Justin was a city kid. He didn't know much about nature.
When he was little, his mom read 1 a book about a boy who went camping with his dad. The 2 were dark. There were no people or streetlights or buildings. It sounded terrible.
One day when Justin was 12, his uncle decided to take him 3. They started hiking after they parked at the edge of a forest. Uncle Moses knew4 about the woods. He told Justin the names of trees, and he showed him animal tracks*. It was kind of fun.
After a while, Uncle Moses chose a good place to spend the5. But to Justin, it was just a place with trees, rocks, dead leaves. When Justin asked his uncle for a tent, "Oh, there's 6 tent," smiled Uncle Moses. "I'm going to show you how to 7 a shelter*," He explained, "Once you know how to do this, you never have to be 8 in the woods. You'll know how to make yourself a safe, 9 place to spend the night." Justin almost told his uncle he would never be going into the woods again, but he decided to 10 it.
First, they found a nice, healthy11. After that, they looked for a big, fallen branch*with one end in a fork of the tree and the other on the ground. Next, Justin found more branches to make the sides of their shelter. The air got colder and it was all 12 in the woods when they finally finished their shelter.
"Try it out 13 I am making our campfire," Uncle Moses said to Justin. So Justin went into the shelter. It was warmand cozy14, smelling good. A while later, Uncle Moses said, "Time for15, Justin." But he got no answer. Justin was already sound asleep.
PHEW! It's so hot today. A group of animals are resting under a big tree. They are talking about how they like to cool themselves down during the hot summer.

The hippo: We hippos like to roll in mud to cool ourselves down, too. The dog: Mr. Hippo, your sweat is red. Do you sweat blood? The hippo: My clever friend, you are wrong this time. In fact, it isn't sweat. It helps to protect our skin from the sun and the dryness. The elephant: Wow, you make your own sunscreen! We elephants have our own fans! Our large ears can keep ourselves cool, just like fans. |
Wang Damin is a fisherman. Although he is over 65, he is very fit and still enjoys working.
Damin uses cormorants to catch fish. Cormorants are large black birds. They are good at catching fish because they can swim well. They can dive* down and stay under the water for up to two minutes.
Damin usually starts in the late afternoon and gets the cormorants ready for work. First，he ties* a piece of grass around their necks to stop them from eating big fish. Then when Damin's boat reaches the right place in the river, he pushes them into the river. Damin uses several ways to make more fish come. During the day, he jumps up and down on his boat. After dark, he puts a light on a post at the front of the boat. The cormorants bring the fish back to the boat. Then Damin takes the fish and throw them into a big basket. In this way, Damin can catch fish without nets.
Cormorant fishing was once used in lots of places in South-East China, and there were many fishermen in the area. But today, few young people are interested in it. In 50 years, perhaps there will be no more cormorant fishermen in the world.

Picture this: You're surfing on the Internet and suddenly find a website with interesting articles. Some are news stories. They want to share information. Others only look like new stories. In fact, they're advertisements*, or ads. They want to get you to buy something. How do you, the reader, tell the difference between a news story and an ad?
Back when I was growing up, it was easier. We got most of our information from newspapers. Big news stories appeared on the front page, and ads were boxed off and clearly labeled*. But on the Internet, the two often appear together. It can be hard to tell which is which.
That's why my research group did a study. My research team showed kids the home page of a popular digitalmagazine. We asked them to tell us which was a news story and which was an ad.
Most were good at finding some kinds of ads. "It has a coupon* code, a big company logo, and the words 'limited time offer,'" one student wrote about an ad on the site. So what was the problem for kids? Some ads look almost the same as real news stories. They have headlines and information. But they may also have the words "sponsored content". "Sponsored content" is a way of saying that something is an ad. Companies paid money for it to appear so that readers will see their stories, buy their products, and like what the company stands for.
As a reader, you have a right to know who's behind the information. So look for the phrase "sponsored content". (And look carefully. Sometimes, it will be written in small letters.) The Internet is a big sea of information. To use it well, we not only have to know how to swim but also how to stay away from the sharks. Learning to tell the differences between an ad and a news story is an important step to becoming Internet-smart.
Jo was the first to wake up on Christmas morning, but soon they were all awake and they went downstairs.
Mrs March was out. Meg looked at the presents for her mother which were in a basket under a chair, ready to bring out at the right time. "Where is Amy's bottle of perfume*?"
"She went to put some pretty paper round it, I think." said Jo.
Suddenly, they heard the outside door close.
"Here's Mother! Hide the basket, quick!" said Jo.
But it was Amy. She ran to the shop and changed the little bottle of perfume for a big one.
"I spent all my money to get it, and I'm not going to be selfish*any more!" said Amy.
Meg smiled proudly and hugged her sister. Then there was another bang from the outside door, and they pushed the basket back under the chair. The girls ran to the table, ready for their breakfast.
"Happy Christmas, Mother!" they shouted.
"Happy Christmas, little daughters!" said Mrs March.
Then the smile disappeared from her face. "Girls, listen. Not far away is a poor woman, Mrs Hummel, with a new baby. Her six children are in one bed, trying to keep warm. Without wood for a fire and anything to eat, they are hungry and cold. Will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?"
For a minute no one spoke. Then Jo said, "Mother, I'm so glad you came back before breakfast!" The girls quickly began to put their breakfast in a basket.
"I knew you would do it." said Mrs March, smiling.
She took the girls to a cold, uncomfortable little room. There they found a sick mother, a crying baby, and a group of children with white, afraid faces. The children were on the bed under a blanket, trying to keep warm.
The woman almost cried with happiness when she saw the girls. With wood for a fire, Mrs March gave the mother tea and hot food, then she dressed the little baby gently. The girls put the children round the fire and fed them like hungry birds.
Although the girls ate none of the meal, no one was happier than those hungry young ladies who gave away their breakfast on Christmas morning.

A/An ▲ Day in My Summer Vacation
The dog: We dogs pant to keep cool. Panting drives out hot air and brings in cooler air. It helps quickly evaporate water in our mouths to make our body temperature lower.
The pig: We are different. We found another way to cool ourselves down. We enjoy rollingaround in mud* on hot summer days. Mud keeps us cool longer than water on its own, because the muddy water evaporates more slowly.
