27th, they will board a special plane back to Sichuan province. Pandas have a very special diet. They eat only bamboo. In fact, one adult panda eats about 40 pounds of bamboo every day!
Immersive Moment: Close your eyes and imagine… You are standing in a bamboo forest in China. The air is fresh and cool. Suddenly, you see a black and white ball of fur rolling down a hill. It’s a panda! It stops, looks at you with its round, curious eyes, then continues munching on bamboo leaves.
Scientists say pandas will help with conservation efforts in China. Baby pandas born in Japan will also return someday. These furry ambassadors have helped China and Japan become better friends.
Story 3: A Vampire Movie Makes History
Get ready for a shocker - a vampire movie just broke a major record! “Sinners” has received 16 Oscar nominations. That’s more than any single film has ever gotten before.
The Academy Awards are like the “Oscars” for movies. Getting nominated is a huge honor. Getting 16 nominations? That’s almost unheard of!
The movie tells a scary and mysterious story about vampires. But here’s what’s really interesting - the director and actors worked together for five years to make this film perfect. They filmed in old, spooky buildings to make everything look real.
Reflection Question: Why do you think people love vampire stories? Is it the mystery? The adventure? Or something else?

新闻探索时间！今天我们要探索三个来自世界各地的精彩故事。
故事一：AI公司向所有人开放"大脑"
想象一下，如果你能看进超级聪明的电脑大脑里面，看看它是怎么思考的。这正是美国AI公司Anthropic刚刚做的事情！
1月22日，Anthropic宣布了一个惊人的消息。他们把核心技术——叫做"Claude"——免费开放了。这意味着全世界的学生、研究人员和好奇的人现在都可以研究这个强大的AI是怎么工作的。
为什么这很重要呢？这样想吧。当你学编程的时候，你可能会用免费的在线工具。现在，AI研究人员也可以用Claude做同样的事情了。成千上万的人已经在用这个开放的技术来开发新程序、研究AI安全、学习智能机器是如何思考的。
数据小知识： 在最初的24小时内，超过5万名开发者下载了Claude的代码！
故事二：深受喜爱的大熊猫回到中国
两只非常有名的大熊要回家啦！“晓晓"和"蕾蕾"在日本东京住了好几年。这两只大熊猫俘获了无数日本小朋友的心。
但是现在，大熊猫们要回到它们的家乡——中国了。1月27日，它们将乘坐专机回到四川省。大熊猫有很特别的饮食习惯，它们只吃竹子。实际上，一只成年大熊猫每天要吃掉大约40斤竹子！
沉浸式想象： 闭上眼睛，想象一下……你站在中国的一片竹林里。空气清新凉爽。突然，你看见一团黑白相间的毛球从山坡上滚下来。那是一只大熊猫！它停下来，用又圆又好奇的眼睛看着你，然后继续嚼起了竹叶。
科学家们说，大熊猫将帮助中国的保护工作。在日本出生的熊猫宝宝将来也会回来。这些毛茸茸的友好使者帮助中国和日本成为了更好的朋友。
故事三：吸血鬼电影创造历史
准备好惊讶——一部吸血鬼电影刚刚打破了一项重要纪录！《Sinners》获得了16项奥斯卡提名。这是单部电影有史以来获得最多提名的一次！
奥斯卡奖就像是电影的"奥运会”。获得提名是一项巨大的荣誉。获得16项提名？简直闻所未闻！
这部电影讲述了一个关于吸血鬼的恐怖神秘故事。但这里有个很有趣的地方——导演和演员们一起工作了五年才让这部电影变得完美。他们在古老、神秘的建筑里拍摄，让一切都看起来很真实。
思考时间： 你觉得为什么人们喜欢吸血鬼故事呢？是因为神秘感？冒险精神？还是其他什么原因呢？
