Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends” and “best friends”.
The first kind of friends is simply acquaintances, and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends do something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”.
The second kind of friends “guest friends” could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little about what they like or dislike, and a little about their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel.
The last kind of friends, the “best friends”, are the people you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong, and though they may not be perfect, they at least will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you.
We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value (重视) all friendship and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.

One of my close friends, Bob, has a very large dog named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, Bob and Jack have a walk in the park nearby. Jack likes these walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, I paid a visit to my friend. I stayed there for a long time and my friend and I had much more talk with each other than ever before.

【推荐2】The American book “Who Moved My Cheese” has been a best-seller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. It is mainly for teenagers. The book tells us that when facing changes in our life, like a new school or new friends, we shouldn’t be afraid. We should use the changes to make a better life.
The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Lots of teenagers are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze (迷宫) looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people can’t do this. They are afraid of changes so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction (方向) quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teenagers face, such as doing well at school or feeling good about themselves.

【推荐1】Grace Brown leads a busy school life. Apart from the many required subjects, the 14-year-old also sings in a choir(合唱团)and plays the piano. The school day lasts from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but Grace has so many activities to attend that she has no time for P. E. classes. That’s why Grace has chosen to take P. E. classes on her own time.
Her school has allowed her to try “virtual” P. E.. For many subjects, tests and textbooks have become available on computers. Now, new technologies are also having an effect on P. E.. Grace wears a fitness tracker(追踪设备)called Fitbit on her arm while exercising. She usually exercises three times a week for 30 minutes each time. A program on her computer records her activity. Grace needs to hand in the records to her school every week.
“Virtual” P. E. is becoming more and more popular among teenagers. Usually, P. E. teachers don’t guide their Fitbit-wearing students in real time. But they do lead the students’ work by setting goals. The students can choose their favorite activities. Those who swim or dance all year round may easily meet the workout requirements. As for Grace, she has added light running and cycling to her days. Some schools, do not support this trend. “Physical activity is different from physical education,” said a P. E. teacher. “Physical activity is great for the body. Everybody is moving. But in P. E. class, students are taught not only how to move but also things like teamwork.”

【推荐2】At the Wenchang Space Center in Hainan Province on April 29, 2021, a Long March 5B rocket made great sound, going through thick clouds covering the city of Wenchang.
The rocket was successful in sending the core capsule(核心舱)of China’s space station, named Tianhe, into the space. In 1992, China’s government decided on a “three-step” plan for space project. The first step is building a manned spacecraft. The second step is building mini space stations (Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2). And the last step is building China’s own space station. This has brought China closer to its final goal.
As the working center of China’s space station, the core capsule is 16.6 meters long, about the height of a 5-floor building. It is 4.2 meters tall. In fact, the core capsule is bigger than a train or subway carriage(车厢).
The Tianhe core capsule’s launch(发射)starts a lot of important jobs to finish building China’s space station. China’s space station will appear with the core capsule at the center and a lab capsule on each side.
To make sure a good life for astronauts, it is divided into six parts, like places for work, sleep and exercise. Besides, the core capsule will use “smart home” technology to control home appliances in the capsule through smart phones, such as the fridge and TV.
