【推荐1】Many people dream of going on a great travel. Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen.
Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom (底部). He got the idea after he finished a 1,600-kilometer bike ride. Gregg’s friend Brooks Allen was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and made a plan: They would travel from Alaska (阿拉斯加) to Argentina (阿根廷) by bike.
To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. In 2005, after four years of planning, they set off. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels (青年旅社). In many places, local (当地的) people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.
In May 2007-two years, 12 countries, and over 30,500 km later-Gregg finally reached Argentina, at the southern tip of South America. Halfway through the trip, Brooks had to stop. He returned to the United States and Gregg continued (继续) without him.

【推荐3】Of course you don’t want to be sick in your vacation. So what can you do while traveling? There are three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well.
A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit: shops, parks and temples. You may spend most of the days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. A weak body gets dicky easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench.
Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference.
Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, milk and cheese.
So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food.

【推荐1】What does respect really mean? You show respect when you treat someone or something with care and give priority to(优先考虑)not hurting somebody.
Respecting other people
The best way to respect others is to understand how you would like to be treated. If someone has different ideas from you, you want to show them that you find their differences valuable. It would not be a good world to live in if we were all the same.
Also, listen to others’ opinions without interrupting(打断), and don’t laugh at people or hurt their feelings. Use good manners when someone is speaking to or serving you. Saying “please” or “thank you” is a useful way that you can be respectful to others.
Respecting the environment
We only have one planet, so we have to take care of it. Remember, respect is not harming other people or things. So throw away trash where it belongs, not on the ground. Recycle so that there isn’t so much trash to be collected. Turn off lights when you are not using them, so energy is not wasted. Treating our Earth with care is a great way to show respect.
Respecting yourself
It means giving yourself worth and value as a human being. If you do not respect yourself, it will be more difficult for you to respect anyone else. You must be honest with yourself and with others. Knowing and exercising good manners and proper conduct(行为)will make you feel good about yourself, and others will respect you in return.
In other words, in order to respect and be respected, we should always put ourselves in others’ shoes. Let us offer each other the respect we all should receive.
1. According to the passage, what is respect?A.Leaving trash on the ground. | B.Leaving the lights on. |

【推荐2】Electronic waste (电子垃圾), also known as “E-waste”, is used to describe the waste from useless electronics such as computers, phones, fridges, washing machines, TVs and so on. Most of these electronics are not often rubbish, but just given up. In 2019, the world produced 53.6 million tons of e-waste, and the world’s e-waste will reach 74.7 million tons by 2030.
Last week, Guangming Research Center made surveys among 1,00 residents (居民) in Xingfu community. The surveys were mainly about different kinds of e-waste and how the residents deal with e-waste. The diagrams below show the results.
Diagram I Different kinds of e-waste that the residents produce each year
Diagram II How the residents deal with e-waste
E-waste is the world’s fastest-growing kind of waste, and only a small part of it is collected and recycled. Some residents think they should recycle e-waste, because e-waste includes many valuable metals, such as gold, silver and so on. They say they try to repair some electronics rather than buy new ones. They also give away their electronics which they don’t like any more to people in need.

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,’’ she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, ‘‘That’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, anditcan take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
