When Sammie Vance was eight, she learned about Buddy Benches (伙伴长凳) from a video. The video showed how these benches helped the children who are 1 . "If someone is sitting alone on the bench, another person can walk to him and ask him to play. "Sammie 2.
Sammie thought her school could use a Buddy Bench, so she and her mom had a talk 3 the headmaster, Sammie 4 the idea of making a bench out of bottle caps (瓶盖)that would help kids and the environment, Her headmaster liked this 5, too.
Sammie painted a picture that showed how a Buddy Bench works. She and her mom put it on the Internet to ask friends and family to keep bottle caps, Some businesses (公司) also 6 some bottle caps for them.
Sammie needed 180 kilograms of bottle caps to make one bench. In just two months, she 7more than 540 kilograms—enough to make three Buddy Benches! She made some benches8 sent them to several schools.
After reaching her goal (目标), Sammie made a new 9 —" Buddy Benches everywhere" She continued to get bottle caps to make benches. She also allowed kids to make Buddy Benches with 10. A few years later, there were benches in a lot of schools.
"Are you sure it is alive (活着)?"asked Jack. "I don't see it 1 . "He was looking at a sloth (树懒). I moves so slowly that people can not find it and it always looks asleep. "
It is the slowest-moving mammal (哺乳动物)in the world" the 2, Alex who has looked after the sloth for six years in the zoo told Jack. "It can't walk. On the 3, they move hand over hand slowly. This makes them easy to catch. They stay in the trees to 4 themselves from bigger animals. "
"So how slow is it?" Jack asked. Alex told Jack to 5 where the sloth was. And then Jack saw that it was 6 a branch (树枝).
Then Jack went to lunch. He ran quickly and couldn't wait to see the sloth after lunch and expected to see the 7. It only moved past the branch! Jack was 8.
"See, said Alex. "We can 9 how fast it moves. A sloth on the ground can only move 6—8 feet per minute. In a tree, a sloth can move 10 . It can move 15 feet. "

Sore necks are very common these days. How to avid (避免) a sore neck? Here are the things you should know.
Take precautions (预防措施) after an unusual activity. Many people report having a pain in their necks after doing something that they don't often do, such as a new kind of exercise or packing up and moving.
If you know you've done something that puts you at risk, massage (按摩) your neck and take a warm bath before bed.
Keep your feet on the floor. This will often depend on how high your chair is, so adjust (调整) it in time to achieve good results.
Change your posture often. Sitting in one position for long periods of time is not healthy. Sit with your back straight for most of the time. Take a 5—minute break if you can and walk around every hour.
Exercise. Find something-swimming, running or climbing-that makes you excited and feel alive. Make it into a usual way. Your body will feel better and your mind will feel more relaxed.
A long time ago, floods（洪水）often happened. The food buried（掩埋）the lands and broke the houses. People felt that they were living in danger every day.
The flood really hurt a lot of people, so people began to think about how to solve this problem. At that time, a man named Gun led people to control the food. All he did was to build the dam (坝) to keep the water out of villages.
Nine years later, there were still floods. His son Yu went on controlling the flood. In order to control the flood, Yu didn't return home for thirteen years. In the past thirteen years, he ran everywhere, passing by his home three times. But he never walked into it to have a look. In his opinion, nothing was more important than what he was doing.
Yu learned from the experience of Gun's and came up with a better way to control the flood. Together with many people, he dredged (疏浚) many rivers. So the flood could pass through the rivers and then go into the sea. The flood finally died down and people moved their homes back.
Maybeth Hearn, from the USA, was a 10-year old girl. She asked her parents if she could train a dog to become a guide dog. She didn't know that it would turn into a lifelong mission (终身使命) for her.
When young Hearn started training her dog, she met some problems. Her mother didn't like dogs and her father told her the training would need a lot of money. But Hearn didn't give up. Through hard work, on a sunny summer day in 1962, Hearn took a black dog home and began training it. In more than 50 years, Hearn trained 56 dogs on her own.
But Hearn, who was a high school teacher, did more than that. She inspired (鼓舞) her students to train more dogs. Since 1992, her students have trained 170 dogs.
"Can you imagine a classroom with 30 kids and 21 dogs that are less than one year old?" Hearn Said.
The dogs then move to certified (持有证书的) trainers who work for Guide Dogs for the Blind. After being trained for some time, they finally become real guide dogs. Guide Dogs for the Blind thinks highly of Hearn's and her students' work.
Hearn's work not only helps blind people, but also teaches her students the importance of giving back to society (社会).
When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward (奖励)?I is common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that housework is not worth doing unless they get something in return. Kids wont sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also says, "A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all should play our part in keeping our home clean. "
Other people don't think so. They believe that rewards encourage kids to do more chores. Rewarding them also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn that they need to work to make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster, With the app, kids get points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.
So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the world's four oceans. The Coral Sea (珊瑚海) is in the Pacific Ocean and is home to one of nature's greatest wonders, the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁) . And the reef is now in danger.
It is the world's largest coral reef system (系统) . That is made up of almost 3, 000 different corals. The reef is home to 400 kinds of coral animals and over 2, 00 kinds of fish. Much of the life in the ocean calls the reef home.
However global warming (全球变暖) is causing a worse condition in the Great Barrier Reef. Rising ocean temperatures cause coral to run out of the algae (海藻) . The algae not only live in it, but also are the main food for the coral. Without it, the coral is sill alive but is slowly becoming dead.
As even humans depend on coral reef systems for food, the death of the world's largest coral reef system would be bad for the planet, Scientists hope they can help stop the global warming and protect nature's wonders like coral reefs.
When the world fought against the COVID-19, many museums took action to remember life under lockdown (封锁):" When we knew there was going to be a lockdown, we talked about what we could collect for the future, "said Beatrice Behlen. The Museum of London then began a plan which asks Londoners to give it things that could show their life during the COVD-19. I could be something about a new skill they have learned, such as cooking or making masks for medical workers.
What about people's feelings, such as sadness, fear, hope and love during the lockdowm? How could they be collected? The Museum of Home, also in London, got an idea. It was asking people to send it videos. One family had recorded how they set up a screen in front of their table so they could share a meal with other family members through the Internet.
In Sweden, the Nordiska Museet, the country's largest museum of cultural history, was collecting information about how children' daily life had changed and how they thought about the future. In Austria, photos of a birthday party in lockdown were being collected by Vienna's Wien Museum.
