1.
On
winter
nights,
the
wind
usually
blows
strongly.
Most
of
us
stay
inside
our
warm
homes.
Few
of
us
think
about
the
homeless.
These
people
have
no
choice
but
to
sleep
on
the
streets.
Some
of
them
are
so
poor
that
they
have
no
money
to
buy
food.
A
young
man
in
Birmingham,
England,
made
a
decision
to
do
something
about
this.
Every
night,
he
puts
on
a
Spider-Man
suit
and
gives
food
to
the
homeless
he
meets.
He
makes
sure
that
these
people
won't
go
hungry.
The
man
refuses
to
make
his
name
public.
The
local
people
call
him
the
"Birmingham
Spider-Man".
The
young
man
hopes
his
action
will
show
others
that
everybody
deserves
(应得)
a
helping
hand.
The
25-year-old
man
started
his
night
activities
in
2015.
Every
night
at
9,
he
buys
some
sandwiches.
Then,
he
finds
a
quiet
alley
and
puts
on
his
"uniform".
After
that,
the
"Spider-Man"
starts
handing
his
food
out
to
people
in
need.
The
man
said,
“I
wear
the
Spider-Man
suit
in
order
to
get
attention.”
Without
the
suit,
few
people
took
a
second
look
at
him
when
he
was
handing
out
food.
When
people
see
the
"Spider-Stan",
however,
they
come
over
and
ask
what
he
is
doing.
“The
Birmingham
Spider-Man”
has
already
got
lots
of
attention.
Many
people
have
offered
to
give
away
money
to
him.
But
the
young
man
never
accepts
the
money.
Instead,
he
encourages
people
to
go
out
and
help
people
in
need
on
their
own.
He
said,
"If
more
people
offer
a
helping
hand,
the
cold
winter
nights
won't
be
so
cold
any
longer."

Mobile
phone
history
Not
long
ago,
mobile
phones
were
used
mainly
by
business
people
and
government
officers
in
society.
In
the
US,
mobile
phone
users
were
about
340,000
in
1985.
Now
there
are
205
million
mobile
phone
users
in
the
US.
Studies
also
show
that
over
50
percent
of
children
in
the
US
own
their
own
personal
mobile
phones.
The
mobile
phone
explosion
(激增)
has
led
to
a
huge
number
of
waste
phones.
The
number
of
mobile
phones
users
has
also
increased
throughout
the
world.
In
the
middle
of
2005,
the
number
of
total
users
jumped
to
2.4
billion
worldwide.
Mobile
phone
waste
When
people
throw
their
mobile
phones
away,
they
usually
end
up
in
the
open
air.
Mobile
phones
include
some
materials
like
lead,
mercury
and
cadmium.
They
can
go
into
public
drinking
water
and
food
and
do
harm
to
people’s
health.
About
75
percent
of
mobile
phone
users
don’t
throw
their
phones
away.?Instead,
they
prefer
to
keep
the
waste?ones
sitting
around
the
house
as
they
are
not
worth
very
much.
People
are
also
afraid
that
others
may
know
their
information
if
they
sell
their
waste
phones.
Less
than
20
percent
of
them
are
recycled
each
year.
Benefits
(益处)
of
recycling
mobile
phones
Mobile
phones
have
valuable
materials
inside.
The
most
valuable
material
is
gold,
which
is
used
in
the
phone
circuit
boards.
Recycling
can
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
(排放物)
and
keep
natural
resources
like
gold.?If
all
of
the
waste
phones
in
the
US
are
recycled,
it
will
save
enough
energy
to
offer
over
194,000
U.S.
families
electricity
(电)
for
one
year.

How
mobile
phone
recycling
works
Many
people
do
not
know
how
mobile
phone
recycling
works.
One
method
of
recycling
mobile
phones
is
to
take
the
working
parts
of
broken
phones,
then
combine
(使结合)
them
with
the
working
parts
of
other
used
mobile
phones
to
make
one
ready-to-use
mobile
phone.
Another
method
of
mobile
phone
recycling
is
to
melt
(熔化)
down
and
separate
parts
of
the
phone
in
order
to
get
the
valuable
natural
resources,
such
as
gold
and
platinum.
Plastic
and
glass
can
also
be
recycled
from
used
mobile
phones.

Succulents(多肉植物)
are
booming
in
popularity
for
two
simple
reasons:
they
are
beautiful
and
easy
to
grow.
You
can
plant
succulents
in
containers
or
in
the
garden,
but
either
way,
take
care
to
make
sure
your
plants
are
healthy.
Here
are
some
general
rules.
Get
the
pots
ready.
Succulents
need
pots
that
will
house
the
plant
comfortably.
The
actual
pot
size
will
depend
on
the
size
of
the
plant.
You
need
to
repot(移盆)
them
later.
If
you
keep
it
in
a
smaller
pot,
it
will
generally
stick
to
that
size.
You’d
best
choose
clay
(陶土)
pots.
There
should
be
3
or
more
holes
at
the
bottom
of
the
pot.
Prepare
your
soil.
Don’t
use
regular
potting
soil
because
it
will
hold
onto
too
much
water
that
may
cause
your
succulents
to
rot.
A
well-drained
soil
is
a
must.
Succulents
tolerate
dry
conditions
and
poorer
soils.
Give
them
some
light.
Succulents
prefer
bright
light;
therefore,
place
the
pots
in
an
area
where
there
is
plenty
of
sunlight,
direct
or
indirect.
Succulents
need
at
least
four
hours
of
direct
light
each
day.
Don’t
expose
your
succulents
to
hot
summer
sun
for
too
long.
Water
your
plant.
One
of
the
common
mistakes
made
with
succulents
is
overwatering.
If
you
overwater
your
succulents,
they
aren’t
going
to
survive.
It’s
the
same
with
simply
spraying
them
lightly.
The
best
way
to
water
succulents
is
the
“soak
and
dry”
method.
Basically,
you
need
to
give
your
succulents
enough
water
so
that
the
soil
gets
completely
wet.
Then,
let
it
dry
out
completely
before
you
water
again.
Once
every
couple
of
weeks
is
generally
enough
during
the
warmer
months.
Over
winter
they
don’t
really
need
water
at
all.
Feed
your
succulents
during
the
plants’
active
growing
season.
Some
grow
actively
in
summer
while
others
are
winter
plants.
Stop
fertilizing(施肥)
when
plant
growth
naturally
slows.

of
important
contributions(贡献)to
the
development
of
humans.
She
was
born
in
Poland
in
1867.
Her
father
worked
as
a
middle
school
headmaster
and
taught
math
and
physics,
so
she
enjoyed
and
did
well
in
these
2subjects
at
school.
Marie
went
to
study
in
Paris
University
in
1891.
She
studied
math
and
physics
there
and
met
a
scientist
called
Piere
Curie.
They
got
married
in
1895.
From
then
on,
she
was
called
Madame

Together,
Piere
and
Marie
discovered
radium(镭).
In
1903,
Marie
became
the

Then,
in
1904,
Piere
became
a
member
of
the
"Academie
Francaise"(法兰西学院).
But
Marie
was
not
accepted
by
them
because
women
were
not
allowed
to
become
members
at
that
time.
In
1906,
Pierre
died
in
an
accident,
but
Marie

Eight
years
ago,
1-week-old
Diandian
was
left
behind.
When
people
found
her
in
the
reeds
(芦苇)
of
a
lake,
she
looked
too
weak
to
survive.
Now
she
is
the
mother
of
three
milu,
thanks
to
the
workers’
attention
and
care
at
the
East
Dongting
Lake
National
Nature
Reserve.
Li
is
the
president
of
a
milu
conservation
association
in
Yueyang
and
head
of
a
local
milu
and
bird
rescue
center,
where
11
deer,
including
Diandian,
have
their
families.
Li
and
his
workmates
need
to
work
extra
hours
to
take
care
of
the
animals
from
March
until
mid-May.
He
remembers
March
18
this
year.
He
fed
Diandian
some
fresh
shoots
and
leaves
for
breakfast
as
usual,
and
moments
later
when
he
returned,
a
newborn
milu
was
right
beside
her.
Since
it
is
her
third
baby
and
born
in
the
third
month
of
the
year,
people
named
it
Sansan,
referring
to
“three-three”.
Li
has
developed
a
deep
affection
for
milu
and
made
up
his
mind
to
protect
them.
“As
our
country
is
paying
more
attention
to
environmental
and
wildlife
protection,
people
are
increasingly
aware
that
milu
are
state-protected
animalsm,”
Li
said.
Milu
habitats
(栖息地)
are
usually
centered
around
water,
and
fishing
equipment
that
used
to
be
a
threat
to
the
animals
is
no
longer
seen
in
nature
reserves.
On
May
27,
a
team
of
experts
went
to
watch
milu
near
Dongting
Lake.
It
takes
time
and
luck
to
meet
one
and
count
them
especially
when
they
live
in
the
thick
reeds
that
are
4
to
5
meters
tall.
The
team
leader
Song,
saw
a
milu
for
the
first
time
when
he
was
studying
for
his
doctorate
in
zoology
early
in
2009.
Since
then,
he
has
helped
protect
the
habitats
at
Dongting
Lake.
As
the
flood
season
is
coming,
Song
and
his
workmates
will
go
around
the
lake
area
day
and
night
to
save
deer
in
trouble,
and
provide
feed
for
the
animals
when
needed.
As
the
environment
improves
in
and
around
Dongting
Lake,
China’s
second-largest
freshwater
lake,
the
wetland
has
become
cover
once
again
for
wildlife.
“We
will
continue
to
protect
these
rare
animals
and
their
living
environment,”
Song
said.

We
spend
one
third
of
our
lives
in
bed!
Everyone
needs
a
relaxing
sleeping
environment
There
is
no
doubt
that
the
design
of
your
bedroom
is
really
important
But
how?
Here’re
some
golden
rules
to
remember
if
you
are
decorating
your
bedroom.
Choose
a
proper
colour
Colour
is
the
key!
Choosing
the
right
colour
of
your
bedroom
should
be
the
first
decision
when
designing
the
space.
A
general
rule
is
to
avoid
using
overly
bright
colours
in
it
You
might
be
pleasantly
surprised
when
you
try
out
the
colours
that
bring
you
peace.
Light
it
up
It
is
important
to
choose
the
correct
lighting
when
designing
a
bedroom.
Besides
practical
ceiling
lighting,
lamps
and
floor
lamps
can
also
make
it
easy
for
you
to
get
into
a
sleepy
state
in
the
evening.
So
don't
forget
to
introduce
smaller
pockets
of
light
around
the
room.
Create
space
to
breathe
A
tidy
room
helps
you
feel
calmer.
Please
remember
to
reduce
the
unnecessary
furniture
and
choose
the
one
with
doors
to
hide
away
the
messy
clothing
shelves.
The
less
furniture
you
have,
the
better
your
room
will
be,
as
you
will
open
up
floor
space
to
allow
the
room
to
appear
bigger
and
less
crowded.
Give
it
a
soft
touch
The
material
of
bedding
can
bring
you
different
sleep
feelings.
Something
soft
is
always
the
first
choice.
For
example,
good
quality
pillows（枕头）will
make
you
relaxed
and
suit
almost
all
requirements.
A
well-chosen
duvet（羽绒被）will
keep
you
sleeping
through
the
coldest
winter
nights,
and
it
won't
be
too
hot
or
heavy
during
the
summer.
In
a
word,
the
standard
of
designing
your
bedroom
is
to
keep
it
comfortable.

The
Future
of
Chinese
Do
you
know
that
one
fifth
of
the
planet
speaks
Chinese
now?
About
873
million
people
speak
it
at
home
in
China.
Outside
China,
people
in
Singapore,
Malaysia
and
some
other
Asian
countries
also
speak
Chinese.That
makes
Chinese
the
most
widely
used
first
language
in
the
world.
So
now
with
the
growing
important
and
influence
of
China's
economy
globally,
Chinese
is
becoming
more
and
more
popular
and
importance
all
over
the
world.
More
and
more
people
in
many
other
countries
are
starting
to
learn
Chinese.
Even
schoolchildren
in
the
UK
and
USA
are
learning
Chinese.
Many
foreigners
come
to
China
to
learn
Chinese
together
with
our
Chinese
students.
In
the
future,
people
will
speak
Chinese
as
an
international
language
because
China
is
becoming
a
very
important
country
in
the
world.
Many
foreigners
visit
China,
and
many
countries
trade
China.

Children
know
that
summer
is
probably
the
most
fun
of
all
seasons．However，experts
say
it
is
also
the
most
dangerous，especially，for
children
aged
14
and
under．In
its
first
study
of
children's
safety
in
the
US，the
National
Safe
Kids
Campaign
（NSKC）
found
that
nearly
half
of
the
injury-related
（与受伤相关的）
deaths
among
children
happened
in
summer．
Experts
are
not
surprised
by
the
study's
results．They
always
know
summer
is
a
dangerous
season
for
children．During
the
summer，children
are
out
of
school
and
spend
more
time
outdoors．They
are
more
likely
to
get
into
an
accident
or
be
injured．"While
we
encourage
children
to
be
active
and
spend
more
time
outdoors，they
need
to
understand
the
importance
of
safety，"said
Everett
Koop，an
expert
of
the
NSKC．
To
help
children
stay
safe，the
NSKC
started
a"Make
it
a
Safe
Kids
Summer"campaign
during
National
Safe
Kids
Week，from
May
5
through
May
12．Here

Blood
donation,
also
called
blood
banking,
is
a
meaningful
thing
to
do.
It
is
an
easy
and
direct
way
to
contribute
to
social
work
and
help
the
community.
It
helps
to
save
lives
and
helps
those
who
lose
blood
during
operations
or
in
accidents.
You
are
able
to
give
or
donate
blood
every
three
or
four
months.
It
is
a
great
way
to
make
a
big
difference
to
someone’s
life
and
you
can
always
be
proud
of
it
after
making
valuable
contributions
to
society.
Blood
donation
is
not
a
big
problem,
but
you
need
to
keep
a
few
points
in
mind.
Before
donating
blood,
make
sure
that
the
ferrum
(铁)
level
in
your
body
is
high
enough
and
for
that
you
should
take
a
healthy
diet.
For
making
hemoglobin
(血红蛋白)
in
your
body
up
to
standard,
drink
lots
of
juice
and
other
drinks.
Fruit
juice,
such
as
apple
juice,
is
very
good
for
increasing
the
blood
level
in
your
body.
For
a
good
blood
flow
in
your
body,
drink
at
least
6-7
glasses
of
water
every
day.
It’s
not
wise
to
drink
wine
before
or
after
giving
blood.
Do
not
smoke
half
an
hour
before
giving
blood.
When
you
are
going
for
blood
donation,
be
relaxed,
which
helps
keep
the
right
blood
pressure.
While
donating
blood,
take
a
deep
breath
and
try
to
calm
yourself.
Don’t
take
part
in
some
other
activities.
Blood
donation
is
a
very
simple
and
fast
process,
but
you
need
to
take
care
of
yourself
after
donating
blood.
Proper
care
helps
to
reduce
bad
effects.
The
following
are
a
few
tips
that
will
help
you
out.
Take
a
rest
for
15
minutes
after
the
donation.
It
helps
you
to
relax
yourself.
Make
sure
that
you
have
meals
after
donating
blood.
Smoking
shouldn’t
be
allowed
for
one
hour
after
the
process.
Don’t
do
any
activities
right
away,
for
example,
driving.
Finally,
be
proud
of
yourself
because
you
have
done
a
great
thing
in
helping
to
save
someone’s
life.
Blood
donation
is
a
very
important
activity.

There
are
some
problems
that
today’s
society
is
facing.
One
of
them
is
who
should
be
responsible(负有责任的)
for
our
elderly
and
how
to
improve
their
lives,
and
this
is
a
serious
one.
I
would
like
to
suggest
several
possible
ways.
First,
bosses
should
think
about
their
retired
workers.
At
least
they
should
leave
1%
of
gains.
But
when
it
comes
true,
the
company
may
be
troubled
because
of
higher
costs.
Another
way
is
to
return
the
responsibility
to
everyone.
This
means
each
person
must
save
during
his
working
years
to
pay
for
his
years
of
retirement.
Some
people
find
that
it’s
difficult
for
them
to
have
pay
for
their
daily
life
without
trying
to
get
extra
to
cover
their
government
taxes
(税)
to
increase
the
level
of
pensions
(养老金).
And
some
organizations
should
provide
a
comfortable
life
for
them.
However,
as
the
present
situation
in
our
country
shows,
this
is
not
a
truly
practical
answer.
The
government
doesn’t
have
enough
money
to
care
for
the
elderly,
especially
when
it
is
busy
trying
to
care
for
the
young.
One
further
solution
is
that
the
government
or
social
organizations
set
up
some
working
places
especially
for
the
elderly.
In
short,
all
these
solutions
have
advantages
and
disadvantages.
So
we
are
expecting
to
put
these
solutions
together
so
that
we
can
provide
the
care
we
hope
to
give
to
our
elderly.
