My family had a great summer in France． We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people． The French are very friendly． They have helped us get used to living here and have made us feel welcome． There are so many things to share with all of you．
The best parts of the summer was getting to see the Tour de France． It is the most famous bicycle race in the world． It's held every July． The riders travel more than two thousand miles over about a month！We got a quick look at the riders as they passed by! After the race，our family rented bikes，and we rode along part of the route that the riders used．
A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails（蜗牛）． The answer is yes． We went out to dinner a few weeks ago，and our parents ordered them． We each tried one and it didn't taste too bad． The snails are served with lots of melted butter． They feel a little rubbery when you eat them，but they don't actually have much taste． My favorite food here is the French pastries（酥饼）． My sister loves the fresh bread from the bakery down the street．
We went to visit the Eiffel Tower a few weeks ago． We went all the way to the top． It was a sunny day，so we could see for miles and miles into the distance． Dad doesn't like heights，so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground．
Those are our favorite highlights of our time in France so far．

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）

C |
"I've met some great people.Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together. " |

Animals are our friends． Sometimes they make trouble， but sometimes they can help us．And they hope to live a happy life， too． Here are two real stories from our readers．
The first story is from Ray．"My cat， Tiger， hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him． One year， I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours， During this time， I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help． Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed． 'What's he up to？' I wondered． To my surprise， he started to push something towards me． It was my iPad，which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor．He probably didn't know what it was， but he knew that it made me happy． Thanks to Tiger， I was able to communicate with my friend， Becky， who then told my doctor．"
The second story is from Colin． "Years ago， my friend Julius saved a bird﹣a wild 'Mom' cockatoo（鹦鹉） from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage（笼子）．It lost one of her wings， so she was unable to return to the wild． Soon， two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage． The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting． But as she couldn't fly，'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree， keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo． 'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad， leaving his mom behind．She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon．The family stayed together happily．"

Most people use their mouths to talk， but do you know some people use their hands to speak？ Some people who cannot bear use their hands to communicate messages to others． This is called sign language． These people make shapes with their fingers， movements with their hands， as well as different faces in order to talk to other people．
One way people speak with their hands is by making shapes for letters with their fingers． For example， if you make an "OK" sign with your thumb and finger， that is the shape for the letter "f" in American sign language． Each letter has a hand shape． This way people can spell words using their hands． For example， if you want to spell "fun"， you need to make three shapes． First you make the shape for the letter "f"， then the shape for the letter "u"， and then the shape for the letter "n"．
______．If you move your hand from your nose to your chin（下巴）， you can say "mother" in American sign language． Of course， you have to use the correct hand shape， too． That shape is like holding
your hand open with all five fingers showing． If you move your hand from the top of your head to your chin， you can say "father"． Again， you have to use the same hand shape that you used for "mother"．
Finally， people can change their faces to communicate in a sign language． For example， if you want to ask a question， you need to make your eyebrows（眉毛）go up． You also need to move your head forward a little． If you want to say "I do not know"， you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down．

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.
▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells（lymphocytes）or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.
Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.
Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.
The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？
Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19，it can be better.
（1）The coronavirus can .
| A． |
not be killed |
| B． |
not be found |
| C． |
cause deaths |
| D． |
stop pandemic |
（2）Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2？
| A． |
Vaccination can provide us with B cells. |
| B． |
Vaccines are made from different viruses. |
| C． |
Vaccination can prepare us against viruses. |
| D． |
Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do. |
（3）Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine .
| A． |
needs taking more than once |
| B． |
is equally safe |
| C． |
contains viruses that are killed |
| D． |
is more effective |
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
| A． |
Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19. |
| B． |
The immune system can be more effective with vaccines. |
| C． |
The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses. |
| D． |
180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases. |
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？

Dogs may be man's best friends，but for Sisu，a stray dog，the unicorn（独角兽）is his best friend.
Recently，Sisu broke into a store in North Carolina five times，trying to steal the same purple unicorn toy.But every time he got it，a salesman would find him，take the toy away and put it back on the shelf.When it turned out that Sisu wouldn't give up，the salesman had to lock the door and not let Sisu in，and then called Duplin County Animal Services for help.
Samantha Lane，the officer who answered the call，was so moved by Sisu's love for the unicorn that she bought the ＄10 toy for the dog.
"The only thing we can think of is that he came from a family that had a similar toy or had children who had one， " said Joe Newbum，a director of Duplin County Animal Services.

Proper Feeding of Dogs |
Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste，according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization （联合国粮农组织）.Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell﹣by date，while families throw away food that they can't finish eating.
The world's first food bank was founded in the US in 1967.Some people and stores donated （捐赠） extra food to the bank.People could take the food home there if they didn't have money to buy any for themselves.In Shanghai，there is a "shared fridge" in some communities.It is free for everyone to take food from it.
A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell﹣by date is still safe to eat.They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes.You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary.If you don't want to spend money，you can volunteer at the cafes instead.
What else can we do to stop food waste？The answer is simply buying less food.

Zack： [hesitantly（犹豫地）] Well， Kelly， I suppose we've got time…
Vera： And we can stop off in Tsim Sha Tsui and get something to eat first．I'm sorry，but I don't think I'll be able to get anything good once we get there．
Zack： I don't know， Vera ﹣it's already eleven o'clock．．
Tim： Actually， why don't we have a look at Stanley， Market before we go to the beach？ The bus stops right in front of the market． I want to look for some casual shirts and trousers．
Kelly： Oh， yes， Tim， let's do that．Maybe they have some trendy swim suits，and some jewellery…
Zack： [to himself] This is really awful! [to the others] Look， I don't want to go to a restaurant or go shopping﹣I just want to go to the beach on a nice day． You all said you'd go with me， but if you don't want to， you don't have to． See you later．
[sound of a door opening and closing ]
Vera： Somebody's not glad!
Tim： Well， it was his idea to go out， after all．
Kelly： Oh， dear， poor Zack． I'm going to call him．
[on the telephone] Hi， Zack？ Look， just wait at the bus stop for me． I'm coming now． I won't go to the mall．
Tim： Tell him I'm coming too． We don't need to stop at the market．
Vera：[sighs（吸气）] Oh， all right． I can risk having lunch at the beach， I guess．
Kelly：[on the telephone] Zack？ We're all coming now． We should all enjoy this great day together．
[to the rest] OK， let's go． We shouldn't keep Zack waiting．
Tim：[hurriedly] OK， come on， everybody…[fade]
