    Emergencies (紧急情况) don't happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.

    In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call tor emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly, The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.

    Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it's 999. If you're not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.

    When to call

    Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.

    When in an emergency call

    When you speak to the 911 operator (接线员) on the phone, it's always OK to give your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what's happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?

    Don't hang up (挂断)!

    If you have to dial 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it's OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.

Kids have lots of fun indoor activities nowadays. Three parents and educators are here to share how they encourage children to spend more time outside and connect with nature.

Susie

experienced

educator

To get kids off screen, I advise parents disconnect too. My students have come to enjoy looking out for birds. They also find joy in using binoculars (双筒望远镜) for birdwatching. One of my students is now known as the local 12-year-old birdwatcher in the community. He's now a better birdwatcher than I am!

Juan

outdoor club

volunteer

During a fishing trip with 30 kids aged 10 to 16, I had to get creative to keep them active. So, I came up with an idea: whoever catches a fish gets a gift. Although no one caught a fish, the kids loved it. Next month, we're going to have a boat racing on a nearby river. The key is to create an interesting space and give kids a reason to join in.

Linda

English teacher

When teaching English as a second language, I planned an outdoor math lesson: how to find the size of a garden bed (园圃). But my students didn't want to do it because of the insects (昆虫) and the hot weather, I then suggested growing something they could eat to make them more interested in the garden. This experience changed my mindset (观念) from "I'm taking them outside" to "We're going outside together".

Now more than one billion people in China speak putonghua, or Mandarin, as their first language. At the same time, dongbeihua, or northeast dialect (方言), has become more popular. The dialect makes even the most serious daily conversations sound fun.

Ms Ann, a Chinese language teacher, opened a class to teach middle school students dongbeihua in Heilongjiang Province. "I just hope to help the students learn more about the culture of their home town," said Ms Ann.

"It is important to inherit (继承) the northeast dialect in a new form,"she said. "For most students, they are speaking Mandarin or even English to adapt(适应) to society. They don't pay more attention to the dialect or the culture behind it. That's a pity. They need to pass it on."

Now there are over thirty students in her class. At first, some students believed it would not be difficult for the northeasterners to speak dongbeihua well. However, with the deepening of the class, the students could only speak some easy words and knew little about the meaning behind them. To increase students' interest, Ms Ann has been trying different ways. For example, she chose video clips from interesting cartoons for her students to dub (配音) them into dongbeihua.

Both Mandarin and dialect are the carriers (载体) of Chinese language and culture. Learning the dialect is learning our local culture and history.

 根据语篇内容,从方框中选择恰当的单词,并用其正确形式填空。将单词填写在答题卡对应的横线上。每个单词只能用一次。

Chinese New Year begins on doors and walls. Spring couplets (春联) stand for people's wishes for a happier {#blank#}1{#/blank#}in the coming year. It has a long history.

The couplets are written on{#blank#}2{#/blank#}paper. They are very important during the Spring Festival. People are very busy before the Spring Festival, but sticking couplets is usually the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}thing to do. When I was a child, my mother would ask me to take some {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to people who wrote couplets for us. When they were writing, I would watch how they used the brush pen(毛笔) to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} these great works.

Later when I was a little older, my parents encouraged me to learn{#blank#}6{#/blank#}to write couplets. I became greatly interested in it. Every time when we{#blank#}7{#/blank#}relatives during the Spring Festival, I was always happy to collect the poems of their couplets. The poems are hopeful words. They{#blank#}8{#/blank#}good wishes like "health, wealth and longevity(长寿)".

Now we can{#blank#}9{#/blank#}buy all kinds of beautiful couplets on the street. But the best wishes of couplets are the same. The red paper and black words are not only for writing the couplets, but also carry our{#blank#}10{#/blank#}for traditional culture. They will never be forgotten.
