An Act of Kindness

    I had nothing for breakfast that morning. I was so 1 that I could hear my stomach growling (咕咕叫)when my history teacher was giving a lesson. So when the school bell rang, I rushed to the 2 at once. Minutes later, I stood in front of the counter (收银台), holding a plate full of food.

    "Three dollars," the lunch lady told me. I reached my hand into my 3 and felt nothing. The schoolbag was empty. I put the schoolbag on the floor to look for the money again. As I finally 4 the money wasn't there, I could feel the worry and fear washing over me.

    Feeling quite 5 , I didn't notice that another person had stepped up to the counter. I finally 6 to tell the lunch lady my situation. I saw, in the corner of my eye, a boy walk quickly past. I paid no attention to him, and I opened my mouth to speak.

    "I'm sorry. I don't have any money with me."

    "Honey, he paid for your lunch. You're good," the lunch lady said as she pointed to the direction the 7 had gone.

    But I could not find him, I missed the chance to 8 him. He was nameless to me. He didn't 9 know me. But he paid for my lunch. Although it was only10 dollars, I couldn't remember anyone doing something so nice for me.

    A month later, on my way home, I saw an elderly woman struggling (费力) with heavy bags. I suddenly thought of the nameless boy who 11 me lunch.

    "Excuse me, madam, do you need help?"

    I'll never forget her 12 as I rushed forward to lend her a hand. It's the very prize for my act of kindness.

    To become a better reader, we could learn to improve our reading comprehension(理解) skills like learning new vocabulary from the context, finding out the main idea and making inferences(推测).

    What is context?

    Context means all the words in a sentence or all the sentences in a paragraph. If you find a word you do not know, look at the words around it. These other words can help you understand what the words mean.

    What is a main idea?

    The main idea of a story tells what it is about. The other sentences add details to the main idea.

    Often the main idea is started in the first or last sentence of the paragraph. Sometimes you may find the main idea in the middle of the paragraph.

    What is an inference?

    An inference is a guess you make after thinking about what you already know. For example, a friend invites you to a party. From what you know about parties, you might infer that there will be games, gifts, food and drinks.

(a)

    Stevie Wonder was blind from birth. This did not prevent him from using his talent. He found that he was good with music. He learned how to play many instruments. He wrote his own songs. At the age of 12, he sang his first hit. Since then he has made many records. He has even written music for movies.

(b)

    In the fall of each year, the days grow shorter and shorter. We finally reach a time when the days and nights last about the same number of hours and minutes. During these days, the full moon is called a harvest moon. It rises soon after the Sun goes down. It is often a deep orange color. Since the Moon is so bright, farmers have more time to harvest their crops(收割庄稼). That's why it's called a harvest moon.

(c)

    The Smithsonian is a big museum. The bones(骨头) of animals that lived long ago are kept there. You can also see clothes, tools and cars that people have used in the past. The first U.S. rocket is there, too.

    COVID-19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about our lifestyles. The sharing economy (共享经济) , working in open offices, living in crowded apartments and the food industry's use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic (大流行).

    It's cheaper to rent (租用) than to own, so the sharing economy might be good, but sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus (传播病毒). How does one keep away from others when they are expected to share cars, bikes, apartments and even the same offices?

    The trend of using open offices, which can save space, is working against us. In this type of office, workers don't have their own desk- everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic(卫生的). Fortunately, more workers are working from home during pandemic, butthatwon't last forever.

    Reusability is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unluckily, reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling customers' reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.

    People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact (交往) with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.

    Many countries all over the world have National Parks. Most of them protect natural settings as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities. There are nine National Parks in England.

    Are National Parks in England the same as those in other countries?

    Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is used for farming and other activities. So there people live and work.

    Why do visitors go to the National Parks?

    There are many activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or cycle, following marked routes, and many of the parks organize activities for families.

    Are there any problems in the National Parks?

    There are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year. That causes problems. Many popular towns and villages can be overcrowded, car parks and roads are full of traffic. Also, life can be difficult for people who live there, because more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops. Another main problem is litter. In the parks it is dangerous to animals.

    How can people help?

    All National Parks in England call on the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If people follow these rules, the National Parks will be protected and give happiness to many people for a very long time.
