It is nice to hike with kids, but you must know something about hiking if you want to take a happy, relaxing trip.

    Start early, know what to do in a heavy rain and carry sunglasses. Take snacks, toilet paper and a bag with you. Take a whistle(口哨) for kids. You may use it if children run away.

    Find a partner. Kids are naturally competitive, and you can use this to your hike. They will try to do better than each other when they go hiking. They also will keep each other interested in something new.

    Do something easy. It's good to play easy games. You can say "Does anybody see anything red that matches my shirt?" Kids will be easy and happy to answer this kind of questions.

    If you aren't excited, they won't be either. When your kids find something they are interested in, you must show your interest in it, too.

Time spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable. If you go to a good shop, no assist ant will come near to you and say, "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. You may just try to find out where the book you want is and read it. But if you fail, the assistant will lead you there and then he will go away.①It seems that he is not interested in selling any books at all.

There is a story which tells us about a good shop. A medical student found a very useful book in the shop. ②But it was too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't get it from the school library, either. So every afternoon, he went there to read a little at a time. One day, however, he couldn't find the book from its usual place and was leaving when he saw an assistant singing to him. To his③      , the assistant pointed to the book in the corner. "I put it there so that it couldn't be sold out."said he assistant. Then he left and the student went on with his reading.

China sent three astronauts (宇航员) to its space station on Tuesday. The astronauts flew in a rocket called Shenzhou-16. It's the first time a regular (普通的) person from China is going to space. It's really exciting!

The rocket took off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre. The astronauts flew for more than six hours to reach the space station's central part, Tianhe. Everything went well, and the astronauts were feeling good now.

Many workers from the space program were there to see the rocket launch. Kids played and waved Chinese flags. People said "wow" loudly and wished the astronauts good luck as the rocket went up in smoke.

The crew has Jing Haipeng, who is on his fourth time to go to space. He's with Engineer Zhu Yangzhu and Professor Gui Haichao from Beihang University. Gui Haichao is the first regular person from China to go to space. China was the third country to send human into space.

The Shenzhou-16 crew will meet the Shenzhou-15 crew, who will return to Earth soon. They will do many experiments, and the space station was filled with water, clothes and food earlier this month.

China really wants to make its "space dream" come true. They plan to build a base on the moon by 2030. Lin from CMSA said, "The main goal is to have Chinese astronauts land on the moon and do experiments there."

If you want to be a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading? Some people read very quickly and others read very slowly. But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down to read instructions(说明书) carefully. The slow reader may be a good reader. But he may spend too much time reading a story for fun. So the reader who reads everything quickly or the one who reads everything slowly isn't really a good reader. Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading can help you to know whether(是否)you need to read quickly or slowly. Some things should be read slowly. You must read these things slowly all the time to understand and remember everything important. Examples(例子)are instructions for making or doing something. Also, math books, science and even some storybooks are full of important information. However, some things should be read quickly. Examples are picture-books for enjoyment, letters from friends , and some quick news from newspapers.

In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast. You will need to read some pages quickly and then slow down and do more carefully reading when you come to important ideas. So, knowing when to change your reading speed is one important symbol of being a good reader.

 Why are Modern Young People So Afraid to Answer the Phones?

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} The survey of 2,000 people also found that nearly 70% of the people between 18and 34 prefer sending messages to talking on the phone.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} However , people between 18and 34 use the phone only to speak to their families from time to time and just for emergencies(紧急情况) .

 More than half of the young people in the survey mentioned that an unexpected call means bad new for them . {#blank#}3{#/blank#} But not talking on the phone doesn't mean these young people's phones always remain silent—They always share the latest hot news, show photos of great moments and leave voice message in chat groups.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} We can leave the scary phone calls behind in 2024, just as we gave up the fax machine in the1990s.

Which one do you prefer, sending messages or talk on the phone? Why ?(Answer with no more than 15 words.) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
