These days, Jackson Tumbull, a student in Grade 7 at Lakeview Junior High School in Pickerington, US, says that he needs help because he can’t listen to the teachers carefully in class. And his classmate McKenna Burchett says he feels sad and he also needs help.
In their school, there is a room called SMART lab(实验室). It helps students have less stress (压力). “Everything around our kids will impact them, so sometimes they may feel good, but sometimes they may feel not so good, ”a school teacher said. “And in our SMART lab, these students can find a time to take a break, relax or have fun.”
In the lab, students usually spend about 20 minutes. And they can talk to friends or teachers, draw, listen to music and play games. All these things can help them have less stress and sadness. So they will be more focused and listen more carefully in class.
This year, the lab helps 383 students at the school out of its 1, 000 students. “There is always a place for us to go to and there we can find someone to talk with, ” one student said. “If you are afraid to talk to someone about how you feel, just go into the lab and speak to yourself.”

【推荐1】UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, "Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy（傻子）". Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at us.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia（新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP）in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host（中间宿主）. It's believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization Eco Health Alliance, said, "This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale（规模）, human population density（密度）, wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics（流行病）."
In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe（敬畏）. For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.
However, as human beings master more knowledge and smarter tools, people try to change and even control nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify（改变）plants, catch some wild animals to suit their own needs. Humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the air and it contributes to global warming.
Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to "reflect on our relationship with our planet" and "reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given". After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, "Nature is not the place to-visit. It's our home."

| A．Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals. | B．It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally. |
| C．We should stop the wildlife trade around the world. | D．Humans should live peacefully with nature. |
| A．How human beings become their own masters. | B．How human activities cause global warming. |
| C．How human beings break the balance of nature. | D．How humans use technology to improve their lives. |
| A．To reflect on the NCP outbreak. |

The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaignhas got more and more popular during the past year all over China. It calls on people to reduce food waste.
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous（大方的）. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker (贴花). People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.x k b 1 . c o m

“ I checked my e-mail almost forty times a day.”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction* called Internet addiction. According to experts, Internet addicts* spend at least thirty hours online every week. They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried and looked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him. They called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet---for seven days straight.
A study shows that about seven to ten percent of Internet users become addicted. The teenagers spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people.
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms*.
★ You go out with your friends less and less.
★ You’ve decided to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
★ You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
What is the situation? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for internet use. You have to learn to control it, or the Internet would control you.

I think it is good for teachers to use WeChat in class. When they ask a question, everyone is happy to answer it on WeChat. They don’t have to put up their hands, but just type a few words instead. And the emojis are fun to use.
Cao Yue, 14, Jiangsu:
Using WeChat in class is good for shy students. They don’t like to speak in class. But on WeChat, they can share their ideas freely. It helps students to be more active when taking part in class activities. I think it is good to use WeChat in class.

【推荐1】①Pandas not only are a national treasure, but also have played an important role in China’s diplomacy (外交). The practice of “panda diplomacy” dates back to Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to Japanese king to express China’s friendship with Japan.
②China restarted panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries and truly helped to improve the understanding between different countries. However, most of them can’t survive (存活) and they died. So China stopped giving away pandas to other countries in the 1980s. Instead, the pandas are lent to other countries. They are to be returned to China after 10 years.
③________ According to Xinhua, their eating habit is the main reason of their death. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult pandas eat about 40 kilograms of bamboo per day. Pandas can also be quite picky. How picky? Well, they refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed (开花).
④Calgary Zoo in Canada said that because of COVID-19, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This may mean that they have to send pandas back though they deeply hope these pandas continue to serve as close friends between China and Canada. “Our people do love pandas. We regard it as a good way to keep connection with China.” Steven Monfort, director of the zoo, told China Daily.
