We live in a fast-paced(快节奏的), technology-packed world where we spend most of our time indoors playing computer games or using social media(媒体). But do you remember when you spent most of your time outside, running, playing, and laughing with your friends?
Leaving your tech behind may seem difficult, but if you lose yourself in nature, you’ll probably forget all about it. Scientist Albert Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
In the US, June is Great Outdoors Month. They want to get more kids outside to have active fun once again. Former(前任) US President Barack Obama wrote in a paper declaring(宣告) the day in 2012, “Nature offers each of us the chance to get active, discover something, and make our relationships with family and friends strong.”
The US Union Creek Resort website noted, “We all know how fast life can be, so it’s never too soon or too late to create happy memories that we will cherish and share forever.”
Besides making us feel happy, science supports the idea that outdoor activities can cut down stress. “Fresh air and sunlight have the largest advantages,” wrote Susanne Preston, a mental health expert at South University, US. “With increased exposure(暴露) to natural sunlight, incidents of seasonal affective disorder(季节性情绪失调) fall and the vitamin D in people’s skin helps to relax their moods(心情).”
What could be a better way to help out with daily stress than to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors?

About 800 years ago, a Chinese man named Wang Hu made the world’s first rocket, but unluckily he lost his life with it. It was not until April 24, 1970 that China sent its first satellite Dongfanghong-1 to space successfully.
To celebrate the first big success for the country’s space development, April 24 is now China’s Space Day, which started this year. While celebrating, China also announced(宣布)new plans to make a space station and go to Mars and further space.
A space station is like a home for astronauts in space, Astronauts live and work on a space station and spaceships can even park there. China plans to finish building its space station in 2022.
According to China’s top space scientist, Zhou, Jianping, by that time, becoming an astronaut will be a normal job. Astronauts are needed more than ever before. They need to be able to finish more tasks. So far, China has been choosing astronauts mainly from pilots. In the future astronauts will also be picked from engineers, doctors and space technology experts.
Another plan is about Mars. In order to search Mars, China will send a probe(探测器)first to Mars around 2020. It will land there and even bring back things from the Mars.
It’s such a big plan! Only by doing this can China say it has truly started the exploration of deep space. And the exploration will help us understand how the universe changes.

On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued (公布)a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform(平台), where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection(感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.
1.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because ________.
A.children may be infected by virus B.they don’t like the idea of online learning
C.children’s study may be affected D.parents have no time to look after children
2.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?
A.To keep playing online games. B.To keep touching different people.
C.To do some physical exercises outside. D.To teach children about health knowledge.
3.Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Students would rather go to school. B.The date of going to school is decided.
C.Online teaching will help students study. D.Parents believe children can teach themselves.
4.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.A Special Way to Learn at Home B.A New War with a New Chance
C.A Way to keep Mentally Healthy D.A Method to Make Parents Worried
The store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr stared at him and said, “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you’d be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.” Alfred’s face got red. After a few seconds, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I’m going to have to put you in prison.”
Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I’m Alfred’s mother. Is he in trouble?” she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred’s mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a pardon for her son. But no, she was calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “You are right” he said, “Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life, and it often takes the youth long time to get sense into their heads.” And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Back home, without even looking at Alfred, the mother said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed. “In his bedroom, Alfred just took pride in his mother’s strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he was shocked by what he saw. His mother was lifting the tea cup, her hand shook, and her face became a frightened, broken one. It was no longer cool, bright as he saw earlier in the store. With her lips moving nervously, she looked so old.
