Trees are useful to man in three very important ways. The first important way is that they provide (提供) man with food, wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees, many animals could not live on the earth. It’s not easy for man to live on the earth, either.
The second important way is that trees give us shade. On a hot summer day, people long to have a rest in the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine (想象) how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.
The third important way is that trees help to stop drought (干旱) and floods (洪水). However, in many parts of the world, man has not known the third important way. He has cut trees down in large numbers. In the end, he finds that he has lost his best friends.

How do we know about things that happened thousands of years ago when there were no videos or photos? One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese civilization (文明) are known as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文).
More than 3, 000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty (about 16th—11th century BC) liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week? Where should I go to make money? Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? From work to love, people asked questions about many topics. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer.
Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. “They help us understand the origins of Chinese philosophy (哲学) and thought, and figure out where our culture comes from,” Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily.
In addition to (除了) telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. Many of the characters (汉字) we use today are similar to those used 3, 000 years ago. “The oräcte bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known mature (成熟的) form of Chinese characters, represent the beauty and uniqueness (唯一) of a language that has been passed down,” said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University.
In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register (“世界记忆”名录). They are indeed a valuable memory of ancient China.

【推荐2】Scientists doubt (怀疑) whether (是否) cell phones use can be not good for the brain and health. But they think they have some good tips for helping cut the amount of radiation (辐射) people get.
Placing cell phones
Do not carry your cell phone around near you. Before you sleep, place your cell phone at a distance from your body—don’t put it under your pillow (枕头)and don’t put it on a bedside table.
Talking on cell phones
When you’re on the phone, use the speaker function (免提功能). In this way, you have just one percent of the radiation you get when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea. Try to keep your talks short. Don’t use your cell phones for longer calls. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone. Change ears when you are using your cell phone. Before putting your cell phone to your ear, wait until the person picks up.
Meeting something that is unusual
Last, do not use your cell phone when the signal (信号) is weak or when moving at a high speed, for example in a car or train. At high speeds, your cell phone is trying to pick up signals and you will get more radiation.
In a word, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible when using your cell phone.

Do you think getting cold can give you a cold? Is it bad to drink milk when you have a cold?
Ranit Mishori, a family medicine doctor in Washington, says colds are more common in winter, but not because of low temperatures. The cold weather just means people stay inside more. People like staying together and may get the common cold virus if they shake hands, sneeze or cough near one another.
Adults generally get two to three colds a year. Children are likely to catch four or five. Dr. Mishori says some people wrongly believe they can become protected from colds for the rest of their life once they get the virus one time.
There is still no cure for the common cold. But Dr. Mishori says there are ways to feel better sooner.
If you get a cold, you start taking about two grams of Vitamin C a day. There is evidence that it might shorten the number of days that you will be having the cold. Dr. Mishori says honey, bears’ favourite food, seems especially helpful to children with colds.
Have you ever heard the old saying “feed a cold, starve a fever”? Dr. Mishori says this is not necessarily a good rule to follow. She says if you have a cold but do not feel hungry, then don’t eat.
According to Dr. Mishori, you have to drink a lot. You can drink water or you can drink tea—anything that gets into your body. That’s very important.
But what about drinking milk during a cold? Mishori says, “Drinking milk during a cold possibly does make you uncomfortable. But clearly if you have a baby and that’s all it drinks, you should not stop giving the baby milk.”

Every year, wildfires destroy (毁坏) much forest land. Homes are broken down, and thousands of people die. Smoke jumpers are helping to stop this.
A smoke jumper is a special kind of firefighter. They jump from airplanes into areas that difficult to reach by car or on foot. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, smoke jumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop fire from spreading. They clear land of burnable material (可燃物) like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but not much.
The work is dangerous but makes their lives valuable. For these firefighters, smoke jumpers isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smoke jumpers Alexi Tishin says, “This is the best job for the strong and brave.”

Dear Jim,
How’s it going in Thailand? I’m having a good time in China. I am in the sports club at school this year. We’re taking classes to learn the lion dance.
The lion dance has a history of over 2,000 years. People in China usually perform(表演) the lion dance during the Spring Festival. They think the lion dance can drive away(赶走) bad luck and bring good luck for the new year.
There are usually two people in the dance: one is the head and the other is the tail(尾巴). It takes a lot of practice to work as a team and learn the steps(步伐)! I’m learning to dance as the head. It’s not easy for me to remember all of the steps. But I enjoy the lion dance and I’m trying my best.
Next month, we will perform at our school art festival. It’s really great, right?
Yours,
Sarah

Nature is the most creative artist. Daocheng Yading is such a place in which nature has put a lot of work. It is a magical land in the southwest of Sichuan Province. It is well known as the last pure (纯净的) land on the blue planet.
Daocheng Yading is a kingdom of beauty, and even the best painter can’t draw it well. Tall mountains stand in the snow, clear lakes shine in the sun, animals walk freely in the large pastures (牧场), and trees sway (摇摆) in the wind in the forest. Everything is beautiful in its own way, and at the same time they build a wonderful picture together.
There are three famous snow mountains standing in Daocheng Yading, protecting the people around them. Yangmaiyong is the greatest one. It is about 6,000 meters in height and has the shape of a perfect pyramid (金字塔). Back in 1928, an American named Joseph Rock first took photos of it and introduced it to the world, “She is the most beautiful snow mountain I have ever seen,” he wrote. Next to it, stand two other great mountains: Xiannairi and Xianuoduoji. For most visitors, their beauty is beyond (超出) words.
Local people say that if one can walk around these great mountains three times, his wishes will come true. It is a big challenge to do so, but many visitors like to give it a try. Why? They may tell you the reason: Life naturally gets better when you walk on such a pure land!
1. Where is Daocheng Yading?2. How high is Yangmaiyong?
3. Who first introduced Yangmaiyong to the world?
4. Are Xiannairi and Xianuoduoji beautiful for most visitors?

The world is always full of surprising things. Everyone expects to see the beautiful eye-pleasing flowers and plants. It is reported that there are about 390,900 plants in the world. The following may not be so eye-pleasing, but are certainly eye-catching.
Baseball Plant
This ball-shaped plant used to be only found in South Africa. It is thought to be endangered(濒临灭绝的)in the natural environment in which it lives, yet it’s commonly planted around the world. Luckily, some special gardens have started to grow this plant to make sure that it no longer needs to be got from the wild so that it does not die out.
African Starfish Flower
Don’t fall for its beautiful flowers. It smells like bad meat, and its colors and hairs really look like those from a dead animal. This works wonders for attracting insects, even from a great distance. This is also a plant in danger as the result of less and less living space. This has been a problem for collectors hoping to have the plant at their home, as well as the Zulus, a group of people in Africa who use the plant as medicine.
Bat Flower
The black bat flower is an unusual flower that grows in the wild of Yunnan Province in China. It needs a special environment to grow. This is the reason why it is an endangered plant. As a result, the bat flower attracts a lot of attention from collectors and gardeners. It is famous for its bat-shaped black flowers. Its leaves look like the wings of a bat. There’s no question how the plant got its name.
Venus Flytrap
Venus flytrap can be easily found in many places. It lives mainly on meat. It survives like other plants by getting energy from gases in the air and the soil. However, it also eats insects. It opens its mouth wide and the hairs inside try to attract any insect that might land. As soon as it senses an insect, it shuts the mouth and begins to enjoy the food.
Plants take in CO₂ from the air and make oxygen. They help keep soil in their place. Many of them are commonly used for making our environment look better, and some of them are also used as medicine, food and so on. You are lucky if you see one of the plants mentioned above.
