Eight years ago， 1﹣week﹣old Diandian was left behind． When people found her in the reeds （芦苇） of a lake， she looked too weak to survive． Now she is the mother of three milu， thanks to the workers' attention and care at the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve．
Li is the president of a milu conservation association in Yueyang and head of a local milu and bird rescue center， where 11 deer， including Diandian， have their families． Li and his workmates need to work extra hours to take care of the animals from March until mid﹣May． He remembers March 18 this year． He fed Diandian some fresh shoots and leaves for breakfast as usual， and moments later when he returned，a newborn milu was right beside her． Since it is her third baby and born in the third month of the year，people named it Sansan， referring to "three﹣three"． Li has developed a deep affection for milu and made up his mind to protect them． "As our country is paying more attention to environmental and wildlife protection， people are increasingly aware that milu are state﹣protected animalsm，" Li said．
Milu habitats （栖息地） are usually centered around water， and fishing equipment that used to be a threat to the animals is no longer seen in nature reserves． On May 27， a team of experts went to watch milu near Dongting Lake． It takes time and luck to meet one and count them especially when they live in the thick reeds that are 4 to 5 meters tall． The team leader Song， saw a milu for the first time when he was studying for his doctorate in zoology early in 2009． Since then， he has helped protect the habitats at Dongting Lake． As the flood season is coming， Song and his workmates will go around the lake area day and night to save deer in trouble， and provide feed for the animals when needed．
As the environment improves in and around Dongting Lake， China's second﹣largest freshwater lake， the wetland has become cover once again for wildlife． "We will continue to protect these rare animals and their living environment，" Song said．

Herman planted the hot peppers （胡椒） in his five﹣hectare field in his town． The 36﹣year﹣old man put up a sign reading "Africa Hema Village" in Chinese， English and his native language． His first harvest will start this month． Herman studied in China from 2011 to 2018， receiving his master's degree and a doctorate in environmental science． He returned to Rwanda in 2018 with his wife， Yang Hong， who is from China， and started his own business． Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market． Hot peppers were one of his discoveries． The couple helped Hou's team， from research to field trips， testing production processes （加工） and so on． They also helped Hema Xiansheng's purchasing （采购） manager， Chen Huifang， when she led a team of eight to visit Rwanda to research the possibilities of making hot pepper products that suit Chinese preferences．
"We wore rubber gloves when we touched them． Our fingers still felt hot the next day，" Chen said． Their research and development team spent four days studying and cooking the peppers． Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved difficult， so the fresh peppers can't be imported （进口） into China． Then Chen's team decided to perform basic processing in Rwanda before shipping． Processing requires a careful balance． Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious． Too little， and the peppers may go bad． Because plastics mustn't be used in Rwanda， they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce． The material they first used couldn't stand the long flights． Now Chen is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema's offline and online stores．
Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is small． A small amount is sold to Europe． And local need is limited due to its spiciness． So， about half the harvest is wasted every year． A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan （＄1.4）a day by working in the cities， but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema's orders， they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day． Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming， rather than working for lower incomes， when e﹣commerce （电子商务） can bring greater needs and sales．
"It's a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives，" Herman said， "Through building more Hema Villages， Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture．"

（3）If a young man in Rwanda grows hot peppers for Hema， he may get about ．
A． 10 dollars a week
B． 1，600 yuan a month
C． 500 dollars a year
D． 16，000 yuan half a year

Do you like Physics or Chemistry？ Matter （物质） is always changing， either physically or chemically． If a material goes through a physical change， it is still the same material． During a chemical change， one kind of matter changes into another completely different kind of matter． For example， when we burn wood or cook fish， materials change． People use chemistry every day in the kitchen． The food we eat has many different natural chemicals． Many of the chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet．
Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form． The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical． If a change does not affect the food's chemical composition， we call it a physical change． For example， melted （溶解的） cheese has gone through a physical change． It gets softer when it is heated but it is still the same type of material． Any change that changes the chemicals in the food is a chemical change． Bread contains carbohydrates， which are chemicals made up of carbon， hydrogen， and oxygen． When bread is baked （烘焙）， the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water． The carbon gives the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture （质地）． The water goes into the air．
To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking， let's watch how a carrot cake is made． The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients （材料） and baking them together． In the course of making cakes， the dry ingredients are mixed first． They are flour， sugar， salt， baking soda， baking powder and spices． Flour gives the cake structure． Sugar helps to make it sweet． Salt strengthens the cake batter． Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise．
Next， the carrots may be added to the cake． These help give the carrot cake its flavor， texture， and color． The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs． The oil makes the cake tender and moist． Eggs serve two purposes﹣the whites help the cake to rise， while the yolks （蛋黄） give it a creamy texture． All of these ingredients form a mixture． This mixture can be separated into its different components （成分） although it is very difficult． Once the cake mixture is formed， it's poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven． The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place． The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot be separated．

A． melt ice cream
B． burn paper
C． bake apple pies
D． cook beef
（2）What's the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage？
a． Carrots， oil and eggs are added．

h． The mixture is poured into a pan
A． b﹣a﹣h﹣f﹣g
B． b﹣h﹣c﹣d﹣f
C． e﹣d﹣c﹣a﹣g
D． e﹣c﹣a﹣g﹣d
（3）After reading the passage， we know that ．
A． water and carbon can give the cake a dark color and a crunchy texture
B． people can separate the mixture of eggs and oil into different components
C． chemicals in different kinds of food that people eat are bad for their health
D． sugar and salt can't be put into the mixture to make a cake at the same time
（4）The passage mainly helps us to ．
A． look at the steps of baking cakes closely
B． learn how to make carrot cakes at home
C． have a healthy diet with natural chemicals
D． understand physical and chemical changes
Resting her phone on a stand and making the light more suitable， 49﹣year﹣old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session﹣her daily job during the COVID﹣19 outbreak．Dressed in a qipao， a traditional Chinese dress， Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning， sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft （手工艺） lovers． Lyu， an inheritor （继承人） of the art of making Chinese knots， which is listed as an intangible （非物质） cultural heritage， became a livestreaming host．
