More than 140 hours after the earthquake, hundreds of Chinese rescuers are still working hard in the very hot weather (over 40℃). They don’t sleep much because they want to help as many people as possible. One man said the rescuers gave him hope to keep living.
Many local people are thankful for the help. A young woman whose father works for a Chinese factory said “Thank you for coming to help us.” Some other people also came to say thank you to the Chinese teams.
The weather is very hot and conditions (条件) are difficult, but the rescuers won’t stop. They keep hoping to find more survivors (幸存者) and help Myanmar go over this terrible earthquake. Their hard work and kind hearts are bringing hope to many people who lost their homes. Now, they have started to work again.

The world needs help to make it a better place. What can we do to give others a hand
Be kind to negative (消极的) people. When people face trouble, they get upset and lose heart for life easily. Then they become negative. If you want to help, be kind to those who need your help, care, and love. Through your kindness, you can change their ideas of themselves and the world, and become their light in the darkness (黑暗).
Volunteer in your neighborhood. If you’re looking to help others, volunteering is your best way. You can volunteer to help people facing difficulties in many ways. Also, you might bring out the best in yourself when helping others.
Share your experiences. Helping others isn’t just about giving money or useful things; you can also share your experiences to help others when they feel lost. Your real-life experiences can provide useful lessons to help them solve life problems.
Help around the house. Helping others isn’t only about helping strangers (陌生人); it’s also about helping your family. In a family, it’s not only a person’s job to do housework. Try to do more housework even without being asked. Spend some time folding your clothes, preparing dinner, and so on. No one at home should serve as your servant. You’re a family member, just like the rest. Show your great love and help your family.
So, tell me, how do you plan to help others
26. What can we know about negative people
A．They often give away money. B．They are kind to others.
C．They like to live in the dark. D．They aren’t sure of themselves.

四、任务型阅读
New Zealand (新西兰) is famous for sheep. People often say the number of sheep in the country is larger than that of people.
This is true! New Zealand is one of the few countries where sheep are more than humans. Up to June, 2024, there had been about 23. 6 million sheep and about 5. 3 million people. That means there were about 4. 5 sheep for each person.
In 1982, there were about 22 sheep for each person. At that time, farming sheep for meat and wool (羊毛) was very important to New Zealand’s economy (经济).
New Zealand is about the size of the UK, but it has far fewer people. This leaves plenty of space for sheep.
However, sheep numbers are dropping over the years. Wool prices are falling because many people now use synthetic fibres (合成纤维) instead of wool. Farmers are changing how they use their land and are focusing on things like dairy (乳品的) farming and forestry (林业) to make more money.
In 2022, there were fewer than five sheep per person, the lowest number ever.
Some farmers worry that New Zealand could lose its wool industry (工业) completely. The government is trying to help by encouraging people to use wool products, but farmers think this might not be enough.
Other countries, like Australia, also have more sheep than people. Their sheep numbers are falling too.
New Zealand and Sheep
Facts Information
Sheep population Up to June, 2024, each person has 46 sheep on average (平均)
In 47 Each person had about 22 sheep on average.
Reason for dropping Wool is becoming 48 because people use more artificial fibres than wool.
Farmers’ change Farmers are turning to 49 to make more money.
Government’s plan The government encourages people to 50 products, but farmers think it’s not effective.

How can we have a meaningful summer vacation
Hello, everyone! Summer vacation is coming!
First, we should finish our homework carefully and read more useful books to improve ourselves. Second, we can take exercise every day such as running or swimming to keep healthy. Besides, we’d better help parents do housework to show our love. What’s more, we can take a short trip with family to enjoy natural beauty. We can also do some volunteer work to help people around us. All these things can make our vacation full and meaningful.
