Do you have a pet? Many children like pets and even treat them like humans sometimes. They may like to kiss or hug their pets. But this can make them sick. “Kissing or hugging pets such as dogs and cats can cause people to take in drug-resistant bacteria (耐药细菌),” British scientists said.
Many pet owners give their pets antibiotics (抗生素) when they get sick. But taking antibiotics too often can affect the bacteria inside your pet. The bacteria can become drug resistant. When people kiss or hug their pets, this kind of bacteria can move to them and make them sick.
Close relationships between pet owners and their pets are important. But if pet owners follow the rules below they will not get sick.
Rules for playing:
●Do not kiss your pets on the mouth.
●Do not let your pets lick (舔) your mouth or nose.
●Wash your hands after touching and playing with your pets.
●If you have a wound, cover it. This way, bacteria cannot pass on to you from your pets.

One day you go into a restaurant and order fried chicken, but the waiter brings you a plate of green vegetables instead. How would you feel about this kind of mistake? Perhaps most people will feel unhappy. However, the same mistakes often happen in a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan and it has become very popular.
The name of the restaurant is The Restaurant of Order Mistakes. Food blogger Mizuho Kudo visited it and had a good time there. At first, she ordered a hamburger but ended up having dumplings instead. To her surprise, everything turned out to be very delicious. Kudo said that the waiters and waitresses were full of smiles and seemed to be having lots of fun. Yes, as the restaurant’s name shows, mistakes are common in this restaurant. But it’s important to know the cause of the mistake: the waiters and waitresses make these mistakes not because they are too busy or they are not careful enough. Instead, all of them are old people with dementia, a serious brain illness.
Why does the restaurant hire people with dementia? The owners think by doing so, the society will pay more attention to people with dementia. “With a little bit of understanding of these patients, we can make the world a better place,” the owners said.

【推荐2】When we want to find out what the weather will be like tomorrow, we usually turn on the radio or TV. But in the time before radio and TV, people needed to forecast (预测) the weather. How did they do it? Let’s learn about two weather rhymes (押韵的诗) together.
Red sky at night, Sailor’s delight!
Red sky in the morning, Sailors take warning!
This weather rhyme was written a long time ago, but it still works today. As the sun is setting, a red sky at night usually means there are no clouds coming in from the west, a sign of good weather for tomorrow. But a red sky in the morning always means drier air is moving away to the east and moister air is moving in from the west. The moist air could bring clouds, rain and stormy weather.
When leaves show their undersides (底部), Be very certain, rain betides.
The rhyme shows us how trees forecast the weather. Tree leaves turn upside down just before it rains. In the period before a storm, strong winds can lift the leaves and show their undersides.
Animals, insects and plants are natural forecasters. When a summer storm is coming, you may notice that dogs, cows, horses, and geese grow restless (不安的) and frogs come out of their hiding places. These animals don’t have some sixth sense. Scientists think the animals can hear the low frequency (频率) sound waves made by thunderstorms many miles away.
Get outside and observe nature carefully, and soon you’ll be your own weather forecaster.
1. The underlined word “moist” can be replaced by the word “________”.| A．wet | B．Cold | C．warm | D．clean |
| A．Their sense of sight. | B．Their sense of hearing. |
| C．Their sense of smell. | D．Their sense of touching. |
| A．The two rhymes are both about winter weather. |
| B．When leaves show their undersides, it will be fine. |
| C．If you see a red sky in the morning, you can travel outside. |
| D．If you see a frog come out of its hiding place, you’d better stay at home. |
| A．To introduce two famous weather rhymes to us. |
| B．To tell us we should read as many rhymes as possible. |
| C．To show us the way to observe different animals. |
| D．To encourage us to get close to nature and observe the weather on our own. |
When scientists could use telescopes(望远镜) to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet(行星) that had been caught in the earth’s gravity（重力） millions of years earlier.
In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars（火星） hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.
1. In the passage the writer wants to tell us ___________________.
| A．why people are interested in the moon |

| D．that people have finally learned the truth about the moon. |
| A．part of the earth billions of years earlier |
| B．older than the earth |
| C．a planet caught by the earth’s gravity |
| D．made of the same things as the earth |
| A．scientists in the past were not clever |
| B．the earth was once part of the moon |
| C．we now know everything about the moon |
| D．new information brings new ideas |

【推荐2】In the late 19th century, a new art movement became popular. It was called Impressionism (印象派)and began with the famous artist Claude Monet.
December 5, 2016 marked 90 years since the painter's death. On November 16, 2016, his painting Meule sold for more than $81 million (559 million yuan). This was one of the biggest art sales ever.
Meule was painted in 1891 and is part of the 25-painting Haystacks collection. Each work shows at least one large hay bale (#h) in different types of light and weather. US artist Brooke Lampley told China Daily, "He [Monet] did completely new things with 20th-century abstract art (抽象艺术).”
Monet spent most of his life trying to paint outdoor scenes. One day, while drawing, he met his first art teacher, Eugene Boudin. Boudin encouraged the young Monet to become a natural scenery painter. Monet later said, all of a sudden. realized what painting could be. I could see my own destiny(命运) as a painter.”
In the 1870s, Monet started painting the same scene at different times of day. He took six canvases(油画布) and painted the changes he'd see during the day, be they light, shadows, or weather.
Painting these changes became Monet's art style and was later named Impressionism after his 1873 painting Impression, Sunrise.
During his life, Monet said his style showed his love of the natural world. “All I did was to I look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush show it,” he said.

【推荐2】Sort trash, save Earth
You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1, Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting (垃圾分类) policy. People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins (垃圾箱). Other cities in China will do the same soon.
Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, boxes, newspapers, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries (电池), nail polish (指甲油), and other things with harmful chemicals. Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food, vegetables, flowers, leaves and eggshells. Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins. It includes pens, toilet paper, tape, hair, and towels (毛巾). |
Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It’s because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil, air and water. Actually we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage.
For example, if you put an old battery into the “harmful waste” bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.
Can factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and costs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier.
● Garbage sorting and recycling around the world.
Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get money back. You can get one to two yuan per bottle. People like this because they can get money and protect the environment at the same time.
Japan: A trash truck comes to people’s doors to pick up their garbage. It plays music when it’s coming. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them wrong, you will get a notice on your door.
Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations. An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles, five medium (中等大小的) bottles or 10 plastic cups. But the bottles must be clean.
1. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?| A．Shanghai is the first city in China to make a garbage-sorting policy. |
| B．China is the first country in the world to make a garbage-sorting policy. |
| C．Many other cities in China have garbage-sorting policies. |

【推荐3】On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. "Hi, girl! My name is Rose, and I'm 87 years old."
"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked jokingly.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she replied.
Rose became a college symbol this year and she easily made friends with other students.
At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football party. I'll never forget what she taught us.
"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets of staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!" she said.
"There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do anything, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men," she added.
She ended her speech by singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year's end,Rose finished the college education she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

“Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to get along with it,” Mrs. Brown said to her husband. “That sounds like a pretty good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?” “No. Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go,” she said.
