On Feb 12， Dalian（not his real name）was taking a train to Changsha， Hunan， for a business trip． While on the train，he went into a carriage（车厢）to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage．He didn't know that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan．
Several hours later， when the train arrived in Wuhan， Dalian was asked to get off， as he was in the special carriage． Although he was surprised， he didn't want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag．
Because of the epidemic， Wuhan had been locked down． So Dalian couldn't find a hotel to stay in． Feeling at a loss， he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals． Dalian decided to give it a try．
He soon became a volunteer in Wuhan No.1 Hospital． He was responsible for（对……负责）taking out rubbish，sweeping the floor，disinfecting（消毒）the hospital，dealing with used protective suits（防护服）and bringing meals to patients．
The young man， reportedly from northeast China， had to work 12 hours every day， changing his protective suit three times a day． While working， he couldn't drink anything or go to the bathroom． He also had to have close contact with infected patients， which is risky（冒风险的）．
Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first． "When I entered the wards（病房）， I was kind of frozen（僵硬的）and felt like I couldn't move，" he said． But after he saw more patients get better， his fear gradually went away．
Dalian's story has gone viral（走红的）online． People were surprised by his experience， and described him as having "a heart of gold"．

When I was in the second grade，my teacher gave all her students some seeds（种子）．She told us to watch the magic of the seeds once we planted them．Excitedly，I put a few seeds in my pot．I watered them for a few days and purple flowers came out．
In class，I reported back to my teacher that the magic was the purple flowers．My classmates reported back with the red，white or yellow ones．I was wondering why we didn't have green flowers．When the bell rang，we drew a conclusion "a flower garden is beautiful"，and this was my first gardening experience．
Years later，one day，when we drone by Naperville downtown in a summer．Mom pointed out a big land．"Look，this is the community garden land．"she told me．"What is a community garden land？"I asked．"When people live in apartments or town homes，they don't have much land．People pay a little money to rent（租）a piece of land from the city．They can grow anything．""Why don't we rent one？"I curiously asked．"We don't need to．We have a house，so we have a small piece of land．"
A few years ago，an older couple moved in next door．They gave us some tomatoes from their garden．They grew the best tomatoes I had ever tasted．I asked my mom to buy some tomatoes just like our neighbors'．Mon said it was impossible to buy those tomatoes from the supermarket．
So，last year，I decided to try．I had my dad dig out a small land in the back yard of our house，put it some peat moss（泥炭藓）and mushroom compost（蘑菇肥）．For the start，I only planted some tomatoes and cucumbers．Day by day，I looked after my garden and took out weeds（杂草）．I was surprised to see that cucumbers actually grow on the vine，and my tomatoes had a special kind of earthly smell．
At the same time，I found myself suddenly having an interest in weather．I always wished rain to water my little garden．My brother Alex teased me．"You are an old farmer now．"
One day，I found some tomatoes gone in one plant．I was a little sad．Who dared to steal my tomatoes？It was a few rabbits．When I was about to drive them away，my dad stopped me and said，"Alice，the rabbits are thirsty．Let them eat as much as they want．Sharing your food is a good thing．"
Later on，I found people picking a few tomatoes in my little garden and eating them with a satisfying smile．I never said a word．Instead，I felt joy in my heart．When harvest time came，I picked so many fresh cucumbers and delicious tomatoes．
In America，people grow gardens everywhere．The air is always fresh and clean because of many trees，different plants and beautiful flowers．People there learn to love our earth，and love hearing the expression "go hug a tree"．Gardening needs lots of hard work and patience，but mother earth rewards us a lot．

Globalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act．
Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization．Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good．Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer．These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca﹣Cola and McDonald's destroy（破坏）local businesses．However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer．They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures．These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars．This is because countries with economic（经济的）connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't destroyed．
Whether you think globalization is good or bad，it affects the world in two areas：jobs and cultures．

Cultures have also been affected by globalization．Foods such as Japanese noodles，Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world．We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（汉字）in tattoos（文身）．Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean．Globalization also affects the film industry．Most people have seen American movies．But because of globalization，Korean．Indian and Japanese movies have become more wouldwide．

Each summer，you hear news that some sports players are sent to hospitals because it is too hot．Our bodies can't be outside in the sun for a long time．So in hot summers，be careful about playing sports outside．
Firstly，to play sports safely in hot weather，you must drink water．Sports drinks are great for athletes，but they have so much sugar that they'll dehydrate（使脱水）you more．However，drinking a few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you．
Secondly，be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest．If your coach doesn't let you take enough breaks in the heat，don't wait until you feel uncomfortable．Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks．
Thirdly，when you have a break，don't sit in the sun．With the sun beating down on you，you'll only heat up and sweat（冒汗）more．Take a seat under a tree，or even better，go indoors for a little while．Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer．
Fourthly，remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise，the cooler it will be．If you can start practice before the sun comes up，you have a few good hours to practise in the cool hours of the morning．Also，the earlier you practise，the earlier you can finish the exercise．If you need more practice time，come back to the field later in the evening，when the sun is setting．
Last but not least，you should watch what you eat．Eat food which is high in water，starch（淀粉）and carbonhydrate（糖类），but be sure to get a good balance in your diet．
As long as you pay attention to the above，playing sports safely in the heat isn't a difficult thing．
