When you have good friends, the best way to get to know them better is to have a sleepover. Let me tell you more about it.

Some have them once a week or just once a month. When you want to have a sleepover with your friends, your parents usually call or text your friends' parents to ask about a suitable date first. The last step is to finish your homework before you get together with your friends so you can enjoy your time together.

But there is one problem: What if the parents don't want so many children to be in the house all day? It could be a park, a swimming pool, a theater or just somewhere down the road.

You can have a water fight in the garden. You can play hide-and-seek in the house. When you play, you can enjoy delicious food and drinks. I believe you'll have a good time with your friends.

A. In the UK, friends have sleepovers very often.

B. Do you have any problems with making new friends?

C. Well, they usually find another place to take the children.

D. There are many fun games you can play with your friends at a sleepover.

E. Then, you have to choose whose house you can stay at—your own or your friends' house.

F. A sleepover usually includes having a party and sleeping next to your good friends all night.

Do you know the little cute thing in the picture? "It's a Labubu." I think this is answer. You're right. Now it is a favourite of many young people. It's also a of fashion (时尚).

The man next to the picture is Kasing Lung, the "Father of Labubu". He is 53 years old and from Hong Kong, China, but of the time, he lives in Belgium with his family. He loves reading, drawing and.

Kasing Lung some really lovely elves (精灵) to us in his book The Monsters. From the book, we know about Zimomo, Tycoco, Spooky, Pato, and, of course, Labubu.

The group of Labubu has about 100 members. They all live in the forest. They are not big, just like. They have long ears and each nine special teeth. And they always wear a smile. For them, everything is new and fun.

"A girl!?" Matthew says in surprise. "I come for a boy."

He sees a child of about eleven, with a small face and red hair.

"Are you Mr. Cuthbert of Green Gables? I'm Anne Shirley. But I like to be called Cordelia. It's a beautiful name, right? I'm so happy to live with you!" she says excitedly. She keeps talking on the way.

When getting home, his sister Marilla stands at the door. "Matthew, who is this? Where is the boy?"

"They sent a girl, not a boy." He answers sadly.

"You don't want me, because I'm not a boy." The girl feels down after hearing that.

"Well, don't be sad. You can stay here, but just for tonight." Marilla says to the girl.

That night, Marilla talks with Matthew. "You're getting older. We need a boy to help with your farming work. We must send her back tomorrow."

Matthew speaks quietly. "She's a nice little thing and she doesn't have parents. Marilla, maybe she needs us more than we think. I can get a boy from the village."

Marilla thinks for a while and says, "OK, she can live with us, but I hope she can be a useful one."

The next morning, Marilla tells the girl, "Anne, you may stay. But you must promise (承诺) to be a good girl."

Anne cries and says, "Thank you very much! I'll try to be nice and kind."

Anne Shirley has a home at last.

Liam Quinn, a 37-year-old musician, is one of them. He lives on a river in London. He loves waking up to see the water around and swans swimming outside his home. "It's such a quiet and relaxing place for me to stay in and I feel really free because my boat is in the busy city center for one month, and then I move to a peaceful lake near a beautiful farm!" he says.

But the life on a boat isn't always fun. Liam has to clean the toilet every day and leave the boat for shopping in the town or city. Cooking is also a problem. Still, he loves his life on the water. "You learn to fix (修理) things yourself and make lots of new friends." he smiles. "Everyone is friendly and there to help!"

Our school is beautiful. My desk is the window, so I can see the trees and flowers outside.

Besides, all my teachers are very nice. When I have problems with my lessons, I always go to the teachers' office and

Nowadays, our environment is facing many problems.

……

When things around the house stop working, what do you usually do with them? If you're like a lot of people, you probably just throw them away.

In some areas, it's difficult to find people who can make repairs, and fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small objects are so inexpensive that it's often easier to just buy a new one.

In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafés: places where people can take broken items. There they will find tools, resources and volunteer experts who are ready to help with repairs.

Postma's first Repair Café opened on Oct. 18th, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the café spread, and people began asking how they could start their own. In 2011, Postma set up the Repair Café Foundation. This non-profit organization provides guidance for those hoping to begin their own neighbourhood repair group.

Today, there are about 2,000 Repair Cafés around the world with meetings usually taking place once a month. Around 25 objects are repaired during each meeting. Everything is free, but donations are greatly welcome.

The cafés not only provide help with repairs, they also strengthen community ties. Neighbours get to know one another as they work together on projects. Moreover, valuable knowledge is passed along and preserved. Items are kept rather than thrown away, so there is less meaningless rubbish in landfills.

Is it really difficult to get your hair cut according to your own ideas? Recently, a hairdresser(理发师)，Xiaohua has become famous online simply because she tries to understand  customers want.

Since videos of her cutting hair became popular on Douyin, many tourists have come to her live stream room(直播间) to learn from her. Some crazy fans even came to visit her shop in Huaihua (get)a haircut.

Xiaohua, whose real name is Li Jing, first (start) to put videos on Douyin in February2024. At first, they didn't draw much attention. But two months later, one of her videos(sudden) got lots of views. Many people praised her   understanding customers' needs. Many invited her to open  store in their hometowns or to give lessons to hairdressers across the country.

Faced with great (popular), Xiaohua always says she doesn't consider (her)as a master. She thinks there are many hairdressers who have  (good) skills than her. "As long as a person cuts enough hair and makes enough mistakes, he or she can be skillful," she said. "Both of them are necessary experiences."

Every day, her WeChat (fill) with messages from customers asking for a haircut, and she wants to tell them to be patient and wait until the online fame cools down.

Recently, in Liaoning, a man called Mr. Sun used AI face-swapping(换脸) technology to make a video of his late(已故的)1 . In the video, it looked like his father was 2 . Mr. Sun did this to make his 91-year-old grandmother feel 3 .

Mr. Sun's father 4 last year because of a serious illness. But the family didn't tell the grandmother about her son's death 5 they were worried about her health. They just told her that her son was in hospital in Beijing.

Seeing how much his grandmother missed his father, Mr. Sun wanted to do something to 6 her.With the help of AI, he made his 7 look like his father's. In the video, Mr. Sun said,"Mom, this isJihai. I'm 8 in Beijing." Even though the video wasn't perfect, his grandmother 9 it was her son speaking and felt happy.

Mr. Sun felt a 10 of feelings while making the video. He was sad and missed his father, but he was also happy to bring some comfort to his grandmother.

A bird went to look for happiness. On her way, she saw a flower. The flower was short of water, but her face was full of 1 .

The bird asked the little flower," You' re going to die, but why are you still so happy?"

"To 2 sweet fruits."

Then the bird got to know happiness was having 3 in the heart.

The little bird kept flying, and then she saw a disabled duck. The duck was singing a song happily. She asked the duck, "Life is so 4 to you. Why don't you feel sad?"

"Because just now I saw a little duck fall down, and I helped him 5 again," said the duck.

The bird no longer looked for happiness, because she finally knew that the true happiness was in her own heart.

When I was 7 and Stevie was 6, our parents taught us how to play chess and other games. Playing games was our life back then. Stevie and I were very competitive in everything.

We got older and better so our games were more intense, but also more exciting. The strange thing is that I enjoyed the games very much and was happy for my brother when he won. But then, I did not feel right and became less confident than before.

When I was 10 years old, I wanted to be successful at my talents. One day, I thought I had to find was welcomed. Then也 did a lot of shows of practice my new skill.

Learning ventriloquism(腹语,口技) wasn't easy. The difficult part was developing the voice, because at first, it was soft and hard to hear. I memorized the routines and performed more. With time, I got better responses. The loud laughter continued along with the applause.

Four years later, my mother bought a professional ventriloquial figure, which I named Freddie O'Sullivan. He was very human-like, with big eyes. Treating Freddie like a real person helped improve my performance. In college, Freddie was well-known. Over the years, I won many talent prizes.

One time, an old man who had watched my show with his family looked at Freddie carefully and asked him where he got his trousers.   ★   I didn't know what was going on until I was told later that the gentleman hadn't spoken for 20 years.

Thanks to my brother, I created a lifetime with Freddie.

Seven years ago, ecologists looking to restore(恢复) the Doty Ravine in Lincoln, California, had to choose between spending over $1 million bringing in heavy equipment or trying a more natural way. They went for the second choice, and turned to nature's original flood manager to do the work—— the bear(河狸).

The creek bed(河床), which was changed by many years of agricultural(农业) use, had looked like a wildfire risk. But it came back to life far faster than expected after the beavers went to work. "It was crazy,it was great," said Lynmette Batt, the conservation director of the Placer Land Trust, which owns and keeps the Doty Ravine Preserve. "It went from dry grassland to totally green one, trees turning up, wetland plants of all types, different stream (溪) channels across about 60 acres of floodplain (泛滥平原)."

Damion Ciotti, a biologist for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service who led the project, said he predicted the Doty Ravine project would take ten years to reconnect the stream to the floodplain, but to his surprise, it was restored in just three years. "One important thing that we have to remember is that beavers have been here for a very long time," said Placer Land Trust land manager Elias Grant: "They understand water flow paths."

As a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with math wisdom. You may have played many of them before. Let's take a look at three Chinese classical intelligence games—— Tangram, Nine Linked Rings(九连环) and Huarong Road.

  ①   First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Tangram is a game made up of seven pieces of different shapes, including five triangles, a square and a parallelogram. Players need to use these seven pieces to create new shapes. To do it, they must know about plane geometry(平面几何). In the 18th century, the game spread to the West and soon became popular there.

  ②   The Nine Linked Rings puzzle has a history of over 2,000 years. It is made up of nine rings connected to a handle(手柄). Players need to move all the rings from the handle to win the game. This is not a simple game. For example, if you want to move the ninth ring, you have to move the third, fifth and seventh ones first, or you will not be able to do it.

    ③ The Huarong Road puzzle is a block-moving game. It first appeared in the early 20th century. Each block is named after a character in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. To win the game, players need to move the blocks to get Cao Cao out. It aims to test the players' math knowledge.
