Third, it is communication. When you have disagreement with your parents, you should communicate with them. By doing this, you can show them that you have the right to decide what to do.
Finally, it is company (陪伴). Just as kids need their parents’ company, parents also need company. Do you try to comfort (安慰) your parents when they feel down? Company is a good way to drive away the black clouds hanging over your family.

Hello, my fellows. We had a sharing on “We love reading” during our School Reading Month. Here is what we shared in our group.
According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery (抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in main big cities in China some schools have taught all unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.
Lin Li, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, give young students advice on how to deal with danger.
If you are robbed.
Keep calm. If you can not cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.
If you are in a traffic accident.
If a car hits you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.
If it is raining hard and there is lighting.
Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.
When there is a fire.
Run away as fast as yon can, put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.
Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
1. According to the passage,2. Self-protection isn’t
3. If you are robbed and can’t cry for help or run away, give your money
4. If a car hits you, you should not

Why do we use “shang cesuo” to mean “go to the bathroom” and “xia chufang” to mean “go to the kitchen”?
In ancient times, houses were laid out (安排) in a certain way. The door of the home would face south, with the bathroom located in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen located in the southeastern part.
On maps, north is usually at the top of the map, while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we say “上北下南” to refer to the north as shang (upper) and the south as xia (lower). So people would say they were going “up” to the bathroom and “down” to the kitchen because of their location.
Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to directions, but also social status (地位). Shang was seen to be noble (尊贵的), while xia stood for humility (谦卑). For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had lower status than the emperor.
What does this have to do with the bathroom and kitchen? In the past, men were seen as the “noble” workers of the family, while women were “humble (卑微的)” homemakers. Since women worked in the kitchen, the “humble” character xia was used to refer to the room.
But those associations (关联) in meaning have been lost over time.
回答下面 5 个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。
1. How were houses laid out in ancient times?
2. Where is “north” on maps?
3. Why would people say they were going “up” to the bathroom and “down” to the kitchen?
4. What did ancient Chinese use “shang” and “xia” refer to?
5. Who was seen as the humble homemakers in the past?

Thank you for listening. That’s all.
Green is an important colour in nature. It is the colour of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the colour of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe (成熟) or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns (角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues growing long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the colour used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy (嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature (生物) from outer space. It is an expression firstly used about 400 years ago by a British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone else has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else.
1. What does a greenhorn now refer to?2. Is the person with a green thumb good at growing plants?
3. Who works hard and helps to develop new kinds of rice and other grains?
4. People don’t use green to describe their feelings, do they?
5. When was the expression “the green-eyed monster” probably firstly used?
6. What kind of person do you think is a green-eyed monster?

People around the world are finding different ways to let their stress out during COVID-19. Some have tried running, gardening, cooking—but what about screaming (尖叫)?
Promote Iceland is encouraging people to scream out their stress. “You’ve been through a lot this year and it looks like you need a perfect place to let your stress out. Somewhere big and untouched. It looks like you need Iceland,” Promote Iceland says. “Even if you can’t travel to Iceland, you can also do that. Record your scream and we’ll play it in Iceland’s beautiful, wide-open spaces. And when you’re ready, come and let it out for real. You’ll feel better. We promise!”
The speakers are put at seven places across Iceland. People joining in the activity will receive(收到) a video of their scream. They will see that their scream is played in one of those places.
“Long-time indoor(室内的) living, loneliness(孤独) video meetings and disruption(干扰) of daily life have all increased(增加) people’s stress,” Promote Iceland explained.
Zoe Aston, a mental health expert(心理健康专家), even offered screaming tips, including choosing what kind of scream to use and how to scream to use and how to scream: stand with your feet apart, bend(弯曲) your knees slightly, relax your shoulders, and scream from your gut(腹部).
The activity is light-hearted, but Promote Iceland still wants people to take mental health problems seriously during COVID-19.
Questions:
1. Who encourages people lower stress by screaming out?
2. What will people get if they join in the activity?
3. What is Zoe Aston?
4. How many steps(步骤) are there if you want to scream out according to Zoe’s advice?
5. Do your knees or shoulders bend when you scream?
6. 书面表达。
