During my first two weeks at the University of California，Berkeley，I experienced some unexpected，funny，and sometimes embarrassing（令人尴尬的） situations．Allow me to share some with you．
But first，let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States．Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris．It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley．
I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events．Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris．For example，in only 24hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease（租约） agreement for a flat．What's more，almost all the shops are open on Sunday，which is very practical for me．
The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class．They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class，In France，students respect the teacher's lesson，so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class．
The local people in California are in general very nice，open and active，However，I am not totally used to their habits yet．Indeed，I was used to shaking my friends' hands every day in France．During my second day at Berkeley，I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me "I think we already met!"
Another funny story happened during the first party I attended：A girl that I meet before came to hug me．I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello．So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed．
I live a great experience at present，and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC，Berkeley．

If you live in Shanghai， you might have taken a "lesson" on garbage sorting（垃圾分类），Shanghai is the first city to carry out（实施）strict rules on garbage sorting． People in Shanghai know that garbage is sorted into four categories（类别）﹣recyclable， harmful， dry and wet waste． If people fail to sort their garbage properly， they can be finedup to 200yuan， while companies will have to pay between 1，000 to 50，000yuan for breaking the rules． Since the rules took effect， the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced． The city also rebuilt 21，000 waste﹣sorting stations and more than 40，000 waste bins have been updated．
However， there have also been some problems．Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage， as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dumping． According to the sorting rules， the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin．Because the wet garbage will decompose（分解）properly ad become useful organic（有机的）waste．
By the end of 2020， garbage﹣sorting systems will be set up in 46 cities in our country． Everyone should take an active part in garbage sorting．

On a hot day，many people like to go to the beach.Some beaches，however，are not safe for swimming.
At some beaches，there are sharks in the water.So people put out shark nets.They help stop too many sharks from getting close to the beach.Sharks can still swim under or around the net.But if they try to swim through，they will get caught.Sharks can die if they are not cut free.
Shark nets don't just catch sharks.They can catch other animals，too.They have caught dolphins，stingrays and turtles.Even a whale has been caught in a shark net.I took many people to get it free.

In September，2020，I had the chance to come to China for the first time and visited Yunnan Province.
On the first day we went to a village named Xiaopingzhai.I was amazed to discover that small tea factory could bring in 6 million yuan a year with only 20 workers.

Marianne Carus，who started Cricket（蟋蟀）magazine in 1973 and served as Editor﹣in﹣Chief（总主编）until 2012，died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.
Marianne believed that "only the best of the best is good enough for the young. "In Cricket，children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art，and be encouraged by ideas in the humanities and sciences.Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures.Most important，Cricket would never talk down to children.
Marianne knew that children were filled with fun，and she wanted Cricket to be，too - "humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud. "And so she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs（虫子），such as Lady bung and Spider.
Over the years，Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start.Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine.She treasured these letters from Cricket readers，including long﹣ago readers.They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.
▲She considered other names，such as Troubadour or Taliesin，the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories.Then，one night，she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir（回忆录）A Day of Pleasure，about his childhood in Warsaw.In it he wrote：There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket.It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. "That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do-to tell stories that would never end!So the name Cricket became her best choice.
Thank you for everything，Marianne.May the stories，and the laughter，never end!

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans for a long time.
In 2010，he went on a diving （潜水）vacation in Greece and was shocked."I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water，" he said.
From then on，Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution.He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup，a non﹣government organization.Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish.He has set up the world's first ocean cleanup system （ 系统）with his team.

Wind power is a very clean source of energy． This is how wind power works． Wind makes windmills spin （旋转）． When the windmills spin， they make electricity． Then we can use the electricity．
A lot of people think that wind power is new， but that's not true．For thousands of years， people have used wind to sail boats and move water． We still do those things today， but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity．
Wind power is a very popular source of energy． Most people think that we should use it more and more． First of all， it's clean． Windmills don't pollute the environment at all． Second， we can use wind power forever． After all， we will always have wind． Also， wind power is cheap， and it's getting even cheaper．
A lot of people don't understand wind power very well． They believe that there are problems with wind power， but many of those problems are not real． For example， some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds． They used to be true， but it isn't true anymore． Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast． New windmills spin slowly， and they aren't dangerous for birds．
However， there are real problems with windmills． One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly． This is a problem for people， because windmills are often in very pretty areas． Also， wind doesn't blow all the time， so we can't use wind power all the time． Finally， windmills are noisy．
Wind power is becoming more and more common． Right now， more than 80 countries use wind power． About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind． For some countries， that number is a lot higher． Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity．

C． Windmills are too expensive to use all the time
D． Wind doesn't blow all the time
（4）What does the article say about wind power？
