Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times.Many years ago，people thought that if we went to bed early and get up early，we would be energetic the whole day.So，getting up early is of great importance to us all.
In fact，morning is the best time of a day.In the morning，the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best conditions.Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and accurately in the morning than any other time of the day.
If we do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning，we can build us up and become much healthier.Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early.However，if we get up late，we will probably have to do everything in a great hurry.
Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it.If we stick to getting up early every day，we will certainly benefit a lot from it.

When I was in primary school，our class decided to make “May Day baskets” for our mothers anonymously (匿名).For days，we worked on creating paper baskets，following a magic design shared by our teacher Miss Cosmos.
We finished right on time.Miss Cosmos brought some bright flowers for us to fill our baskets.We had to wait until the day was nearly over.When the bell rang，we picked our schoolbags，carefully held our offerings of love and ran back home!
I was so excited! I ran as fast as I could down the hill and across the street.After arrival，when deciding to hang the basket lovingly on our door，I was surprised that my flowers were gone! There was only an empty basket! I stood in front of the door and began to cry.
Soon，my mom came to the door to discover the source of my sadness.While she helped me off with my coat and school things，I tried to talk about my terrible situation.As she listened，she wiped (擦拭) my face and stroked my hair with the other hand.I fell weakly into her arms.
Then Mom did what I would never forget.She took a knife from the kitchen and my poor little empty basket off the table.We went to our garden where there were some beautiful flowers.She cut one，placed it in my basket，handed me the knife，and then went to the house to prepare dinner.Slowly，as I cut the flowers and arranged them in my paper basket，my gift was ready to be offered.Suddenly，I realised the surprise，so important to my deed，was now totally gone.But at least，I had my May Day basket with flowers.
I hung the basket on our door，knocked，and hid._____________________

Every year the Royal Botanic Gardens，Kew，and the New York Botanical Garden open their doors to thousands of visitors.They go there for the world-famous orchid (兰花) shows.But these organizations are not just protecting living plants but also recording the culture connected with them.
课时分层作业(九)
Working with the Institute of Medicinal Plant Development，Beijing，Kew has developed a collection of plants—including orchids.The plants are collected in the forms they are used in traditional Chinese medicine.This is a storehouse of medical knowledge and a tool for cultural research.
Dr Barnabas Seyler，assistant researcher in the department of environment at Sichuan University，believes in the key role of botanical gardens.As an ethnobotanist (民族植物学家)，Seyler is looking at the relationship between orchids and local culture of Liangshan.“They can help the culture continue to exist through providing protection，educating the general public，and supporting traditional knowledge，stories，and cultural traditions connected with these plants，”he says.
In China，orchids are more than just wild plants.“If you walk into any Chinese restaurant around the world，or into any teahouse in China，you will likely find paintings，place settings，or other cultural things showing orchids，”he says.“Many people，especially in the west，do not fully understand the weight that the plant has held throughout history in traditional Han Chinese culture.”
The researchers have noticed that orchid species native to Sichuan are disappearing rapidly.Their beauty is killing them.Wild-collected rare forms could be sold for thousands of dollars.In his study，Seyler asked locals of Yi and Han communities whether they could recognize different orchid species.They also asked them about how to find and grow orchids，and knowledge about orchids in arts and language.They found that when species were locally dying out，knowledge about them would be forgotten.
Culture doesn't soon disappear because of the loss of one plant or group of plants.But what happens if species loss continues

The international outbreak of monkeypox(猴痘)，which began in May 2022，has caused the WHO to declare a global health emergency.
Monkeypox got its name in 1958，when it was found for the first time in several laboratory monkeys.It's a zoonotic viral disease，which means it can be transmitted(传染)from animals to humans.It can also pass from human to human.Human monkeypox was first identified in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC)in a 9-month-old boy.In 2003，the first monkeypox outbreak outside Africa was reported in the USA and was linked to contact with infected(感染的)pet dogs.
Monkeypox is mostly found in the rainforests of central and western Africa，where animals that can carry the virus are native.In these countries，it's increasingly appearing in urban areas.Sometimes it can also be found elsewhere，in people who could have been infected after visiting these countries.
People infected with monkeypox usually have a fever，severe headache，muscle aches，back pain，low energy，swollen lymph nodes，and skin rashes(皮疹)or lesions.In severe cases，they can have skin infections，pneumonia，and eye infections that can lead to vision loss.The rash usually begins on the first or third day of the onset of fever.The lesions may be flat or slightly raised，filled with clear or yellowish fluid，then crust over(结痂)，dry up，and fall off. The number of lesions varies，from a few to several thousand.The rash tends to appear on the face，the palms of the hands，and the soles of the feet.They can also be found in the mouth and eyes.
In most cases，the symptoms of monkeypox go away on their own within a few weeks but，in between three and six percent of cases reported in countries where it's constantly present，it can lead to medical complications and even death.New-born babies，children，and people with other health problems may be at risk of more severe symptoms and death from the disease.

Dear Peterson，
As an 18-year old middle school student，I have been busy with my study and seldom help my parents with housework.
Last Sunday，when my parents went out shopping，it suddenly occurred to me that I could give the rooms a thorough cleaning.Firstly，I collected all the books，newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place.Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture.After that，I swept and mopped the floors.
At that moment，my parents came back.My mother gave me a hug.Tired as I was，I felt so happy.
Yours，
Li Hua

Dear Peterson，
As an 18-year old middle school student，I have been busy with my study and seldom help my parents with housework.
Last Sunday，when my parents went out shopping，it suddenly occurred to me that I could give the rooms a thorough cleaning.Firstly，I collected all the books，newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place.Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture.After that，I swept and mopped the floors.
At that moment，my parents came back.My mother gave me a hug.Tired as I was，I felt so happy.
Yours，
Li Hua
