On a cold winter morning, a poor boy called Howard Kelly was on his way to school. He was so hungry that he decided to beg (乞讨)for a meal at the next house. A lovely young lady opened the door and she brought him a glass of milk. He had it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe (欠) you?" "You owe me nothing," she replied. "Mom has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness." "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart," he said.
Years later the woman became seriously ill. The local doctor sent her to the big city, where specialists (专家) can study her illness. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation（会诊）. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went to her room. He came to know her at once and decided to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gace special attention to her and her illness.
After a long time, the lady was well again at last. Dr. Howard Kelly asked the hospital office to pass the final bill (账单) to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open because she had thought it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally, she looked, and the note on the side caught her attention. "Paid in full with a glass of milk."
Every living thing needs to reproduce. Reproducing means more members of your group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds (种子)to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this.
The simplest way is gravity. Many seeds are inside of fruit. When a piece of fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way.
Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its "wings" help it fly farther from the tree.
Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal's body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it's in a new place.
Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that attracts ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing.
a. They only eat part of the seed.
b. They help seeds fall from the tree.
c. They carry seeds to the underground home.
d. They pick up the fruit and move it far away.
e. They leave the rest of the seed underground.
If you have planned a trip during summer holiday, certainly you will want to share some photos on Wechat. Don't worry! Here are some tips you can follow to take wonderful photos.
Turn back and smile
While on the road, the moment you turn back with a smile is the most impressive (令人印象深刻的). Just walk away from the camera and do a turn-back for the most natural effect. You can also pretend (假装)to hear your name called, turn back, and run your fingers through long hair.
Look away from the camera
There are many ways for you to avoid looking at the camera. Looking down into the distance or looking out the window is a good choice. If there is nothing to see, you can also choose to close your eyes and enjoy this moment of quietness.
Are you a little shy when facing the camera? Taking a back view photo is a good choice, which can leave room for imagination and bring a different feeling as well.
Take a seat
If there are good places to sit down, please do it! You can pose (摆姿势) in a lot of positions with your arms and legs.

Can you get free plastic bags from supermarkets now? I'm afraid you can't. Things have changed. Our government is trying to make litter less, so free plastic bags can't be offered at shops and supermarkets in China now.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day. They are easy to break, and most of them can be used only once. And some people throw them away here and there. If they are burnt, they may cause bigger trouble. They may cause pollution for the environment. Also, they may cause illness for us. So people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping. Some students come up with a good idea. They make the shopping bags by themselves. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their responsibility to protect the environment.
①e to give sb. courage or hope
②r a duty to deal with sth.
They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones.
They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags plastic ones.
What is the best-selling book in the world. Is it the Harry Potter series or Secret Garden? According to the Guinness (吉尼斯)World Records, the Xinhua Dictionary is the world's most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.
In 1950, Chinese language experts, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit (编辑)the Xinhua Dictionary. There was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. Some hand scripts (稿件)were checked again and again like compositions, People's Daily reported. After three years, with the hard work of all, the first Xinhua Dictionary finally appeared. Today, 567 millions copies of the dictionary have been sold around the world. However, revisions (修订)to the dictionary go on to be made. So far, the Xinhua Dictionary has been revised 11 times. In order to keep up with the times, some popular and widely used Internet words are also added to the dictionary. For example, in the 11th edition, the expressions"晒工资 (show off salary)"and"晒照片 (show off pictures)"were included. All these efforts have made the "National Dictionary" of China.
The Xinhua Dictionary is so popular that it has become a useful tool not only for Chinese people but also for foreigners who are learning the Chinese language and culture.
