Although we now have more free time than before, it seems that we don’t feel that way. We may often waste time on phones or other things. And lots of information and pictures make our minds tired. Then we don’t have enough time to relax. To fully relax, we need to make good use of our free time. Here are some useful ways.
Think about your activities.
Do you want to exercise, go on a trip or just relax yourself Think about the activities that you like to do in your free time. Plan your time well and make sure you can really enjoy yourself.
Try something new.
Don’t always play games in your free time. Do something more meaningful. You can try painting, cooking or something else. Doing something new can be an exciting way to spend your free time.
Put your phone away.
It’s important to put your phone away. If you keep it close to you, it can make your heart beat faster with all kinds of messages. This will make it harder for you to enjoy your free time.

It is a cold and dry winter morning. After you get up, you begin to sneeze (打喷嚏) and feel terrible. Could it just be a cold or the flu
A cold is usually easy to deal with (应对). Usually you feel better after a week. But the flu can be very dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can make people die.
Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine, it can stop you from getting the virus. Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small number of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies can help you.
Because the flu virus changes every few years, there are so many kinds of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one kind of flu can’t help us fight against all kinds of flu. So we need to get the vaccine every year.
However, good health habits may also help stop you from catching a cold or the flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to take exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you to be strong enough to fight against the flu.
11．A cold usually lasts (持续) for ______.
A．a day B．a week C．a month D．a year
12．What does the underlined word “vaccine” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese
A．疾病 B．疫苗 C．细菌 D．药品
13．Why do we need to get the vaccine every year
A．Because we may have a cold in winter. B．Because the flu virus changes every few years.
C．Because the flu can make people die. D．Because the flu is a kind of serious illness.
14．According to the text, the following ways can help stop us from catching the flu EXCEPT______.
A．eating healthy food B．washing hands often
C．taking exercise D．having enough sleep
15．What is the main idea of the passage
A．It tells us the danger of the cold. B．It tells us how to fight against the flu.
C．It tells us why we get sick in winter. D．It tells us how to make antibodies.

Hello, my name is Sarah. I was around lightning (闪电) while climbing a mountain in the Grand Canyon, but I was safe because I knew the following tips.
Outdoors If there is a thunderstorm (雷暴雨), try to find a low place to stay in until the thunderstorm is over. You can also go into a nearby house or a car. Make sure that the windows of it are closed. Do not stand under a tree or use an umbrella with metal (金属) things. If the lightning is around you, do a “lightning crouch” (蹲伏动作) with your heels (足跟) together and put your hands over your ears. Remember not to lie down.
Indoors During a thunderstorm, keep away from anything that is made of metal, such as TVs because lightning can come into the house through wires (电线). When there is a thunderstorm outside, don’t stand near the windows. And don’t take a bath when there is a thunderstorm. Never use the phone during a thunderstorm, because lightning can hit the phone line and travel through the line and hit you.

Judy is feeling upset because her parents aren’t happy with her grades. Although her grades were pretty good this term, her parents have very high standards. They often compare her with her cousin Kate, who gets better grades, plays the piano well, and often wins awards.

Lily suggests that Judy talk to her parents, because they might not know how she feels until she tells them. Judy is afraid she might cry during the conversation.

Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s seen everywhere. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. Research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on your health.
Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way
First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on.
Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better.
Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger.
If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier.

China has many wetlands (湿地) and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve (自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (鹤) in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent floods.

The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. It covers over nine million square kilometres across North Africa. 53 During the day, temperatures rise above 40℃, while nights can be very cold. It is one of the toughest environments on Earth.
The Sahara is as big as Canada but has very few people. Less than two and a half million people live there, most of them nomads. Nomads are people who have no permanent homes. They move from place to place, carrying everything they need to live. The nomads of the Sahara are called Bedouin, which means “desert people”. They depend on goats, sheep, and camels for food and transport. Water is the most important for them. They need water to live, so they must carry enough water or know where to find it. 54
A desert is not defined (定义) by sand but by the lack of rain. 55 Surprisingly, only 25% of the Sahara is covered in sand. The rest is rock and gravel (砂砾).
56 Later it turned into grasslands. Over time, it became the desert we see today. Truly, the Sahara is a place of history and change.
