短文填空

Most parents want us to be the best. Very often, they compare us to others.  doing this, they try to encourage us to do better. They mean well, but the message we often get is that we're not good enough. We begin to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than someone else, but we are often disappointed.will always be someone who is better than we are at something. Plenty of people around may not be as smart we are, but they are better at sports. Or they may not be as good-looking, but they have more money. It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.

We all want the things that make us better people. But we don't realize we already have the most important things we want inside us. These things make us different from others. When we are growing up, parents sometimes forget to tell us that we are special. Anyway, it's up to us to remind them that each of us  special in our own way. What we are is enough.

    Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.

    In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

    Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

    Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘). People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

    Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.

Ghosts of our loved ones

Many people think things like ghosts and death are scary. But in fact, we just had a festival celebrating these things.

Every year, on the 15th day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar, we celebrate Zhongyuan Festival, or Ghost Festival. It is on August 30th this year. On this day, families light lanterns to help dead people find their way home. But at the same time, living people don't want to stay out at night during Ghost Festival. They believe ghosts may hurt them.

Ghost Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day, or Qingming Festival are both holidays that honor the dead. During Ghost Festival, the spirits of all dead people are honored. But we only honor our dead family members at Qingming. People believe the spirits of the dead would come back to Earth during Ghost Festival, but not during Qingming.

In Chinese culture, death is a scary and heavy thing. People are mostly afraid of it. But in some other cultures, death is a less gloomy(阴郁的) thing. 

In the US, people remember the dead on Halloween. But they make it a fun festival. People wear scary clothes. Children do fun things, like trick-or-treating.

In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a time for the living to connect with the dead. They make dolls of the dead and tell stories about them. There are also parties at night. Whether you like it or not, death is apart of life. Understanding death can help us cherish(珍惜) our time here and live best lives.

Zhi Nong was a photographer who was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged (笼中的) bird in the big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and wanted to close to the nature.

His chance soon came. In 1983, be helped make a movie about birds. What he did before led him to take photos of flying birds.

In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He borrowed a camera and began to study how to use it. During that time, the library have favourite place where he first read some and began to study how to use it. During that time, the library became his favourite place where be first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door to nature for him.

In 1992, a research programme was set up to protect a kind of unusual monkeys which only live in China. Usually, the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It brought a lot of difficulties to Zhi Nong's work, but he never stopped. "I didn't see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time." said Zhi Nong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get great photographs of the monkeys.

Three years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to notice the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the World Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

In order to call up (号召) more people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started "China Wildlife Photography Training Camp". He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.
