    As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune(不幸)”. Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a doctor in Guangdong, who 1 many people's lives in 2003.

    In 2003, SARS 2 in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and other parts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers. Hundreds of 3 even died from the  disease. Even many doctors and nurses got SARS when they treated patients. So everyone was afraid of it. But Zhong was 4 enough to fight the disease. Zhong spent days and nights to find the cause 5 the disease. And with his way of treating, many patients began to get better. Zhong finally won people's trust.

    In early 2020, a disease called Novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎) hit Wuhan. It spread 6 around tens of thousands of Chinese people were infected (感 染). Zhong, 84, led 7 team to Wuhan to fight the illness. Zhong's team took many measures to cure the patients with Novel coronavirus pneumonia.

    The Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.

    To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场), the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage，they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.

    One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.

    How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.

    Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly(直接地) in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.

    Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.

    Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.

     There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”

     The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns(刺) !”

     "What a proud flower! " thought the trees.

    As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”

     The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "God did not create any form of life without a purpose. "

     Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt(枯萎).

     One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.

     "The cactus has water? " asked the rose.

     Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help. "

     The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.

     The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again.

     Worried about how many calories(卡路里) you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? A new iPhone app MealSnap may help. Users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately.

     MealSnap was developed by DailyBurn, a health social network that wants to help its users lead healthier lifestyles. It has created several other health and diet-related iPhone apps. The app gives users a quick reply. To do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank (数据库) with the calorie information of nearly 500, 000 kinds of food. Users then get the range of calories for the meal that is photographed.

     We started with something simple--an apple. A couple of minutes later, the app replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. More impressive was the reply we received after sending a photo of a mixed salad bowl. MealSnap replied that in the bowl was “yellow rice with corn, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 789 calories.

     What's more, MealSnap can act as a food diary. No need to write down what they've eaten, the photos will be stored. The users can keep a visual record. It's like a food journey, but easier. All you do is to take the picture. Knowing the calorie range makes you think more about what you are eating and whether it is healthy enough.
