There are a lot of interesting things in the world. If someone tells you that they can fish in the desert(沙漠), you must think they are joking(开玩笑). but this is true. In some places of Africa, people can fish in the desert. It must be very interesting to get some fish from the sand(沙漠). and in the woods of Asia there is a kind of bird. To our surprise, this kind of bird doesn’t eat anything but iron(铁). I think the bird’s teeth must be harder than the iron. We all know that snakes can eat mice(老鼠), but in a place of Africa a kind of big mouse can eat snakes. Isn’t it interesting? Have you ever heard of “brush trees”? they are different from the trees we know. People can use their branches to brush teeth, and they are good for people’s teeth.
You must be very surprised to hear there interesting things. But they are all true. In fact, there are a lot of interesting things in our world. If you are careful enough, you can find them easily around you.

As the graduation day was coming near, Peter had got nothing from his father. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. He told his son how proud he was to have such a good son, and told how much he loved him. Then he gave his son a beautiful gift box. He opened the box, finding a lovely book, a Bible(圣经), with the young man’s name in it. Angrily he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then ran out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years later, Peter was very successful in business. He had a beautiful house and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was old, he thought he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Unfortunately, he was told that his father had died.
When he reached his father’s house, he began to take care of his father’s papers. And then he found the Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened it and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, from the back of the Bible dropped a car key. That was the key to the sports car he wanted so much. Sudden sadness and regret (悔恨)filled his heart.
Sometimes we don’t realize the good luck that we already have because we don’t know the gift box is packed in a different way. The gift box may be the door to happiness. It is just waiting for us to open.

【推荐2】Steven, 75, had four grandchildren, and they all visited him during their holidays. Before they came to visit, Steven got his home ready for the children. But while he was working, he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife. Steven loved the watch very much. He was sad.
When his grandchildren came, one granddaughter asked, “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?” Steven answered, “I think when I was cleaning the barn （谷仓） !” All the children went to the barn to look for the watch, except little Mike. They stayed in the barn for more than two hours but they couldn’t find it.
After they came back, Mike went to look for the watch in the barn. The little boy just asked the other children not to follow him and to keep silent. He was there for about 15 minutes and then ran quickly to his grandfather. He found the watch!

Is there anybody you dislike? Well, maybe you don’t really dislike them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and relatives. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

【推荐2】Have you ever heard of National Park of Hainan Tropical (热带的) Rainforest? It is our own “Amazon”. If you travel there, what can you enjoy?
Animals
The park is home to Hainan gibbons (长臂猿). They look like monkeys, but have no tails. They eat fruits and leaves from over 130 kinds of plants. In the 1980s, there were fewer than 10 gibbons (长臂猿) in the park. In 2022, there were 36 because people protected their home and planted trees.
Plants
The park is a “live museum” of plants. It is also home to 133 kinds of national key protected plants. Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is an example. It has feather-like (羽毛样的) big leaves. It grows slowly, but can live as long as 200 years. It probably won’t grow flowers or fruits in North China. But in Hainan, cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) over 10 years old blossom (开花) and bear fruits (结果) almost every year.
Culture
Miao and Li people have lived in the park for generations (世代). Their houses look like upside-down boats. They are built above the ground to keep away animals. Li people make clothes from bark (树皮). Their history of tree bark clothing dates back to about 10,000 years ago. Some people still use bark clothing nowadays.

【推荐3】People often think of the North Pole（北极） and the South Pole as similar frozen（冰冻的）wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32 °F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.
Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic（北极圈） on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water（水道）called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
1. According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago?| A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole. |

【推荐2】The idea of life in outer space has been talked about for a long time. Some scientists say that life development on Earth was far too unlikely for it to have happened anywhere else. Things had to be perfect for us to make it on this planet.
Other scientists say that space is too big. Stars and other planets are far too numerous for there to be no other life in the universe.
For many years, there have been reports of visitors from other planets. People all around the world have claimed to see alien spaceships or even aliens themselves.
There have been glimpses of these so-called UFOs (unidentified flying objects) flying through the air and they have even ben captured on video. Some Americans believe that the U.S. Army found an alien spaceship erashed in the desert and then lied to the press about it. Although these sightings may be true, scientists have not found significant evidence that aliens exist.
If you go out into the countryside on a clear night and look up, you can see thousands of stars. Those stars make up a tiny part of our universe. There are more stars, planets, and galaxies than we can count. Even the smartest scientists can't even come close to defining how big space is. The number of possible stars and planets out there is bigger than our ability to count. If we are really on the only planet that can sustain life, then we are very specinl in a universe full of amazing things.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money.
When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
1. Happiness is for______.
| A．those who have large and beautiful houses |
| B．those who have cars |
