There are four great inventions from ancient China．
Compass is a great gift to the world． Before it was invented， sailors had to depend on the stars to find direction． After it was invented， the oceans were open to travel．
Paper﹣making is one of the greatest inventions． During the Western Han Dynasty （202 B．C．﹣9A．D．）， paper was made in some places in China． It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty（25A．D．﹣220A．D．）by Cai Lun．He made paper with bark（树皮），old cloth and so on．
It is said that in the third century a Chinese man wrote about how to make gunpowder．At first，it was used for making fireworks（烟花）．At the end of the Tang Dynasty，people began to use it in wars．The way of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries．
Printing was developed in 1041﹣1048 in the Song Dynasty．A man named Bi Sheng carved characters（字符）on pieces of clay and wood．Then he put ink on them．After the characters were printed on paper，the pieces of clay or wood could be used again．This technology then spread to Korea，Japan and Europe．

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house． They may take out the trash， walk the dog or sweep the floor． In return， some kids get money or other rewards from their parents， such as 20minutes to play computer games．
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores． One of them is Jane Smith， a parenting educator and family coach． She believes if kids get rewards， they may think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return． For example， kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty． But they will do it if their parents reward them for it．
"Every house is a team effort，" Jane said． "A home is a living space for everyone in the family． It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean．"
Other people hold different opinions． They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores． It also teaches them real world lessons． They can learn about how we need to work to make money．
Now， there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores． The apps give kids points and digital （电子的） gifts that can be used either online or in life． With the app ChoreMonster， kids earn digital points after doing chores． Kids can exchange their points for real rewards， such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall． "Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards，" says Joe Black， founder of ChoreMonster． "Kids need positive （积极的） power to make them do chores．"

It was dark outside the car window that it was hard to see anything．
"Can I have a carrot，Mum？"Riley asked．
"I don't have any carrots，"her mum said．"If I eat one now，it might help me see in the dark．"
Would eating a carrot really help Riley？What is special about carrots？A clueto what makes a carrot special is its color．Carrots are orange because they store beta﹣carotene（β胡萝素）．Beta﹣carotene is a way to talk about vitamin A （维生素A）．Your eyes need vitamin A．It helps them work．
When light hits your eyes，very small parts inside turn the light into messages．The messages go to your brain（脑），and then you know what you're looking at．Your eyes can only turn light into messages when it has a special chemical（化学物质），that's where vitamin A comes in．Your eyes use vitamin A to make the special chemical．Every time your eyes change light into messages，a little bit of the chemical is used up．By the end of the day，you're looked at hundreds of things．That uses up a lot of the chemical．Your eyes need to make more．
What should you eat if you don't like carrots？Don't worry．Other fruits and vegetables have vitamin A，too．The secret is in their color．Most orange or red fruits store some beta﹣carotene，or vitamin A．Sweet potatoes，red peppers，mangoes（芒果） are a few that have the same orange secret．Can you think of any more？

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."

With so much free time on our hands during lockdown， many of us have entertained the idea of knowing more about the world． Learning a foreign language is a good choice． Here are a few examples， in order of time it takes people to learn them．
Latin languages （about 600 hours）
The popular Latin languages ﹣ Italian， French， Spanish and Portuguese ﹣ require about 600 hours to learn． Of these， Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn． They are followed by Portuguese and finally French．
Latin languages share many words with English．However，those shared words look or sound similar， but have different meanings over time．
Greek （1，100 hours）
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet（字母表）．It is also a language that has contributed many words to English． Indeed， the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words（外来词） as well as the unavoidable basic English．
Japanese （2， 200 hours）
Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"）， small and round （like "apples"）， thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"）， and hundreds more examples．
What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender（性别）． There's a "rough" language for men and a more "ladylike" language for women， but you must understand both．
Chinese （2， 200 hours）
Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin （普通话） speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong． If you think that's strange， consider our number system： the symbol "2" is widely understood but it's pronounced "two" in English and "duex" in French．
（1）For an English speaker， which of the following is the easiest to learn？
A． Japanese．
B． French．
C． Greek．
D． Italian．
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A． The same word in two languages always has the same meaning．
B． The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet．
C． Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes．
D． A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently．
（3）The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers ．
A． how to learn some foreign languages
B． why they must learn a foreign language
C． some information on the difficulty of foreign languages
D． not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hard
"In this life，what did you miss？"
The wife asked the husband when she was 25．Despondently （沮丧地），the husband replied，"I missed a new job chance．"
When she was 35，the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus．
At the age of 45，the husband sadly said，"I missed the chance seeing my close relative before his last breath．"
At 55，the husband said disappointedly，"I missed a good chance to retire （退休）．"
At 65，title husband hurriedly replied，"I missed visiting my dentist．"
At 75，the wife did not ask the husband any more，she was very sick．Remembering the question the wife used to ask him，this time the husband asked the wife the same question．The wife，with a smile and peaceful look，replied，"In this life，I did not miss having you!"
The husband was full of tears．He always thought that they could be together forever．He was always busy with work and other things．He had never thought of his wife．The husband gave a big hug to the wife and said，"Over 50years，how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me．"
Life does not last forever，so always live in the now．Don't neglect （忽视）the loved ones who care for you．Express your gratitude （感激）to your loved ones in words．Show your love with actions．Treat every day as the last day of life．In this way，when you are gone，your loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about．
（1）Every time the wife asked the husband what he missed in his life，the husband never thought of
A．himself
B．money
C．his job
