The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

（1）、When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.

A、both day and night B、day C、neither day nor night D、night

（2）、A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.

A、the pushing B、the pulling C、the spinning D、the passing

（3）、At the equator day is as long as night ________.

A、sometimes B、never C、usually D、always

（4）、When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ________ sunlight.

A、less B、more C、all D、no

（5）、When it is winter in China, ________.

What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98,"meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love:12+15+22+5="54," and luck : 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can't , either.
Then what else? Don't be worried． You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word． See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one's attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you'll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (积极地) attitude towards failure(失败),you'll find it's also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

Dear Dr. Know,

I'm so worried these days because I get pimples （青春痘）. It causes many problems. I feel embarrassed when I come into the classroom because all my classmates look at me in surprise. Some students even laugh at me. I don't want to communicate with anyone. I have to be the first one to get into the classroom and the last one to leave. And I become stressed out and can't fall asleep at night. What should I do? Please write to me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Sad and Fourteen

Dear Sad and Fourteen,

I'm so sorry to hear that you are worried about pimples. I'm also sorry that I can't stand beside you to share your stress. At first, you should know that getting pimples is quite normal in your age. You are great! It shows that you have grown up. Secondly, you don't need to care too much. You can tell your classmates your problem directly and I think they will understand you. Thirdly, if you_pay_more_attention_to_other_things, like studying or outdoor activities, maybe you will find more fun. What's more, you can ask the doctors for some medicine. I hope things will work out and everything will be better for you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Know

Young star shines

Over the years, skilled Chinese players have been doing very well in table tennis. Now, young athletes from Generation Z are becoming the stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname "Little Devil" by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. "I felt I had some talent," she told China Daily.

When Sun first joined the reserve squad (预备队) of the national table tennis team, she was excited. Becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream.

However, there have been challenges along the way. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it was there that she faced huge losses. "I was not well- rounded enough to win the gold medal in the women's singles," Sun said.

Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. "Determination and courage can make a good athlete," she said. "What keeps me going are the goals and dreams I set for myself,"

At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women's singles, the women's doubles and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛) . Looking at the world ranking website, you can see Sun's name at the top of the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.

When talking about younger table tennis players, Sun encourages them to keep their love and stay focused. "If you truly love table tennis, I hope you can hold on to it," she said.
