Dogs have feelings just like you and me. They cry when they're 1 , and they smile when they're happy. It's true! Dogs have lots of 2 of telling their feelings without using words. You just need to 3 their body language. For example, what does it 4when your dog wags his tail? He's telling you that he's happy, or that he is 5 . something and he wants it. Sometimes you may see your dog tuck (将……缩拢并塞进…..)his tail between his 6 It means that he's probably afraid, or not feeling 7. Also, it isn't hot outside, but does your dog look like he's panting(喘气)?

This month, we went on a five day trip to Xishuangbanna, a beautiful place in the south of Yunnan Province. The weather there is hot and wet. There a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} many kinds of plants and animals. I want to i {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some interesting things we saw to you during our trip.

In the jungle(丛林), we saw a twining(缠绕的)plant. These P {#blank#}3{#/blank#} grow when seeds-seeds mainly from banyan tees (榕树)are moved by animals or wind to some other trees. These seeds gradually grow, developing their own aerial (空气的) roots. Little by lite, they will get themselves around the host tree and f {#blank#}4{#/blank#} kill it, just like a snake kills its enemy.

A {#blank#}5{#/blank#} thing we learned is that when a tree gets big and strong, some of its aerial roots will grow into the ground and develop into a new tee, just like the way cell division (细胞分裂) works. The w {#blank#}6{#/blank#} tree will look like a small forest. I think this is quite a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

In the forest, you will sometimes find some red leaves among the green leaves. Why is that?

One reason is that the sunshine is very strong in Yunnan. The trees n {#blank#}8{#/blank#} use all of their leaves in order to do photosynthesis (光合作用) and grow, so the color of some of the leaves c {#blank#}9{#/blank#}to red.

We really enjoyed our trip to Yunnan. We learned a lot about n {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and had a rally fun time. I hope we can take more trips like this in the future.

Different cultures have their own manners and customs. For example French like to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (拥抱) or kiss when they greet each other, but others might just s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} hands or bow. It is also a big challenge to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (表现，举止) well at the dinner table in different countries. For example, Chinese people use chopsticks. They think it's i{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to wave or play with sticks when eating. But Indians don't u{#blank#}5{#/blank#} use forks, knives or spoons for eating food. They prefer eating with their fingers.

People celebrate {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (假期，假日) and festivals in different ways, too. Some cultures have loud music and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (令人激动的) dances to attract event-goers. While in other cultures, people prefer a q{#blank#}8{#/blank#} and relaxing environment.

Things can be very different from the way they are at home. It's important to respect the differences and try to u{#blank#}9{#/blank#} that everyone may have their own way of doing things. Travel more and meet people from different cultures if you had the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (机会). It's a good way to help us learn and appreciate the beauty of diversity.

Mothers always tell their children what they should eat. They {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(期盼;等待) their children to be healthy.

When Jim was a child, his mother often told him to be careful not to eat too much sugar or he would have a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (牙痛).Besides, his mother told him that he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(必须) wash his hands before meals to prevent many {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(疾病).

Mary's mother always takes care of Mary well. For example, when Mary had a cold and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(咳嗽) day and night, her mother took her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (温度) first. And she checked if she had a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(发烧). Then she would send her to hospital if necessary.

Michael is a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(聪明的) but picky (挑剔的) boy. He likes meat very much. But he hardly eats vegetables. That doesn't {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(使满意) his mother. One day, his mother came up with an idea. She cooked some meatballs with vegetables in them. As a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(结果), Michael liked them very much and ate them up. Then he was surprised to find vegetables were delicious.

The opening ceremony(开幕式) of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou was held on September 23ⁿd,

2023. People could see the electronic fireworks (烟花) in the night sky above the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium. It showed us beautiful pictures, the latest technologies and environmental thoughts.

" The electronic fireworks paid attention to environmental protection," said Sha Xiaolan, the director of the opening ceremony." As long as fireworks are set off, there will be smoke in the air. It will cause pollution. Compared with normal fireworks which we usually set off, electronic fireworks never produce smoke and noise."

Why did they use this kind of fireworks? Because they were ' green', and Sha Xiaolan hoped to show environmental protection to the world. It did not mean there would be less excitement of the opening ceremony. According to the digital technology, 3D pictures, AR technology and more, the electronic fireworks have left a deep thinking on the people." People have rich feelings while they are watching the fireworks. Today is the first time I have seen electronic fireworks, and they are very eye- catching." He told China News reporters.

" High technologies helped produce environmental- friendly fireworks," Sha said." The research team designed fireworks with 3D technology. Then they did many experiments so that the fireworks had the best show without pollution."

In ancient(古代的) China, people(人) have three names: the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} name, given name, and courtesy name(字).

 Look at Li Bai, his family name is Li, his given name is Bai and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} courtesy name is Taibai. Some people call him Li Bai, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} some people call him Li Taibai.

 When do people use their given {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and courtesy names? When(当……的时候) people are at home, they usually use their given names. But when they are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} at home, people use their courtesy names.
