Bears usually live in forests |and mountains. They often live in some places where we go camping or climbing. Sometimes you might happen I to meet a bear, and it can be dangerous if it feels frightened (恐惧的). For your own safety, you should do the following things.

•Do not make eye contact (目光接触).Bears feel that eye contact is not friendly.

•Stay calm and quickly pick up small children.

•Make noise, shout, or throw rocks at it to make it go away.

•Make yourself appear as large as possible to make it go away. Put up your arms, jacket, bag or other things over your head.

•Never get close to a bear. If it gets close to you, do not turn back or run away suddenly, because this may bring an attack (攻击). Instead, you can walk away slowly.

We should know that all bears can be dangerous and we should treat them cautiously. If you find a bear strange, please call your nearest Division of Wildlife Resources Office. The Division's job is to catch the bear that attacks or shows strange actions toward people.

Today, Mike and his mom went to the library. Mike wanted to find a book to read. His mom wanted to use a computer there.

When they got to the library, Mike found a book about detectives (侦探). He also found a book about a friendly ghost (鬼). Finally, he found a book about a man who lives in the woods without food or water. He put the books on the front desk and waited for his mom。

Mike's mom sat at one of the computers in the library. She checked her email and looked at pictures of flowers on the Internet. Then she read a news article on a website.

Mike's mom left the computer and walked over to Mike, holding up something out. Mike looked at her in surprise. It took him a moment to recognize (辨认出) what she was holding. "I got that movie for us to watch tonight," said Mike's mom. "Are you ready to leave?"

"Sure," Mike said, holding the movie up in front of him. He read the cover while walking back to the library entrance. He put his books and the movie on the front desk to check out. A librarian stood behind the counter holding an electronic scanner." How long can we keep them?" Mike asked her. "Three weeks," said the librarian, "Cool." said Mike.

Suddenly, Mike was surprised. His mother was checking out something else that was too big to put on the desk. It's a picture of the ocean. "What is that for?" Mike asked. "To put on our wall at home," said Mike's mom "You can do that?" Mike asked. Mike's mom smiled at the librarian. "Yes," she said, "but we have to return it in three months."

Do you know something about tree rings (年轮)？Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like even hundreds of years ago?

A tree will grow well in a climate (气候) with lots of sunshine and rainfall (雨量) And little sunshine or rainfall will limit (限制) the growth of a tree. We can see the change of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count (数) the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we're sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is close to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.

Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand but no trees, no people. What happened?

A scientist studied the rings of the dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. Because all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.

KINGS HOTEL- CUSTOMER COMMENTS

I cannot say enough good things about the Kings Hotel. Till rooms were large, clean and comfortable and the hotel workers were excellent. They were even able to book several sightseeing trips to different parts of the city for us. Next time I come to London I will certainly be staying there again. Bob smith Manchester, UK: February 2018

The hotel's restaurant made the best food I have ever tasted. I am still dreaming about their roast beef and potatoes. I had it for lunch and dinner almost every day I was there. I wanted to have it for breakfast too, but it wasn't on the breakfast menu. The restaurant was a little expensive and the waiters were a bit careless but I still think the hotel was great. Rachel Jones New York, USA: December 2017

I just want to tell visitors something about the swimming pool, at the Kings Hotel. When I was there, the water was very dirty, almost green. It really made me feel sick. When my drink fell in the water I asked the worker if I could have another one. After waiting for half an hour he still had not brought me one, so I returned to my room. At least the room was very nice. Michael Palin Sydney, Australia: August 2017

This time last year I was in London for the first time and stayed at this hotel. I found the workers there to be very friendly and helpful. The manager kindly gave me directions to the London Museum and Big Ben and one time he even had a worker take me to the train station entrance. My room was also wonderful and from the window I could see the Thames River. Ma Li Beijing, China: June 2017

£6 for a cup of coffee in the cafe! £3 for a postcard in the gift shop! £33 for a T-shirt from the clothes store! I never be coming back here. That's for certain. Julie Whinger Paris, France: May 2017

After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied OLT cosmology (宇宙论). As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.

At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, Before my illness was diagnosed, I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.

Hawking died at 76. He was a man who pushed the limits. He strongly believes that his story shows that no matter how bad their situation is, you just have to do the best you can in your own situation.
