    Napoga is a girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy.

    Earth Day is on April 22. But on all the other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on the Earth. Water covers about 75% of the Earth's surface. But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for many things. Fresh water covers only less than 1% of the Earth's surface.

    You probably feel lucky that your life isn't as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn't mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution Lots of kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes and seas dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fishes are dying out. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.

(1)、Why does the writer tell the story of Napoga?
A、To tell us a lot of people in the world can't get enough clean water. B、To let us know people in Africa need enough clean water to drink. C、To tell us to help people who don't have enough clean water to use. D、To tell us to help Napoga go to school and make friends with others.
(2)、What kind of water do people really need?
A、Sea water. B、Dirty water. C、Fresh water. D、Sweet water.
(3)、What's the last paragraph mainly about?
A、Some of us still have enough water to use. B、Everyone should know we are facing water problems. C、Dirty water is bad for all living things on the Earth. D、More than half of the fishes died because of water pollution.
(4)、What can we know from the passage?
A、Napoga uses five hours to get water from a village. B、Earth Day is on April 22 every year. C、We can use 1G fresh water. D、Thirty two per cent of fishes are disappearing.

Now scientists have discovered that the dogs behave like their masters, too. Just like children, they use a “ look and learn” ways when they go about their tasks.
Scientists at Oxford universities designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans' actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box .Sometimes they use their heads to push it and sometimes they use their hands.
10 dogs were divided into two groups—Group 1 and Group 2. In the first part of the test, Group 1 were rewarded with a piece of meat for copying their owner's actions. Group 2 were rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was first to get 85% right. They found that Group1finished the task much sooner than Group 2.
In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group1 reached the 85% mark more quickly than Group 2.
So the scientists draw a conclusion: “Like humans, dogs can copy actions that they see. Dogs' imitative(仿效的)behavior is shaped more by their interactions(互动)with humans than by evolution(进化).”
Scientists said,“A dog's behavior is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn similar behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behavior of their pets.”

With her eyes always feeling tired, 16-year-old Sun Run went to the hospital with her parents in January. She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight(视力) dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only 5 months. "A few of my friends have had the same experience lately," Sun said.

In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and middle school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education (教育部).

To protect students' eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements (要求) for schools. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students' textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point (小五号). Teachers should also avoid (避免) using projectors (投影仪) or other multimedia equipment (多媒体设备) that are too bright, Beijing Daily reported.

There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example,these lights should give off as little blue light as possible. Blue light is bad for our eyes, as it can kill the photoreceptor cells (感光细胞) we need, according to Harvard Medical School. Many of the electronic devices (电子设备) we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light. Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students' eyesight in China. In May 2020, schools were asked to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activities a day. 

Chinese government has made great effort to help students to protect their eyesight. As well, students should take good care of their eyes.

① Dreams may make you smart. This was discovered by scientists who do research on dreams.

② What is a dream exactly? Scientists explain that during sleep time your brain reviews your experiences in the day. It tries to connect your new.experiences with the old memories. As your brain connect things, it turns them into a story, and then you get a dream.

③ Dreams may help you deal with worries and fears. What has happened during the day may be painful. While you are sleeping, however, the brain will replay the painful memories in a safe dream space. There the bad memories become less painful.And you will feel better after waking up.

④ Dreams also seem to be able to help you learn. This idea is supported by a study. So scientists advise you not to stay up all night studying,especially when an exam is coming. They say a sweet dream might help you get higher marks.

⑤ Dreams may make you more creative,too. It was reported that a famous songwriter came up with his best song in a dream, and wrote it down as soon as he woke up. However, dreams alone can't bring about creativity..In fact,the songwriter spent a lot of time thinking about the song before the dream.In a word, hard work matters more for creativity, though dreams also have to play a role.

Recharge (充电) Your Body's Battery

My phone is showing that little red low-battery sign. What if I didn't recharge it—no, that would stress me out. But what if I took a few minutes to recharge myself—yes, that would help. But how? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Tell yourself the truth. 

When something stressful happens, we often can't help taking a deep breath at first. But we control what happens next. It's possible to work with our stress, rather than against it. Thank it and remind yourself: "{#blank#}2{#/blank#}"

Turn your attention to joy. 

To protect energy stores, turn your attention to being present. Focus on what you can feel grateful for. Smiling can reduce stress. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Plant something in your day that you look forward to. 

Work your stress out. 

You might think all your feelings live in your brain. But in fact, we feel them with our whole bodies. Doing exercise can help your body reduce stress. It can change how you feel. Also, heating up and cooling down, like taking a shower, may cheer you up. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Being in crowded and busy places sends our bodies signs of danger. We can recharge our batteries with green space time—look for a park, gardens or plants to calm our bodies and minds. 

Life is short. It's even shorter living on half a battery. We can break our daily stress habits and create more energy. 

A. My body is producing energy to help me deal with it. 

B. Relax yourself in green. 

C. My energy is running out. 

D. Here are a few ways to recharge yourself. 

E. Joy can recharge us.

Robots become a bigger part of daily lives like in teaching, taking care of us, and even being our friends. Today, designers are considering how to get humans to trust robots. They pay special attention to voices, accents (口音), and dialects (方言) that robots use.

Imagine a "robot voice" in your head. Maybe it sounds like a robot from science fiction movies or TV shows. It could be robotic, unnatural, and sound like a boss. Nowadays, however, machines are starting to talk more and more like real people.

Here comes a question. Do people like robots that speak with a standard accent, or with accents and dialects from their own region? Some people think robots with standard accents sound smarter. But other researchers say robots with accents and dialects might feel more friendly and comforting. They might even seem more trustworthy (值得信任的).

To find out more, a group of researchers in Germany did a study. They wanted to know how people feel about robots based on the dialect they use. Katharina Kuhne and her team asked 120 Germans to watch a video of a small robot called Nao. Nao spoke in either standard German or the Berlin dialect.

After watching the video, the researchers asked the participants (参与者) which robot they thought was more trustworthy. Most people liked the robot that spoke in standard German, but not everyone did. If the participants spoke the Berlin dialect well and often, they thought the robot that spoke it was more trustworthy.

Kuhne's team knows there are many other factors that could influence how people feel about robots, like how they look, if the voice sounds like a man or a woman, and the meanings behind different dialects. But their study still gives us a good idea of how language can change the ways we interact with and think about robots. The results of this study can help make robots that meet the needs of people from all kinds of backgrounds.
