In recent years，red tourism（旅游业）has developed quickly and is expected to become more and more popular as the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary（周年纪念日）of the Communist Party of China（CPC）（中国共产党）.And people's hopes of learning and experiencing revolutionary（革命的）history and culture have become stronger.
From 2004 to 2019，national red tourism resources（资源）continued to increase and tourists visited an increasing number of revolutionary cultural relics（文物）.The number of such trips made by people increased from 140 million to 1.4 billion（十亿）over the same period and more and more people go to these red tourism areas，such as Yan'an in Shaanxi Province.
In Pingshan，Hebei Province，where Xibaipo is located（位于），people have depended on red tourism to develop farmhouses，gardens and tourist shops.This has helped to provide jobs for more than 80，000 local people.
Red tourism has not only met people's travel needs but also their strong wishes for knowledge on revolutionary traditions.This has led to the economic（经济上的）development of old revolutionary areas.As the 100th anniversary of the CPC is coming，the Ministry（部）of Culture and Tourism will further develop red tourism and provide people with better products and services based on Party history education.Protection of revolutionary relics will also become stronger.

"In the ancient Chinese story，Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work，why can't we？Nobody was born to be poor？" Hearing his words，the villagers decided to make a difference.

After 10 years，the village was called "National Forest Village".

You might not think much about where your garbage goes．But now you might want to know．On July 1，Shanghai introduced a new garbage﹣sorting policy （垃圾分类政策）．People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins． Other cities in China will do the same soon．
Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days．It is bad for our environment．In fact， we can make use of some garbage again． But first， we need to sort it．
For example， if you put an old battery （电池） into the "harmful waste" bin， people can use it to make new batteries． But if you don't， the battery will end up somewhere else．Then， it will pollute the environment．

In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world．They're not really bad guests，but because the guest﹣host relationship（关系） in China is much different than in some western countries．It seems that they are not nice guests．And western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests．
In China，guests are almost like gods（上帝）．Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water．In the west，generally the guest is not a god．Acting according to（根据） the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest．
My wife's mother，a very kind elderly Chinese lady，doesn't smoke．When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a non﹣smoker，I feel unhappy．Usually I want to stop them directly（直接地），but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that．In most North America homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house．At the very least，you could ask，"Is it OK if I smoke？"But don't besurprised if the hosts say，"No，you can't smoke．"In our culture，if you smoke in their home，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not a rude host．
Guests in China also have special habits．Some western people may not adapt tothese habits very soon．Thankfully my wife is Chinese，so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift．However，giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country．So，if you invite international guests to your home，don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift．
In China，you probably won't need to change the guest﹣host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host，and Chinese are naturally very good hosts．If western hosts invite you to their house，try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected．

Playing for Friendship
Ping pong，or table tennis，might seem like an ordinary game to play with friends or family，but it holds a special place in China﹣US relations，as it has helped both countries get along for the last 50 years.This has been called "ping pong diplomacy （乒乓外交）".
Judy Hoarfrost was just 15 years old when she was sent from the US to China as part of a nine﹣ member table tennis team.The year was 1971.and for the past 20 years，relations between China and the US had been unfriendly.
But as the team toured around China，things started warming up.Hoarfrost even got to meet then﹣Premier Zhou Enlai. "The most unforgettable moment was Zhou shaking hands with me and looking into my eyes，" Hoarfrost told China Daily. "You have opened a new page in China﹣US relationships，" Zhou told the team.
In the years that followed the historic visit，ties between the two countries started to blossom.US president Richard Nixon would make a landmark （里程碑） visit to China in 1972，which also saw Chinese table tennis players make their own visit to the US，according to China Daily.Diplomatic relations between the US and China were fully established （建立） in 1979.
Players from both countries believed strongly in the idea of "friendship first.competition second".To this day，many of them remain friends.Hoarfrost thinks we should remember ping pong diplomacy in order "to understand the importance of people﹣to﹣ people exchanges in establishing bonds，human bonds between peoples. "
Seeing tension （紧张局面） between two of the world's biggest powers in recent years，Hoarfrost said China and the US should work together. "We have so much in common，and we need to build on what we have in common，" she added.

What's in a Name？
Many American names come from England．But where did most English names come from？
Centuries ago，most people in England had only one name﹣﹣their first name．In the 11th century，five
or six of the 50 people in a village might be named William，and it was easy to get confused．But in the Middle Ages，people found a way to describe each person exactly．If there were four Williams in one village，one might be referred to as William the son of John．A second might be called William from the hill．A third，William the blacksmith（铁匠）．And a fourth，William the brown haired．In conversation，people might refer to the four Williams as William John's son，William hill，William smith，and William brown．
It was 300 or 400 years before the extra （ 附加的） names gradually developed into last names，or
surnames．They were passed on from generation to generation．By the 1300s，Robert，the son of William
smith，had the name Robert smith，even if he was not a blacksmith like his father．As the last name became widely accepted，the first letter was capitalized，as in Robert Smith．By the 15th century，most people of the upper and middle classes had surnames．
Many surnames were based on father﹣son relations．The"son of"part was added to the father's first
name，like Johnson，meaning John's son．Sometimes it was shortened to just"s"，as in Jones or Evans．
Surnames like Hill described the place where a person lived．They are the most common type of surname．A third kind of surname was based on a person's job．Forester was someone who looked after the forest．
In the Middle Ages，occupation names such as Baker，Carpenter，and Miller became common．The fourth kind of surname was nickname（绰号）．A man whose surname was Bear might be as fierce as a bear．
Have you ever wondered why some surnames are so common？The most common surname in the
English language is Smith．Being able to make metals（金属）into tools was an important skill in the Middle Ages，and many people were trained as blacksmiths．The most common American surnames are Smith，Johnson，William and Brown．
61．Where do many American names come from？
62．When did people find a way to describe each person exactly？
63．How long did it take for extra names to develop into last names？
64．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？
65．Why were many people trained blacksmith in the Middle Ages？
①Animal behavior（行为）is an interesting and attractive study.Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food.They study how animals protect themselves from their predators，and which animals kill other animals for food.All of this helps us understand how useful animals can be.
②Each country or culture raises some animals for food.In the United States，people mainly eat meat from cows，chickens and pigs.In other countries，people might raise sheep or buffalo for meat.These differences come in part from weather and other environmental conditions.People around the world eat all kinds of fish and shellfish from oceans and rivers.In some countries，people don't always choose some animal groups，such as dogs，for food while in other countries such animals may become people's favorite food.
③In West Africa，animals provide humans with more than food.They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years.Horses，oxen，and other work animals pull heavy things.Elephants；camels；and other animals carry people and things from place to place.Carrier pigeons （信鸽）have been used to send messages.
④People also receive health benefits'（利益）from animals.For example，dogs and cats can help calm people down.This is helpful for people fighting illnesses.Animals can also reduce stress，helping people to draw their attention to learning new information，such as reading.When people are walking their dogs or horses，it encourages exercise.
⑤Animals and humans share space on Earth，so keeping a healthy relationship with animals，around us is in our best interest.

According to UNESCO，a large number of children in villages in some African countries like Kenya and Tanzania do not go to school.They have to work to make money for their family.And more than half of people in these countries live without electricity.
A company is now working to solve both of these problems.It has created a special solar（太阳的）power station，which is in the shape of a cow，called"Solar Cow".The company encourages parents in those poor villages to send their children to school by setting up Solar Cows at schools.
Just as its name suggests，the Solar Cow can charge batteries（给电池充电）called"Solar Milks".The Solar Milks provide electricity for the families.
The batteries can only be charged using the Solar Cow，so children have to go to school to get the electricity.Everyday，children put their batteries into the bottom of their school's Solar Cow.
They go to class while the batteries are being charged.At the end of the day，they take the charged batteries home.
Each fully﹣charged Solar Milk battery can charge a mobile phone three or four times，or a radio once or twice.The battery is also a flashlight，and it can provide ten hours of light."My father used to travel two to three hours to the charging shop to charge his phone，and it cost a lot，" a boy said. "But now，he can use the battery I bring from school to charge his phone at home."
Since 2018，this company has set up two Solar Cows in Kenya and one in Tanzania.The company also started to raise money for more Solar Cows to help the poor children in Africa.

How did people tell the time before clocks were invented？
At first， the ancient people looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky． They also knew when it was morning or evening．
Later， the Egyptians used sticks． These sticks measured （测量） time during the day．The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow（阴影）． As the sun moved across the sky， the position（位置）of the shadow changed． This would let people tell what time it was．
Over time， the Chinese first used sundials instead of shadow sticks． The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it， As the sun shines on it， a shadow appears on the numbers．Each number stands for an hour of the day． But sundials don't work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out．
Water clocks used water to measure time at night． Water dripped（滴落）slowly from one bowl into another． The level of the water in the bowls showed the time．
People also used sand﹣glasses． You may have seen one． Some games still use sand﹣glasses． The sand falls from the top of the sand﹣glasses to the bottom． It measures short amounts of the time． The more sand falls， the more time has passed． When the sand has finished falling， you have to tum the sand﹣glasses over．

Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years， but not everything that is said about them is good． Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires． There's even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!
The theory is that the radiation （辐射） given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees， navigation systems （导航系统）． Bees have a built﹣in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives．But recently， thousands of bees have failed to find their way home． It is believed they are dying far from their hives．
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems． The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them． Without bees， the crops can't continue to grow． Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees． Jim Piper， a London beekeeper， said to the reporter， "My business is becoming worse． Twenty nine of my forty hives are now empty．"
Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not， but it's a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers． And we can't manage without them．Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared，man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct， we need to do something about it right now﹣before it's too late．
