2 . Many of us spend time going around areas of water, like going for walks by rivers and lakes—or swimming in a pool, but if you see someone in trouble in the water, do you know how to help him or her?
A life-saving course can teach you how to help a person who has trouble in the water. What tools and methods should you use to save them and how to control your feelings when you’re around the water? These skills are usually taught in a swimming pool.
The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) provides courses in the UK. It has a program about water-safety for children aged between 8 and 12. It teaches things such as how to swim safely.
The RLSS wants everyone to know the water safety rules. These are to “stop and think” if the area has any danger. Always “stay together” with friends and family, and swim at a safe place.
In an emergency (紧急情况), call 119 and throw something that floats (漂浮) to the person in trouble．If you are the person in trouble, stay calm (冷静), float on your back and call for help.

3 . How do people greet (欢迎、问好) visitors? Some shake hands. Some say “hello” or “hi”. Some kiss (吻) each other on the cheek (脸颊). However, the world is made up of many different cultures. Some cultures have unique customs.
Tibet (西藏), China
People welcome guests by presenting them with a long narrow scarf called a “hada”. You take it gently in your hands and make a bow (鞠躬).
Tuvalu (图瓦卢)
You’d better be clean and smell nice all the time when you are in Tuvalu. Their welcome greeting is to press their face to a person’s cheek and then breathe deeply!
Kenya (肯尼亚)
Perhaps this is the longest welcome greeting you’ll ever receive. In some tribes (部落) of Kenya, people receive visitors by dancing the “adamu”—the jumping dance. The dancers often try to make the highest jump. Sometimes, they also offer a mixture of cows’ blood (血) and milk to visitors.
Thailand
Thai people welcome visitors with a “wai”. They press their own hands together and say “Sawasdee ” before bowing their heads.

On every weekend, take a piece of paper and write down the title “My Schedule (计划)”. Under it, you write the days of the week. Next to the days you can write what you should do. You should give yourself enough time for study and some time for activities you like to do.
In class, you have to listen to the teachers carefully. Also, try to answer the questions he asks in class and talk about your ideas. You will be someone interesting for the teachers and someone special for your classmates.
Try to make friends with your classmates. If they don’t like to make friends with you, it’s fine. Notice if there is someone whom you feel you can be friends with.
If you want to do something or you feel bad these days, you can discuss it with the friend you trust. It is very helpful to have a best friend who can reach for your hand and touch your heart.

6 . Have you ever felt like you needed your own space? Sometimes we all need to be alone. Plants need to have their own space, too. You can walk away or shut your door when you want to be alone, but what can plants do? They can’t walk or run anywhere. They use allelopathy (植化相克).
All plants need water to grow, but in some dry places there isn’t much water, so the plants have to use allelopathy to keep on living. Also all plants want to have as much soil for their roots to grow in as possible, and one way to do this is to make other plants’ roots die by using allelopathy. Finally, all plants need sunlight to live. If other plants grow nearby, their shade means less sunlight, so the plants use allelopathy to stop other plants from growing too close to them.
Here’s an example — pine trees. Each year the needles (针叶) from pine trees fall to the ground. These needles that cover the ground have a kind of acid (酸) in them. The acid doesn’t hurt the pine trees, but it won’t let other plants grow.

8 . There must be many teachers in your school life. Would you like to describe one of your teachers in a word?
| Zhang Miguo, 12, Henan If I use one word to describe Ms. Li, I think it would be helpful. When I first came back to China from the US in 2021, I was quite worried to start the 8th grade because I was so behind on all the subjects, especially Chinese. What’s more, I was going to a new school. I feared that my classmates would be cold toward me. But it was not that bad. My Chinese teacher, Ms. Li, did her best to help me catch up with the rest of the class. She lent me her 7th-grade teaching notes and helped me a lot. She always had faith (信心) in me that I would make it. She never gave up on me, and for this, I will be forever thankful for what she did for me. |
| Zhang Tao, 13, Chongqing Mr. Lu is my English teacher. He is only 25. I like him because of his humorous (幽默的) teaching style. He likes to do some warm-up activities in class by telling jokes. One day, he asked my deskmate John and me to role-play a conversation. I played a waiter while John played a guest. When my deskmate asked me how much a bowl of noodles was, I told him that it was 100 yuan. After we finished the role playing conversation, Mr.Lu told the class not to spend money in this restaurant because the waiter was too greedy (贪婪的). Everyone was made to laugh by his words. As he expected, this helped us remember the English conversation well. |

9 . 5G technology would be widely used by 2020, causing some experts to say the “5G epoch” is coming. Yet, when reporting about 5G, many reporters only described it as a “much faster” technology than 4G. As a result, what people know about 5G is that they could “download a movie within one second”.
Actually, 5G technology has many more advantages than 4G besides the speed. It can be used for at least two purposes—for connecting everything and removing delays (消除网络延时).
Connecting everything is one of the strongest functions of 5G. It makes the Internet Things possible. Take driverless smart cars as an example. 5G technology can connect all parts of a transportation system including traffic lights, CCTV cameras and cars to build up perfect coordination (协调). In this way, these cars can avoid obstacles (障碍) and move on driving routes, which will help improve self-driving technology. And removing delays might be useful especially in online games. Factories can produce more macro base stations to allow more people to use. The more users, the lower cost. Therefore, 5G technology won’t cost as much as they thought.
1. The underlined word “epoch” in Para 1 means ________.| A．technology | B．age |
| C．equipment | D．sign |
| A．it makes the self-driving car run much faster. |
| B．it helps to connect the cars with the Internet |
| C．it helps the cars avoid obstacles and move on driving routes |
| D．it helps the cars control the traffic lights and CCTV cameras |
| A．people can pay less for 5G | B．5G can be compared with 4G |
| C．the “5G epoch” can come sooner | D．few people can enjoy the 5G technology |
| A．people know a lot about 5G |
| B．5G is much faster but more expensive than 4G |
| C．connecting everything is the strongest function of 5G |
| D．online game players can enjoy continuous high speed of 5G |
| A．The “5G Epoch” is coming. | B．The latest 5G products have been invented. |
| C．5G costs less with higher speed. | D．5G is more than about high speed. |
10 . When spring is in the air, everyone looks forward to seeing the beautiful and eye-pleasing flowers and plants. The following flowers and plants might not be so eye-pleasing, but are certainly eye-catching!
Lady’s Slipper This flower is amazing. It looks like a shoe. To be more exact, it is like a lady’s slipper. That’s how it gets its name. Although it was once found across Europe and the UK, now Lancashire in England is the only place where this plant can be found. The flower was so unusual that people picked almost all of them. Besides, it is one of the most difficult plants to grow. Fortunately, strict rules have been made to protect this endangered plant. |
Hot Lips When you see a plant like this, don’t get shocked! No, they are not a woman’s lips! You can find these plants in countries with tropical (热带的) rain forests, such as Colombia, Costa Ricaand Panama. Because of the cutting down of trees, these unusual plants have become endangered. |
Black Bat Flower The black bat flower is an unusual flower that grows in the wild and tropical forests of Yunnan Province in China. It is famous for its bat-shaped black flowers. It needs special environmental conditions to grow. This is the reason why it is an endangered plant. You can consider yourself lucky if you actually see one of the plants mentioned above. After all, they are all endangered and disappearing from the earth. Hopefully, there are other unusual flowers that are left and undiscovered, because the world is full of surprising things! |
