Round eyes, round head, round ears, round body! What is this lovely little animal? He looks like a bear. But he is not a bear. He’s a KOALA.
People in Australia love koalas and take care of them. They have set up places for them to live safely. No one can kill them for their pretty fur. When a koala is born, he has no fur. And he is not as big as your little toe！The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body. The baby goes into this warm pocket. There he stays for six months.
When the baby leaves the pocket, he has much fur. And he is about as big as your shoe. He climbs to his mother’s back. He rides there while she teaches him how to find food. Mrs. Koala is a loving mother. She takes good care of her baby. But when he is bad, she beats him! The baby cries just as a small child does. If he keeps on crying, his mother beats him again. When he stops crying, she takes him in her arms. And then they both go to sleep for a while.
The koala could not live without a special kind of tree. The tree gives him both his home and his food. For most of the day, the koala sleeps in the tree.
At night, the koala looks for food. He may go miles to find it. He likes only the bark (树皮) and the leaves of the tree. He eats nothing else. And he eats more than two pounds each night!
It’s a pity that thousands of koalas were killed by bush fires months ago in Australia. We should protect the environment and care more about wildlife, and then we will see the smiling faces of lovely koalas again,

【推荐1】As we all know, Cai Lun invented the quality (优质的) paper for writing and painting in the Eastern Han Dynasty. And this made it possible to develop paper cutting art in China.
Up to now, the earliest paper cutting works were found in an ancient tomb (坟墓) of the Northern Dynasties in Turpan of Xinjiang. Experts thought the people at that time had achieved a high artistic level in this art form, which means Chinese paper cutting has a history of at least 1,500 years. And it might even appear earlier before the Northern Dynasties.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Chinese paper cutting became more popular all over the country. We can find there were special poems describing paper cutting. At that time the skills and patterns of this art form were also widely used in different fields. For example, they used the same skills of paper cutting to process (加工) the gold or silver foil (箔) in order to decorate the back of bronze mirrors for ladies.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the folk art of paper cutting has reached its peak (顶峰), which could be widely seen in the life of average people at this time. All the flower decorations on the lanterns, the patterns on the fans and embroidery (刺绣) were all inspired by the art form of paper cutting. The average people also used the red-colored paper cutting to decorate their homes, hoping for the best luck of the family.

【推荐3】How many of you do household chores at home? It’s reported that few teenagers would like to spend time on them. In their opinion, it’s a complete waste of time. Some even think they should be taken good care of by their parents all the time. However, such life skills are really necessary.
On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education(MOE) produced a document(文件) for high schools. According to the document, labor education is listed as a compulsory(必修的) course for high school students. It would be as important as the foreign language or physics. And each of them takes six credits(学分). Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure students do 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.
A recent study shows that teenagers in China are doing very little housework. Primary and middle school students spend only 12 minutes a day on chores, compared to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
Parents think doing household chores would make students pay less attention to their school work. In fact, it is very helpful for teenagers. According to Northwest Educational Service, chores can not only teach teamwork and problem-solving skills but also give people a sense of pride. “Through such education, students are expected to develop working abilities as well as a better understanding of the world,” said Zheng Fuzhi, vice-minister of the MOE.

【推荐3】Read a lot, I mean a lot! You have to increase your ability for reading. Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum. But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.
You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things on politics.
Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER, tomorrow a LEADER!”
When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding. You also get experience from learning about how people dealt with their various problems thereby saving you from going through the pains and difficulties they must have gone through!
Reading will also help you in improving your vocabulary because you will certainly start coming across so many new words which you will try as much as possible to get accustomed to with the help of the dictionary! The good thing about increasing your vocabulary is that it will also improve your thinking ability.
After all, we think in words and the more words you know, the easier it will become for you to express yourself or your thoughts. And when you read, make sure you read so wide because the more you read, the more you know and the more you know the more intelligent you can become.

【推荐1】Water is important in our daily life. When you are thirsty, you might want to drink water. However, a new study has found that drinking water is not the best way to stay hydrated (补水的).
Water does a good job of hydrating the body quickly, according to British researchers. However, drinks with a little bit of sugar, fat or protein (蛋白质) can do a better job.
Why is that? The more you drink, the faster the drink leaves your stomach and goes into your bloodstream. There, it can dilute (稀释) the body's fluids (液体) and keep you hydrated. Milk, for example, has some sugar, protein and fat. These make fluids leave your stomach more slowly and keep you hydrated for a longer time.
However, drinks with more sugar, such as fruit juice or soda, are not more hydrating. When these drinks go into the small intestine (小肠), they take more water from the body into the small intestine to help deal with the sugar. This will make you feel even thirstier.
Which drinks hydrate us the most?
No. 1: Milk | It's more hydrating than water or other drinks. |
No. 2: Water and coffee | A cup of coffee is about as hydrating as a cup of water. However, drinking two to four cups of coffee will make you thirstier. You can put one or two spoonfuls of milk in your coffee to keep you hydrated. |
No. 3 Fruit, Juice and soda | If you have to choose between these drinks and water, always go with water. |
1. Which of these drinks can hydrate you the most?
| A．Milk. | B．Water. | C．Soda. | D．Fruit juice. |
| A．Because these drinks can't go into your bloodstream. |
| B．Because these drinks leave the stomach quickly. |
| C．Because it takes more water to deal with the sugar. |
| D．Because the small intestine can't dilute these fluids. |
a. Water goes into the bloodstream.
b. Water enters your stomach.
c. They body is hydrated.
d. Water leaves the stomach.
e. The body's fluids get more water.
