The 6-year-old girl, Ruby, lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was supposed to go to school close Io her home. But all the students in that school were white. Ruby was black. School leaders didn't want to accept her, so they made Ruby take a hard exam and hoped she would fail. But Ruby was so smart that she passed the test easily and was finally allowed to go to the school.

Ruby was excited about her new school. Bui when she and her mom arrived on her first day, she saw a crowd of angry people shouting very cruel things at the gate. They did not want a black child to attend the school. "I had no idea what was happening, " remembered Ruby. She thought the crowd was celebrating something.

Each day. Ruby went to school with four police officers who worked for the national government to protect her. The sight of this small girl with her big bodyguards moved the artist Norman Rockwell. He created a painting of Ruby. He called it The Problem We All Live With", It became a very famous painting.

Ruby grew up to be a civil rights activist. She worked to protect the rights given to all citizens by the government. She even went to the White House to meet President Barack Obama. They looked al Mr. Rockwell's painting. It hung outside the Oval Office.

"We should never judge a person by the color of their skin, " Ruby said. " That's the lesson I learned in first grade. "

Everything is made of something. Nothing is made of nothing.

Chemistry is about the smallest things that other bigger things are made of, and what happens when they change. The word chemistry comes from chemical, which is an example of one type of the very small things that other bigger things are made of. The words you are reading now are made of a dark liquid called ink (墨水), which is written on paper. The paper itself is made out of the chemicals that wood is made out of. Both the ink and the paper were made by different chemical processes. A chemical process is what happens when chemicals come together to make other chemicals, and therefore other things.

Cooking makes chemical changes. Your different ingredients are made of different chemicals, and when you put them together and make them hot and cook them, the chemicals change into new chemicals and the different ingredients make something new. That tomato sauce you're making is made of tomatoes, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Those ingredients each have their own chemicals and their own flavors, but now with your sauce you've made something different, something that has its own flavor, all the ingredients mixed together, all the chemicals mixed together, something new.

You can smell the chemical changes, too, as they go up into your nose, especially when you forget about your sauce and it doesn't just cook but bums and becomes black and has a really bad flavor. You can't make it better, either, because once chemicals change, they can't be changed back again.

Every time you're online, you are bombarded (如炮轰) by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their story.

Read these tips, and don't get fooled by fake news!

⒈ Check the source (来源)

Does it look real? Is the text well written? Fake news websites often use addresses that sound like real newspapers, but don't have many real stories about other topics.

⒉ Watch out for fake photos

Many fake news stories use images (图像) that are Photoshopped or taken from an unrelated site. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed. Or use a tool like Google Reverse Image search.

⒊

Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust. If you do find it on many other sites, then it probably isn't fake (although there are some exceptions).

⒋ Look for other signs

There are other methods that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS (全大写) and lots of ads that come out when you click on a link. If the news story makes you angry, it's probably designed to make you angry.

If you know these things about online news, and can use them in your everyday life, then you have the control over what to read and what to believe. If you find a news story that you know is fake, the most important advice is: don't share it!

Space suits don't just make astronauts look cool. Without these1suits, astronauts wouldn't be able to leave their spaceship. That is to say, they wouldn't be able to 2on the Moon or work outside the International Space Station.

Space is a 3 place for human beings. Firstly, there is no air to breathe. Secondly, space also has high levels of radiation (辐射), energy that can pass through our bodies and make us 4. Thirdly, some parts of space are really cold 5 other parts are very hot. So astronauts could die in just a few seconds if they 6 outside their spaceship without their suits. With a space suit, though, astronauts can move around in space for several hours.

Space suits keep astronauts 7 sealed (密封的) inside. A backpack sends O₂ in to let astronauts breathe normally. At the same time, the CO₂ 8 astronauts breathe out is sucked away. The suit also protects them from harmful radiation and fast-moving space dust. 9 the space suit is another suit that looks like a pair of tight pajamas (睡衣) with little pipes running through them. Water runs through these pipes to10astronauts because wearing a space suit can make astronauts very hot!

My stepfather sent me to work in London and I hated it and ran away. Then someone stole my money and I had to walk…" I felt weak and suddenly fell to the ground.

My aunt picked me up and took me into her sitting room. While I (eat), my aunt asked me a lot of questions. I was tired after the long day. Soon I fell asleep in a warm, (comfort) bed.

Several days (late) my stepfather, Mr. Murdstone arrived." David is a very bad boy, violent and lazy, maybe the (bad) boy in the world," he said (angry).

The prime minister was called to the palace. But he said that ___________ he had a lot of power, it didn't make him happy. He always worried that many people were trying to take his position. Then the banker came. "Oh, I'm afraid I'm not happy, either," he said," I have a lot of wealth, but 1 feel nervous when I think someone tries to steal my money every day. "
