A fever—defined as an increase in body temperature over 37.3℃—is a common sign of illness. Whatever the cause is, here are some things you should remember if you develop a fever. 1 .
Don’t drink certain drinks. Alcohol, soda and caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drinks should be avoided when you have a fever. They can cause your body to lose water when it really needs a lot.
2 . If you feel too warm, this can influence the body’s ability to regulate (调节) its temperature and make your fever worse.
You shouldn’t double your medicines. Although fever-reducing medicines are very useful for treating fever, taking more than what doctors suggest can lead to serious harm to your health and even death. 3 .
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). 4 . Hunger also reduces the body’s ability to fight off disease.
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. That will finally cause the body to lose water faster.
| A. You should see a doctor. B. You’d better not dress too warmly. C. They can help you look after yourself. D. So you need to get more energy from food. E. For children, the amount (量) should be even smaller. |

Do you often compare yourself to other people? Perhaps your best friend received something you really wanted for birthday, or you’re not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are normal and sometimes helpful, focusing on your own progress is important for your happiness, too.
Why is focusing on me important? “We prefer to compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves,” says psychologist (心理学家) Nicola Abbott. “But comparing your achievements to your past self and your future self can be more positive.” This can make you feel proud and excited.
If you begin to feel quite low, Abbott suggests focusing on your own progress and what you’re good at. You can ask yourself questions like “ ▲ ?”, “What do I feel proud of?” and “What improvements can I notice?” These can help to improve your self-esteem (自尊心).
“Comparing with others is normal,” says Antrobus, a child psychologist, “but focusing on improving your own performance can help you feel successful, too. Besides, learning to celebrate your friend’s achievements can help not only to, improve your friend’s feeling but can also help you feel good. “It will encourage you to get along well with each other.”

3. What might be the missing sentence in the ▲ ?
4. Which do you think is more helpful to you, comparing with others or focusing on your own progress? Why? （30 words or more）
【推荐2】When we are worried or mad, we don’t always know what to do. Here’s how to deal with strong feelings and relax yourself. However, you have to remember that it’s always up to you. You can control yourself if you follow these tips.
Lie down in a safe place. Close your eyes and listen to slow music to make your mind quiet. Imagine every part of your body relaxing. Start with your toes and as you breathe, imagine them becoming one with the earth. Try to be as still as possible.
Take a piece of paper to write about what has happened and list steps of action to work it out properly. After you write it down, throw it away. It’s like throwing away those feelings you just want to get out.
Realize that you cannot control what will happen today. Know that you can control how you react to the problems that will happen every day. When you find yourself getting worried or stressed because life seems to be out of control, take a few deep breaths first. And then tell yourself “Life is crazy but I am calm”. Repeat this ten times and you will get calm.
Don’t get down on yourself. If you’re having a bad day, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself good things. Say “You are smart/ beautiful/ handsome” to keep your confidence up. Don’t let other people bring you down! Stay Strong!

Computers can injure (伤害) you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly. You probably know how to ride a bike safely (安全地). Now learn to use a computer safely.
Your eyes
Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.
When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect (反射) on the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.
Your hands and wrists (手腕)
Hand and wrist injuries can happen because you move your hands and wrists in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a computer for a long time, follow these three rules:
· Rest your wrists on something.
· Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height as your desk,
· Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.
Your back
Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back and your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行的) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise.

James had a terrible toothache. It kept him awake all night. His cheek was swollen（肿的）and it was difficult for him to eat or drink. Anything very hot or cold made the toothache worse. If James ate anything sweet, the pain would be unbearable（不能忍受的）.

The dentist agreed to see James immediately. “Open your mouth, “ he said, “and let me have a look.” James opened his mouth.
“Which tooth is giving you trouble?” the dentist asked next. James touched the tooth with his finger.
The dentist X-rayed the tooth, then he put the X-ray against a bright light. “Oh, yes,” he said, “I can see the problem. There is a hole in the tooth. I’m afraid the hole is too big to fill. I must take the tooth out.”
“That’s all right,” James said, “Just stop the pain.” The dentist gave James an injection（注射）and quickly pulled out the tooth. He dropped it into the garbage can. “Don’t throw it away,”James said, “Let me have it please.”
“Why do you want your bad tooth?” the dentist asked.
“I’m going to take it home, put it in a bowl of hot honey and watch it suffer,” James said.

【推荐1】On December 26th, 2020, China passed a new law to protect the Yangtze River, the “mother river” of China. It is Yangtze River Protection Law. It took effect (生效) on March 1st, 2021. It’s the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The 6,397-kilometer Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia. It covers an area of about 1.8 million square kilometers, about one fifth of the national total. The Yangtze River provides one third of the country’s freshwater resources, but it has met lots of environmental problems in recent years, such as heavy pollution and overfishing. Especially, the river’s Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) has died out. So the “mother river” is in great need of protection. To solve these problems, China put a 10-year fishing ban (禁令) at the beginning of 2020 to protect fish resources.
According to a report of the government, the fishermen said they would give up fishing along the Yangtze River to protect the “mother river”. Chinese officer Han Zheng said that more support should be given to the fishermen to help them find new jobs and places to live.
Yangtze River Protection Law includes resource protection and green development. The government says the purpose of the new law is to strengthen (加强) environmental protection, use resources well and make the development sustainable (可持续的).
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
1. When did the law take effect?
2. How long is the Yangtze River?
3. Can the fishermen fish along the river now?
4. How many years will the fishing ban last (持续)?

They think the things that we will be able to do in the future should help us live better in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world. Here are just two of them：
●People live for up to 120 years and use new technology to help when people go blind(盲), deaf(聋) and have other problems. The number of people over a hundred years old could go from 135,000 today to 2.2 million people by 2050. By 2015 people think that 100 million workers will be able to work from home for a company in a different country by using the lnternet.
●The new technology of “nanotechnology”, that is very small robots or machines, will make all the things smaller and lighter. Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and help people take away fat in our bodies. By 2020 people will probably be able to wear these small machines that look like watches. They will give us lots of information about our bodies and help keep us healthy.

When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so?
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system (评分制度), the first four letters are considered passing grades. An F in this system stands for “fail”. 单词“fail”恰好以字母F开头。It seems that only the letter E is left out.
The fact Any letter can mean “not-passing” or “fail”. Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory”, or I grade for “incomplete”. |
Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.
Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.
Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully show student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids. They are familiar (熟悉的) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.
| The History The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the one we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale: A: 95—100% (excellent) B: 85—94% (good) C: 76—84% (fair) D: 75% (barely passed) E: below 75% (failed) We can see that E was included instead of F. |
