    These days, the Puy du Fou theme park in Western France welcomed six very special cleaners—Boubou, Bamboo, Bill, Black, Bricole and Baco. They are six crows (乌鸦)! As part of the daily show, the theme park has already trained the crows to pick up roses and bring them to a “princess” in a castle (城堡).

    Workers at the park have taught the crows to pick up small pieces of rubbish. The crows move the rubbish (垃圾) into a small box. After helping to clean the park, they get bird food for their hard work.

    “The park is very clean,” Nicolas de Villiers, the head of the park, said, “The purpose of the crows is to teach people, to open up their minds to think.”

    As a regular (定期的) visitor to the park, Simons, ever said after watching it, "OK! The birds are able to do something that we are much more able to do than them. It shows that we humans cannot throw rubbish everywhere.”

    Earlier this year, Josh Klein taught the crows to collect money and drop it in a special machine. After six months of training, he found that the crows could remember how to get food by working.

A、Because the park was not clean. B、Because the crows are the smartest of all the birds. C、Because the park could pay the cleaners less. D、Because they could remind people to protect the environment (环境).

Along with firewood (柴), rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global (全球的) attention as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China's tea culture has developed social custom. It is Chinese tradition that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night:

Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing (煮沏) methods, dating back (追溯) to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people can enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a faster and more convenient method become more popular—steeping (冲泡).

However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, here are over 40,000 posts on the topic of "stove-boiled" tea (围炉煮茶). They roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times.

Through "stove-boiled" tea, people can taste a slower life and find their inner peace (内心平). As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, "It is very relaxing to drink hot tea and chat with best friends."

Perry is one of the Australia's most famous women cricketers(板球运动员). She shares her ideas about having dreams and how to make them come true.

 In Perry's view, a dream has to be realistic(现实的). It has to be something you can actually do. " When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a musician and giving concerts(音乐会) to people from all over the world. But that's not realistic because I'm not good at it, Perry said.

 It's true that all the little dreams we have can lead to a big one. In the beginning. Perry just wanted to be a cricketer. Then, she kept working hard and tried to dream bigger. Now she has the chance to fight for her country in cricket. " That's hard to imagine when I started out, said Perry.

 As we all know, not everything can happen perfectly. All we have to do is never to give up. As a sports person, Perry may lose a game sometimes. Instead of thinking about something bad, she always tells herself." Be persistent(坚持的). Things will get better soon if you never give up.

 Finally, Perry tells us that confidence(自信心) is what gets you through the hardest times. " While facing problems, don't lose heart. Always have confidence in yourself and believe in yourself. When you believe you can, you really can," she said.
