Canada 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.

    Canada is a big country with six time zones. In the west, it is four a.m., and everyone is asleep, but in Halifax on the east coast it is eight o'clock and people are having breakfast. It is a cold Friday morning in November, and the temperature is ten degrees below zero Centigrade(度).
Argentina 9:00 a.m.
    In Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, it is nine a.m. on a warm summer morning, and people are starting work or school. November is a summer month in Argentina because it is in the southern hemisphere(半球).
Scotland 12:00 noon
    Scotland is part of the United Kingdom. The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh, and the capital of the UK is London. It is twelve noon, or midday, in Edinburgh. Children are having lessons, but they are looking forward to the weekend because there is no school on Saturday and Sunday.
Egypt 2:00 p.m.
    Friday is already the weekend in Egypt. Friday is a special day for Muslims, so schools, offices and shops are closed in all Arab countries. So now, at two p.m., most people in Egypt are having lunch with their families.
Japan 9:00 p.m.
    Japan is seven hours ahead of Egypt, so it is already Friday evening there. The weekend is beginning. Most people are out with friends or watching television or playing computer games.
New Zealand 12:00 midnight
    It is late on Friday night, so most people are asleep. Now Saturday morning is arriving. It is morning in Canada too, but that is Friday morning!

    How much do you know about the bird world?

    Birds use three gaits: walking, running and hopping．

    In walking, the left and the right feet move in turn (轮流)．Each foot is on the ground for more than half the time, so there are more times when both feet are on the ground．In running, each foot is on the ground for less than half the time, and there are more times when both feet are off the ground．In hopping, the feet move almost at the same time．This means that for much of the time both feet are off the ground．

    Middle-sized and large birds walk at low speed and either run or hop at higher speed．Small birds, such as sparrows and swallows, usually do not walk, because walking may be too slow for them．It seems that the more time a bird spends in trees, the more likely it is to hop．Perhaps there is wide space in a tree between one thin branch (树枝) and the next, so walking is not a good choice, while on each small branch there is enough room to set both feet down side by side, so hopping seems to make sense．

    Have you ever heard of e-waste(electric waste,电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one?

    Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

    It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful（有害的）, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市矿藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化学物质） can get into the earth or air,effectingthe environment and people's health.

    Apple, for example, now recycle people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce（减少）e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

Kids' birthday parties are more fun than adults (成人的) parties. And there are four things for parents to remember when they want to have a birthday party for their kids.

Make a list(列清单). Each kid wants different kinds of parties. Write down all your child's ideas on a piece of paper and then get things ready according to the list.

Make invitations. Make sure you write down the name of each guest (客人), so you will know the number of the things you have to prepare, such as chairs and plates.

Buy something to eat. You need to decide whether to buy a cake or make one. Decide what kind of food to have. Make sure to get the food ready on time. If you go to a party store, there will be everything you need and you won't have to go to different stores to get everything ready.

Prepare some drink. You should buy some drinks, such as Coke and juice. I think the best drink is a small bottle of cold water if it is hot in summer.

要求：1. 要写出图示和提示的所有内容；
