    Many of us enjoy watching animals in the world. But do you know they can teach us?

    Geese(大雁), for example, teach a very good lesson about1  In the fall, Canada geese fly to the warm south to 2 Canada's cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet3 they form a V shape, with one bird leading the group.

    This V shape allows geese to 4 energy(能量). When the front bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of the air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The bird 5has the hardest job. When it gets 6 , it moves behind, and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the group can travel great distances (距离). Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without 7 than birds flying alone. During the long flying travel, geese communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫)to 8 the birds up front to keep up the speed I (速度). They also ,cheer each other up 9working toward a common goal (目标).

    What have we learned from the lovely geese's experience and skills?10 together! Whether it is our personal lives or our jobs, we need other people. We need the spirit of teamwork!

    One day, an l1-year -old girl asked her dad," What are you going to get me for my 15^th birthday?" The father replied," Don't worry about that. You still have lots of time "But on a day after her 14th birthday, she passed out and was rushed to the hospital. The family learned that the girl had a serious heart problem and that she might die. At night, she asked her dad, "Daddy, have they told you that I am going to die?" The father replied, "No, you will live as long as anyone else."

    She was curious (好奇的). "How can you be sure? He turned to her and said "I just know it."

    After he girl turned 15, she had a heart tapa(心脏移植手术).After recovering(恢复), she came home to find a letter on her bed.

    It said," My dearest daughter, if you are reading this, it means that everything went as I told you it would. One day you asked me what I would give you for your 15th birthday. I wasn't sure then. But now you know that my present to you is my heart. The father had donated(捐赠) his heart to his daughter.

    Parents are selfless(无私的). They often make great sacrifices (牺牲) to make their children happy. Keep this in mind when you feel angry toward your parents. Oftentimes, they're just doing what they think is best for you.

    Say you want to invite a friend to your birthday party. You can send a simple text message, but that would be boring. Instead, why not send a cartoon picture of a cake? This cake is just one of many emojis (表情符号)

    Emojis are creative picture-like characters. People use them to show their emotions in a text message or email. Most emojis are yellow faces that show human emotions. There are also little images(图像) that represent (图像)animals, symbols, shapes and food. Emojis have long been popular among cell phone users in Asia. They first came out in Japan in the 1990s. At that time, texting was just starting to take off in Japan. But people found that short and simple texts couldn't allow them to communicate well. If someone says," I get it", you don't always know what emotion they are trying to express (表达).

    That's when emojis were born. People find it interesting and quick to send a mood(语气) or joke in text. "Emoji plays the role that nonverbal (非语言的)I communication, like hand gestures(手势), does in conversation but on a cell phone," Prefessor S. Shyam Sundar at Pennsylvania State University told The New York Times.

    Today, there are about 845 emojis. Some of the most popular emojis are the heart shape and laugh-crying face, according to The Wire.

    Only a few days ago, the first China Huafu Day was held to encourage young Chinese people to wear and take pride in(以..为傲) hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group(汉族)

    The organizers said, "Traditional culture is the lifeblood of China. We hope young Chinese people can wear our traditional clothing during festivals to show China's unusual culture to the world. This will also make them understand the culture better and feel proud(自豪的) of being a Chinese." The event invited people to post their pictures in traditional clothes. By April 22nd 2018. it had already got over 155 million page views, with thousands of people sharing their pictures.

    Historically, hanfu has influenced (影响) many of the neighboring cultural clothing including the Japanese Kimono and Korean Hanbok. However, hanfu started to fade (衰弱) when Manchu people took control of China. Luckily, there has been a rise in popularity (普及) over recent years. According to Hanfu Information (HI), a hanfu promotion (宣传) group, over 21,000 sets of hanfu were sold online earlier this year. Another online survey by HI in 2017 showed that over 88% of people believe that wearing hanfu is a good way to learn about Chinese culture. It's true that the number of hanfu fans is growing.

    The organizers say they will make China Huafu Day a yearly event and they have set the third day of the third month of the traditional Chinese calendar as the date of the event?

    If you look at the top of your phone, you'll usually see a lite symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" is the generation(代)" of your mobile network (移动网络). But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.

    On March 30, 2019, Shanghai vice mayor (副市长) Wu Qing made the first SG video call on a Huawei Mate x smartphone, CGTN reported. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.

    About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download (下载) and upload data (数据) faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.

    For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag (延迟). When the car "sees" an obstacle (障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions (指令).

    However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might hit each other because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered (降低), making the cars safer, according to CNN. 5G could also be used to help the internet of things (IoT,物联网). IoT is a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speed will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically (自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

    When this story happened, they were working around a very large house. Their job was to do the cleaning. It was not a difficult job, but sometimes it was a little dangerous, because they had to walk below where workmen were working. These workmen often dropped something from the top of the house many meters high to the ground.

    One morning Joe was working near the house with a cigarette(烟) behind one of his ears. Suddenly somebody on the top shouted, "Look out!" But Joe did not "look out". He looked up. And as he did so, a long knife missed Joe's head, but it cut off one of his cars. At once he put his hand to one side of his head and cried out, "I've lost an ear. Help! Help!" Jeff ran up to help his friend. "Look for my ear," Joe told him." It must be on the ground somewhere." Jeff looked everywhere for the missing ear. At last he found an ear on the ground. He picked it up and carried it to Joe. "Here you are", he said, "I've found it." Joe looked at it." No, that's not my ear." He said," Mine had a cigarette behind it"

Jack walked into the bedroom because his wife and baby were sleeping.
