If you walk along the River Thames， there are lots of interesting buildings to see．Running through the heart of London，there are also many galleries， markets， shops and keep you busy along its banks． You will also see a strange round building．It looks very old and very different from all the others．This is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre（莎士比亚环球剧场）．
The Globe Theatre was first built here in 1599．William Shakespeare was one of the most famous writers that ever lived．His plays were performed in the theatre for many years．However，in 1613， a fire broke out during a performance．The theatre was destroyed（毁坏），but the second was built the following year．It remained a theatre until 1644，and then it was pulled down to build houses．The modern（and also the third） Globe Theatre was completed in 1997， over 350 years later．This was done to honor Shakespeare，the most famous English writer．To this day， his many plays are performed there daily．He wrote around thirty﹣eight plays．They are comedies（funny stories） ，histories（about historical events and people） ， and tragedies（serious and sad stories）．People come from all over the world to watch them at the Globe Theatre．They are performed in exactly the same way as they were hundreds of years ago．
The building is round and made mostly of wood．There are simple seats on three different levels all around the sides．Everyone can see the stage（舞台）．However．there is no roof（屋顶） in the middle! The cheapest tickets are standing tickets． You stand in the middle，right in front of the actors，but if it trains，you will get wet!

It is reported that tea has helped the poor farmers in Yunnan find a way out of poverty （贫穷） thanks to the efforts of a man named Ren Huaican．
Ren was suffering mouth ulcers（溃疡） when he first visited the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er City in the spring of 2006．However，after picking off several leaves from the old tea trees and chewing（咀嚼） them，he found the pain was gone the next morning．He felt very amazed．Ren began to show great interest in the tea from Yunnan．He found that the local tea business was very scattered（分散的）．He also realized that the local tea farmers were very poor because of the underdeveloped tea market．So he made up his mind to develop the tea industry in order to help the local people get out of poverty．
In September 2006， Ren set up a tea company．He hired（雇佣） poor farmers from neighboring areas to pick tea leaves． Professional technicians（技师） were invited to teach the farmers how to do their jobs scientifically．The company taught them how to manage their trees and produce the best tea．As a result，their tea quality has greatly improved， and the price has gone up．In this way， the tea company has helped many people get out of poverty．

Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years， but not everything that is said about them is good． Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires． There's even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!
The theory is that the radiation （辐射） given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees， navigation systems （导航系统）． Bees have a built﹣in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives．But recently， thousands of bees have failed to find their way home． It is believed they are dying far from their hives．
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems． The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them． Without bees， the crops can't continue to grow． Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees． Jim Piper， a London beekeeper， said to the reporter， "My business is becoming worse． Twenty nine of my forty hives are now empty．"
Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not， but it's a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers． And we can't manage without them．Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared，man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct， we need to do something about it right now﹣before it's too late．

You might not think much about where your garbage goes．But now you might want to know．On July 1，Shanghai introduced a new garbage﹣sorting policy （垃圾分类政策）．People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins． Other cities in China will do the same soon．
Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days．It is bad for our environment．In fact， we can make use of some garbage again． But first， we need to sort it．
For example， if you put an old battery （电池） into the "harmful waste" bin， people can use it to make new batteries． But if you don't， the battery will end up somewhere else．Then， it will pollute the environment．
Garbage sorting and recycling around the world
Germany： There are big machines in supermarkets． You can put bottles in the machines and get money back．
Japan： A truck playing music comes to people's doors to pick up their garbage． There are eight or more kinds of garbage． If you sort any of them wrong， you will get a notice on your door．
Indonesia： People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations． An hour﹣long bus ride costs three large bottles．
Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai
Recyclable garbage includes paper， books， plastic items， and glass bottles． Harmful garbage includes lamps， batteries， and other things with harmful chemicals （化学品）．Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen， such as food and vegetables． Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins， pens and towels， for example．

Part of Earth's beauty comes from its oceans． Ocean scientists study the chemical make﹣up of the ocean，weather patterns， the geography of the ocean floor， and many other areas． Their work is exciting，although sometimes dangerous． Using technology to do certain tasks helps．For example，robotic arms are used for very dangerous tasks．
One basic part of ocean study is understanding waves and how they work．Wind is the great maker of waves． The waves we know are mostly produced by winds blowing over the sea． They are directly connected with the wind speed and the time that wind lasts．
Sometimes ocean life can be seen in the wave．Living things seem to be staying within the wave，moving slowly inside it as if they were weightless．Besides the beauty of waves， scientists are interested in their technical ways． The diagram of waves shows how scientists examine waves． Waves are measured （测量）from the top （crest） to the bottom （trough）． This allows scientists to find out the height of a wave． They also measure waves from crest to crest to determine（测定）the length of a wave．
During serious storms， huge waves might cut a sea ship apart． Ships are at great risk of winding up as broken pieces after being hit by the force of a huge wave． By understanding the ocean，scientists can prevent this breakup of ships by predicting when the water will be too dangerous for people and their ships． The study of waves and the ocean also allows scientists to make sure how certain beaches were formed． By studying the oceans， a great deal can be learned about the surface we live on．

Daily News
Wild beavers （河狸） are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well． The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!
Over ten years ago， a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter， in Devon．No one knew exactly where they came from． It was a big surprise一wild beavers hadn't lived in England for around 400 years!
In 2015， the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial （试验）． They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild．The trial ends in February．Some scientists from the University of Exeter already say the beavers help the wildlife in the area． One scientist called it" an amazing story"．
A lot of this is because of dams． Beavers build dams along the river． This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down． Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers．Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river． Beavers also help make flooding less，scientists say．The beavers' dams slow down the speed of the river， especially after heavy rain．
There are， however， some problems． Beavers gnaw （咬，啃） on trees and this can harm them．Their dams can also sometimes create floods （洪水） on people's land．
Beavers aren't the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019， red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands． Further away， the world's rarest （罕见的）duck， the Madagascar pochard， is making a comeback． It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well．

The longest river in the world is the Nile． It is 4，160 miles long． But the Nile is not the mightiest （浩荡的） river． The Amazon is．The Amazon is also the second longest river in the world．It is 3，900 miles long． How long is that？ It is longer than a road going from New York City to San Francisco．
The Amazon is the mightiest for this reason． It has the greatest amount of water． More water runs out to sea than from the Nile． Mississippi， and Yangtze rivers combined． That's a lot of fresh water! The force of its current （水流） is great too． The current can be seen 200 miles out in the sea． There's a story to show the Amazon's amazing current． A ship sailed （航行） far away from Brazil． It ran out of drinking water． Another ship passed by． The first ship asked for water． Someone on the second ship said． "Just put your buckets （桶） into the sea．"
Here are a few more facts． At its mouth， the Amazon is 90 miles wide．Even up the river，you can't see the opposite bank． The river is also very deep（from 22 to 76 meters）．During rainy season，the river rises about 16 meters more． Big ocean ships can sail about 1，800 miles upstream （向上游）．Smaller ships can sail 1，000 miles farther．
What's the most bloodthirsty fish in the world？ No． It's not the shark． It's the Amazon's piranha． It is only about 10 cm to 20 cm long． It has sharp teeth． Thousands travel in a group． No animal can swim across the river．A 1，000﹣pound horse would be just bones （骨头） in three minutes． Are you planning a trip to the Amazon？ Here's a piece of advice． Leave your swimsuit at home!

Hey， guys! I have a lot of things I don't need， so I'm thinking about having a yard sale． What do you think？

Having a yard sale is not easy． You have to collect things， put prices on them， put them out on tables and then wait for people to come． And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices． For all that time and work， you make very little money． Why not just sell your things online for higher prices？ |
Debby's right． But I think it'd be even better to just give your things to people who need them． I just sent out a lot of things last week． |
Hey， I love yard sales! It's a great chance to make big money if you choose the right day． In my experience， Saturday is the best．
|
I agree with Albert． You can make money and meet interesting people． I made some good friends at my last yard sale．
