Soon the real noise came,like bombs(爆炸)under the2 . The building began to shake hard. People shouted and ran out of the building. I tried my best to3 out too,but I could not. Outside,people were running everywhere4 pieces of glass and bricks(砖)were falling down. Then the walls began to come down too!

Hello,I'm Lucy. During my stay in America,my friend Susan invited(邀请)me to have dinner in a restaurant. That was a funny experience for me. Now let me talk about it.
At first,my husband told me to take some money before I left,but I didn't listen to him. I thought Susan would pay because she invited me to go.
The Americans like to be on time,so I arrived at the restaurant on time. We sat at a table and soon we began to enjoy ourselves there. The food was very delicious. We talked about our friends and shared the experiences about ourselves.
After two hours,the waiter came and asked if we wanted one check(账单)and two. Susan said two. Susan paid her check,and the waiter gave me mine. I had no money. Then I had an idea and said,"Oh!I left my money at home!Can I call my husband?"The waiter showed me where the phone was. I ran to it and called my husband.

Here is some cool information about the world's population.
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years,this can slow the growth of the world's population. |
| The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic(象征的)baby. For example,the world's population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. |
| More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1. 8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever(有史以来). |
One afternoon,a teacher was having a math class. However,some boys made a lot of noise in class. The teacher got angry. He kept them in the classroom after school. He told them to add(加)all the numbers from 1 to 100 together.
The boys took out their exercise books. All of them began to write the numbers down except one boy. He was seven years old and new in the school. He looked out of the window for a few minutes. Then he wrote a number in his exercise book and put up his hand.
"May I go home sir?"he asked. "I know the answer now. "
The teacher and the other boys were very surprised.
"Bring it here. "said the teacher.
The next morning the teacher asked the boy. "How did you find the answer so quickly?"
"Well sir,"he said,"I did not want to stay here so long. So I did my best to find the answer quickly. Soon I found it. You see,if you add 100 to 1,you get 101,and 99 and 2 is 101,and 98 and 3 is 101 too,and when you reach 51 and 50,you have 101 fifty times. That is 5050. "
After this when the teacher gave the class exercises to do,he gave this boy different exercises.
The boy's name was Carl F. Gauss. When he grew up,he became a great scientist. Gauss's achievements(成就)filled many pages in science encyclopedias(百科全书). And he was as famous as Archimedes and Newton. And he was one of the three greatest mathematicians(数学家)of all time in the world.
①Can you speak more than one language?Being able to communicate(沟通)with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.
②Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking,writing and using body language. The United Nations celebrates six of the world's most widely used languages every year,such as French Language Day,on March 20th,Chinese,on April 20th,and Russian,on June 6th. They are good chances to try learning a new language.
③Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may not understand and makes you feel more connected with them. Havana,who is aged 12,says speaking two different languages means she can talk to her relatives in another country. This makes her feel closer to her cousins because they can share their ideas. Learning another language can also increase your confidence. For example,by being able to talk to local people when you travel,you will feel more confident. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises your brain(大脑)and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time. That means you can easily pay attention to at least two things at a time.
④Alex Rawlings is a language teacher who can speak more than 15 languages. He finds it's easier to learn words that he can hear,rather than just from a vocabulary. "And I've made lots of friends through my languages,"says Rawlings. "The more you learn,the easier it gets. "
