Once Patrick was passing through a village. One of his childhood friends used to live there. He decided to visit his friend. When he arrived at the house，he saw that his friend was living a 1 life with his two brothers. As they hadn't seen each other for a long time，his friend asked him 2 for a night. In the evening，Patrick noticed that the friend's brothers went to the backyard，picked legumes（豆荚）（来源）of their money.
At night，Patrick 3 sleep. He wondered how he could help his friend. Then 4 idea came to his mind. When 5 was asleep，he got up and cut down the tree. After that 6 ，he ran away overnight. In the morning，when the friend and his brothers woke up to see this，they were all angry 7 him.
Three years later，Patrick passed through the same village and 8 a visit to his friend's house. 9 to his surprise，this time，it had turned into a big house. The friend and his brothers invited Patrick inside and said "At first,we were angry. But now we understand 10 you did that. As long as we live with the support，we couldn't have progressed. "
In recent years，many parents choose to rent（租）a house near the school to accompany （陪伴）1 some people buy a house near the school. Whether parents should accompany their children in their study has become a hot 2 .
Some parents are willing to accompany their children. They think they can help their children focus more attention on study. They can prepare delicious and hot dishes 3 their children. If their children don't study hard they can remind and urge督促）them to finish their tasks. They can make their children's life more 4 .
Some parents think that there is no need to do so. It is not good for 5 their children's independence. What's more，it will influence their own work and rest. Some parents even 6 their own job. It will also take their more money to do so.
Every coin has two sides. 7 your children are weak and you're a stay﹣at﹣home mom，accompanying your children is a good choice. If your children have the ability to take good care of themselves，there is no need for you to do it. In a word, you should make a 8 ，according to your own situation.
However，Chinese parents and American parents have different methods of education. American parents' education style is more helpful to develop the children's independence. In 9 opinion，I think it is worth learning for Chinese parents.
Help your children develop good habits as 10 as possible. When you're not around，it's important for kids to take better care of themselves.

Happy Rain on a Spring Night
Good rain knows its time right；
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night；
Mute，it moistens each thing.
O'erwild lanes dark clouds；
In boat a lantern looms.
Dawn sees saturated reds；
The town's heavy with blooms.
（Translated by Xu Yuanchong）
This famous poem was written by a famous poet Du Fu（712—770）when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.
The first word， "good"，shows his joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it "knows" the right time to come. When the rain comes（雷）and lightning of summer storms，the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet（对句），the poet describes a peaceful scene（场景）to us. In the night sky，the poet starts to imagine（想象）. Tomorrow morning，the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom （盛开）after the rain.

A man was walking in the mountain when he met a lion suddenly. The hungry lion ran after him and the man ran away as fast as he could. He stopped at the cliff （悬崖）. He had no choice but to jump because he thought maybe he would be alive.
Then，he landed on a tree halfway down the cliff. "How lucky I am!" However，a tiger was watching him when he looked down. "Don't be afraid!Calm down!" he said to himself. At that moment he noticed two mice biting the tree. If the tree fell down
After that，he accepted the truth and decided to have a rest. Later，the lion came down the cliff（受伤）in the fight and finally left.
When the man opened the eyes，he happily found himself safe and sound.
Tom Canty is a boy who used to live in Pudding Lane，a very poor area of London. Tom's father sent him out to beg（乞讨）for money every day. But he is now sitting in the prince's place on soft silk cushions（坐垫）
When they arrive at the centre of the City of London，they leave the boat and Tom leads the line of nobles（贵族）. They walk through the streets to Guildhall. The Mayor of London and other important people are there to welcome them. After a short time，and soon everyone starts eating and drinking.
After dinner，more nobles enter the hall. They are wearing exotic costumes（异域服饰）and coloured hats. There are also musicians and singers who sing and dance with people around.
Young Tom watches everything with interest.
At the same time，outside the Guildhall，without having anything to eat the real prince Edward is wearing Tom's dirty old clothes. He wants to go in. "Let me in. I am Edward the Prince of Wales
A crowd of people are standing around him，laughing at him. This makes Edward even more angry. "I tell you. I am the Prince of Wales，" he continues
At that moment，a man comes to Edward and says， "You are not alone. My name is Miles Hendon and I am your friend now. "
The crowd laughs at Miles，too.
"____，"one man shouts and the others laughmore.
"Let's throw the dirty beggar in the water，" another man shouts.
Miles stands in front of Edward to protect him. He pulls out his sword（剑）but the people move forward.
At that moment a trumpet（小号）is sounded and the king's soldiers pass through the crowd. They have a message from the palace. The crowd run away. Miles lifts Edward up and carries him away from danger.

①As missing children get older，they become quite different from the faces in their last﹣known photographs，which makes finding the really difficult. Now AI（人工智能）can make it easier to match any found children to those old photos.
②Police can use software（软件）to age photos of missing people，but it seems to work best in adults
③Unlike adults ，the faces of children change greatly as time goes by，and matching photos of found children to old images（画像）（数据库）of missing children is difficult. "Even with a recent face image of a child，it is quite hard for a human to recognize（辨认），who the child is from a large data set of child face images，" says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University.
④Now Deb and his teammates have created an algorithm（算法）to work out the problem. They created a face﹣recognition algorithm on data sets，which have images of nearly 1
⑤AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2. 5 years earlier. The correct matching rate can be 80 percent. With one year between the two photographs，it was 90 percent correct at recognizing faces. This dropped to 73 percent after three years. The new AI might help to improve accuracy （准确性）of this kind of software
⑥Deb's next goal（目标 ）is to make the age gap wider. His team also hopes to develop an app to fight against the sale of children.

Video cameras are everywhere：schools，theaters and stores. But in recent years，they have entered our homes
Peter Earlier last year，I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. This affected （影响 ）my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching，I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home，the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. | Mary When I was in Grade 8，my parent set up a camera in my room. ____ Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home，they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn't have pillow fights. I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now. |
Traditional Chinese Medicine is like a treasure in Chinese history. It has been a part of Chinaover 3，000 years ago. Long ago，Chinese doctors had smart ways to out what was wrong with patients，like "looking，listening，and feeling your pulse（脉搏）. " They also had special ways to solve health problems（草药）and acupuncture（针灸）.
The ideas of Chinese Medicine a during the Warring States to the Han Dynasty for the first time. The Shennong Ben Cao Jing was the beginning to understand how the herbs could help us. It tells the story of an emperor who tasted hundreds of herbs. U ，he ate one that made him really sick. But his findings made a big to the history of Chinese Medicine and that's why we remember as "Shennong" or the God of Medicine. This book records 365 plants，and a lot of them are used in medical treatment even until today.
In the 1970s，people around the world started to regard Chinese acupuncture as a real way to help with health. In 2020，when COVID-19 was causing big trouble it helps people without any side effects（副作用）. More people everywhere are taking interest in Chinese Medicine. They're using it and learning about it. With China getting，Traditional Chinese Medicine is expected to be a shining star in the world of health.
