The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal's Office
When I was in the seventh grade，I had problems behaving．My heart was in the right place，but I couldn't always follow the rules．I played many tricks
on my schoolmates．Once，I even pulled a girl's hair on the school bus to get her attention．As a result，I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal（校长）．Although I hated going there，I did not hate the principal，Mr．Ratcliff．
Mr．Ratcliff was a kind，elderly man．When he spanked（ 打屁股） me for putting some ants into a
classmate's pencil box，it didn't hurt at all，but it did hurt my feelings．I thought so much of him and
moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad．
When I got called to Mr．Ratcliff's office for the sixth time，I had no idea what I had done．I
felt disappointed as I walked down there．I went into his office，sat down，and looked at the floor．Then he said the last thing I expected to hear："Kevin，I've heard you've been behaving really well lately．I
want you to know how proud I am of you，and I just called you down to my office to give you a
peppermint．"
"Really？"I was surprised．
"Yes．Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class．"
I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin．When I got into my classroom，I bragged （ 吹嘘） to my classmates about my turnaround，excitedly．I wasn't so bad after all．
Mr．Ratcliff was really kind．He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior．He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something﹣anything﹣right．Mr．Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love．I will just remember him for the rest of my life．

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 |

| D． |
Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do. |
（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. |

The local people of La Gomera can carry on conversations by whistling（吹口哨） from far away． For face﹣to﹣face conversations，they Spanish．But when they need to speak over a distance（距离），they whistle．
La Gomera is a small island．This island is almost shaped like a circle．It is very mountainous．Walking from one place to another may be a slow and difficult job． That is why whistling is so useful to the local people． A message can easily be whistled over a couple of miles， while to travel that same distance on foot might take an hour．

In the past， I thought I was terrible at many things， such as math， French and science． Although I was good at drawing， I wasn't the best in my art class．I wanted to find out who I was，what I liked and how I could do it better．So， that winter，I took a notebook and kept my diary． When I filled that notebook，I started another one， and then another．
Keeping a diary helps a lot． Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better． It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams， friendships and happiness． Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on． Personally， I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary．For example，when I am fighting with my dad， I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates．I'll write something like，"I might not have clear skin， but I like my eyes．"
Right about now， you might be thinking： it sounds great， but I'm not a good writer； or I'd love to keep a diary， but my handwriting is terrible． Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules， so do whatever feels best．

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have，and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents，because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860，Mr Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.It is because of small things called "genes（基因）"in our body.In 1953，two scientists，Watson and Crick，found out that those small parts are real messages.They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961，another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell（细胞） to build its parts.So far，scientists have found all the words in the DNA map，but we do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one "word" means，we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand ，the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people，Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information，we will use it in the wrong way，just to make people more attractive（有吸引力的）or stop sick people getting jobs.

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!

It seems that food deliverymen （送货员） are always rushing in haste.We can always see them running every minute，and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute.They wear blue，red or yellow helmets （头盔） and many of them don't follow traffic rules.They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights.They use mobile phones when they are driving.
However，not everything goes well with food deliverymen.In the first half of 2017，food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai.That means every two and a half days，a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen take such risks？The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine （罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan if he can't deliver the food on time，reported China Daily.Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.
To solve the problem，food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen，if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice，then he can't do the job for a whole year.

If you feel sad or upset，remember not to watch a happy movie.A sad movie may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University，the U.S.，have found that sad movies can make people happier.They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement.The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated.They died during World War II at the end of the movie.The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before，after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings，including sadness.
According to the result of the survey，scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie.Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships.Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie，their lives were full of hope.
"I want to live my life to the fullest，and this movie has made me think a lot，" one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch﹣Westerwick，the leader of the study，explained that bad moods （情绪） would make people more thoughtful. "Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine.You don't have to worry，and you don't have to think about problems in your life，" she said. "But bad emotions，like sadness，make you feel terrible about your situation.Therefore，seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad，but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more."
