One day, a son went to his father for advice. "Dad, I can't do this anymore," he said. "My lessons are boring and tiring, and I haven't made any 1. I don't think I'll ever play football well and my dream will never2."

The father looked at his son with3eyes and said, "Well, my dear son, every person has a dream — a goal of his life. It makes us do what we are doing, because it's what we believe in. We have to fight for it."4 has moments when life seems too hard, moments when we feel like giving up is the only choice. We think that 5hard we try, we'll never reach our goals and achieve our dreams. It's OK to feel down for a little while, but never never stop6. When our dreams die, we die.

A wise man once said, "There are7stages for a man's growing—knowing that not everyone is just around us and for us; knowing that however hard we try, the goals and dreams seem always far away; knowing that however far away the dreams are, we will still try everything we can."8 you need to remember one thing, "Life is just like riding a bicycle.9 your balance（平衡）, you must keep moving. It doesn't matter that you have fallen once or maybe many times. Life goes on! Your biggest enemies are hiding in you—laziness, fear and 10. You should be a warrior（斗士）of your dreams and goals and fight for them."

Parapsychologists（灵学家）say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether there is such a "sixth sense", Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理学家）at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.

In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people didn't know that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he asked the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.

For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two way mirror in a laboratory. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.

Baker finds out that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at. "If people doubt the outcome of my two experiments," said Baker, "I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves."

China's Yangtze River, the world's third longest river, is home to 378 known species(物种) of fish. But the Chinese paddlefish(白鲟), once a common freshwater fish in the river, is no longer a member of it. Although few paddlefish were seen after 1995, they didn't completely become extinct until between 2005 and 2010; they were last seen in 2003. According to a recent study, human activities drove the nearly 200-million-year-old animals to extinction.

    The Chinese paddlefish, also known as the "panda of Yangtze", was one of the world's largest freshwater fish species. It could grow as long as 7 meters and weigh up to 450 kilograms.

    While the Chinese paddlefish was listed as a nationally protected animal in the 1980s, overfishing in the 1970s caused great influence to their population. National Geographic reports that about 25 tons of paddlefish were caught each year during that period. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam divided the paddlefish population into two parts, which broke migration patterns(洄游模式)and prevented producing young upstream. This caused the paddlefish to be short of numbers to reproduce.

    The problem is that more will be like this, but the hope is that in order to save other endangered Yangtze species, many quicker efforts are being made. Also China introduced a 10-year commercial(商业的） fishing ban（禁令） over 300 parts along the Yangtze River in order to protect endangered Yangtze species.

Fahd Saleh is a restaurant owner. He is very interested in food and loves his restaurant. It is called Marmar Restaurant and it is in a big city in Saudi Arabia. Everyone enjoys eating his food.

After all the people finished eating and left his restaurant each day, he looked in his kitchen. There were always a lot of plates with food on. . Why not? Didn't they like it?

The waiters explained that those who came to dinner said they liked the food. They left the food because they had ordered too much. They were full and couldn't eat anything else.

. The next morning, he wrote a new sign. He put it on the wall in the restaurant. The first people to dinner that day were three men. Before the waiter pointed to the sign, they had ordered four starters, some fish, some meat and rice, and two vegetable dishes. . They ordered three starters, followed by some meat, rice and one dish of vegetables. Why did they do that? Here's the sign：

Dear friends,

    Thank you for eating in Marmar Restaurant. We want to waste less food. So we are asking you to think carefully before you order. Please do not order too much food.

A few months later， there was less waste in Marmar Restaurant, Mr. Saleh was very happy. He said, "People are thinking before they order. Then they eat up what they order."

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Products are not produced in a "green" way. It leads to the new pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of wastes like glass, paper and plastics are produced. The waste problem is difficult to deal with.

However, today, people have realized the importance of buying and using environmentally- friendly products. More and more people are choosing "green" and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, "Will this soap be bad for the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?

Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8,129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are "green".

A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products. The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business of them. The public will no longer accept the old idea of "buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." As a result, the companies have to take action.

It's late evening. Sun Run, a 14-year-old from Zhejiang is using her smartphone to do her homework. ⑴She uses an app to read English articles according to her teacher's instructions.

These days, it's not unusual for teachers to give home work on apps. ⑵例如，学生们被要求练习英语或做数学题目。 Some teachers also use WeChat chat groups to give homework.

But now, Zhejiang province is moving to ban(禁止) teachers from assigning homework on mobile apps due to concerns about students' eyesight. In 2018, more than 70 percent of middle school students in China were found to be nearsighted, according to the World Health Organization. ⑶长时间使用手机对眼睛有害。

Do students like to do their homework on their phones? Zhang Keqi, a 14-year-old from Fujian, said he doesn't. "Sometimes the apps can't recognize what I'm reading in English. I have to work on them for a long time to get high score," he said. ⑷He said his eyesight has gotten worse since he started using apps to do his homework.

However, Whag Yidi from Anhui enjoys doing homework on apps. "The apps have big databases(数据库) of math exercises! And I can revise(修改) my answers easily," said the 15-year-old. ⑸"But the bad part is that I can't help playing with other apps while doing my homework."

Zhou Tianyi, 12, from Sichuan, also thinks it's fun to do homework with apps. Her teachers ask their students to dub(配音) English videos and make their own short videos. "But if I have too much other homework to do, I feel like it's too much for me to finish," she said.
