I loved everything about school except for one person：Mildred．

Every day，as we walked home after school，she would step on the backs of my shoes．Then，when I stopped to put my shoes on，Mildred would hit me on the back quickly and run away．She scared（惊吓）me．

Soon，my mother found something was wrong．I told her the whole story．My mum told me not to worry and said she had a plan．

The next morning，my mum walked up the hill with me．Just as we got to the top of the hill，we saw Mildred．

"Hello，Mildred，"my mum said quietly．Mildred stopped，standing still． Her hands and face were bright red．Her oversized coat hung open．There were only two buttons（纽扣）on it．

My mother didn't say anything at first．Instead，she buttoned up Mildred's coat and turned the collar（衣领）up around her neck．

"I'm Amy's mother．I need your help，Mildred．"My mother's hands held Mildred's as she spoke．"Amy doesn't have any brothers or sisters．She needs a good friend at school，someone to walk up the hill with her after classes are over．Would you be Amy's friend，Mildred？"

Mildred chewed（咬住）on her bottom lip（嘴唇）and nodded．"Oh，thank you！"my mother said．"I just know you are someone I can depend on．"Then she hugged us and left as though nothing unusual had happened．

Mildred and I walked on to school．As I looked over at her，I saw that Mildred was smiling！I'd never seen her smile before．

We walked up the hill each day after school together and pretty soon we became good friends．

I didn't understand my mum's plan at that time．But finally，I came to understand her message：Love never fails．

In the early 1900s, people in England often traveled by steam train. On the trains, there were many compartments（ 隔间 ）. About six people could sit in one compartment.

At last, the young man got out at a station with his two heavy bags. None of the other passengers helped him.

But one of them watched the rude young man and waited until he was very far away. Then, the man on the train opened the window and shouted to the rude young man: “Hey, you left something behind in the compartment!” Then he closed the window.

The young man turned around and hurried back with his two heavy bags. He was very tired when he arrived, with his mouth open and panting. He shouted through the window, “What did I leave behind? Give it to me!”

As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness（晕动症）.     1     People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are taking a bus, a train or a ship.     2     Some people even throw up（呕吐）. It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when the senses become unclear.

    3     Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears（内耳）contain a special liquid（液体）that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles（肌肉）are able to make reflection to movement.

When you move around, these body parts work well together.     4     Your inner ear send signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can't see that you’re moving. This leads to motion sickness.

But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes（基因）that prevent them from motion sickness.

Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply get used to it.     5     After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore.

A．We use different parts of our body to sense movement.

B．It is also called travel sickness.

C．But when you are in a car or an airplane, your body parts get confused.

D．Here are some ways for people to solve motion sickness.

E．For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild（轻微的）motion sickness.

F．They feel sick and dizzy（眩晕的）, like the room around them won't stop spinning（旋转）.

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so lazy that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers in the Britain’s largest health center. The results were very surprising.
About one in six people who were asked said if their control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those asked said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of 654 respondents (离婚被告) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
We know that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are very fat before they start school.
Dr Sarah, Dauncey, medical director of the center, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own health, but for their families, friends and pets, too.”
“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks.”
And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% asked thinking they do not get enough exercise, followed by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
So there are some problems for the National Health Service, where fatness-related (相关的) illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on an increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

【推荐1】A photo of a boy who arrived at school with a head full of icicles(冰柱) has drawn widespread attention to children from poor rural families.

Wearing only a thin jacket, Wang Fuman, 10, had braved -9℃ weather to travel over an hour from his village home to reach Zhuanshanbao Primary School in Zhaotong, Yunnan province. "After walking more than 4 kilometers through the freezing snow, he arrived with his hair and eyebrows completely frozen, causing laughter among his 16 classmates," said Fu Heng, the school's principal, who uploaded(上传) Wang's photos on Monday morning. Fu added that his classrooms do not have heating because of a lack of money.

After hearing Wang's story, the Yunnan China Youth Development Foundation offered a public donation(捐赠) for children from poor families on Tuesday.

The name Fuman translates as "full of happiness", but Wang does not come from a rich family.

He lives in a mud hut(土坯房) with his grandmother and elder sister, and seldom sees his parents because they are migrant workers in other cities.

"I love school. We can have bread and milk for lunch, and we learn lots of things in class," Wang said. His village now has electricity and tap water. "And my family is getting help to build a new house close to the school," he said. "I think our life will get better."

【推荐3】SHENZHEN political adviser Chen Zhihong has proposed（提议）building Shekou Fisherman’s Wharf（码头）in Shekou, Nanshan District into a tourist site at the Second Session of the Seventh Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the CPPCC（深圳市政协第七届二次会议）, Shenzhen Economic Daily reported.

The renovation（翻新）of the Fisherman’s Wharf started in April 2018, in order to turn the wharf into an entertainment, a cultural exchange, education, tourism and housing complex（综合体）.

However, many old and damaged boats are still docked（停靠）at the wharf due to historical reasons. These don’t match the surrounding environment and might cause a fire risk or pollute the waters.

Chen thus called for applying first-class standards to build the wharf into an international coastal tourism destination. At the same time, the construction can contribute to Nanshan District’s move to build the area into an innovative（创新的）coastal city center, according to Chen.

Additionally, Chen advised tourist viewing platforms to be added at the wharf and urged related departments to learn about the number and types of boats, and reasons for currently docking at the wharf.

Chen also proposed no longer following commercial ships to dock at the wharf unless they are sheltering from a typhoon. He suggested the berthing sites（靠泊点）be moved to Humen in Dongguan City, Aotou in Huizhou City and Fuyong in Bao’an District because the wharf’s water has poor self-purification capabilities.

1. When did the renovation of the wharf begin? ________

A．Last year.

B．Two years ago.

C．Three years ago.

D．Four years ago.

2. What problems are caused by the boats docking at the wharf? ________

【推荐2】On the first evening, the three of us were tired after walking for about eight hours. We soon fell asleep. In the morning, I was surprised to find the bag of food had been open.
“Bears,” said Joe, “we should hang the food in a tree tonight.”
Later that day we stopped in a beautiful field by a river. We put up the tent and fell asleep. During the night the bears came again. This time they took the food from the tree.
“Bears can climb trees. They can smell food from a long way away,” said Ben.
“We must keep the camp clean. Bears must think our rubbish is food,” I said. “And we should make lots of noise, too. If they know where we are, they may not come any closer,” said Joe.
“But if you see a bear,” said Ben, “you mustn't make any sudden moves or make a sound, and you mustn’t run either. No one can run faster in the forest than a bear. And remember we don’t have a gun to keep us safe.” That night, we went to sleep ... or we tried to.
The next day, while the others were resting, I went for a walk in the forest. Suddenly, I saw a baby bear playing with some sticks and stones. He looked so soft and friendly, and I thought, “If I reach out, I can just touch him.”
There was a loud noise behind me.
I didn’t dare to move, not even turn my head. There was another loud noise. The baby bear looked up, and ran towards me. I turned pale and he ran past me into the woods.
I couldn’t turn round until a few minutes later. Then I saw the baby bear and his huge mother walking away.

【推荐3】Do you know any 9-year-olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the "Roosevelt Museum of Natural History". The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens. On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some bird's nests. Young Roosevelt was proud of his small museum.

Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. "I was a sickly, delicate boy", he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma. He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he observed nature and then read and wrote about it.

Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She demanded that the mice be thrown out. This was indeed "a loss to science", Roosevelt once said.

Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and frail. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly, but he did decide to face the challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And eventually his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures, and he loved outdoors.

In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President. The next year, President McKinley, was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26^th President. At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.
