It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain 1almost a month. The crops were dying. If we 2see some rain soon, we would lose everything

    I was making lunch in the kitchen when I saw my3 son, Billy, walking towards the woods. He was walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes later, he was once again walking towards the woods. I 4 stand it any longer. I went out of the house and followed him.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (溢出）the water he carried.As I came closer, I saw5 sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked straight up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. But the deer 6 hurt him nor even moved as Billy got down. And then I saw a baby deer7 on the ground, thirsty, lift its head to lap up(舔) the water in my boy's hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap. Billy opened it and let the drip slowly fill up his "cup".8he stood up and began to turn back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes9 with tears. Very quickly, he explained 10he was not wasting water. The week before, he had made 11 same trouble with our horses,12 caused him a lecture from his father about the importance of not wasting water.

    This time, I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him 13 the baby deer alone , for it was 14job. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they15by other drops... more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. All I can say is that the rain came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved the little deer.

On May 15，Zhang Rongqiao wiped tears from his eyes as China's Mars rover （巡视器） Zhurong landed safely on Mars. "I was so excited，" said Zhang.

As the chief designer （总设计师） of China's Tianwen Ⅰ Mars mission （任务），Zhang was chosen by the journal Nature on Dec 16 as one of the top 10 people "who helped shape science" in 2021.Under Zhang，China made a huge step in interplanetary （行星向的） exploration. "I got a taste of the old Chinese saying ﹣ it takes 10 years to sharpen a good sword，" Zhang told Nature.

In the Mars mission，Zhang led a team of thousands of researchers.The team was not only responsible for technical work like launches and flight control，but also for scientific research on Mars.

There were many difficulties.They knew little about the strange and complex environment of Mars. "We may not even know what we do not know about，" Zhang told Nature.

During the process，Zhang played a key part in the decision to send an orbiter （轨道飞行器），a lander （着陆器） and a rover to Mars together in one shipment （运输） ﹣ making China the first country to do so. "That's a big leap （飞跃） because China is doing in a single go （what NASA took decades （数十年） to do），" said Roberto Orosei from the Institute of Radioastronomy of Bologna in Italy.

Zhang also made the important decision to land the rover on Utopia Planitia，where there are special landforms （地形） for scientists to study.He hopes that the mission can do as much research as possible and bring back "rich" information.

"The buck stops with him （他敢作敢当），" said David Flannery，an astrobiologist （天体生物学家） at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.

Hong Kong has forty public beaches(海滩). Some of the beaches are among the best in the world. People can go there for a swim. You can go to most of them by bus. To go to some beaches you must take a boat. There are toilets, changing rooms and places to buy food and drink on most of the beaches.

You will swim there without danger if you remember these instructions(提示):

1.Never swim alone. 

2. Never swim after a meal or when you feel hungry or tired. 

3. Do not stay in the water too long. 

4. Never go out in a boat if you cannot swim.

Remember: A red flag (旗)means that it is dangerous for anybody to go into the water. A blue flag means that it is dangerous for children.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Cooking Today. I'm Jack, and today we're going to make some crepes (薄煎饼). Seriously, friends, you will love these crepes.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Just put them on your kitchen table like I'm doing here. You'll need some sugar, too, because that's what makes the crepes sweet.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}You want one cup of flour (Et) and one cup of milk. And, of course, you want an egg. As for the sugar, you need just a little. Too much sugar will make your crepes taste bad.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Pour them nicely and slowly. Then stir (搅) them all together with a spoon. Yeah, that's it. Stir them until you get a nice batter（面糊）.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}You don't need a lot of butter. Just put a little bit in the pan. All right, now we're ready. All you do is to pour the batter on the pan. After about three minutes, you just get the crepes, and you're ready to eat!

What do you think will happen if someone adds too much sugar to the crepe batter? (no more than 20 words){#blank#}5{#/blank#}
