As an exchange student，I studied in France for two years.The first time I took a class in the chemistry lab，I was surprised to find that students were fully "armed".Everyone was wearing goggles（护目镜） and gloves.Safety comes first for science lab class.
My chemistry teacher Mrs.Louise usually gave us the instruction paper the night before the lab class and let us read it.During the class，she first went over the steps and then put us into groups of two to do the experiments （实验）.What was special was that for every lab class，Mrs.Louise changed everyone's lab partner to make them work with different classmates.
The class was often filled with laughter and screams（尖叫）.We once tried to burn the chemicals and watch the colors of the flames （火焰）.Different chemicals produced different colors of flames，including bright orange and dark green.Many students in my class were surprised."Wow!That's so beautiful!" they screamed.Then they excitedly took pictures，posted them online and sent them to their friends.Mrs.Louise didn't get angry with us at all for our "noises".She herself even too photos with us!
After finishing an experiment，we had to write a lab report.If we had a big mistake in the experiment，we needed to analyze （分析）why it happened and what we should do to avoid it next time.The lab reports were very important.They made up around 25% of our term grade.
（1）How did the writer feel when he first took the chemistry class in the lab？
（2）Why did Mrs.Louise change everyone's lab partner in every lab class？
（3）Was Mrs.Louise angry with the students for their "noises"？
（4）What did the students have to do after finishing an experiment？

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.

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.
（1）According to the passage，why should people help chimpanzees？
（2）How do chimpanzees communicate in their natural habitats？
（3）How do chimpanzees adapt to changes in their environment？

With the development of science and technology，communications are becoming easier and quicker now — people can use telephones，cellphones，fax machines and the Internet.It means that we seldom write letters now.But a TV show，Letters Alive （《见字如面》，is bringing back this old habit.
Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses，but there are no funny jokes or different competitions.Instead，only one person walks up to a microphone and reads a letter.The letters were written by people from different times in history.For example，in one episode（集），they read a letter written by the famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941.The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future，
"Every letter opens another world for us，" said Guan Zhangwen，the director of the TV show. "It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers".Since its first episode was on.Letters Alive has been widely praised.Many audiences（观众） say that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.

A two﹣week﹣old baby hippo sat alone on the bank of the Zambezi River in Zambia，a country in Africa.His mother was dead.The morning sun rose and with every passing minute he lost more strength.Without his mother，the baby probably wouldn't make it through the night.
Luckily，Ian Stevenson and his friends saw the baby hippo.They took him back，fed him milk and eggs.The young animal was saved and soon doubled his weight.He seemed happy and healthy.
Later，the hippo，now called Douglas，was moved to an ideal home at Chipembele，a wildlife center owned by Ann and Steve Tolan，They built a sleeping place for Douglas by a pool where he liked to swim.They fed him every three hours.Douglas enjoyed playing with the Tolans' pet dogs and swimming in the pool.Sometimes at night，other hippos came from the nearby river to eat grass.At first，Douglas would walk into his pool to hide. "But he soon fought against his shyness and played with them， "Tolan says.Douglas remained at Chipembele for about five years before he was moved to another part of Zambia.

Screen﹣Free Days
I remember the first time I suggested screen﹣free days in our school to some of our student leaders.Jokingly，I said to the group， "What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones？"
They laughed，and one of them said， "No way，Mr.White.They would be too much." I could feel their worry，and told them that I was only considering single screen﹣free days.Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did，most student in our school spend about six hours a day on screens.Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones.I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents drop﹣off﹣they can't use their own "screens" at school.They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It's clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens，We do see the benefits of technology.However，we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens.That's why we have come up with the idea of screen﹣free days.
During the course of the year，we have built in several screen﹣free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without "screens".For some teachers，this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is "out of date".Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities，for example，card games and room escape（密室逃脱） games，are organized at school.In these activities，students socialize without smartphones and have face﹣to﹣face communication without checking on "likes" they've got online.These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones.
After our first screen﹣free day，students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it.Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology is already part of our world，it shouldn't play such an important role in a learner's life.

Last night we camped by a small lake.During the night，I heard a loud noise，as if someone was laughing.I woke up Lingling and her uncle，and I asked them what the noise was.Lingling's uncle told us not to worry，and left the tent to find out what it was.After a few minutes，he told us to come out quickly.Then he pointed into the forest.It was a monkey.When it saw us，it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest.
Tomorrow we're going to Mount Tianzi.I'll go back next week!Wish you were here!
Love，
Sally.

Since the outbreak （爆发） of the pandemic（疫情），it has made its way around the world.
It has a strong influence on our daily life.People have found a way to protect themselves by wearing face masks （口罩）.We must wear masks anywhere in public.But the masks are one ﹣ time items.This means that we need to discard them after one or two uses.The world has seen wasted masks strewn （散布在） all over the streets and filling up garbage bins （垃圾箱）.
Experts have pointed out that the materials used in masks are difficult to degrade （降解）.It will take at least 100 years for them to degrade naturally.Environmentalists become quite worried because a countless number of wasted masks have ended up in the sea!They are polluting the sea!The sea animals suffer （遭受） a lot and so do we humans.If the sea animals eat them by mistake，the rubbish will be hard to digest （消化） and stay in their stomachs forever.The bacteria on the masks may.kill them too.They will not only largely influence the ecological balance （生态平衡） of the sea，but also can spread some more dangerous illnesses.People will also leave these harmful things in their own bodies and may become ill when eating these sea animals.
In general，the harm of wasted masks to the sea is serious，so we must take action to stop it right now.We should leave them in a safe place and find a wise way to recycle them.
