After a whole week of rain, we finally had a comfortable, beautiful summer day outside. My family and I were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys and a couple of guitars. We saw huge piles of clothes and even a piece of furniture (家具) or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine.
Seeing all of this brought back memories of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was a talented yard sale shopper. I used to hate going to them until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there. After that, I always browsed (浏览) the books until it was time to go and sometimes my mom would buy me one too. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books. To me, they were more priceless than new ones.
Why do we have yard sales We get rid of our old things and we buy "new" old things. But it certainly isn't for the money. It's yard sales that bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect with kindness and our love for all the old stuff (物品).
I think yard sales teach us something about life too. We can't really own anything here, after all. All we get is to have the stuff for a period of time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on.
1.According to Paragraph 1, what did the writer see in the yard sale
A. New toys and several guitars. B. Different kinds of old books.

A. She sold books in the yard sales.
B. She hated going to the yard sales.
C. She liked shopping in the yard sales.
D. She loved reading books in the yard sales.
3.Why do people love yard sales
A. Because they can talk with shoppers.
B. Because they can sell all the old things.
C. Because yard sales can bring them together.
D. Because yard sales can help them make money.
4.What does the writer think about yard sales according to the last Paragraph
A. It is relaxing to do some shopping there.
B. It is impossible to really own anything there.
C. It is great to buy some priceless old books there.
D. It is wonderful to see smiling people talking there.

Spider-Man is often thought of as one of the best superheroes of all time. But did you know that he almost wasn't created
Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was a different kind of superhero from what had come before. He was a teenager who had everyday problems. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn't have to worry about real-life problems like paying bills and caring for an old relative. They flew in the sky and fought aliens (外星人). Stan Lee was about to change that.
When Stan told his boss about Spider-Man, his boss said it was "the worst idea" he'd ever heard, reported the Vintage News. For a time, it seemed like that was the end for Stan's friendly neighborhood hero. But then, Stan had an idea. One of Marvel Comics' books was getting canceled. According to Stan Lee, "Nobody cared what you put inside a book that was going to be killed."So, Stan Lee teamed up with artist Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man's iconic (标志性的) look. Together, they put Spider-Man onto the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a huge hit. The issue, showing the superhero on its cover, was a bestseller. And so, Spider-Man was given his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most be loved fictional (虚构的) characters of all time. So, if you have an idea that you think is great, don't give up!

In the 13th century the famous Italian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was paper money. In Western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will
not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So, can we save paper We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs but not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all try our best, we can help protect trees. And we should do it now before it is too late.

During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to ' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to call my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."

It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild parrots came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The 'Mom' parrot in the cage was soon hoping. But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' parrot built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' parrot. 'Baby' parrot would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily."

There are some popular family videos that are being posted on Chinese social media these days. In these videos, a young child calls out to his or her mother or father; the parent comes into the room smiling, turns around and calls out to his or her own parent; the grandparent then comes into the room smiling and calls out to his or her parent, the great-grandparent. This kind of family is called "four generation (四世同堂)" in China.
It started on Douyin and has been popular in social media in other countries. People from all over the world have talked much about the videos and even made their own. The videos also make some people remember their family members who have been dead. "Because of the video, I will visit my grandmother this weekend," a Twitter user wrote. "I have to say that family love is usually a strong value in China," wrote Justin. The "four generation" videos not only touched foreign viewers, but also gave them a deeper look into Chinese family values.
In most East Asian cultures, it is common for many generations of a single family to live together. This is called a big family. In most Western countries, most families are small families, or families that are made up of just children and their parents.
In Western culture, privacy (隐私) and independence (独立) are highly valued. Kids usually move out of the house after they turn eighteen. Many of them borrow money or work part-time jobs in order to pay for college. If they choose to keep living with their parents after growing up, it can be seen as a failure. Although family structures in the East and West may be different, the love between family members is common. That might be why the "four generation" videos have won so many hearts around the world.

After a whole week of rain, we finally had a comfortable, beautiful summer day outside. My family and I were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys and a couple of guitars. We saw huge piles of clothes and even a piece of furniture (家具) or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine.
Seeing all of this brought back memories of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was a talented yard sale shopper. I used to hate going to them until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there. After that, I always browsed (浏览) the books until it was time to go and sometimes my mom would buy me one too. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books. To me, they were more priceless than new ones.
Why do we have yard sales We get rid of our old things and we buy "new" old things. But it certainly isn't for the money. It's yard sales that bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect with kindness and our love for all the old stuff (物品).
I think yard sales teach us something about life too. We can't really own anything here, after all. All we get is to have the stuff for a period of time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on.

Spider-Man is often thought of as one of the best superheroes of all time. But did you know that he almost wasn't created
Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man in 1962. He was a different kind of superhero from what had come before. He was a teenager who had everyday problems. Back then, superheroes were strong grown men who saved people. Teenagers were helpers. The heroes didn't have to worry about real-life problems like paying bills and caring for an old relative.

Together, they put Spider-Man onto the 15th and last issue (期) of the comic book Amazing Fantasy. Spider-Man was a huge hit. The issue, showing the superhero on its cover, was a bestseller. And so, Spider-Man was given his own comic book, The Amazing Spider-Man. He has become one of the most be loved fictional (虚构的) characters of all time.

In the 13th century the famous Italian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was paper money. In Western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So, can we save paper We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs but not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all try our best, we can help protect trees. And we should do it now before it is too late.

The first story is from Ray. "I hates my cat, Tiger, because when I use my iPad, it takes my attention away. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. 'What's he up to ' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to call my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."
The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild 'MomV parrot from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage.

Zibo It is in Shandong. People all over China travel there to taste it. Zibo barbecue offers a special dining experience. On each table is a small grill (烤架). People need to cook on the grill by themselves. When the food is ready, you put it onto a small pancake (薄饼) and then add a spring onion before eating.

There are some popular family videos that are being posted on Chinese social media these days. In these videos, a young child calls out to his or her mother or father; the parent comes into the room smiling, turns around and calls out to his or her own parent; the grandparent then comes into the room smiling and calls out to his or her parent, the great-grandparent. This kind of family is called "four generation (四世同堂)" in China.
It started on Douyin and has been popular in social media in other countries. People from all over the world have talked much about the videos and even made their own. The videos also make some people remember their family members who have been dead. "Because of the video, I will visit my grandmother this weekend," a Twitter user wrote. "I have to say that family love is usually a strong value in China," wrote Justin. The "four generation" videos not only touched foreign viewers, but also gave them a deeper look into Chinese family values.
In most East Asian cultures, it is common for many generations of a single family to live together. This is called a big family. In most Western countries, most families are small families, or families that are made up of just children and their parents.
In Western culture, privacy (隐私) and independence (独立) are highly valued. Kids usually move out of the house after they turn eighteen. Many of them borrow money or work part-time jobs in order to pay for college. If they choose to keep living with their parents after growing up, it can be seen as a failure. Although family structures in the East and West may be different, the love between family members is common. That might be why the "four generation" videos have won so many hearts around the world.

A. It tells popular families in China.

Do you play with your phone before bedtime You may want to read a book instead. According to a US study, looking at screens at night can cause(引起) us to sleep poorly.
In the evening, our bodies make melatonin(退黑素). Melatonin helps us feel sleepy and relaxed. It is an important part of our sleep cycle(周期). Our electronic screens stop that cycle from working normally.
Why Phones, computers and TVs make blue light. Blue light stops our bodies from making melatonin. Even just a little bit of blue light can have an effect(影响). Eight minutes of blue light can keep your brain "awake" for another hour, according to the study. Your brain won't have a good rest.
It's even worse if you play an exciting game before bed. Games make our hearts beat(跳动) faster, so we have a harder time falling asleep. Then, when we fall asleep, we don't get as much "deep sleep" as we need.
Use these tips to get a good night's sleep:
●Take a warm shower or read a book.
●Sleep in a dark, quiet room that is not too warm or too cold.
●Count sheep. It's the oldest trick, but it can actually work!
