We wash vegetables before cooking them. And we wash our hands before we start eating. That is because we know washing can clean our food and keep diseases(疾病) away. But, do you see cows, dogs or cats wash their food? No, they don’t.
But there is one kind of animal called raccoons（浣熊）. I think they’re interesting. They like to wash their food before eating. And raccoons don’t eat any food if they can’t find water around. Even if they eat, they don’t look happy about it. We don't know why they wash the food. It is not because they like clean things. Because they also wash the food in the dirty(脏的) water!
In fact, they find most of their food in the dirty water. They are very lazy. They usually sleep all day. They live in places where there is water and trees. Usually, they build home in the trees.
They are gray or brown in colour. They have big ears and small eyes. They are good looking. So I think they look very lovely.

【推荐1】You cannot see them, but there’re small living things every place you look. They are on the food you eat. They are on the book you are holding now. They are inside and outside your body. You will find them in oceans, lakes, ponds, and rivers.
What are these small things? They are microorganisms (微生物). Microorganisms are living things too small to be seen with just our eyes. Many microorganisms are made of only one cell (细胞). Cells are the smallest units of life. Plants and animals are made of many cells.
Most microorganisms can be seen through a tool called a microscope. A microscope shows an enlarged view of an object. Many classroom microscopes make objects 30 to 60 times bigger than their normal size.
Bacteria
There are many kinds of microorganisms. One of the smallest is called bacteria. Bacteria can be both helpful and harmful to human life. Harmful bacteria can cause illness. Helpful bacteria help humans swallow and digest (消化) food. They can even help to fight illness.
Protists
Protists are another group of microorganisms. Like bacteria, some protists can be helpful or harmful. Some protists eat bacteria. This helps to keep harmful bacteria under control. Other protists cause diseases. Many harmful protists are found in ponds and lakes.
How do protists compare to bacteria? They are much bigger than bacteria. They also have structures that do special jobs. They have parts for making and using food. They even have parts for making new protists.

【推荐3】Looking at screens at night can cause us to sleep poorly. In the evening, our bodies make melatonin（褪黑素）. Melatonin makes us feel sleepy and relaxed. It’s an important part of our sleep cycle. Our electronic screens prevent that cycle from working in a normal way. Phones, computers and TVs make blue light.
Having your phone right by your bedside can make it easier to play with before bed or when awakened at night. Keeping electronic devices out of the bedroom is one way to avoid the harmful effects that blue light has on sleep.
Many people depend on their phones to set an alarm for the morning. However, this can also lead to habitual（习惯性的）nighttime playing. Consider buying an alarm clock instead.
Reading a book, drinking tea, and taking a warm bath are ways to relax without electronic devices. Relaxing before bed without screens can help prepare your body and mind for rest.
Avoiding technology entirely before bed may not be practical for everyone. If you cannot entirely avoid screens before bed, blue-light filtering（防蓝光）glasses can be helpful.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。
| A．Using an Alarm Clock. |
| B．Joining in a Relaxing Activity. |
| C．Using Blue-Light Filtering Glasses. |

【推荐2】Look at your Chinese lunar calendar（农历）, and you can find many solar terms on it, such as jingzhe or mangzhong. They are also called jieqi in Chinese.
About 2,000 years ago, Chinese people studied natural changes such as temperature（温度）, water and crop growth. They then made 24 solar terms to show the changes in season and weather.
For example, they named the day with the year’s longest daytime as xiazhi. The shortest one is called dongzhi. It is usually snowy around xiaoxue every year. And dahan is the coldest day of the year.
Also, the solar terms help farmers make plans. They are going to sow seeds （播种） when lichun comes. When mangzhong comes, wheat is ripe（成熟的）. The harvest time is coming!
Today, the solar terms are still used by Chinese people and they are helpful to our daily life. Did your mom ever tell you “don’t show your feet after hanlu”? You’d better listen to her, because hanlu means the beginning of cold days.
1. Why did Chinese people make 24 solar terms?| A．To make the Chinese calendar change. | B．To show the changes in season and weather. |
| C．To change the weather in the past. | D．To name the days in the past. |

We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity (引力) millions of years earlier.
In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
However, in the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.
1. From the passage we know the moon was made of
| A．earth | B．rocks | C．water | D．metal |

| C．Where the moon came from in the past. |
| D．That people have finally learned the truth about the moon. |
| A．part of the earth billions of years earlier |
| B．older than the earth |
| C．a planet caught by the earth’s gravity |
| D．made of the same things as the earth |
| A．scientists in the past were not clever |

Thank you for inviting me to stay in your home. I had a great time with you and your family. I really like your beautiful house, your smart dog and your great dinner and desserts. It was my first time in another country, so I was a little nervous. However, all your family members were very nice to me. When I had problems in school, you gave me advice and it made me feel better.
I came back to China safely. I will never forget the time we spent together. I learned a lot about Vancouver because you took me to many places and my English improved a little, too. Vancouver is a very good place, so I want to go there again when my English is better. Please come to China someday if you are free.
Yours,Ann
