【推荐2】April 22nd every year marks the beginning of Earth Day, started in the year 1970, it is now celebrated in more than 190 countries each year. Every year, the event is celebrated under a different theme. The theme for 2022 is “Invest（投资）In Our Planet”.
However, Earth Day is not just an event to be celebrated on one specific day. It is primarily a reminder for all to do our rightful duty every day to save our planet. Below, we have made a list of four things you can do to celebrate Earth Day （apart from planting trees）.
Leave your cars at home. Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. Ride a bike or walk if your workplace is not that far away from your home.
Be a little dirty. We don’t mean it “that” way. We simply mean to say, don’t take a bath. A day or two without a bath won’t harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet. A daily shower isn’t a matter of health; it’s a matter of comfort.
Volunteer yourself. This is one of the best things you can do. It will do you good too. Join other like-minded individuals in a common task, such as planting trees, cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can protect mother Earth.
Green-up your home. This is one of the most common things that people do, that is, turn off your lights. However, this is not something you should do just for a day and for only an hour. Turn off all power electricity points whenever they are not in use.
You know what the best way to celebrate Earth Day is? Extend（扩展）your celebrations. That’s right! Do something every day that will improve your surroundings（周围环境）to make the planet a better place to live in. Always remember that every step, every action counts.

【推荐3】A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room（手术室）. In the room a patient with cancer（癌症）, lies on a table. The cloud is all around the patient, covering her body and filling her lungs（肺）. The cloud is not smoke. It is made of millions of nanorobots（纳米机器人）. These tiny robots move from cell（细胞） to cell in the patient’s body, killing the cancer.
Fighting cancer with nanorobots is only an idea today, but scientists say that it could be feasible in the future. Using nanorobots for good purposes such as fighting the illness may be the way to many of today’s problems.
However, nanorobots could be a dangerous risk as well. Because nanorobots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nanorobots will have to be programmed to build themselves. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nanorobots one by one.
This ability to reproduce is making some scientists worried. What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nanorobots would be far worse than any illness. Some people think that if they get out of control, nanorobots could make the earth gone.
What should be done? Should we continue researching nanorobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.
1. The cloud is ________ in the passage.| A．smoke in the air | B．millions of nanorobots |

【推荐2】Even in early times, people could know the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life.
Every great achievement (成就) has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds on to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).
Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We shouldn’t laugh at them for beingnaive. With their rich imagination (想象力), they will come up with fantastic dreams. History is full of examples. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.
Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamed big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.
Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.
To dream is a wonderful ability which can bring wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

【推荐1】One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.
Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
Afternoon tea
People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals eachday-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o"clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.
Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continueto play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words "Will you come for coffee?" to mean "Would you like to come to my homefor a chat?" Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a "coffee" party.
Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places.

Mary and I
Hello! My name is Sara and I’m thirteen years old. I’m from Spain. My best friend is Mary. She is from Poland and one year older than me. She came to Spain with her family five years ago.

Mary is tall and beautiful. She has long curly brown hair and brown eyes. We are in the same school and she lives not far from my home. We often go home together. After school we also spend some time together. Because I’m better at math and science and she is better at history and geography, we can always help each other with our homework.

My friend is not very sporty. She doesn’t like team games (团队运动）but she likes swimming. I like sports and we go swimming together every Saturday morning. She’s a little shy with new people but with me she's friendly! I like her and she always brings out the best in me. I really hope we can be best friends for life!

【推荐3】Money is what people use to buy things they need or want. A long time ago, people didn’t use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story about this.
At first, they would exchange something they had for what they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called “bartering”(易货). Bartering worked fine for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to this problem was money.
There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle(牛), salt, grain and shells(贝壳). But it was not easy to move them to far-away places or store them. So coins began to take the place of things.
Coins had a fixed(固定的) value and could be stored. It became possible for people to trade in a standardized(标准的) way. Different coins are worth different amounts. Metal money was used in China as early as 1000 BC.
About three hundred years ago, paper money came into wider use. Paper money is cheaper to make than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use paper money and coins in most countries.
Cash(现金) has been the most popular form of money. But these days, it seems that things have changed. Cashless payment has come into our lives and changed our world. China was the first country in the world to use paper money. Now, centuries later, it may become the first cashless society soon. Cashless payment apps such as Alipay(支付宝) and WeChat Pay are becoming more common in China. The buyer just scans the QR code (扫描二维码) of the seller, or the other way around. No real money is needed at all. Is tomorrow already there?
