On the morning of her birthday,the husband got up early,made her a nice breakfast and then took her to the local amusement park.He put her on every ride in the park-the Slide,the Roller Coaster(过山车) and the Wall of Fear....They tried everything there was in the park.
When they went out of the park five hours later,she felt tired and hungry.Right away,they hurried to a McDonald's where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with a chicken hamburger and a large cup of chocolate shake.
Then they were off to the cinema to see the latest movie,complete with a hot dog,popcorn,a big drink and a huge bag of M&M's,her favorite sweets.
After that,the husband drove his heavy wife to the biggest store in the city.There he bought her several dolls that little girls like best.
It was a really busy day.The husband was so proud of what he did for his loving wife.
Finally she went home with her husband and threw herself into the sofa.He asked his loving wife with a big smile, "Well,dear,what was it like being ten years old again?"

These three lucky children always had everything they needed:pretty clothes,good fires,a lovely playroom and a dog called James.They had a happy life,but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the large house was over.
Peter had a toy engine and it broke.After dinner,Peter showed Father the engine.Father looked it over and promised to do it on Saturday.
At that moment two men came to see Father.Minutes passed.Father's voice came out from the study,loud and angry.
More time passed.Then Mother came in and said, "Father's been called away﹣on business."
A week after their father went away,their mother said, "Now,we're going to move to the country.A pretty little white house,called Three Chimneys. "
The family started packing:clothes,plates,candles and also tables and chairs. "We seem to be taking all the ugly things," said Roberta.
"We're taking the useful ones," said Mother. "We've got to play at being poor for a bit."
Peter said joyously, "I do like moving!I wish we moved once a month." Mother laughed and said, "I don't like moving!"
As she turned away,Roberta saw her face.She never forgot it.
"Oh,Mother," she whispered, "how I love you!You are brave enough to laugh when you're feeling like that! "
Then they took a train to Three Chimneys.No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up.
They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn't know how important the station and the trains would become to them.They didn't know they were going to be the railway children .

Tips for being a super-organized student Posted 2 hours ago by Amy I have always admired students who hand in their homework on time and never forget to do it. Me, on the other hand…OK, I admit.

Gloria: 25 May, 2021-09:36 Recently I've started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It's helping. Amy: Thanks, Gloria! I agree. |

Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind?For Alison Jenson,15,this used to happen several times a week.Alison was a shopaholic.She just couldn't stop shopping and she loved special offers.
Alison's bedroom is full of stuff. "I've been to every shop in Birmingham,I think, "says Alison.She picks up some earrings.The labels are still on them. "These were half price, "she says. "I've never worn them. "Alison's problem wasn't just jewellery.She also bought a lot of clothes,though not many shoes,because they were usually too expensive.She has also bought lots of other small things - like 20 new covers for her phone.She hasn't used any of them.
According to experts,we all feel excited after we buy something new.For shopaholics,it's a little different.Soon after they buy something,they think they've made a mistake and start to feel unhappy.So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.
Psychologists (心理学家)first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915.However,there was very little research on the subject until recently.Now,doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem,and the situation is getting worse.There are also more teenage shopaholics now,although most young people don't have enough money to go shopping very regularly.
Alison knew she had a problem. "I often bought something every day.Usually it was something small,but I just needed to buy it, "she says. "I spent money that I got for my birthday,and when I was short of cash,I borrowed money from friends or my parents.When I couldn't go shopping,I felt anxious.Then one day,my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said,'This is crazy!' I knew theywere right. "I needed some big changes in my life.
Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed.She no longer thinks she's a shopaholic. "When I want to buy something in a shop,I ask myself two questions, "she says. "Do I need it?Can I afford it?The answer to both questions is usually 'no',so I walk away.It's great!"

If your pencil box is broken,the batteries(电池)in your flashlights run out,or you have some leftover food,how will you deal with these things?You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin.But actually,we need to sort(分类)all the rubbish separately.If you don't sort your rubbish,all of it will go to a special place where it is buried(埋藏)together.As a result,it will take up some fields.Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater.Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years,some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups:wet,recyclable,harmful and dry.Wet waste is known as household waste.They are things you don't want but pigs can eat.Paper,metal,glass,plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.Harmful waste includes thins like medicine,batteries.Finally,any waste that is not wet,recyclable or harmful will go to the "dry waste" bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish.For example,Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago.Students in Deyang have already received waste﹣sorting guidebooks.They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste﹣sorting efforts.There is still a long way to go.But it's never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly.We should take an active part in it.
(1)How many bad results will there be if all the rubbish is buried together?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
(2)What does the underlined phrase "take up" in Paragraph 1 mean?

B.改变
C.占用
D.从事
(3)Which of the following is harmful waste?

Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking(背包旅行)seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home?That's my experience,anyway.Very often,you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know.I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures.It's a great way to learn more about the world.
It's often easy to make new friends while you're traveling,and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days,until one of you leaves for the next exciting place.Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home,because you do so much together in that short time.I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends.It is safe,I think,because we probably won't meet again,except online.
One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs,so your backpack isn't too heavy.I travel" "light" these days.One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on,instead of washing and waiting for things to dry.Many hostels(小旅社)don't provide shampoo and shower gel.You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.
I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to,and by using local shops and guest houses,they help those places with much﹣needed financial(经济上的)support.Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time,so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area.Backpackers are also kinder to the environment,because they use trains and buses rather than cars.So,what are you waiting for? (By Andy Robinson)
(1)According to Andy,friendships made with other backpackers .
A.are less serious than those with his friends at home
B.end at the moment they separate from each other
C.help him to decide where he would like to travel to
D.allow him to talk about himself in an honest way
(2)Which text message would Andy send to a friend?"
A |
"Why don't you fly out to visit me?We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast. " |

"I'm leaving here tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast. " |
C |
"I've met some great people.Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together. " |

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!

Is there something in your community that could be changed?Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help?If If you're hoping for someone to make a difference,that someone could be you!
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.
