Hi, my name’s Christine and I’m from London. Now I’m in Brasilia. I work with animals.
I work in the evening and at night and I sleep in the day! I get up at about 4:00 p. m. And at 4:15 p. m. I have breakfast. Sometimes I have some bread and milk, and sometimes I have some noodles. At 5:30 p. m. I go into the forest(森林) and look for birds.
I write their names in my notebook. I don’t talk because I don’t want the birds to hear me. At 9:30 p. m. I have lunch. I often have hamburgers. Sometimes I have bread or rice.

【推荐2】Now, almost everyone has a job. Some work in factories, and others work in other places like schools and so on. It’s common for people to change their jobs and choose another one. But with more and more people looking for jobs, we wonder what jobs in the future will be like?
In the future, people will have to learn more skills (技能) and later be able to sell their skills or service to many different factories. They won’t work for only one for many years. With the Internet, more people will work at home. They will also work with people they never meet in person. Every day, they do their work on computers and then communicate (交流) with each other on computers, too. And there will be many other changes we cannot think about now. All of these changes (改变) mean that there will be more competition from people all over the world for tomorrow’s jobs.
So are you ready for the future jobs? What skills will they ask for? What skills will students need for success in the future?
Some skills will always be important. For example, you need to learn how to clearly communicate with others and show your ideas. At the same time, you also need to plan well and make good decisions quickly. And, as there will always be many problems, being able to solve them is a key to being successful.
As the world changes so fast, it’s important to keep learning new things.

【推荐1】I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I learned to wear reins (缰绳) and a bit in my mouth. I did not like them but all the horses had to wear them.
My master had two horses. One of them was Ginger. She was not friendly. She bit and kicked people.
Ginger and I pulled a coach together. The coachman’s name was John. Ginger and I worked very hard. We became friends.
Ginger told me about her life when she was young. She told me, “My master was not kind to me. My reins and bit hurt me. My master did not care.”
Squire Gordon and his men felt sorry for Ginger. They were always kind to her. She stopped biting and kicking people. She became a happy horse.
One day in autumn Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the coach. The weather was rainy and windy. Mr. Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a bridge. I stopped. “Something is wrong,” I thought. I did not want to go on to the bridge. Mr. Gordon and John wanted me to go on to the bridge. I did not move. Just then a man saw us. “Stop!” he cried.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, If you go on to it, you are all going to in the river.”
“Thank God!” said the Squire.
Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
When we returned home, Squire Gordon told his wife, “We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty.”
That night, I was glad though I was very tired.

【推荐2】Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure (探险) in South America, covering 7, 800 miles. He was even named “Adventurer of the Year” by a famous geography magazine in 2018.
Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel satisfied. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?”
Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from the places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach — Only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it.
Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant living on Mountain Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists learn how plants live in extreme (极端的) conditions.
________ “Such adventures had made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is doing something helpful when climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do,” Jerry said to a newspaper.
