Annie is a neighbor's daughter. When her birthday month came around I found out she felt blue and lonely.
Her family is quite small and kind of poor so there wouldn't be any birthday visitors. I wanted to send her a card and maybe a small gift to make her happy.
I told some of my friends I would like to have a birthday party for the girl. I asked them for help. Then I bought some small presents, a cake and something else.
When the day came, my friends and I went to her house. When she got home after school, we gave the presents to her and wished her a happy birthday.
It was so easy to do something helpful. My friends helped take the party. They still laugh and talk about it. And Annie tells me she likes the birthday very much and she can still remember it!

【推荐1】As we all know, December 5 is the International (国际) Volunteering Day. Our country now has 450,000 volunteers. They have provided more than 4.5 billion (亿) hours of volunteer work.

First of all, volunteering is a good way to open our eyes. We may do something we never do and meet different kinds of people. We can talk with them and get their good ideas.
Secondly, volunteers especially (尤其) students can learn much from practice. As students, we are interested in books and learn some knowledge (知识) from it. After we become a volunteer, we will have the chance to put our knowledge into practice.
Thirdly, volunteering is good for our future job. That is to say, when we take part in other jobs without paying, we can get some experience (经验) and know how to solve some problems we never met before.
All in all, volunteering is a form of practice and experience. We shouldn’t say no to it.

【推荐3】A group of scientists from Sweden have unlocked one of nature's biggest secrets. The scientists have worked out how spiders make such strong silk when they build their webs. The silk that spiders make is strong and even tougher than steel. Being able to produce man-made spider silk has long been a dream of many scientists. Now, researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have, step by step, developed a method that works. They've found that the materials for webs are in a spider's silk gland (丝腺) as protein. The gland has a level of acidity (酸度) that helps make the protein into very strong silk. The researchers reported that they could produce man-made spider silk by copying the process.
The new man-made silk could be very useful to humans. Doctors are interested in it. They think it can help people get well after a bum. Some doctors believe the new silk could be used to take the place of the torn ligaments (撕裂的韧带) in the body. Plane makers and makers of protective clothing also see many uses for the new silk.
Senior researcher Anna Rising spoke about how ▲ the new discovery could be. She said, "This is the first successful example of copying spider silk-making process. In the future, this may allow industrial production of man-made silk, which can be used in many fields and make our life much better. The silk could become a valuable material for us."
1. The man-made silk can be used to do many things EXCEPT .| A．help patients get well | B．build excellent planes |

【推荐3】Do you have a good sleep(睡眠) every night? March 21 is World Sleep Day. It’s a good time to think about our sleeping habits and get more sleep.
Sleep is important(重要的) because it helps us to recover(恢复) from the stress(压力) of living.
But today, heavy stress and the habit of using smart phones before bedtime make people lose sleep. About 62% of adults(成年人) in the world feel that they don’t sleep well according to a survey. In America, around 50 million to 60 million people suffer from sleep problems. Losing just one or two hours of sleep every night can affect(影响) us.
“If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you might sleep in school. If you’re asleep, you don’t learn anything,” says Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown Medical School.
How much sleep do you need? That depends on how old you are. The Sleep Foundation says that teenagers(青少年) need 8.5 to 9 hours a day.

【推荐2】Your third year of middle school was probably a tough(难熬的) and busy time. You may have had trouble getting enough sleep. We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health. But it has been found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends.
According to researchers from the University of California, people who don’t get enough sleep are less willing to socialize(社交) with others. They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study. They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night’s sleep—as well as tested them again after a sleepless night. The participants(参加者) watched videos of people with neutral(中性) expressions walking toward them. When the person on the video got too “close” to them, they pushed a button(按钮) to stop the video, which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.
The results showed that the participants kept the person at a distance of 60 percent farther back if they hadn’t gotten enough sleep. They felt that their personal space was being invaded(侵占). But when the participants got a good night’s sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to lead researcher Matthew Walker, the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize with others. In turn, other people may think you are weird and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. It becomes a vicious cycle(恶性循环).
So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person, sleeping well might help. “One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and socially confident,” Walker told The Daily Mail.
