Nowadays, more and more people keep pets at home around the world and they love their pets so much and they see them as members of the family. Do you have pets? Do you play with your pet dog or cat? Do you like touching animals like rabbits? They are cute. But sometimes they can be very dangerous. If your pet dog bites (咬) you, then you will possibly get a disease—rabies.
In China, lots of people got rabies in the first nine months of 2019. In September, about 300 people died of rabies. That is 30% more than last September.
Dogs, cats, rabbits and bats may have rabies. If they bite or scratch (抓) someone, the virus (病毒) of rabies could go into the person’s body. The person could even die. It’s important to get the right treatment (治疗) very soon. It’s reported that around 60, 000 die of rabies every year all over the world. Unluckily, most deaths happen in Asia and Africa. India has the most death. China is the second.
Rabies is so terrible, but there is still something we can do to save ourselves from having it.
The most important is that it’s best not to get too close to your pet dog or cat, especially when you have a wound (伤口).

A fever, defined as an increase in body temperature over 37.3, is a common sign of illness. But recently, it has caught uncommon attention: It can be a sign of catching COVID-19. Whatever the cause, here are some things you should remember if you develop a fever.
Don’t drink certain drinks. Alcohol, soda and coffee should be avoided when you have a fever. They can cause your body to lose water when it really needs a lot of water.
Do not dress too warmly or put yourself in a place that is too hot. This can influence the body’s ability to regulate(调节) its temperature and make your fever worse.
Don’t take medicine without the doctor’s advice. Although fever-reducing medicines are very useful for treating fever, taking more than the recommended amount can lead to serious harm to your health and even death. For children, the amount should be smaller.
Don’t stay hungry. The old saying “Those with a cold should eat, while those with a fever should eat nothing” is wrong and dangerous. Fever speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢). Hunger also reduces the body’s ability to fight off disease. So you need to get more energy from food.
Don’t forget to drink water. A fever will increase the number of breaths, causing water loss. The body also sweats more as it regulates its temperature. In addition, people usually drink less water when they have a fever, which will finally cause the body to lose water faster.
1. Alex has a fever, his temperature must be ________.A.below 36.8 | B.above 36.8 | C.below 37.3 | D.above 37.3 |
A.water | B.milk | C.coffee | D.juice |

【推荐2】Have you ever seen a bee fly busily? Do you think the bee is just flying around? In fact, the bee is hard at work.
Bees spend lots of time looking for food. But not all the bees in the hive (蜂巢) have this work. Bees can be divided into three kinds—a queen bee, drones (雄蜂), and worker bees. The queen bee is very important. She is the mother of all the bees that live in the hive. Worker bees do all the other work in the hive. Besides looking for food, they make and clean the hive. They also look after the queen and protect her.
Bees make dance-like movements inside the hive to send messages about food. They use different movements to give different information. They tell where food can be found and how far away it is from the hive. Bees can even share how much food there is and how good it is. And surprisingly, a new study has found that a group of bees could generate an amazing total of electricity by beating their wings more than 200 times per second. And the amount (量) of electricity could reach 100 to 1, 000 V (伏). That’s eight times greater than the electricity a storm cloud can produce.
Scientists found that the thicker a cloud of bees is, the more electricity it generates. Based on these findings, the team recorded that bees—which group together to form a huge, thick cloud of bees—could have an influence similar to that of a storm. Further research is needed to find out how electricity influences the bees and their environment.

【推荐3】Kitty came into my life twenty years ago. When my son, Josh, and I were walking by “The Stock Exchange” store in our hometown, we saw a basket full of little cats in the window. We talked about getting a cat as a friend to our new little dogs, Asja. It was easy to choose.
In her new home in the woods, Kitty spent many afternoons climbing trees and playing with the bushes. She easily made friends with Asja.

Music plays an important role in our daily life. We can hear music when we’re at a store or a restaurant. People call it background music. Recorded background music was first used in shops and restaurants, but it soon became popular in other public places. Now many sports centers, children centers and theaters also like to use background music.
Why do many stores use it? Well, because they want to make customers stay longer. Then customers may buy things if they stay longer. In fact, some background music is soft. However, some background music is too loud. Many customers don’t like any background music. When they hear it, they may get angry and walk out of the shop.
According to a study, 75% of the customers care about the background music when they go into a store. If they like the music, they’ll stay longer and they’ll come to the store again. However, 50% of the customers will leave the store because they don’t like the music. They even say that they may not return to the store again.
So stores should choose a proper ‘sound’ for their customers. The proper background music is a good way to attract (吸引) more customers. Some restaurant owners even say that background music is as important as the taste of the food.
1. The theaters and sports centers were the first to use recorded background music.2. Many stores use background music to make the customers stay longer.
3. 85% of the customers care about the background music when they go into a store.
4. The background music can make the owner’s places look more beautiful.
5. The text mainly talks about background music in shops and restaurants.
【推荐2】You may think that bacteria(细菌)should be kept away from priceless old works of art. But some people are using bacteria to bring art back to life!
According to Popular Science, special microbes(微生物)have been used on everything from centuries-old frescoes(壁画)to oil paintings to ancient walls. People use them to clean and bring back the bright color of these pieces of cultural heritage(文物).
Recently, an Italian art restoration (修复)team tried to clean the marble(大理石)in the Medici Chapel in Florence. It was carved(雕刻)by the famous artist Michelangelo(1475 一 1564). They chose eight of the most useful types of bacteria from about 1, 000 and tested them on the marble. The bacteria successfully cleaned the contaminants (污染物)while leaving the marble unharmed.
“Biocleaning” - using bacteria to clean artworks - was first used in the 1990s by Italian biologist Giancarlo Ranalli. A team was trying to clean frescoes at a cemetery(公墓)in Pisa, Italy. When the cemetery was ruined in World War II, people used animal glue to hold the works together. The team wanted to clean away the glue. They turned to Ranalli and asked: “Dr. Ranalli, can’t you do anything with your bugs?”
It turns out that bacteria are perfect for this kind of task - if you choose the right one. For Ranalli, it was Pseudomonas stutzeri(施氏假单胞菌). It ate through the animal glue while leaving the original color of the artworks. Now scientists have grown different types of bacteria for certain contaminants, reported Forbes.
It is the artists who create artworks, but it is the bacteria that help people enjoy them in the future.

【推荐3】Even if the word “pop” disappears from the English vocabulary, the influence of pop will remain. Pop has become part of British and American history.
There has always been a close cultural link or tie, between Britain and English-speaking America, not only in literature but also in the popular arts especially music. Before the Second World War, the Americans exported jazz and the blues. During the 1950s, they exported rock and roll, and star singers like Elvis Presley were idolized by young British and Americans alike.
The people responsible for the pop revolution(改革) were four Liverpool boys who joined together in a group and called themselves the Beatles. They played in small clubs in the back streets of the city. Unlike the famous solo stars who had their songs written for them, the Beatles wrote their own words and music. They had a close personal relationship with their audience, and they expected them to join in and dance to the beat of the music. Audience participation is a necessary characteristic of pop culture.
Some pop groups, especially the Rolling Stones, did more than just entertainment. They wrote words which were intended to shock on purpose. They represented the anger and bitterness of youth fighting for freedom against authority(权威).
The Beatles, on the other hand, finally won the love and respect of people of all ages and social backgrounds. As they developed, their songs became more serious. They wrote not only about love, but about death, poverty and daily life. They were respected by many intellectuals(知识分子) and by some serious musicians. Largely thanks to the Beatles, pop music has grown into an influential career which also brings much wealth.
