Chengdu is known for a “laid-back” city. A relaxing teahouse culture and a lively nightlife that mix beer bars and Sichuan opera shows contribute to their unique charm. Hundreds of Sichuan dishes and spicy hotpots sure impress visitors. If lucky enough, one can see mountains cover by snow from the city even in summer, which is one of the most amazing sight there. The city increased green space since 2009 as a result of an air pollution. With over 10 million tourists visit the city every year, Chengdu has so much to offer. Unless you have time, you may go there to explore it by yourself.

Yushu was struck by a violent earthquake in April 14, 2010. We were sleeping in the kindergarten while our teacher woke us up. She immediate took us to the playground which was not far from the teaching building. Although we didn’t know what had happened, but we were very frightening. When we ran to the playground in a hurry, a boy lost one of his shoe and cried. Our teacher were so patient that she tried to comfort her and helped to find the shoe. The boy stopped crying by the time his parents came to pick him up from school half a hour later.
3 . Sandstorms are among the most violent natural disasters. High winds lift dirt or sand into the air, causing damage, injuries, and deaths.
Put a mask over your nose and mouth. If you have a mask, put it on immediately.
Look for shelter (避难所).
Wait out the storm. Don’t try to move through the storm; it’s much too dangerous. Stay where you are and wait for it to pass before you attempt to move to a different location. If you can quickly reach such shelter before a dust storm reaches you, get there as quickly as possible and stay inside.
| A．If you don’t have one |
| B．After you wear a mask |
| C．Even a parked car will do |
| D．No matter where you live |
| E．Protect yourself from flying objects |
| F．Close all windows and doors, and wait out the storm |
| G．You’d better cover your face with your arm as you move |
4 . About 1,833 lives were lost in 2005 in Hurricane Katrina, one of the most terrifying storms in U.S. history. The government’s shortage of preparation and good measures to Katrina met with widespread criticism (批评), and the need for a more complete system to react to natural disasters appearing as one of the key lessons from the 2005 storm. The effect of Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico in 2017 shows that these lessons have not been learned: The storm, which hit the island last September, made tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans homeless, left over a million people without electricity for several weeks, and caused about $90 billion in damages.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on May 29 says that the Puerto Rico deaths related to Hurricane Maria are at least 4,654, over 70 times the previous official number of 64. The death rate after the storm was 14.3 per 1,000 persons, a 62% increase from the official rate for the same period in 2016, researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found. “The shortage of medical care was the main cause of high death rates in the months after the hurricane,” the researchers wrote.
There are three explanations for why so many people died after Hurricane Maria: the inactive action of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the poor health of Puerto Ricans before the storm, and the weak facilities and shortage of money for the health system before Maria’s striking the island. It is especially important to note that because modern medicine can treat people with chronic illnesses , the failure of a local health care system may be particularly threatening (威胁) to the post-disaster health of the affected population.
Hurricane Maria and other recent disasters have shown the need for health systems becomes more and more important. Our government should take action!

5 . You must have heard about jogging as a popular way of keeping fit, but what about plogging?
Plogging is a combination (结合) of jogging and picking up litter, from the Swedish phrase “plocka upp”, which refers to picking up rubbish. Plogging usually contains running outside, with a bin liner or carry bag, while picking up rubbish which is thrown on the ground. The idea of plogging is mainly about environmental protection as well as physical health — to care for Mother Nature as well as your body.
As a workout, plogging is more useful than simply running, because it provides more body movements by adding bending and stretching. As 2018’s hottest way of fitness, plogging has grown in popularity in more than 40 countries.
Have you recently noticed people carrying trash bags while jogging? Or their hands filled with old plastic bottles? You might soon! Because plogging is making its way to the United States. It has been popular among exercisers who are tired of rubbish along their way.
“I’m not going to just let litter sit there. I’m not going to just walk past that plastic bottle,” said Emily Wright, a plogger in California.“I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. It’s so easy to just bring the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that you’re doing a difference!”
Laura Lindberg, who lives in New York, said a few months ago she learned about plogging and had what she called an “aha moment”. She has been plogging for several weeks along the Hudson River. “It makes me feel good for so many reasons,” Lindberg said. “Plogging not only helps the environment, it’s quite good for my health.”
Plogging is an easy, affordable way to get fit and help the environment at the same time. To join the wave, all you need is a pair of sports shoes and a rubbish bag, so what are you waiting for?

6 . The Amazing Penguin Rescue
In the summer of 2016, the ship MV Treasure sunk, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins’ habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance of survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.
A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldn’t believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking(尖声叫). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasn’t easy. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.
While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis(危机) was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oil’s path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldn’t have enough resources to save them.
One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harm’s way? Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.
The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.

7 . Surfing: Famous Beaches, Famous Waves
North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii: Famous for being the birthplace of surfing
Wide, and beaches stretch nearly 20 miles along the Pacific Ocean. Between October and February, this surfing destination is suitable only for experienced surfers, as its big waves can reach 30 feet. In summer, the ocean can be almost completely flat, making it perfect for swimming.
Huntington Beach, California: Famous for the US Open of Surfing competition
This busy 8.5-mile-long beach attracts 8 million visitors a year for bodysurfing, boogie boarding (趴板冲浪) and board surfing at every level, beginner to expert. At night, the beach's fire pits draw families as much as the waves do during the day. The best time for surfers is winter, when the swells can hit 15 feet.
Jeffreys Bay, South Africa: Famous for being the setting of the classic movie The Endless Summer
This area of the ocean may contain the most consistent waves on the planet, with some up to 10 feet. The best waves are between late May and late August. The beach sometimes closes because of sharks, but at other times, surfaces are lucky enough to surf alongside dolphins.
Tamarindo, Costa Rica: Famous for being featured in the movie The Endless Summer II
This beach has waves up to 12 feet high, which are good for long boarders or short boarders, beginners or expense, with the best waves from April to July. Bodysurfing is not recommended because of offshore rocks. The relaxed atmosphere and nearly perfectly year-round weather make it feel like the California beaches of the 1950s.

8 . Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.
But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails (指甲) carefully every time you wash.
You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub (浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect (消毒) the tub immediately afterward.
Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw (生的) meat because it can carry germs (细菌) that cause serious illness.
And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.
Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.
Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned (被抛弃的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

9 . Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) opened on October 24, 2018. It's the longest cross-sea bridge in the world. The bridge is 55 kilometers long. It connects Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai. Construction (建筑工程) on the HZMB began in 2009. It is considered as one of the “seven wonders (奇迹) of the modern world”.
The HZMB is the only one in many ways. It can withstand wind speeds of up to 185km/h and earthquakes with magnitude (震级) of up to 8. It's designed to have a service life (寿命) of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges.
And It' s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel (隧道) and part island. In one section (部分), the bridge turns into a 6.7-km undersea tunnel. And the tunnel passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world's longest undersea tunnel for road traffic, allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel.
The HZMB makes it more convenient to travel between the three areas. It can shorten (缩短) the traveling time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai. People used to spend four hours, but now it takes about 45 minutes.
By making local cities and areas closer together, the HZMB helps the areas' development. It can develop the economy (经济) of Hong Kong, Macao and nine Guangdong cities.
