Along with the birds flying over the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan province, a forest police team has similarly been “migrating” since September and will stay in the mountains until March to prevent poaching and other wildlife crimes.
Nicknamed the “migratory police station”, the seven officers with the forest police station of Hongtupo, Nanhua county, carry extra clothing, quilts and daily necessities while "migrating" in the forests on an annual mission to safeguard the bird travelers.
Zhang Yueping, who has worked at the station for 17 years, said the Ailao Mountains, which are rich in biodiversity, are located along an important route for 430 kinds of migratory birds.
According to Zhang, some local villagers who used to live in extreme poverty hunted birds for food or as a source of income, which resulted in a “silent mountain” where no birds were singing.
Jobs usually occur at night, when “we brave the darkness and bumpy mountain road with no torchlight to catch poachers,” according to Officer Yang Zhengqiang.
Officer Liu Yan, who once worked at the station, said winter was the hardest time, because her quilt was never dry due to the high humidity (潮湿) in the mountains.
Despite the hardships, officers said their work is worthwhile, with the number of birds as well as the number of species in the forests increasing over the years. Due to the combination of officers and technology, all kinds of animals and plants have returned to the reserve. “The environment is improving year by year, and people's lives get better and they have stronger awareness of protection, making our jobs very fulfilling.” Zhang said.

As celebrated in the United States, the holiday of Thanksgiving usually centers on a big meal. Typical dishes include bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and above all, turkey. How did turkey become the centerpiece (最重要的菜) of this meal
It is often assumed that today's Thanksgiving menu originated in an event commonly considered as the "first Thanksgiving". There is indeed evidence of a meal shared between Pilgrim settlers and Wampanoag people in late 1621, but historians think it's not sure that turkey was served. They believe that the Pilgrims provided wild fowl (飞禽) . while the Wampanoag brought deer for meat. Passenger pigeons, ducks, and other birds may have been the main course. Turkey, if present, was likely a side dish.
In 1789, George Washington issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation (正式公告) , marking the first official celebration of Thanksgiving in the US. However, turkeys were not yet related to Thanksgiving. About 38 years later, the writer Sarah Josepha described a New England Thanksgiving, with a roasted turkey placed at the head of the table in her novel Northwood. In 1863, after President Abraham Lincoln announced Thanksgiving a national holiday, and turkey has since become a cherished tradition in Thanksgiving celebrations.
At that time, Americans didn't have access to supermarkets. But large numbers of wild turkeys lived on many people's land, making them easy to get for the big pared to more expensive meats, turkey also provided a much lower price and could feed larger groups of people because it weighed more. These made turkey a practical and appealing choice, contributing to its long-lasting popularity as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving feasts.
Today, turkey continues to stand as the star of the Thanksgiving feast, symbolizing tradition, warmth, and the cherished moments shared with loved ones around the table.
8、What is the historians' opinion about the original Thanksgiving meal
A. Turkey was unlikely to be served as a main course.
B. It was shared by two groups of Wampanoag people.
C. It was possibly started with deer meat as a side dish.
D. The food only included meat from some wild animals.
9、When was Thanksgiving first celebrated officially
A. In 1621. B. In 1789. C. In 1827. D. In 1863.
10、Why did turkey become popular as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving meals
A. It had unique cultural value. B. It tasted much more delicious.
C. It had more benefits for health. D. It was cheaper and easier to get.
11、Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How Did Turkey Became the Centerpiece of Thanksgiving
B. What Was the Centerpiece of the “First Thanksgiving”
C. Why Did We Start to Celebrate Thanksgiving Day
D. What Does the Thanksgiving Meal Symbolize
As Earth's climate continues to change, a plant's ability to adapt to its changing environment is important to its survival. Often, to stay alive, a plant must move locations by releasing its seeds, but plants are rooted in the ground and cannot move themselves. Instead, they are dependent on animals or the wind to carry their seeds to a new location.
Playing an essential part in an ecosystem (生态系统) , plants create resources like food and medicine for us human beings. A team of researchers developed the model to better understand how plants can stay resiliency (韧性) when facing challenges like climate change.
“Once seeds are released from a plant, we wanted to know how far they can go because as wind conditions shake, the seeds will be moved around differently because of various weights, sizes, and shapes,” says Binbin Wang, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri.
Changes in one part of the ecosystem can create a “snowball effect” on other parts. That's why understanding seed spread is important. Plants can only make this move once during their life—as a seed, says Lauren Sullivan, an assistant professor at Michigan State University.
“Understanding how plants move as seeds year-round is important for us to analyze how they'll be able to handle climate change,” Sullivan says. “This movement is also important for how we can increase diversity (多样性) in the ecosystem.” “We're now able to partner with researchers. This innovative approach can help us develop accurate models that are simple enough to make good predictions in a short time.”
The model, which makes predictions based on seed and plant type, plant height, and wind speed, can develop an entire year's worth of predictive data in just one or two days. As part of their future work, the team will develop educational programming for K-12 and college students. For example, they will provide opportunities for college students to explore how different disciplines, such as agriculture, biological sciences, and engineering, can work together to solve different real-world problems.
12、Why did the researchers develop the model
A. To learn how plants handle challenges like climate change.
B. To find out what helps seeds travel to different places.
C. To study the effects climate change has on plants.
D. To create more food and medicine resources.
13、Which of the following may not influence how far a seed can travel according to Binbin Wang
A. Its weight. B. Its location. C. Its size. D. Its shape.
14、What can we learn about the “movement” of plants from paragraph 4 and 5
A. It is caused by the change of the climate
B. It can happen during the whole life of a plant.
C. It has an effect on other parts of the ecosystem
D. It's hard to be predicted for the diversity of ecosystem.
15、What do the researchers plan to do next
A. Explore different disciplines for college students.
B. Work together to solve different real-world problems.
C. Develop educational programming for students to explore.
D. Make valuable predictions about the type and height of the plants
“Hey! The thermometer (温度计) reading shows 39℃ !” shouted Lily.
“What This is critical right ” questioned Bella as she touched Emily's forehead. “You are burning now. How do you feel ” she continued. “Terrible”, replied Emily with a weak voice.
Lily said, “I'll get her some medicine from the doctor and a sound sleep will help her get better I guess.”
Emily, Bella, Lily and Anna were roommates and friends. These four were always together. But Emily and Anna were much closer to each other. As Emily's father passed away when she was12 and lived only with her mother, she just considered Anna her family. So although Emily was surrounded by Lily and Bella, she needed Anna by her side. However, to her great disappointment, Anna wasn't there.
“Where is Anna Where has she gone ” asked Emily.
“She rushed out just now. But she didn't tell us where she went,” replied Bella.
Hearing Bella's words, Emily started to feel angry towards her friend. She had fever and was in pain. How could she just went out without any explanation She started thinking Anna was selfish and decided not to talk to her any more.
In the evening, Anna finally returned. But Emily just refused to talk to her until her mother called to ask about her health.
“How are you feeling, my dear ” asked Emily's mother.
“I'm much better now mom. But how do you know I'm having a fever ” Emily didn't know why her mother had known her illness.
“I called you this morning. I fell off the ladder when I was trying to repair the roof, but you didn't answer. Then I called Anna and told her what had happened. She said you were asleep because of the fever. And she just rushed to our house and took me to the hospital. But don't worry, the doctor had checked me. There is nothing serious and I just need some rest.”

20、Easy Ways to Reduce Bitter Taste in Any Food
Bitterness (苦味) is one of the essential flavors in our food, and lots of bitter foods are especially healthy. ① Don't worry, you're in luck! There are many ways to reduce bitter flavors and help you enjoy whatever meal is in front of you.
② Who doesn't love some sweetness in their food Again, think about coffee-there's a reason we like sweetening it a bit. The sweetness naturally covers bitter tastes. Add sugar or some honey to bitter foods and drinks to enhance the flavor a bit. But don't overdo it with the sugar!
Sprinkle (洒) some salt over your food.
Salt makes everything better, including bitter foods. The saltiness naturally counteracts (中和) the bitterness, so don't be shy about using a bit of salt in meals that are too bitter. ③ Throw them in some olive oil and salt before cooking to introduce new flavors.
Add some spice to your foods.
Good news for spice lovers! Spices mask bitter flavors. Add some spicy peppers or powders to your cooking, or sprinkle some onto your dishes for a little bit of extra heat. ④ Some other great spices include cayenne, red pepper, paprika, and chili powder.
Eat more bitter foods to get used to them.
You can actually teach your body what kinds of foods to like. If you just keep eating bitter foods, you'll eventually get yourself accustomed to bitter tastes. It might not seem fun right now, but it can make a big difference in the long term!⑤
Don't be afraid to experiment with flavors! You might have to try out a few different spices and herbs to find that perfect combination to mask bitterness.
A. Add much sugar and honey.
B. Cover the flavor with sweetness.
C. There are a variety of spices that work well.
D. Black pepper in particular helps counteract bitterness.

Nicknamed the “migratory police station”, the seven officers with the forest police station of Hongtupo, Nanhua county, carry extra clothing, quilts and daily necessities while "migrating" in the forests on an annual mission to safeguard the bird travelers.
Zhang Yueping, who has worked at the station for 17 years, said the Ailao Mountains, which are rich in biodiversity, are located along an important route for 430 kinds of migratory birds.
According to Zhang, some local villagers who used to live in extreme poverty hunted birds for food or as a source of income, which resulted in a “silent mountain” where no birds were singing.
Jobs usually occur at night, when “we brave the darkness and bumpy mountain road with no torchlight to catch poachers,” according to Officer Yang Zhengqiang.
Officer Liu Yan, who once worked at the station, said winter was the hardest time, because her quilt was never dry due to the high humidity (潮湿) in the mountains.
Despite the hardships, officers said their work is worthwhile, with the number of birds as well as the number of species in the forests increasing over the years.

As celebrated in the United States, the holiday of Thanksgiving usually centers on a big meal. Typical dishes include bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and above all, turkey. How did turkey become the centerpiece (最重要的菜) of this meal
It is often assumed that today's Thanksgiving menu originated in an event commonly considered as the "first Thanksgiving". There is indeed evidence of a meal shared between Pilgrim settlers and Wampanoag people in late 1621, but historians think it's not sure that turkey was served. They believe that the Pilgrims provided wild fowl (飞禽) . while the Wampanoag brought deer for meat. Passenger pigeons, ducks, and other birds may have been the main course. Turkey, if present, was likely a side dish.
In 1789, George Washington issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation (正式公告) , marking the first official celebration of Thanksgiving in the US. However, turkeys were not yet related to Thanksgiving. About 38 years later, the writer Sarah Josepha described a New England Thanksgiving, with a roasted turkey placed at the head of the table in her novel Northwood. In 1863, after President Abraham Lincoln announced Thanksgiving a national holiday, and turkey has since become a cherished tradition in Thanksgiving celebrations.
At that time, Americans didn't have access to supermarkets. But large numbers of wild turkeys lived on many people's land, making them easy to get for the big pared to more expensive meats, turkey also provided a much lower price and could feed larger groups of people because it weighed more. These made turkey a practical and appealing choice, contributing to its long-lasting popularity as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving feasts.
Today, turkey continues to stand as the star of the Thanksgiving feast, symbolizing tradition, warmth, and the cherished moments shared with loved ones around the table.
8、What is the historians' opinion about the original Thanksgiving meal

A. It had unique cultural value. B. It tasted much more delicious.
C. It had more benefits for health. D. It was cheaper and easier to get.
11、Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How Did Turkey Became the Centerpiece of Thanksgiving
B. What Was the Centerpiece of the “First Thanksgiving”
C. Why Did We Start to Celebrate Thanksgiving Day
D. What Does the Thanksgiving Meal Symbolize
As Earth's climate continues to change, a plant's ability to adapt to its changing environment is important to its survival. Often, to stay alive, a plant must move locations by releasing its seeds, but plants are rooted in the ground and cannot move themselves. Instead, they are dependent on animals or the wind to carry their seeds to a new location.
Playing an essential part in an ecosystem (生态系统) , plants create resources like food and medicine for us human beings. A team of researchers developed the model to better understand how plants can stay resiliency (韧性) when facing challenges like climate change.
“Once seeds are released from a plant, we wanted to know how far they can go because as wind conditions shake, the seeds will be moved around differently because of various weights, sizes, and shapes,” says Binbin Wang, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri.
Changes in one part of the ecosystem can create a “snowball effect” on other parts. That's why understanding seed spread is important. Plants can only make this move once during their life—as a seed, says Lauren Sullivan, an assistant professor at Michigan State University.
“Understanding how plants move as seeds year-round is important for us to analyze how they'll be able to handle climate change,” Sullivan says. “This movement is also important for how we can increase diversity (多样性) in the ecosystem.” “We're now able to partner with researchers. This innovative approach can help us develop accurate models that are simple enough to make good predictions in a short time.”
The model, which makes predictions based on seed and plant type, plant height, and wind speed, can develop an entire year's worth of predictive data in just one or two days. As part of their future work, the team will develop educational programming for K-12 and college students. For example, they will provide opportunities for college students to explore how different disciplines, such as agriculture, biological sciences, and engineering, can work together to solve different real-world problems.
12、Why did the researchers develop the model
A. To learn how plants handle challenges like climate change.
B. To find out what helps seeds travel to different places.
C. To study the effects climate change has on plants.
D. To create more food and medicine resources.
13、Which of the following may not influence how far a seed can travel according to Binbin Wang
A. Its weight. B. Its location. C. Its size. D. Its shape.
14、What can we learn about the “movement” of plants from paragraph 4 and 5
A. It is caused by the change of the climate
B. It can happen during the whole life of a plant.
C. It has an effect on other parts of the ecosystem
D. It's hard to be predicted for the diversity of ecosystem.
15、What do the researchers plan to do next
A. Explore different disciplines for college students.
B. Work together to solve different real-world problems.
C. Develop educational programming for students to explore.
D. Make valuable predictions about the type and height of the plants
“Hey! The thermometer (温度计) reading shows 39℃ !” shouted Lily.
“What This is critical right ” questioned Bella as she touched Emily's forehead. “You are burning now. How do you feel ” she continued. “Terrible”, replied Emily with a weak voice.
Lily said, “I'll get her some medicine from the doctor and a sound sleep will help her get better I guess.”
Emily, Bella, Lily and Anna were roommates and friends. These four were always together. But Emily and Anna were much closer to each other. As Emily's father passed away when she was12 and lived only with her mother, she just considered Anna her family. So although Emily was surrounded by Lily and Bella, she needed Anna by her side. However, to her great disappointment, Anna wasn't there.
“Where is Anna Where has she gone ” asked Emily.
“She rushed out just now. But she didn't tell us where she went,” replied Bella.
Hearing Bella's words, Emily started to feel angry towards her friend. She had fever and was in pain. How could she just went out without any explanation She started thinking Anna was selfish and decided not to talk to her any more.
In the evening, Anna finally returned. But Emily just refused to talk to her until her mother called to ask about her health.
“How are you feeling, my dear ” asked Emily's mother.
“I'm much better now mom. But how do you know I'm having a fever ” Emily didn't know why her mother had known her illness.
“I called you this morning. I fell off the ladder when I was trying to repair the roof, but you didn't answer. Then I called Anna and told her what had happened. She said you were asleep because of the fever. And she just rushed to our house and took me to the hospital. But don't worry, the doctor had checked me. There is nothing serious and I just need some rest.”
