举一反三

A plant is a living thing. It uses its many parts to grow from a small seed to a large plant. Each part helps the plant stay healthy. Plants also need sunlight to grow. They get light from the sun and minerals from the soil. These things help the plant stay alive and grow.

They use sunlight, water and air to make a plant's food.

Flowers Flowers make seeds that can grow into new plants.

Stem The stem helps hold the plant up. It moves the food and water from the roots to the other parts of the plant

Fruit Some plants have fruit. The fruit grows around the seeds and keeps them safe.

Seeds Seeds can grow into new plants.

Roots A plant grows roots under the ground. The roots hold the plant in place.

Scientists are very interested in the Universe, and they always want to know more about it. Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it is and how far away it is from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon. The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket(火箭).
How does a rocket fly? There is gas（气体） in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky. Rockets can fly out into space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet(行星) much farther away than the moon. One day, rockets may be able to go to any place in space.

   Do you know why you sleep? You may think it's because you're tired. Or perhaps you've been told sleep is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.
   Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes each, sleepers' eyes made rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM sleep, for Rapid Eye Movement. Periods when sleepers' eyes did not move he called non-REM sleep.
   Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements showed that sleepers' pulses（脉搏）went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, REM sleep is a time when the body is hard at work. Scientists still don't know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier. Babies spend a lot of time in REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the day's garbage.
   One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make mistakes. Most major car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.

    Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Products (产品) arc not produced in a "green" way and people haven't realized the importance of buying and using environmentally-friendly products. These lead to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of waste like glass, paper and plastics is produced (生产). The waste problem is difficult to deal with.
    However, today, 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 (调查) on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8129 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 the products are “green”.
    A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products their main selling point in advertisements.
The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. 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.

New sea bridge opens in China

A new bridge just opened on October24.The long bridge links(连接)three cities. It is the HongKong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge(HZMB).The bridge looks like the letter "Y ".It is 55 kilometers long. It is the world's longest sea bridge. China spent nine years building this bridge. The HZMB is not just a bridge, but also part tunnel(登道）and part island .In one part, the bridge turns into an undersea tunnel. The tunnel passes through two man-made islands. Large ships can pass by above the tunnel. The HZMB makes it much faster to travel between the three cities. It takes 45 minutes to go from Hong Kong to Zhuhai. In the past, it took four hours.

Chinese scientists made headlines last year by cloning（克隆）a pair of monkeys-Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua. Their names come from the Chinese words zhonghua, or "Chinese nation ". The monkeys were cloned using the same techniques(技术）that were used to produce Dolly, the world's first cloned animal, about 20 years ago. The monkeys could be used as a model to study genetic(遗传的）diseases, including some cancers(癌症）.

As one saying goes, where there are Chinese people, there are kungfu legends. Jin Yong was regarded as one of the greatest kung fu fiction writers in China. And for many people, he built a magical kungfu kingdom that they could escape into every now and then. But this kingdom is falling apart now, because he passed away on October 30, 2018, at the age of 94.

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You must be unhappy because of it. You don't want to work. You stay in bed feeling sad.

What makes us ill? It's germs. Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope (显微镜). They are very, very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we can see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.

Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in the air and dust (灰尘). If you cut your finger, and if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs will go into your finger. Your finger will become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs will go into all of your body, and you will have pain everywhere.
