Mr White’s family decided to repair their home. Mr White bought the home two and a half years ago. Since the kids were growing up, he and his wife wanted to make some changes to the house.

They decided to knock down their living room wall to open up the space. When the wooden walls were removed, they were shocked to find a lizard stuck in the small space between the walls. The lizard’s foot was stuck(插入) by a nail, which was hammered(釘) from the other side of the wall.

Mrs White reminded him that they hammered a nail to hang up their kids photo. However, they questioned how the lizard had stayed alive so long without moving from that place. So Mr White stopped his work and watched the lizard: what has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn’t know from where another lizard appeared carrying food to the stuck lizard’s mouth. That was a real surprise! This act was heartwarming, and he was moved deeply by the little animal. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for more than two years! The lizard carried the hope of survival, even in a difficult situation.

Both lizards had never-ending hope for each other and carried their hearts with love and care. Such love, a beautiful love!

Such love happened with this tiny animal. Why can’t we humans always carry that kind of love in our hearts? Life is full of all kinds of difficulties. What we can do is to give our hands to the one in need and share our love. Sharing is caring.

In 1993 the UN decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something everyone must have around the world.

The human body is 60% of water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. We also need water for cooking. We have toilets in our houses and when we brush our teeth or have a shower, we use the bathroom. Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow.

We are lucky enough to have clean water whenever ( 無(wú) 論 何 時(shí) ) we want, but this is not the case for many

people around the world. Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? And do you know that 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets? That’s about 1 in 3 people in the world.

If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, it is easy to catch diseases from the bacteria (細(xì)菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹瀉) from dirty water. In some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.

For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from a plane to the ground. At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance (距離) carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.

As Cheerful as Cheerful Can Be

Miss Dinsmore lived alone in a little gray house. “It’s a nice little house,” she said. “But I wish it looked more cheerful. Maybe I should paint it bright, pretty color. 【1】. She saw lots of cheerful colors there, but she didn’t know which color to choose.

Finally she got an idea. “I’ll paint picture after picture of my house with all these colorful colors. Then I’ll choose the one I like best.” Miss Dinsmore bought all the colors home. She painted a pink house. 【2】. She painted a red one and a yellow one. She painted one with flower boxes under the windows, and she painted...

She hung each picture she painted on the wall. 【3】. She still couldn’t decide which color to choose. One day, a neighbor came by while Miss Dinsmore was painting. Her neighbor liked the pictures of the houses so much that he told the whole town. 【4】 . “What pretty pictures,” everyone said. “And what a nice house you have.”

Now the little house was often full of people looking at the pictures, drinking tea, talking, laughing and having fun. Miss Dinsmore smiled and said, “It’s a nice little house. 【5】, too---especially when good friends came to see me. It’s as cheerful as can be.”

Chinese Culture

While China is almost the same size as the US in area, it is home to about 1.3 billion people. It has a special culture with a very long history.

Chinese Food

Food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The most obvious(明顯的) difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.

Chinese New Year

The Chinese calendar(日歷) is called a lunar(陰歷的) calendar. It is not the same as the one used in the US. New Year’s Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year’s Day sweeps away all the old year’s bad luck.

Chinese Zodiac(生肖)

The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve-year cycle(循環(huán)). Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2016 is the Year of the Monkey.

Chinese Language

Chinese is a complex(復(fù)雜的) language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character represents(代表) a word and also a meaning. Unlike English, there are no spaces in Chinese writing. Besides Standard Chinese, or Putonghua, Chinese people speak six other forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects(方言).

【1】Is tea a favorite drink in China?

【2】What is the Chinese calendar called?

【3】How many years of cycle does the Chinese zodiac follow?

【4】What does a Chinese character represent?

【5】What does the passage mainly tell us about Chinese culture?

We all know the sun is important. It provides life for plants, animals, and people here on Earth. But how does the sun do that? It’s the sun’s energy that makes life on our planet possible.

Energy from the sun is called solar ( 太 陽(yáng) 的 ) energy. It comes in the form of light or heat. Solar energy is what makes you feel hot when you sit in the sunlight. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. Houses are built with windows so that sunlight can get inside and provide heat. The sun’s energy can also be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass ( 放 大 鏡 ), your parents have probably warned you about leaving it in the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn things under it, causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun in the form of heat is called solar thermal (熱的) energy.

We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity ( 電 能 ). This is done with solar panels. Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars. But what happens when groups of clouds block the solar panels? Does this mean that solar energy can only be used on bright sunny days? Solar panels can have batteries ( 電 池 ) with them to store ( 儲(chǔ) 存 ) electricity for a rainy day. When the sun is shining, the electricity flows from the solar panel into the batteries. This stored electricity can be used at night or on cloudy days.

Do you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be? In fact, in the last few years, solar panels have become much more affordable for people to use. Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used since the beginning of tie, imagine what we could do if we used the sun’s energy to power our earth.

【1】What is the writer trying to do in this text?

A. To show the feature of the sun.B. To tell the importance of the sun.

C. To discover the secrets of the sun.D. To introduce the energy of the sun.

【2】What are solar panels used for?

A. To get heat energy from the sun.B. To get light energy from the sun.

A. easy enoughB. cheap enough

B. People began to use the sun’s energy thousands of years ago.

C. Batteries are used to store electricity for rainy days or nights.

D. A magnifying glass can burn things with solar thermal energy.
