With the aim of recycling used books and presenting them to children in the need, the students’ union will launch a campaign titled “Secondhand Books Donation” next month. To start with, donation boxes, that are about to be collected by the volunteers twice a week, would be placed in classrooms. In addition, what is also acceptable to take donations directly to your office on weekdays. Then, the collected book will be delivered to the primary students in remote but rural areas. This activity is great significance. Not only will the children get books to read, but also we will gain happiness by help others. So let’s participate active in it.
5 . In China, tea has become an important part of everyday life for thousands of years. As the tea-processing methods and tea culture have evolved over the years, tea sets have also changed to meet the practical and cultural needs.
During the Tang Dynasty(618~907AD), tea leaves were traded across the country and Asia. For the convenience of transportation and storage, tea leaves were pressed into bricks. To prepare tea, drinkers had to cut them into small pieces and boil them in heat-resistant teapots.
By the Song Dynasty(960-1279), drinkers started to turn the hard bricks into powders (粉末) that could be whipped (搅打) in a cup with boiled water. This whipped tea is most commonly associated with Japanese tea ceremonies today.
By the 1500s, tea bricks gave way to the form of rolled leaves. This innovation led to the invention and use of teapots as we know them today. These teapots originally came from the Yi Xing region of China and were soon copied throughout the world. Then Japanese teapot-makers moved the handle from the side to the top of the teapots.
Tea finally reached Europe in the 1600s, along with the necessary tea sets made in Japan and China. As English teapot-makers began to adapt the tea sets to their country men’s tastes, they eventually added a handle to the tea bowl because of the English habit of drinking hot black tea, which was consumed at higher temperatures. The size of teacups also grew to accommodate milk and sugar in their tea.
By the early 1900s, innovations in tea drinking became an American affair. The most revolutionary one was the tea bag, which was accidentally commercialized by Thomas Sullivan. He had been sending customers tea wrapped in silk bags. Rather than take the leaves out of the bags, as Sullivan intended, the customers put the bags into their teapots instead. Not only did the tea bags push the teapot back to the sidelines of tea service, they were also too large for teacups and led to the modern practice of drinking tea from mugs.

7 . Few sights fill you with nostalgia (怀旧) like the fireflies dancing at night.
Create a firefly habitat
Flashing lights are an important part in fireflies life. As the sun sets, male fireflies move around while flashing their lights to signal their interest. If a nearby female is interested, she flashes back from her position to the ground, and the males fly down to find her. “All of that has to happen for the next generation to survive,” says Lewis. “However, light pollution makes those scenes much harder to see. It’s like cutting a phone line. It really stops the romance.

10 . China’s Chang’e 5 spacecraft, tasked with bringing lunar rock samples to Earth, successfully landed on the Moon on December 1st, 2020. The 8,200 kg spacecraft, launched from China’s Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on November 23, 2020, entered the satellite’s orbit on November 28th, 2020.
Within 19 hours of landing, the probe (空间探测器) gathered about 2k g of rocks and soil by drilling almost 2 meters deep into the lunar surface using its robotic arm. The sample-filled jar was placed in the ascender vehicle (上升器), which left the Moon’s surface and entered the lunar orbit on December 3rd, 2020. Then, in a historic first, the ascender and Chang’e 5 orbiter spacecraft successfully came together on December 6, 2020, to complete the first-ever robotic rendezvous and docking (交会和对接) in lunar orbit.
“In terms of the space tasks that humans have performed so far, only the Apollo program missions have completed the rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit. However, uncrewed rendezvous and docking have never been done before us,” Peng Jing told Chinese media ahead of the attempt.
With the rock samples safely transferred to the return capsule, the Chang’ e 5 spacecraft continued to circle the Moon for a few days before beginning its 112-hour journey back to Earth. The spacecraft landed in the Ulanqab region of Inner Mongolia, China, on the early morning of December 17th, 2020. Up to now, China has become the third country, after the US and Russia, to successfully get back lunar rocks. More importantly, the 1.2 billion-year-old samples are the youngest-ever obtained from the satellite. The novel space souvenirs, the first collected in 44 years, can give scientists a better understanding of the Moon’s formation and provide important insights into how Earth and the solar system evolved.
1. What did Chang’ e 5 do after landing on the Moon?A.It drilled for rocks and soil. | B.It took photos of the surface. |
C.It sent data back to the earth. | D.It analyzed rock samples soon. |
A.To show that he takes great pride. | B.To introduce the Apollo program. |
C.To inform us of rendezvous and docking. | D.To compare the differences of two tasks. |
A.Explore more into the earth. | B.Store them as good souvenirs. |
C.Know the evolution of the moon. | D.Compete with the US and Russia. |
