China's Foreign Minister Mr.Wang Yi highly praised Edgar Snow （1905﹣1972），a reporter from America on March 7 this year during the National People's Congress in Beijing.He said Snow was always "staying truthful and objective（客观的）and standing by justice （正义） and conscience （良心）.
Snow came to China in 1928.He spent over 10 years in China trying to understand its people and showing what he learned to the rest of the world.He is best known for his books and articles on Communism （共产 主义）in China and the Chinese Communist Revolution （革命）.For example，Red Star Over China，which came out in the 1930s，is known as the first book that introduced China's revolution to the west.In it，Snow collected first hand information on the Long March，as well as on the work and life of members of the Communist Party of China.
Many westerners were introduced to the Party through his book.Norman Bethune，a Canadian doctor，came to China after reading Snow's book.He worked hard to save the lives of Chinese soldiers during World War II.
" When the whole world had forgotten us，Snow came to see us and told the world what had happened.We will remember Snow's great help to China forever， " Chairman Mao said during the interview with a German reporter in 1938.

It was a cold，rainy day.My mother and I drove to the mountains.It was dangerous to make the two﹣hour journey along the highway in such weather.I didn't want to take the risk.But my mother advised that we go to see something at the top of the mountain.
After ten minutes' driving，we stopped the car and got out.Walking along a path，we turned at a comer.Gradually，the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.From the top of the mountain，I saw several fields full of flowers，shining like a carpet （地毯）before us.It looked as if the sun spilled （播洒）gold down the mountain.
A lot of questions came to my mind.Who created such beauty？Why？How？

On our way home，I was so shocked by what we had seen. "She changed the world.One bulb （一株）at a time.She started almost 50 years ago.It was probably just the beginning of an idea，but she kept at it. " I said， "Imagine，if I had a dream and worked at it，just a little bit every day，what might I have achieved？"

A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room （手术室）.In the room a patient with cancer（癌症），lies on a table.The cloud is all around the patient，covering her body and filling her lungs（肺）.The cloud is not smoke.It is made of millions of nano﹣robots（纳米机器人）.These tiny robots move from cell （细胞） to cell in the patient's body，killing the cancer.
Fighting cancer with nano﹣robots is only an idea today，but scientists say that it could be possible in the future.Using nano﹣robots for good purposes such as fighting the illness or repairing the environment may be the way to many of today's problems.
However，nano﹣robots could be a dangerous risk as well.Because nano﹣robots are so tiny，they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions.For this reason，nano﹣robots will have to be programmed（被编程）to build themselves.Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano﹣robots one by one.
This ability to re﹣produce is making some scientists worried.What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming？Quite a lot of crazy nano﹣robots would be far worse than any illness.Some people think that if they get out of control，nano﹣robots could make the Earth gone.
What should be done？Should we continue researching nano﹣robots or should we search for other methods？This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.

What are the cultural differences between China and the West？You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu's comics （漫画）.
Cao，32，was born in Beijing，but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US，the UK，and France for 12 years.Having seen so many cultures，Cao wanted to use her drawing sills to show the differences she has experienced.So she created the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics.
"My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today，the distance （距离） between cultures hasn't shortened，" Cao said.She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandingsbetween different cultures.One of her cartoons shows water forms in different countries.Three glasses of water are shown.The glass of water from the US has ice；the one from France is full of sparkling water （气泡水）；the one from China is steaming （冒热气的）.
Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs.During the COVID﹣19 pandemic，she used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks while western people don't."Her simple pictures have played a big part in reflecting Chinese culture，" Italian magazine Grazia reported.

In the Spring and Autumn period （475 ﹣ 221 BC） there lived a man called Ji Zha.He was the fourth son of the king of the Kingdom of Wu.Because of Ji Zha's sticking to righteousness（正义）and wide learning，he was his father's favorite and the king wanted to make him his heir（堆承人）.However，Ji Zha refused because he thought the king's eldest son should be the one to receive the throne.Later，Ji Zha served as an ambassador（外交大臣） of Wu to other kingdoms in China.
Once，on a mission to the Kingdom of Lu，Ji Zha passed through the Kingdom of Xu.The king of Xu received him as a friend，and admired the valuable sword（剑） Ji Zha was wearing.Although his host didn't mention it，Ji Zha could see he wanted to own it very much.However，as he still needed to go to Lu，Ji Zha didn't give the king of Xu his sword as a present.

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.
▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells（lymphocytes）or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.
Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.
Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.
The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？
Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19，it can be better.
（1）The coronavirus can .
| A． |
not be killed |
| B． |
not be found |

| D． |

（3）Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine .
| A． |
needs taking more than once |
| B． |
is equally safe |
| C． |
contains viruses that are killed |
| D． |
is more effective |
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
| A． |
Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19. |
| B． |
The immune system can be more effective with vaccines. |

There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth，but how many do you see every day？You often see the big colourful animals，like birds，rabbits，and fish.But look more closely.Can you see the small ones，too？Insects（昆虫）make up 80 percent of all the world's living kinds.Look on the ground.Imagine you could look under the ground，too.Many small living things with one cell live there.Life is everywhere around us，in every cubic foot （a foot＝ 12 inches）.
David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot .So he made a 12﹣inch cube with a green metal frame.And then he put it in five habitats（栖息地）.He chose a tropical rainforest（Costa Rica），a coral reef（Pacific Ocean），the Table Mountain（South Africa），a freshwater river（USA），and a small park（New York）.Three weeks were spent at each place.He watched，counted，and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size-that crawled（爬）or flew into the cube.
The results were amazing.Liittschwager found both common and rare living things.He discovered many new living kinds，like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail!In total，more than a thousand living things were photographed.Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure".David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity（生物多样性）in the reef was in the skeleton coral（珊瑚遗骨）.These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow.Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity，all the other habitats were full of life.Even the city park!

A Story of David Littschwager |
You may study differently from your friends，but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common.They love doing things together，such as going to movies and concerts，shopping，or just sitting at a small cafe.Since they take a lot of the same school subjects，they would love to study together，but they find this impossible.Their working styles are so completely different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean，open space，while Maria works best with books，papers and other things around her.Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room，but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on.Kelly can sit for hours without moving，and often gets all her homework done in one sitting.Maria，however，is always getting up，and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.
You might be asking yourself：which way of studying gets better results？Many people believe that a silent，tidy setting（环境）is the way to go，▲.Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus（聚焦）their attention，because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So，if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center，don't worry about it.If you work in total silence，that's OK，too.Judging from Kelly 's and Maria's study habits，the best way to study is the way that works for you.In their very different ways，both of them do well in school，and both finish their work within the required time as well.

| May 20，2021 Dear Principal， I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money，since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all，if we all wore uniforms，kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |
