Yesterday we visited Red Star Farm in the countryside. It was quite exciting. There were many robots working there. And the farmers grew quite a lot of flowers around the farm. We did many interesting things there. And we learned a lot about farming. Every year many visitors come here.
In the morning, we milked cows and fed chickens first. Then we rode horses. At the beginning, the horses ran very fast. The guide worried about us a lot, so he made the horses slow down. I thought the horses were quite lovely, because they could hear and understand the guide’s order.
At noon, we had lunch on the farm. The food was quite delicious. It wasn’t expensive, and it was really cheap. In the afternoon, we visited the painting museum near a fire station. We were interested in everything in the museum. And the guide taught us how to draw a horse. When we got back, it was dark. We were tired, but happy. All in all, we enjoyed everything there.

【推荐2】Wearing armor (盔甲) and holding weapons, they look like ancient soldiers on door posters. But look closer—they are two cats instead of the generals Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong.
These posters were designed by Liu Shuning and Lin Chen from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. They wanted to mix modern art and youth culture with traditional culture.
The posters use the style of woodblock (木刻) New Year paintings, which are a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Called nianhua in Chinese, this style of art began in the Western Han Dynasty.
“We think woodblock New Year paintings are treasures—their colors and patterns are beautiful,” Lin said. “We want to show that young people still like traditional culture. Protecting cultural heritage requires to breathe new life into it. So I tried to add something that young people like,” Liu said. “People love little cute animals, so Lin and I keep three cats.”
They used these cats as models. They designed a carpet (地毯) using the traditional “six children pattern”—six children making up a circle and sharing three heads—but the children were replaced with dogs and cats.
Their design got hundreds of “likes” on the website. But Liu and Lin don’t stop there. They are now planning another project that will include things borrowed from pictures in Dunhuang.

【推荐3】All feelings went to an island on holiday. Suddenly, the clouds got dark, and they realized a storm was coming, so all rushed to their boats. However, Love didn’t wish to runaway so quickly. There was so much to do. But as the storm got closer and closer, Love realized it was time to leave. But there were no boats to use. Love looked around with hope.
Richness passed by Love in a large boat a few minutes later. Love shouted, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Sadness passed by after sometime. Again, Love asked for help. But it was useless. “No, I can’t take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be by myself.”
When Happiness passed by, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that it hardly cared about anyone else.
Love was worried and hopeless. Just then somebody called out, “Come, Love, I will take you with me.” Love did not know who was so kind, but jumped on to the boat happily.
After getting off the boat, Love met Knowledge. Love asked, “Knowledge, who was so kind to give me a hand when no one else wished to help?”

【推荐1】His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day late in the afternoon, while working to support his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby pond.
He dropped his tools and ran to the pond. There, up to his neck in the water, was a terrified boy, crying and struggling to free himself. Obviously the boy did not know how to swim. Fleming jumped into the pond and quickly swam toward the boy. He saved the boy from what could have been a terrible death.
The next day, a very cool carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s house. A well-dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Fleming saved the day before.
“I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son’s life.”
“No, I can’t accept any payment for what I did,” the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.
At that moment, the farmer’s own son came to the door of the farmhouse, confused by who was visiting them.
“Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.
“Yes,” the farmer replied proudly.
“I’ll make you a deal. Let me take him with me. I promise you that I will give him a good education. If the boy is anything like his father, he’ll grow up to be a man you can be proud of.”
And he did. In time, Fleming’s son graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London and went on to become a famous doctor.
Years later, the nobleman’s son became seriously ill. Who saved him? The farmer’s son did.
It’s important to help people no matter how successful you are in life. You never know when you are going to be the one who needs the help.

【推荐2】A month before my first marathon (马拉松), one of my ankles (踝关节) was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. After my first P. E. class, the teacher told me that I was “not athletic (运动型的)”. The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamed that I couldn’t even find the finish line.
I woke up, being helpless and nervous but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe lace (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to tie it. Not the start I wanted! I had been left behind others at the beginning.
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once-hurt-ankle hurt badly, but I still stayed the course, walking a bit and then running again.
As I came near to mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the person who came in first place had. I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

【推荐3】Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics (塑料) there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized a problem: there are many more small pieces than she could deal with. It seems impossible to clean them all up.
Du, 12 years old at that time, tried to solve the problem like a good scientist — first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that eight million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year. Then she got to build something that could help solve the problem: a remote-operated vehicle (遥控潜水器) , or ROV. Her ROV could move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The cool part of Du’s invention is its detection system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible light to find unnatural colors that make the plastic stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this, and then go after it, ” says engineer Carsey Machado, “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing. ”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old. That was how she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked about her future plans, she mentioned wanting to address the effects of climate (气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions, ” says Du.
Du thanks her parents who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) . She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there. “I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve big world problems. ” says Du, “but I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet. ”
1. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph One refer to?| A．To notice plastics on the beach. | B．To reach down. |

| A．It can solve problems like any good scientist. |
| B．It can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor. |
