When I was very young，people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.My grandmother always took me to the orchard（果园） on the hill.At that time，they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.Even though we worked so hard，the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day，two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced，and later，canals and other projects began to be built in my village， "Who are they？" I asked. "They are good men from our government，" my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards，I moved to another city for my junior high school.The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day，my family and I made time to return.We were surprised because everything had changed.The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it.When we arrived home，my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples.She told us that after the water conservation project（水利工程） was completed a policy（政策） was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.

Pangolins have small heads and long，broad tails.They are toothless.They have small ears，but their hearing is good.Their sense of smell is well﹣developed，too.But their sight is poor.When they feel frightened，they roll up into a ball to protect themselves. "My favorite thing about the pangolin is the scales （鳞片）it has on its body.They look cool， "Landon said.

As usual， Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow schoolbus，Luckily the trafic lights turned green as she was to cross the road， so she made it．When the bus passed the golden arches（拱形门） of MeDonald′s， they reminded her of a hamburger．She hadn′t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn′t look delicious at all．However， Amber remembered that she was still on a diet．So now she was really in a black mood．
You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning．In fact， colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine．Take language for example：You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．To describe a depressed（沮丧的） person， you say that the person is"feeling blue"．In short， colors do add interest to daily conversations．
Besides， colors can be used in many parts of your daily life．Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow， and stop signs red？Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color，it can catch people's attention， especially in heavy traffic．As for red，it is the color which usually shows warning； as a result， some traffic signs use this color．For the same reason，hot﹣water taps are usually marked red．
The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red， yellow， orange， and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃口）．This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods，and，therefore，able lo raise people's spirits．Blue， in comparison with bright colors， is sad to lower people′s appetites because few foods are blue in nature．For those who are on a diet， blue dishes and bowls might help!
"Morning， Amber!What happened？You look a bit green， "said Violet， Amber′s best friend，
"Nothing…just feeling…blue， "said Amber．
"Hey! Come to my place tonight．Do you know what I just bought？A wii! It′s red﹣hot．"
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play wth the wii and said， "Sounds great!"

One day，a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas.The father said， "Look!There is a horseshoe.Pick it up and put it in your bag." Thomas said， "It isn't worth the trouble." His father said nothing but picked it up himself.
When they got to a nearby town，they had a rest.There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with a few pennies he bought some cherries （樱桃）.The father and the son continued their way.The sun was well up in the sky.And there wasn't a house or even a tree where they could have a rest.Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on.At this time，his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it.After a while，his father dropped another cherry and once again，his son lost some time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.And so they went on.The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up.
When Thomas had eaten all the cherries，his father said to him， "My dear son，if you had bent（弯曲）down earlier to pick up that horseshoe，it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries.Always remember the lesson that anyone who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things."

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？

Last summer holiday，Aunt Emily took us to a safari park （野生动物园），not far from Liverpool.

When we got there，we bought our tickets and drove into the park.We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions.But to get to the lion' s place we had to go through the monkeys' land first.And that was an experience because they climbed all over the car，ate apples and bananas，and threw all kinds of things at us.They seemed very unfriendly.
Anyway，we went on our way to the lions' place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous.A lion came up very close to us.The next thing we knew，it was on the bonnet （车盖）.It looked calm but we felt terrified.Aunt Emily，who isn't very brave，started to call for help.The kids started crying.Only my brother，George，stayed cool.I sounded the horn （喇叭） but nobody heard us.

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!

Volunteering your time is a great way to make a difference in your community.And you'll feel good about doing something that helps people or improves the places around you.
This past summer，my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was.We wanted to be different.We worked with our parents and teachers to clean up the park，We had a great time making the park even better than before，and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again.
Maybe cleaning up a park isn't your choice，though.No problem!You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project.Do you like playing chess reading，or spending time with your pet？You can volunteer to do what you love to do.For example，you could help at an old people's center，simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better.If you re great at math or English.you could volunteer to be a homework helper at your school.You're always needed to walk dogs or play with cats，Or you can collect things for homeless people，such as soap and toothbrushes.

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.
（1）The underlined phrase "in haste" in Paragraph 1 probably means in Chinese.

匆忙地 |

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."
