【推荐2】It is true that summer is hot. But here is something to make your day easier. Are you prepared? Meet the new AirFreez— an alternative to traditional Air Conditioners that cools you just the same!
How does it work?
It is surprisingly easy to set up! You just need to plug it into a socket（插座）OR any USB port （it uses so little energy that it can even run off of a phone or laptop battery）.
Once you have done that, simply fill it with 20oz/0. 6L of cold tap water.
Now just press the power button and the instant cool air is here!
What is so special about this little box?
It is no larger than a lunchbox. It can be powered by a pocket solar panel（电池板）or battery pack and you probably have the world's first and most portable AC unit.
Bad sleepers are putting the AirFreez next to their beds at night. The relaxing blow of cool, clean air, the comforting soft night light and the quiet create the perfect sleeping conditions!
The price is just amazing. Most AC units cost at least $ 300+ AND you have to pay more to cover the expensive electricity bills each month. AirFreez costs less than $ 100 （actually $ 53 if you buy more than one here）.
Top Tips：
●To make your air even cooler—add a bottle of cold tap water from your refrigerator or even ice!
●For a beautiful relaxing atmosphere—add a few drops of fragrant oils to the water!
1. Which is necessary to get AirFreez to work?| A．A socket. | B．A phone battery. |

It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos.

The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong.The Sympathizeris the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping（扣人心弦的） spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story,The Sympathizerexplores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.

【推荐1】It has become one of the most moving pictures of the 2017 London Marathon： Matthew Rees stopping 300 metres short of the finish line to help DavidWyeth， a stranger on the verge of collapse， finish the race． "I was just about to sprint （冲刺） to the finish when I saw David，" Rees tells me． "His legs were completely jelly-like and he collapsed （崩溃） in front of me． So I decided to forget my race． He had come so far and after 26 miles of running I wanted him to make the finish．"

Rees only started running two years ago． "I wanted to get a bit fitter，" he says， "and more importantly， it was for mental health reasons． I was suffering from anxiety and running really helps with that． It's changed my life．"
The video of the two men crossing the finish line arm in arm immediately was viewed widely， though Rees failed to finish under two hours， 50 minutes， his goal for the race． Rees， with his modesty（谦逊）， tells me that such acts of kindness happen frequently in the running community and it just so happened that his sportsmanship was caught on camera．
