Did you hear the song called Heartbeat? It's very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in the world. Zade Dirani released (发布) this song {#blank#}2{#/blank#} March 15^th 2018 to remember the seven years of war (战争) in Syria. In the song, one of the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is Ansam. She is a ten-year-old girl. When she was born (出生), she couldn't see {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. But later people found she could sing very well. She sang the song Heartbeat with another 40 children. They all lost their parents in the war. In this song, children hope (希望) they can have a happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and there is no war in Syria. But many people lost their homes {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the war broke out (爆发) on April 13^th 2018 again. Everybody hopes the war can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. We hope all the kids have food to eat. They can live with their parents. They can study in the classroom. They can sing under the trees and swim in the sea.

    We are lucky to live in a great {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, China. Now we have food to eat. We are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in the classroom. We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reading books in the library. So we should study hard and love our parents and friends.

In San Francisco, there is a special group of volunteers. They call themselves Friends of the Urban (城市的) Forest (FUF). These volunteers want to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Every year, the FUF plants nearly 1,000 trees.

The FUF welcomes new volunteers all year round and in all parts of its work. On Weekend Planting Days, FUF volunteers work with common citizens (市民) to plant trees. The planting usually runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. After the work is done, everyone {#blank#}2{#/blank#} over a community lunch.

On Thursday Planting Days, the FUF plants "replacement (替换) trees". As their name suggests, these trees replace trees {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Planting Leaders are very experienced volunteers. They are able to help other volunteers at planting events. Planting Leaders usually wear a special FUF T-shirt. Some new volunteers know little about "replacement trees". They can easily find Planting Leaders and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

The night sky is our earliest library. There，we stored our knowledge，and passed it down around the fire

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} That night，I saw Saturn，one of the planets，and you were a part of it.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Although starlight is good，light pollution on Earth can be a real problem. For the past 200 years or so，we have used too much electricity to make the night brighter.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}When a lot of light shines up into the sky，some problems may appear. 

Luckily，some cities have taken action，like setting up new downward﹣directing lights along the streets or controlling unnecessary lighting.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} I hope we can watch the night sky in a way humans have watched for thousands of years. 

In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping offered to build a Silk Road Economic Belt (经济带) and a 21st Century Maritime (海上) Silk Road, which became known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI, "一带一路"倡议). The BRI has brought cultures together for over ten years. As the BRI continues to bring the world together, young people from the Belt and Road countries can see how it continues to develop and have a deeper understanding of it. We did a survey of 125 Chinese students. The following survey is about BRI in the eyes of the students. The diagrams (图表) below show the results.

In the 1900s, Father's Day was created when Louise Smart wanted to show her deep {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to her own father, William Smart, who was lonely when his wife died at giving birth. Mr. Smart raised his six children on a rural farm in a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} state of America. When Louise grew up, she wanted to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} her love to her father. So, in 1909, she advised a day to honor her father in June (the month of her father's birth).

The {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Father's Day followed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge showed support of this becoming a national holiday. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, it wasn't until 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson officially announced(宣布) Father's Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June.

①Eleuthera is a great place for people to enjoy pineapples. There is a big festival—— Eleuthera Pineapple Festival. It has a history of over 30 years. It is in early June on the Island of Eleuthera. The festival of 2024 is from 7 June to 8 June. Every year people from all over the Bahamas and other places come here to enjoy this festival. Delicious foods and drinks are everywhere at the festival. Everyone can find something to enjoy.

②Not only the foods and drinks, there are also many interesting activities(活动) for visitors to enjoy. One fun activity is the pineapple- eating race. People must eat a pineapple without using their hands. The one who eats up the pineapple first wins.

③Visitors can also make different kinds of foods like cakes, salads, juices and ice cream by using pineapples. Some people try the dishes and find the best one as the winner. Another cool activity is the music show. Some musicians sing and play music there. You can watch them sing and dance to the music together.

④For the people who live in the Island of Eleuthera, the festival is also a big thing. They show and se ll beautiful things that are made with their hands. Some people sell food and drinks. Some even ask the visitors to have meals with them.

⑤The Eleuthera Pineapple Festival is a big party for everyone. Do you know other fruit festivals around the world?
