On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents,we visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds.Some are native (当地的) to Australia and can only be found there.There are over 600 animals there,including kangaroos,koalas and crocodiles (鳄鱼).They are kept in their natural environment.I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages (笼子).
We first spent some time with the kangaroos.We were allowed to touch and feed them.It was very exciting to be so close to them.There were koalas there too.They looked very cuddly (令人想拥抱的).Although we were not allowed to carry them,I got to take a photo with one.
It is a wonderful souvenir (纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.
The Wildlife Park has plenty of fresh water and saltwater crocodiles.Some of them are really big and scary (吓人的) with huge teeth!I did not want to get too close to them.
There was also a bird show.The keepers showed us different species (种类) they had.I saw an old parrot which could"talk".It made a great impression on me.
I enjoyed the trip very much.There was so much to see.

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?

At the reading class, teachers assign reading homework and give instructions to 430 class members every day.
A survey report released(发布) on Thursday said 70.9 percent of primary and middle students in China use the Wechat instant messaging App.
At the same time, 75.9 percent of Chinese children have their own mobile phones, according to China National Children's Center.

A problem is only a problem until there is a solution(解决办法).We find solutions by thinking creatively.(76) In other words,we think outside the box.Sometimes,thinking outside the box solves not just one,but two problems.
Amsterdam is one of the most crowded cities in Europe.As a result,housing is very expensive,especially for students.
(77) However,finding this type of apartments was almost impossible until recently.
While the colleges in Amsterdam were trying to solve the housing problem,thousands of shipping contains(集装箱)were lying quietly in ports(港口)around the world.These huge steel containers carry products from one country to another.The life of each container is about 10years.(78) Yet they can't recycle all of them because there are so many.
Back in Amsterdam,a company came up with an amazing idea.Why not reuse these shipping containers as student apartment?(79) They are all the same size and fit together perfectly.The steel is strong.Moreover,these containers are so widely available that they are quite cheap to buy.For all these reasons,they can be used to build apartments quickly and cheaply.Building began in 2005,and after only a few weeks,hundreds of Amsterdam students had new homes.
When students first heard about this idea,they thought the container apartments would be small,noisy,and cold.(80) Each container apartment has a kitchen,a bedroom with a study area,and a bathroom.The apartments are warm and quiet.They even have a high﹣speed Internet connection.Living in a shipping container has become popular.Today,3,000Amsterdam students live in the container village.

Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4to sit and drink several cups of tea? Ask any of my German students and they will tell you "YES!" But it's simply not sure.
We drink over 150million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for it. "Tea" is wildly used as a meal for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Unusually it is the main meal of the day,eaten between 5and 7. So,"teatime" refers to (指的是) the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening meal is often called dinner, however, dinner in the north is the midday meal. In general:
North: Breakfast ﹣﹣ Dinner﹣﹣ Teatime
South: Breakfast ﹣﹣ Lunch﹣﹣ Dinner
What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I'm afraid. Tea breaks are just an opportunities(机会) to have a rest from work for around 10minutes. In this time you can drink what ever you like (which of course includes tea ). This is usually with a small snack, like biscuits. The best time for a tea break is around 11a.m. or around 3p.m.
But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea,cakes and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually saved for special occasions(场合) such as a birthday party.

It seems like technology is everywhere.Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do.They constantly(持续地)require our attention.We text our friends with them during the day,sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.
