After a few months' study in New York, I couldn't wait to go home. Some friends drove me to the airport. I didn't know that two of them wrote 1 and put them everywhere in my luggage (行李箱) on the way.
When I arrived at home and 2 my luggage, I found some 3 notes in my clothes. And they also put some in my bag. 4 during the next month, I would find an encouraging note 5 I was getting a pen or a book.
I put all these notes on the wall next to my bed. They 6 me the great happiness and they came from my 7 small love.
Yesterday I wanted to send some kindness to my 8 for his birthday. He has given so 9 to many people——family, friends and strangers——and I thought that a small of act of kindness is the 10 gift of all.
While I was trying to 11 what to do; I saw the encouraging notes on my 12. I took down some of them and walked 13 my neighbor's house, putting them 14 on the window, the door and the wall.
It made me smile to think of the good friends. They 15 these notes a few months ago and to see how the love would travel around my neighborhood.
Cartoons are like a window that let us see the culture (文化) of a country. For example, the popular Japanese manga Naruto (《火影忍者》) shows us life about ninjias. US cartoons such as Superman opened up the world to superhero (超级英雄) culture. While, for Chinese animation (动画)，we can not just see our traditional (传统的) culture,, like ink painting and paper cutting. It also offers us many different themes(主题)：family love, teamwork, heroism and so on.
Starting from 1926 when Chinese cartoons first said hello to people, Chinese animation has entertained (娱乐) us for nearly 90 years. Here are some of the great ones.

A farmer had a cow. He looked after this cow very well and one day when it was ill, he was very worried.
He telephoned the vet "What's the problem?" The vet asked him when he arrived.
"My cow's ill," the farmer said. "I don't know what's the matter with her. She's lying down and won't eat. She's making a strange (奇怪的) noise. "
The vet looked over the cow. "She's certainly ill. " he said, "and she needs to take some very strong medicine. "
He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, "Give her these. The pills should make her better. "
"How should I give them to her?" the farmer asked.
The vet gave him a tube (管子) and said, "Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That'll make it. "
The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried. "How's your cow?" the vet asked.
"No change," the farmer said, "and I'm feeling very strange myself."
"Oh?" the vet said, "Why?"
"I did what you said," the farmer answered. "I put the tube in the cow's mouth and then put two pills down it. "
"And?" the vet asked. "The cow blew first. " the farmer said.
Are we alone in the universe? Is there life beyond Earth?
On April 28th, 2020, China's radio telescope (射电望远镜) FAST, nicknamed "Eye of Heaven (天眼)"，began to look for alien life.
Radio telescopes can find signals from space. On Earth, our TVs and radios give out signals. Scientists believe that if aliens do exist, their technology would also give out signals like ours does.
Many radio telescopes around the world are being used to look for aliens. In 1977, for example, the Big Ear radio telescope in the USA found a strong 72-second signal from space. Many people believe it may have come from the intelligent life, but this is still a mystery.
FAST is the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope. It can find even the weakest signals from space. Scientists are excited about what it might find in the future.
If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don't, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends——let them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信号) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help. Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots. When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house——cover up to the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is——stay in one place.
