The FA Cup
The FA Cup is a very special football competition.It is the oldest football competition in the world as it has been played since 1871.It is also famous for the number of football teams in England that enter.
More than 700 football teams take part in the competition every year.That is all of the teams from the four professional （职业的） leagues and hundreds of small non﹣professional clubs.These clubs come from small towns and villages from around England.
Because there are so many teams，it lasts for a very long time.The early games are only between the small teams.After six matches，the professional teams from the third and fourth league enter and then，two games later，the biggest clubs from the Premier League.
Often very small clubs will play against big teams.There have been many surprise results in the past many years.Teams from the fifth league have even won against teams from the Premier League，but a Premier League team does usually win the competition every year.However，there is always a chance of seeing a surprise result.As a result，people show great interest in the FA Cup.
It's amazing that the FA Cup has the power to change a football club，rewrite the past and shape the future.

When your town has winter，the earth's axis（轴） is pointing away from the sun.Your town doesn't get as much light or heat from the sun.The days are shorter and colder.
Winter and summer happen because the earth is tilted（倾斜） as it revolves around the sun.The northern end of the earth's axis points towards the sun in summer.You have more hours of light in summer.Your part of the earth is towards the sun for more hours each day.When the part of the earth where you live is towards the sun，you have hotter days.In winter，when your part of the earth points away from the sun，you have colder days.
You have learned about winter and summer.There are two more seasons in the year.One comes after winter and before summer.The other season comes after summer and before winter.Can you name them？That's right.Spring comes between winter and summer and autumn comes after summer but before winter.
The four seasons are spring，summer，autumn and winter.Spring and autumn are opposite seasons.Which season do you like best？
You have thought about the four seasons of the year.Each season is different.The seasons are made by the northern end of the axis pointing towards or away from the sun.
Your part of the world gets more heat from the sun when the northern end of the axis points to the sun.When the axis points away from the sun，you get less heat.Now you know why winter is colder than summer.The axis is pointing away from the sun in winter.It is pointing towards the sun in summer.

The invention of barcodes（条形码）is based on a very simple idea.We only need to give each product a specific number and print it. （1） We could simply print the number itself.But this can cause problems.For example，an unclearly printed "seven" could look like a "one" to a computer.It's also true for "three" and "eight". （2） We need a better way of printing numbers so that they can be read correctly at high speeds.That's the problem barcodes solve.
Each number in a barcode is shown by seven blocks of the same size. （3） For example，the number "one" is shown in turn by two white stripes（条），two black stripes，two white stripes，and one black stripe.（4）
A barcode includes different parts and each one provides a specific meaning.The first part of a barcode tells you the country where the product was made.For example，690—692 is the barcode for China. （5） .The final part is about the product itself.This is how barcodes work.
A.Then computers can read it directly. B.All information can be shown by barcodes. C.The next part tells you who produced the product. D.And "nine" looks similar to "six" if you turn it upside down. E.Even if you turn it upside down，it isn't similar to any other number. F.These are colored either black or white to show the number zero to nine. |

We are what we eat.From high﹣calorie meals to low﹣fat lunches，much of our health depends on what we eat.We know about the benefits（益处） of eating fittingly for our physical health，but food，and cooking it，is proving to be good for our mental（心理的） health as well.
Some people are now supporting the therapeutic value of cooking food.It's not just about the end result but also the experience someone goes through.Dr Mark Salter，a consultant psychiatrist，told the BBC： "Baking and cooking are good therapies.They help patients develop planning skills，short﹣term memories and social skills—lack（缺乏） of which may lead to mental illness."
TV chef（大厨） and author Nadiya Hussain agrees that cooking is great for helping our mind.She loves to bake and became the champion of the TV show，The Great British Bake Off.She says that "Baking's always been about therapy...It's never really been about the cake." And she thinks that baking is an important tool for our socialization and mental health.
Certainly，creating some delicious food takes our mind off things and gives us something to do，helping us get through the recent lockdown.People have said that mixing dough（生面团）to make bread，for example，has given them a sense of calm and control.Research has shown that doing creative tasks，like cooking，makes us feel happier.Nicole Farmer，who studies how food influences our biology，behavior and mental health，told BBC online that "Cooking represents the human experience of food，and growing people through food，so there is no doubt it can bring us timely positive feelings."

Protecting the Habitats of Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are not only social animals living in communities and work together，but they are smart in many different ways.For over 40 years，people have been studying chimps both in the wild and in captivity.One thing they have learned is that chimpanzees and their natural habitats﹣or where they live in the wild﹣need to be protected.
In 1960，a researcher named Jane Goodall began to live with and study wild chimpanzees in Africa.She learned that they are highly intelligent animals that communicate with gestures and physical contact.They make tools to find food，they possess innate decision﹣making skills，and they make choices about which groups to join and what foods to eat.Chimps cooperate to hunt and often share the food they have caught.In captivity，where they live in zoos and science centres，they can be taught American Sign Language so that they can communicate with their hands.There have even been experiments which show that a few chimpanzees have learned to use computers and to play games!Some scientists argue that chimpanzees can show emotions such as happiness or sadness.
Although chimpanzees are impressive and intelligent animals，their safety is in danger every day.In the wild they can be found in 21 different African countries，living in forests.Chimpanzees are able to adapt（适应） to changes in their environment.They can move to a new place，make new nests，and find new foods.Yet people are destroying their natural habitats.By cutting down trees for firewood and using the space to build houses，humans leave chimpanzees with smaller areas to live in.
Chimpanzees are in danger，and all eyes should be on them. Fortunately many organizations and researchers have started to take steps to protect them.Everyone should be aware of their work and it is important to help these amazing animals.
