12．How to deal with homesickness
When you sleep somewhere else，like at a summer camp or a friend's house，you know you're there for a fun time．But for some kids，when they are away（66）from home they feel sad．They start to（67）misstheir own beds，their own parents，and all the things at home．It's called being homesick （想家的）．Do you want to feel less homesick？Here's how：
（68）Spend more time in doing fun things．The more fun things you do，the less time you'll have to feel homesick．So try to take part in （69）activities and soon you might start to have a good time．
You can plan to call your mum or dad．For a night visit，maybe you can call once that night，and（70）again in the morning．In the camp，you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home．You can also send e-mails or short （71）messages to keep in touch （保持联系） with family and friends．If you're away for a while，you might （72）even write a letter!When you contact someone，make （73）sure to tell them the fun things you're doing!
Sometimes，just tell someone that you're feeling homesick．This will （74）help you feel better，maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick．And the two of you can do something fun，（75）such as telling jokes．If you're at camp，a camp counselor （顾问） would be a good person to talk to．He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better．

11．What's going to happen in the future？Here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen 10to 30years from now．
=1．Digital money
We used to pay with cash （现金） for everything we bought．In fact，we are already using one type of digital money，when we swipe （刷） our bus pass or use a credit card （信用卡） to shop online．
You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pocket for change．It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash on your person．People in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year and the US might be next．
=2．Bionic（仿生的）eye
People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes．A blind eye can no longer sense light，but a bionic eye can use a camera to"see"the environment and send data into the brain．
Although the bionic eye that's out now only allow patients to see lights and unclear shapes，a high resolution（高清的） version could be just a few years away．
=3．Self-driving car
Unlike a human driver，a self-driving car won't be distracted （分神） by a phone call，the radio or something outside the window．Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to keep strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars．This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents．Many vehicle companies are now planning self-driving cars．By 2040，driverless vehicles will be the main vehicles on the road．

Thirty years in the（56）future
Digital money	Advantages	Using cards is much easier and （57）safer than using cash．
Digital money	The future	Sweden stopped taking cash last year and America may follow its（58）example．
Bionic eye	（59）Advantages	A bionic eye can use a camera to"see"the environment and send data directly to the brain so the （60）blind may have a chance to get their sight back．
Bionic eye	The future	Although now blind people wearing a bionic eye can only see lights and unclear shapes，there could be （61）better ones in just a few years．
Self-driving car	How it （62）works	Sensors and cameras make it possible to keep a safe distance from other cars．
	Advantages	A self-driving car will strictly keep to the （63）road rules and the number of road accidents will e greatly （64）reduced．
	The future	Many vehicle companies are planning self-driving cars． Driverless（65）cars/vehicles will no longer be science fiction in 30years．

10．American cities are similar to other cities around the world：In every country，cities reflect the values of the culture．American cities are changing，just as American society is changing．
After World WarⅡ，the population of most large American cities reduced； however，the population shifts（转移）to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society．In the late 1940s and early 1950s，city residents（居民）became wealthier．They had more children so they needed more space．They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes．They bought houses in the suburbs（郊区）．
Now things are changing，The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults．Many，unlike their parents，want to live in the cities．They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest．Many young professionals are moving back into the city．They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there； or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers．
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits．Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent （出租）．In the 1950s，many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs； now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities．
Only a few years ago，people thought that the older American cities were dying．Some city residents now see a bright，new future．Others see only problems and conflicts （冲突）． One thing is sure：many dying cities are alive again．

5．Is Your Diet Destroying The Environment？
A vegetarian diet is often praised for its health benefits．Vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease，and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes （糖尿病） than people who eat meat．However，most people don't realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth．
Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how people affect the environment．The study showed that eating meat is one of the main ways that humans can change the environment，second only to the use of motor vehicle．
Then，how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment？For a start，all farm animals such as cows，pigs，and sheep give off methane gas（沼气） by breathing．One cow can produce up to 60liters of methane each day．Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide．Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide．It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the air comes from farm animals．
Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land.2，500gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef while only 20gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat．One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40，000pounds of potatoes，30，000pounds of carrots，or 50，000pounds of tomatoes，however，one acre of farmland used for raising cows can produce just 250pounds of beef．
Many people now see the benefits of a vegetarian diet，not just for health reasons，but also because it  plays an important role in protecting the environment．However，some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian，or vegan diet．They believe a vegan diet，which excludes（拒绝） all products from animal sources，such as cheese，eggs，and milk，can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need．
Today，many people know that it is important to take better care of their bodies，and to use the earth's resources more efficiently．As this understanding spreads，more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive，more of us will need to become vegetarian．

4．The animal kingdom，in all its beauty and diversity （多样性），is like an old tree．Each branch is a family of species （物种），and each leaf is one kind of species．Thanks to British scientist Charles Darwin，we are able to see this beautiful tree of evolution （进化）．
Born in 1809，young Darwin was heading for a medical career．Later he found his love for the natural sciences．Then in 1831he took the ship HMS Beagle and set sail on a five-year scientific trip around the world．
During the trip，Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands，about 800kilometers west of Ecuador （厄瓜多尔），South America．The islands were home to many kinds of plants and animals．He noticed each island had a particular kind of bird，but they all looked a little different．It later helped his studies on evolution．
On his return to England in 1836，he sat down to solve the puzzles he collected on the trip．He later came up with a theory （理论） of evolution．And after 20years of hard work，in 1859，Darwin released the life-changing book，On the Origin of Species （《物种起源》），a very important theory in evolution and natural selection （选择）．
