 In the COVID-19 pandemic(新冠肺炎疫情), people across the world are paying more attention to the health and happiness of each other. Some are trying to send messages of love and care in different ways. In China, an international communication program was started to send support to other countries. It has collected eighty-five letters written by students in Beijing to young people in pandemic-stricken(疫情重创下的) countries. They are full of love and care. These letters were made into a collection of short videos called “A Letter to Friends”. They were shown in the form of sand painting. It is reported that many hospitals abroad refuse all visitors to patients in order to stop the spread of COVID- 19. Patients feel lonely and worried, so some hospitals have created “Online Wish Wall” for the public. People are welcome to post their messages there to express their love and care. So far, the hospitals have received a great deal of encouragement from the public. The messages have helped the patients to cheer up without their loved ones by their side. The COVID-19 pandemic may make life difficult for people, but love and care will make life better. |

4 . Schools in China are studying how they can put VR(=virtual reality 虚拟现实) lessons into their classroom experience. One such lesson uses VR to teach children fire safety. Instead of pens and paper, students wear VR headsets in the classroom. They are put into a virtual environment where a fire has broken out. They must find their way out and escape carefully.
At the VR medical school under Sichuan University, a virtual system allows medical students to examine human body in different ways. They can even separate organs for closer examination. Students can practice their operation skills without a real body.
Simon Leung, vice-chairman of a VR company, said the company has developed VR classrooms and computers that send students to a 360 degree digital world. Moreover, the VR headsets can tell whether children are focused on the task at hand, Leung said.
Chinese parents, however, have a different opinion on VR lessons. They are suspicious of VR because they are unsure if the technology will have any bad effects. They are worried about their children’s eye sight, too.
Besides, VR equipment comes at a price. A top VR headset and computer could cost up to 10,000 yuan(1,475 U. S. dollars). “We need to do more to lower the cost and improve the user’s experience,” said Huang Ronghuai, professor at the Smart Learning Institute under Beijing Normal University, “But we are sure that we will change the model of education in the future.”
1. In VR lessons, students need to use ________.| A．pens and paper | B．VR headsets | C．a computer | D．a real knife |

Chang’e-5 Back Home  In an ancient Chinese story, a beautiful goddess named Chang’e flew to the moon alone. It was a sad story because she never came back home. However, another Chinese “Chang’e” just came back. After weeks of space travel, the Chang’e-5 lunar probe(月球探测器)came home on December 17th, 2020. It landed successfully in Siziwang banner in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The whole flight took more than 20 days. Chang’e-5 brought back rocks and soil from the moon. They are the world’s freshest lunar rocks in over 40 years. China has become the third country in the world to successfully bring back rocks from the moon, after the US and the former Soviet Union.  The return of Chang’e-5 was the last step in China’s three-step lunar exploration program(探月工程). It began in 2004, including orbiting, landing, and bringing back samples, Xinhua News Agency reported. To work together with other countries, China has planned to send some rocks to scientists from all over the world. Going to the moon has been a dream for Chinese people, and the story of Chang’e has been told through the ages. Now, Chang’e-5 has helped Chinese people realize the dream. |

Dear teachers and friends,
Dreams are important to our lives. I’m happy to be here to share my dream with you.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you for listening.
Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. When I have an exam, I am always too worried about it. So I’m not surprised when I find that my students worry about them. As a student, it’s impossible for you not to worry about exams at all, but at least you should try not to worry too much. Good students never study hard only a few days before an exam. They study hard all the time. Remember that it is impossible to learn everything at the last minute.
Then what should you do? If you start to study for each exam early, you will be able to say “How easy the exam is!” Then you will be more confident about yourself.
▲ Take a short rest during your study. If you are too tired, you can’t remember things well. Then you should have a short rest for about ten minutes after you study for an hour. Then you can remember things much faster.
▲ You’d better not stay up late before an exam. You may feel tired or want to sleep the next day if you stay up too late before an exam.
▲ Try to do something else to relax yourself. You can listen to music or have a walk with your good friends. They are both good ways to help you feel less worried or nervous before an exam.

It is a happy thing to help your parents do housework. Don’t be too lazy. You should learn to do some housework to help your parents, because they are too tired after a busy day of work. C. In fact, doing the dishes and cooking meals in the kitchen aren’t boring. You should try to do them. If you do that, your mother will be very happy D. Doing housework is really difficult and a waste of time for children. Parents should do the housework all the time. E. If you are old enough, you should help your parents to look after your brother or sister. You need to be patient and careful. If you don’t know how to do better, you can ask your mother for advice. F. You should find some time to relax when you are doing homework. Doing housework can help you relax. Perhaps doing some housework can help you study better. |
8 . Every thirty seconds there is an earthquake in the world. Some of these earthquakes are so weak that people can’t feel them. But some of them are very serious and many people get hurt or die in them. Do you know what cause earthquakes?

9 . Millions of years ago, dinosaurs (恐龙) controlled the earth. And there were different types of dinosaurs on the earth. Some of them were no bigger than chickens, but all of them had very small brains (大脑). Later on, there weren’t any dinosaurs. What happened to them?
In the days of dinosaurs, the whole earth was warm and wet. There were many green forests. But the earth changed slowly all the time. When parts of the earth became cold and dry, the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough food to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.
What’s another reason? We can make a guess. New kinds of animals came to the earth. Some had big brains and were fast and strong. They could kill dinosaurs. Some ate dinosaur eggs, too.
There may be other reasons that we do not know about. Each year, people will find some dinosaur footprints (脚印) and bones. Scientists are trying to tell us more about dinosaurs.

10 . Good study habits are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you will learn faster and have a good memory. It is useful to have a good memory. When someone says he has a good memory, it means that he keeps practicing by using it.
Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you lean well. Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. I think it is necessary to put away your things. It helps you study well, too. Enough light is good for your study. You will feel tired easily if there is not enough light.
Of all the good study habits you can develop, asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything but we can always learn from others by asking questions. Another simple but helpful habit is to tell yourself what you are studying for. Put your dream grades on your desk. It means you will see and think about it every day.
When do you work best? Are you an early bird or a night owl (猫头鹰), or something in between? Find your most productive work time and then plan to study at the time. I believe you will make great progress in your study.
