2 . Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. To be a good friend, you need to learn three rules: be honest, be generous (慷慨的) and be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust each other and speak and act honestly. If a friend finds out that you aren’t honest, you may lose your friend’s trust.
Generosity means sharing. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes to your friends. Instead, you have to learn how to share things you enjoy. And naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing, your friends can know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding when something goes wrong. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. So to be a friend, learn to listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better.

The summer holiday is coming. What a perfect chance to plan a trip! How about backpacking (背包旅行)? Maybe you’re too young to do it. But it doesn’t matter. Follow me and you’ll learn about an interesting way to travel.
Have you ever noticed foreigners with big bags on their backs? They wear jeans and T-shirts, and have guidebooks or maps in their hands. They look curious (好奇的) about everything they see. They enjoy themselves without a tour group. That’s right! They are backpackers.
Backpacking is a popular way for Westerners to travel outside of their country. It’s cheap so that people can travel more and see more places. Most backpackers are young people because backpacking needs a strong body, courage and freedom.
Backpackers usually do some homework before setting out. They search for information about their destination (目的地) country: food, fun places to visit, hostels (青年旅舍) and things to buy. They are sure they know how to change planes or where to get the train.
Backpacking is a freer way to travel. You can change your destination whenever you want. It also allows travelers to explore and see more. And you can decide how long to stay there. If you go with a tour group, there may be a lot of rules and you may not be free to do things as you like.

7 . Loudness in the air
BOOM! That’s a word we often use to describe a loud sound. It’s also part of the term “sonic boom (音爆)”, which is something that happens when air is pushed so strongly and quickly that it creates a loud noise.
On March 20, rare daytime meteor (流星) created sonic boom over parts of the UK and France, according to Live Science. The meteor flew through the sky so fast that it could hardly be seen—but it could definitely be heard.
So how exactly are sonic booms made? You can think of air as being like water. When something moves through water, you can see ripples (波纹). If the object moves very quickly, the ripples start to run into each other.
The same thing happens in the air, even if it can’t be seen. When the object moves faster than the speed of sound, the air is pushed hard, and it compresses (压缩) like the ripples on water. This will create a sound wave that is very loud, which is a sonic boom.
Actually, lots of things can make sonic booms. When you go to the park and see people play with whips and tops (鞭子和陀螺), you might hear a tiny sonic boom when they crack (重击) the whip. Aircraft (飞机) that travel faster than the speed of sound can also make sonic booms.
A strong sonic boom can cause damage to windows or buildings, although the possibility of this is very low, according to the US Air Force. The loud sound can also influence people on the ground and even cause hearing loss. That’s why supersonic aircraft are only allowed in times of war.
1. When can a sonic boom happen?2. What created a sonic boom over parts of the UK and France on March 20?
3. Can you usually see a sonic boom in the air?
4. How can an aircraft create sonic booms?
5. What can a sonic boom cause?
8 . In our daily life many people always have negative (消极的) thoughts. Being in negative space is harmful to our life and study. If you keep them in mind, you will lose hope sooner or later. Let’s drive away some of the most common negative thoughts.
No one cares about me.
Sometimes you say that your family and friends don’t care about you. Maybe you’re being too negative and misunderstand (误解) the gestures (姿势) of love they show you. They don’t even have to be big gestures, but there are many little things they do for you. Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them for granted. Perhaps you think they don’t care about you so you don’t try your best in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in the same way. And if you don’t have good relationships with the people you know, what’s stopping you from making new friends? Try to find it out.
Why is she better off?
Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive (积极的). There’s always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter or richer than you. If you keep admiring what someone else has, then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don’t have is your whole package. Be proud of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison (比较) game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.
I’ll never reach my goal
If you think you’re not going to be able to “get there”, think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome more difficulty than what you are facing.
Everything will not beyond (超出) your reach if you work hard and have a positive attitude.

全国百万中小学生“线上开学”
Feb 17 should have been the start of the spring semester for many middle and primary schools in China. However, to control the novel coronavirus outbreak, many schools have delayed(延迟) the start of the semester, following instructions from the Ministry of Education (MOE). But students in China are still studying.
Instead of having classes at school, many students in Beijing and Guangzhou began their first day of online classes on Feb 17. Students in Shanghai will start online classes on March 2, 2020.
“In the morning, I have English class, followed by Chinese and math,” Liu Bo, a Junior 3 student from Beijing, told Xinhua. “I have also learned about epidemic prevention(预防传染病).”
According to the MOE, students are mainly taking classes to review previous knowledge rather than taking new classes during the online study period. Online courses are required to include content(内容) about epidemic prevention, psychological(心理的) health and educational activities.
“Online courses are only temporary measures(暂时的措施) taken during the epidemic, so when the new semester begins, schools should not replace(替代) classroom teaching with online class.” Lu Yugang from the ministry told China Daily.
The ministry also called on schools not to increase their students’ schoolwork burden(负担). Schools should not ask students to study online for long periods of time or study things beyond(超出) their curriculum(课程). Students must have enough time to rest, the ministry added. Also, it stressed(强调) that protecting students’ eyesight must be a priority(优先).
