Last week my husband and I took a trip to visit friends and go skiing（滑雪）．During my time as a p（1） ， I had flown over these huge mountains many times， admiring the shiny， snow﹣covered mountain tops from above． However， until last week， I never visited（2） at ground level．
The first day we went skiing， we’d（3） into the mountains． Soon we followed the roads along the sides of mountains to the ski places． There we parked our car， I p（4） _ on my skis（滑雪板）and went ahead to the lift．
As I rode the lift even higher up the mountain， I watched the people b（5） move along the snow． At the top of the lift everything was so amazing and beautiful． I was（6） _ （站） on the mountain top， which was circled by more snow﹣covered mountains﹣it seemed that I had moved into a（7） （明信片）． I took a moment to reflect on the（8） _ （自然的） beauty around me． It was valuable， not strong， and easily broken!
Now， I'm back home thinking about the things which I experienced on that mountain top． It reminds me（9） important the environment protecting is! Protecting our environment will make people（10） able to experience the same beauty in the future． So let's take action together to lead to a better future．
We experienced a special period in 2020． Xu Yi， a middle school student from Hubei， told something（1） （interest） to us． Let's check out his story and resolution for the new term．
When Xu Yi was learning English as（2） exchange student in the UK，his English friend（3）
（invite） him to take a Chinese culture course． Then， at 9：30 a．m． the next day， it finally came． He followed the friend to the classroom and was welcomed （4） his classmates． They gave him presents， which moved and excited him．
The lesson was about an ancient Chinese character （字体） called Xiaozhuan． The teacher （5） （clear） explained it from its history to development， how it worked in society and why it was so popular in Qin Dynasty． She also taught the differences between Xiaozhuan（6） the modern Chinese character．
On the one hand， Xu Yi takes pride in Chinese culture． On the o（7） hand， it's a shame that he knows almost nothing about it． As the culture reaches the world， the Chinese should study more about it． As a senior high school student， he is going to read as many（8） （book） as possible to open his mind． He hopes every Chinese person will love and （9） /ˈvæljuː/Chinese culture． After all， everyone is responsible for building and keeping it．
Scientists have long wondered how Australia's koalas get enough water to live．A new study p（1） an answer．
The lead writer of the new report on koalas is Valentina Mella of the University of Sydney． It was earlier t（2） ，she explains，that the animals got most of the water they needed in the leaves they ate．
In the wild， koalas get water from the plant leaves they eat． But they also get it from water r（3） down from the trees during it rains．
Mella and other scientists w（4） koalas in the wild every year．They find that koalas are a
（5） at night． They live in trees and depend on them for food， drinking and also for resting places．
Koalas spend most of the time high up in the trees． They eat lots of leaves． An adult koala n（6） eats between 0.5 and 0.8 kg of leaves a day． Koalas sleep about 20 hours a day．
Mella notes that a koala usually spends 98% of its 1（7） in trees． She also notes that the only time they come down to the ground is to d（8） another tree with better leaves．
In fact， the word "koala" means"no drink" in the l（9） language． Koalas did not go down onto the ground very often． So it was considered that they had no need to drink water．
The koalas' living e（10） is getting worse now because the fires from September 2019 to January 2020 in Australia have burned about 30% of the forests where they live．
When I was a child， my mom liked to make food for dinner every now and then． One night she made（1）d after a long， hard work．

When I got up from the table that evening， I heard my mom apologize（道歡）to my dad for（6）b the cookies． And I will never forget what he（7）s ： "Dear， I love the burned cookies．"
Later that night， I went to kiss Dad goodnight and I（8）a him if he really liked his burned cookies． He hugged me and said： "Your mom had a（9）h work today， and she's very tired． Besides， a little burned cookie never hurts（10）a !"

He called his sons together in his room．"Bring（5） （I） a bundle （束） of stick，" he asked his servant （仆人），Soon enough， a thick bundle of sticks arrived， tied （6） （close） together．
One by one， he gave the bundle to each son， and asked him to break the bundle． One son after another pulled and twisted （拧） with all of his strength （力量），（7） the sticks would not break．

Of course， the single stick（8） （break） in two easily． The old father looked at his sons．"Do you understand this lesson？" he asked．
Each son， being inteligent，（9） （understand） the meaning at once．Alone，it is easy for one of them to be harmed．But together， they are strong and can't be harmed even（10） great torces（势力）．
That's the meaning of the sticking together． In unity， there is great strength．
