A ship named the Sewol(岁月号) turned over and sank off an island in South Korea on April 16. It was carrying 476 passengers, including 325 high school students. By May 19, at least 287 people have died and 17 people were still missing. The accident has shocked South Korea. People are also angry with the crew (船员), especially the captain. The crew told the passengers to stay on the ship, but they themselves were some of the first people to get off.
It sank within two hours after sending a distress signal(遇险求救信号). Pictures from the scene showed rescue teams balanced on the sinking hull pulling teenagers from windows. Some of their classmates jumped into the sea as the ship went down. It is not yet clear what caused the accident, but some people described hearing an impact(碰撞) and quickly sank, but the captain seemed not to act quickly to evacuate(疏散)passengers to avoid this disaster.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye has expressed sadness over the accident, saying it was truly tragic that students on a field trip were involved in such an unfortunate accident.
When did the accident happen?
How many students were there on the ship?
Did the ship send a distress signal before it sank?
The captain evacuated passengers quickly when the accident happened, didn’t he?

Do you know what school life is like in Singapore? In Singapore, a class only lasts half an hour, but there are no rests between classes. The students only have a 30-minute tea break after 3 or 4 classes.
They do not do eye exercises. Yao Suyu, a Singaporean student said our eye exercise were new to her. “I’d like to introduce them to our school,” she said. “They’re very useful.”
In Singapore school ends at 1:30p.m. But students join other clubs after school, such as dancing clubs and singing clubs. Yao said she joined the dancing club twice a week and it lasted from 1: 50 to 5:30 p.m.
Its population includes Chinese, Indians, Malays and Westerners. But there is no school for any one of the groups. The students in Yao’s school are Chinese, Indians and Malays. “The Indian students take Indian language classes when we study Chinese,” said Yao, “but if an Indian student is interested in Chinese, he or she can study it, too.”
In Singaporean schools, teachers teach in English. It’s the official（官方的）language in Singapore. Singaporean students have to take different courses after school. Like most Singaporean students, Yao takes other courses in Chinese，such as math and English.判断正误（T，F）：A class lasts an hour in Singaporean schools.

Many animals hide to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colors or shapes help protect them. It’s hard to see an Arctic bear in snow. Its white fur helps protect it. Chameleons(变色龙) can hide by changing colors. Their skin turns the same color as what is around them. Some chameleons can change colors in five minutes.
Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary. Some animals will run away from them.
Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay close together so that they can help each other look out of danger. Seeing many stripes at once can also confuse animals that want to eat them. Some birds stay in a circle, each toward a different direction.

Dear Amy
How are you? Mum, Dad and I went to Thailand last week. We had a great time!
We arrived at the airport early on Friday morning. I chose a window seat on the plane. I could see the clouds clearly from the window. They looked soft and shiny. Four hours later, we landed in Thailand. We stayed at a hotel in Pattaya on our first day. We went to the beach. We played different water sports there. We had so much fun! We were tired when we got back to the hotel.
On the next day, we went to Bangkok. We visited two temples there. They looked like golden bells with pointed tops. We took some photos outside the temples and had a walk in the gardens. In the evening, we had dinner at a restaurant next to a lake. The food was very spicy so I kept drinking cold water!
On the last day, we hung out at a shopping mall. Mum bought a beautiful tea set. Dad bought some T-shirts and I bought some dried mangoes (芒果干). We went to the airport after lunch. I was lucky because I got a window seat again. This time I could see the beautiful sunset (日落).
We enjoyed the trip very much. I hope we will go on another trip again soon.
Love

If your pen broke at school today, what would you do? You would go to a shop and buy a new one. What if you could simply print out a real, working pen with your 3-D printer without leaving your room?
Ten years ago people could only see 3-D printing in science fiction（虚构的） movies. But now 3-D printing is here and it’s bringing big changes.
Unlike normal printing that can only copy a 2-D picture with ink（油墨），3-D printing can build almost anything made from material. The printer layers(分层) the material in different shapes to create the object you want to be copied.
The 3-D printer has been used to make many different things. People have made cups cars and even an airplane with it.
Doctors have been using 3-D printers for several years. People’s nervous systems （神经系统）have been printed out in 3-D form medical research. Some body parts have been printed and used in hospital. Several months ago, doctors used a 3-D printer to rebuild the face of a person who had a bad accident. In the future, it is expected（期待） that the printer will make human organs（器官） to save more lives.
However， there are drawbacks to the printer. At the moment, printing can be quite slow and it’s still rather expensive. The average(平均的) price of a household printer is around $1,700,not including the cost of the materials.
But as the technology develops, disadvantages will be improved. Only time will tell where this new technology will take us.
People could see 3-D printing in_________ten years ago.
A. large high school
B. science fiction movies
C. digital camera shop
People still can’t make a(n)________with a 3-D printer so far
A. airplane B. face C. organ

Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The normal printer can build 3-D objects you mant.
B. No nervous systems are printed out in 3-D form.
C. The 3-D printing can be cheaper and faster in the future

A. The disadvantages of 3-D printing
