1 . When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.
Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.

4 . Do you know what astronauts eat in space? Is it the same as what we eat every day? Is it more delicious or less delicious than what we eat every day? Is it difficult for astronauts to eat in space? To get all the answers, we need to have a better understanding on food for astronauts.
On Shenzhou XII, there are more than 120 kinds of food for the astronauts. The food is in small size which is easier for astronauts to eat. There are many different kinds of food. Scientists make a research on astronauts’ taste before they are sent into space. With the research, Chinese scientists can know astronauts’ taste and make menus for them. This makes the food for astronauts both delicious and nutritious (营养丰富的). Here is one example of their menus.
| Meals | Main dish | Side dish | Desserts and drinks |
| Breakfast | Porridge | Carrot, bread, eggs, spicy sauces (辣酱) | Chocolate, fruit, Zongzi, milk, orange juice |

5 . Do you know bamboo(竹子)? It’s always green in a year and it is everywhere in Bali. There are 1,450 kinds of bamboo around the world, but we only use seven kinds(种类) of them to make things. We can use bamboo to make things like beds, desks and chairs.
My father uses bamboo to build Green School in Bali. In Green School, all of the rooms are made of bamboo. There are a lot of bamboo things in the classrooms. Every classroom has a bamboo blackboard, some bamboo desks and bamboo chairs. But every classroom has no windows, doors or walls. It only has a bamboo roof(屋顶).
Green School is very nice. Students are from 40 countries(国家). They have math, English, art and music. In their free time, all students grow fruit and vegetables around the school. And they also keep pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. A lot of food comes from their hands.
Come and have a look at our Green School. It’s a nice school.

6 . The United States has many different kinds of climate（气候）. On the west coast（海岸）, the temperature changes very little between summer and winter, but the north central states（中部各州）have a very different kind of climate. In these states, people wear light clothes during the summer, and they need heavy wool or fur clothes in winter.
In the southwest, the climate is quite warm during the winter, but hot in summer. In the eastern part of the United States, summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures. Summers are usually hot, and winters are usually cold. Spring temperatures are comfortably warm, and autumn temperatures are quite cool.
Years ago, people in the cold areas（地区）of the United States did not often get vegetables and fresh fruits during the winter. Today trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans “send their climate” to people in other states.

Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it.
We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life.

8 . Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man can’t make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and man need plants to live. This is why there are so many plants around us.
There are two kinds of plants, flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruits. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can’t see many non-flowering plants around you.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Thanks to the plants around us, we can live on the earth.
