Smoke alarms（报警器）
House fires cause many deaths each year and a large number of these fires are unfortunately set by children． （1） Kids must understand that they'd better not play with fire． You should keep matches and lighters out of their reach．
（2） The main job of such an alarm is to protect you while you're asleep． You should have a smoke alarm outside each bedroom and on each floor of your home． You ought to have two plans for getting out of your house if there is a fire and practise these plans in the dark with your family．
A smoke alarm warns you of the danger． （3） Take action immediately． When you come to a closed door， check it with the back of your hand． If it feels hot， there may be smoke or fire behind the door， so take care． Once you are out of your house， call the fire department from a neighbor's house． If a family member or a pet is caught inside， you shouldn't go back in． Firemen know how to perform rescues safely
（4） Change the batteries at least once a year． You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working． A smoke alarm lasts about ten years． You ought to change it even if it seems to be working．
About two out of three fire deaths happen in homes with no working smoke alarms．（5）
A． Most of these deaths can be avoided
B． But when you hear it， you don't have much time
C． A smoke alarm is only good if it's working properly
D． So， it's important to teach them that fire is a tool， not a toy
E． A smoke alarm greatly reduces your chances of being hurt in a fire

"Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine， "replied the crocodile． "No knife or tooth can cut through it．"

"My dear friends !" said the King of all animals， going up to them． "Let me know the cause of your disagreement．"
"Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal？ "cried both at once．

"Well， then， "continued the lion， " go and get it， and bring it to me， and I shall be able then to decide between you．"

Here he waited till the elephant came up． The elephant， seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal， raised his long trunk， and took down the hat quite easily．
They then made their way together back again across the river． The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast﹣moving crocodile in the water and became careless． When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch， the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom． The crocodile noticed the accident， so down he dived， and brought it up in his huge mouth． They then returned， and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet． The King took it up， and turning to the elephant， said："You， because of your size and trunk， were able to reach the hat on the wall but， having lost it，you were unable to get it back． And you， said the lion to the crocodile， "although unable to reach the hat， were able to dive for it and save it． You are both wise and able in your own ways． One is no better than the other．"

A group of students from Zhejiang University have successfully developed an"air hand﹣washing machine".The machine uses an infrared ray induction system （红外线感应系统），which can feel the presenceof our hands.If it feels there are hands，the water with the air will come from the tap.And it has been proven that it is nearly as effective as traditional hand﹣washing.It uses only ten percent of the water that regular hand﹣washing does.The students have even set up a company to introduce the product to the public.
Li Qizhang，a member of the team that developed the machine，told a reporter that a model of their machine had already been placed in a classroom building at the university and it worked very well.
In 2014，a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands.Washing one's hands uses a lot of water，Chen thought.Would it be possible to replace the water with air？ Others may not give the question a second thought.However，for Chen and Li，who were studying fluid mechanics （流体力学） at the time，this was considered to be an excellent idea.

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!

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why？Some people think kindness is something out of love and care，while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate （激活）an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood （情绪）.But why and how does it happen？Here are a number of different ways.
Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation，people around may be smiling，too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain（链条）of good feelings to people around？
Secondly，being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly，charities（慈善）also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
In another recent research，even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind，he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood，but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood，you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship，doesn't it？

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction.Goal setting is used by top sports players，successful business people and achievers in all fields.Before you set personal goals，think about what you want to achieve with your life.
Try to set goals in some of the following categories （类别）：
Education - Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school？Are you still growing and learning？
Family - What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members？
Creative - Do you want to achieve any artistic goals？
Career - What job do you want to take when you grow up？What do you need to make your dream come true？
Public Service - Do you want to make the world a better place？
Physical - Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do？
Pleasure - How do you want to enjoy yourself？
To help make the process more manageable，divide your goals into smaller tasks.For example，if you want to reach a main goal in five years，set a three﹣year goal，a one﹣year goal，a three﹣month goal and a one﹣month goal.Then create a daily To﹣Do List of things that you should do today.When a goal is achieved，take the time to enjoy your success.This helps you build the self﹣confidence.
Remember，your goals can be changed as time goes on.But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve，not what your parents，family or teachers want.

Food is a kind of culture.It's a nation's memory and pride.The famous French baguette （长棍面包） is one of their memories and prides.French people think it should be protected. "It is much more than just a kind of bread.It is a symbol of France—it's like the Eiffel Tower，" said Dominigue Anract，president of the Confederation of French Bakers.
So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.
UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list，it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.
The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things：water，wheat flour，yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented （发酵） for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.
Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However，as supermarkets continue to take over，tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette，" Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."
