One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop.She seemed not to go to work hurriedly.She wasn't going anywhere as well.Was she waiting for the bus?Did mall（商场）buses come this early when the stores wouldn't be open for hours?As I drove by,I heard a voice say, "Give her a bottle of water, "

 "She looks like she is sleeping.Why would I wake her?What is wrong with me?What is so hard about doing the right thing?It's just a bottle of water!"

So I drove by her again and again.Finally,I pulled my car into a parking zone,stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other.Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus.No words can describe what happened between us at that moment.I thought I was bringing her a cold drink,but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed.We sat together for a while as she talked.She had a sad story to tell,but she was no longer sad.Before we parted,I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks.We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.

 I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act.Why did it take me many circles around the mall and an argument with myself?I oncewaveredbetween helping her and ignoring her.All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop,a miracle happened.

 There are opportunities for us to love every day.Maybe our doubts keep us from acting.Maybe we don't want to take the risk or be uncomfortable.That day,I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.

During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, wearing masks is widely believed to be a simple but effective method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let's take a look at some mask-related history.

1st century

In that era, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory(呼吸的) illnesses. To handle this problem, Pliny the Elder(23-79 AD), a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder(膀胱) skins to stop dust from being inhaled(吸入). Although primitive, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.

16th century

Early inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519), suggested using a woven cloth dipped in water over the face to protect against the toxic(有毒的) chemicals.

19th century

The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent(注册专利) a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki designed a simple mask made up of one layer of gauze(纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of a surgical mask.

20th century

In 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called "Wu's mask". Made of two layers of surgical gauze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by many experts around the world, as it was simple to make and had a low production cost.

Modern exploration

With several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu, and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can filter out(过滤掉) this fine particulate(微粒) matter, became highly popular.

Birds are becoming popular as pets,but unlike owners with more common pets,owners of birds are often not familiar with the behavioural patterns(行为模式) of the animal which allow them to recognise what the pet needs and wants.For example,most of us can recognise the behaviour a dog exhibits when he is hungry or wants attention,but how many of us know how birds go about showing the same feelings?

 By learning about the behavioural patterns of the bird,his owner canforgea stronger relationship with the pet.Owners can learn how to read birds' body language,including movements of the eyes, wings, tail and beak(喙).In addition,the sounds the bird makes can also show the mood,desires,and requirements of the pet.

A bird's eyes are different from a human's.While both birds and humans have pupils(瞳孔) and irises (虹膜), birds have the ability to control the size of their pupils by enlarging and reducing their irises quickly.This behaviour,flashing,is something birds may do when they are angry,interested,or frightened.

 A bird also communicates through the use of his wings.A bird may lift or open his wings as a sign of happiness.But if the bird starts opening and closing his wings,it may signal anger or pain.If a bird fails to fold his wings against his body,and instead lets them hang by his sides,the bird may be ill.Healthy adult birds will typically tuck（折起） their wings against their bodies when they are at rest.

 Birds often use their tail feathers to communicate,so an understanding of this behaviour will help the pet's owner. A bird may move his tail from side to side,called wagging,to express happiness (similar to dogs in behaviour and meaning).Happiness is also the emotion expressed by other kinds of tail movements,such as moving up and down.However,if a bird fans his tail feathers out,it is usually a way to show anger or aggression.

Going to outer space is a little like going camping. Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn't spoil (变坏). So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.  

On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate.  To keep food from floating (漂浮) away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray (托盘). The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut's lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut's nose.

 So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw (吸管) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.

Some, such as apples and pudding, are the same as the foods you eat on Earth. Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs (碎屑).  Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too.

During take-off and landing, astronauts can't leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers (尿布) under their spacesuits instead. The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away.  

A.Liquids float right out of cups and glasses.

B.But there's no gravity in space.

C.In outer space, everything seems to be different.

D.Rubbish from daily life can not be thrown everywhere.

E.Some, such as dried pears, taste good right out of the packet.

F.Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut's eye.

G.A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.
