When I was in the second grade，my teacher gave all her students some seeds（种子）．She told us to watch the magic of the seeds once we planted them．Excitedly，I put a few seeds in my pot．I watered them for a few days and purple flowers came out．
In class，I reported back to my teacher that the magic was the purple flowers．My classmates reported back with the red，white or yellow ones．I was wondering why we didn't have green flowers．When the bell rang，we drew a conclusion "a flower garden is beautiful"，and this was my first gardening experience．
Years later，one day，when we drone by Naperville downtown in a summer．Mom pointed out a big land．"Look，this is the community garden land．"she told me．"What is a community garden land？"I asked．"When people live in apartments or town homes，they don't have much land．People pay a little money to rent（租）a piece of land from the city．They can grow anything．""Why don't we rent one？"I curiously asked．"We don't need to．We have a house，so we have a small piece of land．"
A few years ago，an older couple moved in next door．They gave us some tomatoes from their garden．They grew the best tomatoes I had ever tasted．I asked my mom to buy some tomatoes just like our neighbors'．Mon said it was impossible to buy those tomatoes from the supermarket．
So，last year，I decided to try．I had my dad dig out a small land in the back yard of our house，put it some peat moss（泥炭藓）and mushroom compost（蘑菇肥）．For the start，I only planted some tomatoes and cucumbers．Day by day，I looked after my garden and took out weeds（杂草）．I was surprised to see that cucumbers actually grow on the vine，and my tomatoes had a special kind of earthly smell．
At the same time，I found myself suddenly having an interest in weather．I always wished rain to water my little garden．My brother Alex teased me．"You are an old farmer now．"
One day，I found some tomatoes gone in one plant．I was a little sad．Who dared to steal my tomatoes？It was a few rabbits．When I was about to drive them away，my dad stopped me and said，"Alice，the rabbits are thirsty．Let them eat as much as they want．Sharing your food is a good thing．"
Later on，I found people picking a few tomatoes in my little garden and eating them with a satisfying smile．I never said a word．Instead，I felt joy in my heart．When harvest time came，I picked so many fresh cucumbers and delicious tomatoes．
In America，people grow gardens everywhere．The air is always fresh and clean because of many trees，different plants and beautiful flowers．People there learn to love our earth，and love hearing the expression "go hug a tree"．Gardening needs lots of hard work and patience，but mother earth rewards us a lot．

Each summer，you hear news that some sports players are sent to hospitals because it is too hot．Our bodies can't be outside in the sun for a long time．So in hot summers，be careful about playing sports outside．
Firstly，to play sports safely in hot weather，you must drink water．Sports drinks are great for athletes，but they have so much sugar that they'll dehydrate（使脱水）you more．However，drinking a few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you．
Secondly，be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest．If your coach doesn't let you take enough breaks in the heat，don't wait until you feel uncomfortable．Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks．
Thirdly，when you have a break，don't sit in the sun．With the sun beating down on you，you'll only heat up and sweat（冒汗）more．Take a seat under a tree，or even better，go indoors for a little while．Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer．
Fourthly，remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise，the cooler it will be．If you can start practice before the sun comes up，you have a few good hours to practise in the cool hours of the morning．Also，the earlier you practise，the earlier you can finish the exercise．If you need more practice time，come back to the field later in the evening，when the sun is setting．
Last but not least，you should watch what you eat．Eat food which is high in water，starch（淀粉）and carbonhydrate（糖类），but be sure to get a good balance in your diet．
As long as you pay attention to the above，playing sports safely in the heat isn't a difficult thing．
34．How many pieces of advice are mentioned in the passage？
A．Three
B．Four
C．Five
D．Six
35．From Paragraph 5 we know ．
A．we'd better start our exercise early
B．it is not wise to have practice after sunset
C．we have a long time to practise after sunrise
D．it doesn't matter whether you practise early or late
36．Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．Sports drinks are good for you with no harm．
B．You need to tell your coach when you feel tired．
C．Sitting under a tree is better than staying indoors．
D．Eating lots of sugar is necessary for sports safely．
37．The passage mainly tells us about ．
A．eating habits in hot summers

Every living thing on Earth is either a plant or an animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．
What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇） are both fungi．
What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．
Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．
Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．
23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？
A．strong
B．unpleasant

Living on an island might sound wonderful． But what if you left for a trip and found you could never return？ What if your home， and even the land it stood on， was gone forever？For people living in the Pacific Islands，this is really possible．
Why？ Climate（气候） change． Climate change is causing the sea to rise． That's bad news for the Pacific Islands． Young people on the islands are even starting to wonder：Will they be the last generation（一代人）？
Not if the islanders have anything to do about it．These people are deeply connected to their homelands． The Pacific Islands are made up of 11 different countries： the Marshall Islands， Fiji， Samoa，and others． But now， those countries are working together． They're joining forces to fight climate change．
Why is climate change such a huge threat to this part of the world？Islands have low elevations（海拔）．So they are among the first places influenced by rising sea levels． That's why countries of the Pacific Islands are working together to do their part．
But these are small countries． When it comes to climate change， can they make a big difference？ They can， because most of the things that people on islands buy are brought by ships．This is very harmful to the environment． After all， ships put out almost 3 percent of the world's carbon emissions（碳排放）．That makes climate change worse．
Pacific Islanders realize the problem． So， in 2019，six countries got together：Fiji，the Marshall Islands， Samoa，Vanuatu， the Solomon Islands， and Tuvalu． They came up with a plan． They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030．And by 2050，they expect zero﹣carbon shipping．
How will they pull this off？ They plan to use some really cool carbon﹣free technologies．They'll make use of solar and wind energy．
Sea levels are rising， but hopes aren't sinking in the Pacific Islands．
（1）What is the bad news for the Pacific Islands according to the passage？
A． Some Pacific Island countries have disappeared．
B． The sea level is going up because of climate change．
C． All the sipping to the Pacific Islands has been stopped．
D． The Pacific Islands have nothing to do about the climate change．

D． why Pacific Island countries put out so much of the world's carbon emissions
The story of… Storytelling Storytelling is the activity of telling or writing stories． Stories can be real or made up，can be long or short， and can be about any subject．People have always told stories to please each other or to tell people about their world． Oral history Because early people couldn't read or write， they passed on stories by telling them to each other．The storyteller often acted out bits of the history．People still tell stories in this way today． What is a story？ A story is a made﹣up description of imaginary or real events and people． The Chinese story of Pangu is an imaginary one． Animal stories Many stories feature animals as their main characters．These animals speak and dress like real people， although they often live in animal homes． Fairy tales A fairy tale is a story that includes magic and characters such as fairies， witches， goblins or giants．Fairy tales tell the story of good versus evil， and usually have a happy ending． Sleeping Beauty，Aladdin ，and The BOY Who Cried Wolf are all examples of fairy tales． |

How to Get Children to Stop Touching Their Faces
Kids seem like they're always touching everything in their environment， from tables and chairs to doors and stairs． Since those surfaces may hold germs（细菌），you can help your child avoid illness by encouraging them not to touch their face throughout the day．
（1） Once your child is about 3 years old， you can begin having conversations with them about avoiding germs， including the importance of washing their hands and how touching their face can spread germs to their nose and mouth． While just knowing this information probably won't help them break the habit， it can help set the groundwork．
（2） If you don't want to criticize（批评） your child when they forget， it is important to remind them when you see them with their hands around their face or mouth． Sometimes， just knowing that they 're doing it will be enough to help them stop doing it．
（3） It can be hard to remember sometimes， but look for chances to let your child know when they're doing a good job of keeping their hands away from their face． Encouraging words can be a really powerful motivation（动机） for kids to keep trying when they 're learning something new．
（4） Children often touch their faces or mouths without thinking about it． Many times， it's just because they're bored and they're looking for a way to excite themselves． If you think that might be the case， try giving your child a toy they can hold onto．
A． Point out any time you see your child touching their face． B． Encourage your child to wash their face carefully． C． Offer your child something they can hold． D． Explain why it's important if your child is old enough． E． Praise your child when they aren't touching their face． |

（1） Air Jordan（飞人乔丹） shoes are very popular and expensive． The first Air Jordan shoes were made in 1985． The next Air Jordan shoes came out in 1986． These shoes were special for basketball shoes， because they were made in Italy in 1990， which gave them a luxury （奢侈的） feel． Two years later， the third Air Jordan shoes were produced．
（2） If you want to make your shoes look new， first， get out a toothbrush and some cleaning oil． Second， spray （喷） the oil on the shoes． Third， wash the dirt off with the toothbrush repeatedly while you are scrubbing （擦）． Finally， scrub the shoes with a paper towel or clean cloth． If you did a good job，your shoes should look as nice as when you first got them．
（3） If you go to a dance party， you'll need to wear dress shoes． However， wearing dress shoes for a few minutes can be really painful． To solve the problem， you can bring a box of band﹣aids （创口贴） with you． When your feet hurt， put on those band﹣aids． The band﹣aids will create something that will reduce pain．
（4） When playing golf and bowling （保龄球）， people need to wear special shoes． Golf shoes have sharp metal spikes （鞋钉）， while bowling shoes have almost no spikes at all． Both these shoes help players perform． Besides looking silly， golf shoes and bowling shoes do not have soles （鞋底） that are fit for street use．
（5） Are you wearing shoes？ Why？ People wear shoes for many reasons． The first and most important reason is to protect their feet． Shoes keep people from hurting their feet while walking on hard roads． Some people wear special shoes designed to help them play a game．Some people wear expensive shoes to look fashionable．And a lot of other people wear shoes so that their feet won't stink（发臭）up the room．

Every night， just after the sun goes down． Ruth Medjber talks with her neighbours in Dublin， lreland， and takes a picture of them at their windows．
These photos， in some way． show people's lives during the global pandemic （大流行病）．
"I started out taking photos of just friends and family． In this way． I could connect with them during this special time when people have to stay at home．" the photographer explained． "I live alone， so I was missing the days when we were free to communicate with friends， Every evening， on my way to seeing friends， I had a sense of purpose．

"I pick a street each night and try to take photos of volunteers．" Ruth said． "I usually take about four photos before it is completely dark， but two if I'm talking a lot﹣which I love to do．"
She said more and more neighbours are joining in her photo project and i has now got a name， Love at Home．
"I think people like knowing that they ‘re not alone even if they have to stay at home， and they really try to pick out those who are similar to themselves in the photos，" she said． "lt's also a different view （视角） of the pandemic： the more human view．Instead of showing what the pandemic has taken from us，it shows that it has given Us more chances to be with family and friends and spend time together．

Is there a connection between music and language？According to recent studies，the answer is yes：Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain．
A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability． As a part of the study， two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room．The people in the first group were musicians， while those in the second group had no musical training．The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly．
Musicians hear better， says study leader Nina Kraus， because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds． For example， when the violinists play in an orchestra （管弦乐队），they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore （忽视） the other sounds． In this way， musicians can hear certain sounds better， even in a room with lots of noise．
Gottfried Schlaug，a doctor at Harvard Medical School，works with stroke （中风） patients．Because of their illness， these people cannot say their names，addresses， or other information normally．However， they can still sing． Dr． Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak． Why does this work？Schlaug isn't sure． Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active， including the bad parts． In some way， this helps patients use those parts of the brain again．
So music is not only enjoyable， but also good for us in many other ways． Playing an instrument or singing， says Nina Kraus， can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older．

Zack： Hey you guys， it would be a shame to stay inside on a day like this． How about taking the bus to Stanley and going to the beach？

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．

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．

Dear Sir/Madam，
①It is now common to go online in the home， yet a recent survey showed that ninety﹣five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit． I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children．
②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities． If they had a better understanding of the Internet， they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly．
③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork．These days， a lot of homework needs to be done on computers． If parents have poor computer skills， they will be of little or no help with homework， which can make them upset．Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers． However， it is clear that students， especially young students， often need this kind of home support．
④Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve their relationships with their children．These days，children spend a lot of their free time on computers．If parents want to be part of that free time，they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity．Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap（代沟） between them and their children．
⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way， and so training is extremely important．
Yours faithfully．
Pat Chan

How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park？ Well that's what's happening in my community． There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course（高尔夫球场）．Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea．
First， a park is meant to be for the whole community． Not everyone likes golf， so not everyone will get to use the park． This isn't fair． A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use．
Second， to make way for the golf course，lots of playground equipment（设施）will have to be moved or knocked down， which is a waste of time and money．It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment，The swings， for example， will probably just end up as litter．
Third， what about giving young people something to do？Not all kids are crazy about golf．At the moment， the park has a skating place and a playground． These attract lots of kids from the community． If you turn the park into a golf course， these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do．This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise． It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble．Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park？
Finally，golf is expensive．Building a golf course and maintaining（维护） it costs a lot of money．Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course？ What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club？That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money．
Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea．I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further．
（1）Some people want to change the park into ．
A． a golf club
B． a golf course
C． a parking place
