Lisbon (里斯本) is one of the oldest capitals in Europe. It is on the western coast of Portugal (葡萄牙). Its rich history, colorful traditions and more modern attractions make it a fascinating city.

Anyone lucky enough to visit Lisbon will find a lot of things to see and do. You can start your tour from the Castle of Sao Jorge. The castle was built on a hill many years ago. When you stand on the top of the castle, you can enjoy a good view of the city. Then you can go to Alfama, which is the oldest part of Lisbon. Visitors can walk along its narrow streets where they can see fish sellers who are carrying baskets on their heads. The baskets are very heavy, but they can carry them easily.

Next, you can go to Baixa, a busy shopping area of the city. It offers lots of handmade souvenirs and some wonderful clothes.

Lisbon's nightlife is relaxing and different. Visitors can have a coffee in Bairro Alto, the ancient port of the city. You can enjoy traditional Portuguese music there. The music fills the air with its sad and romantic sounds. You can also enjoy delicious seafood at first-class restaurants. At last, for those who like to dance, there are many clubs everywhere.

Lisbon is a wonderful city. If you want to experience the beauty and fascination of a great European city, it will be the perfect place for you.

Boys and girls,

Today, I'm very excited to speak at here   

and I'd like to talk with my grandma.   

A little months ago, my grandma started to do square dancing   

after supper. Since then, she have been in love with it.   

Now she is more healthier. However, some neighbors have a complaint (抱怨)

against the people who do square dancing. They think if     

the music is such loud that they can't fall asleep at night.   

In my opinion, people can't do square dancing because it is   

a good way of keep healthy, but they should think about the feelings   

of another people and they shouldn't make a lot of noise.   

That's all. Thank you!

Public holidays are important for many. People are usually about these holidays because they don't need to work or go to school on the holidays. People in different countries celebrate these holidays in different ways.

They may travel, visit friends, stay with family or watch the military parade on TV. You can also see of red flags with 5 stars and they are China's national flags.

In the United States, there are also many public holidays. Christmas Day is on December 25th. It is one of the most popular in the United States. Actually, Christmas Day on the night of December 24th and call it Christmas Eve.

Ants can't talk, but this doesn't stop them. Ants communicate buy leaving chemicals from their bodies for other ants to smell. For example, if an ant finds a piece of food, it will send out chemicals that say "there is food here". The other ants will follow their noses toward the food until it is all gone. On the other hand, if there is something dangerous around, ants will send chemicals that say "Stay away".

The ant colony is made up of three classes, the queen, the workers and the male ants. Life in a colony is very organized. Each member has a job to do. The queen has one role, to lay eggs. She does not rule over the other ants, but has the most important job, the whole colony would even die if there was no queen. Queen ants can live up to fifteen years!

The worker ants may have one or several jobs. Some of these jobs are to gather food for the colony, protect the nest from predators (掠夺者) and look after the queen and young ants.

These insects are amazing and we should protect them.

Bird strikes usually happen when a plane is taking off or landing. In 2022, there were 16,960 animal strikes in the US and most of them were bird strikes.

Although most bird strikes do not damage (破坏) planes, some can be very serious. In 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 hit a group of birds after taking off. Both of its engines (引擎) stopped working, and the plane had to land on the Hudson River in New York City. Big birds can cause a lot of damage, but even small birds can break windows. Sadly, bird strikes almost always end up killing the birds.

To stop bird strikes, airports use many ways. For example, some use loud sounds to drive birds away, and others remove birds' food source (来源) and homes by covering grassy areas. However, birds can get used to loud sounds, and covering green land is bad for the environment.

Now, airports are trying new ideas. At Salt Lake City Airport, people let pigs eat the eggs of nearby birds. At Southwest Florida Airport, people use dogs to drive birds away. Some airports even use special ways to find birds. With these new ideas, people hope to keep birds away from planes and make flying safer in the future.

Jiang's love for animals started early when he was a child. He often helped save animals when they were in danger. The first animal he helped save was a turtle (水龟). "One day, my father brought home a turtle and wanted me to keep it as a pet. But I said no and asked my father to put it back into the river," Jiang said.

On his first day at the forest zoo, Jiang cleaned the birdhouses. He tried to do it with care because he didn't want to scare the birds. Later, he went to work at the animal rescue (救援) centre at the zoo. One of the rescued animals under Jiang's care is the African spurred tortoise (非洲盾臂龟).

Caring for them can be very difficult because of their large size, and also because they need to live in a warm place specially made for them.

"The job of a zookeeper is different from what I first thought it would be. I need to always put the health of the animals first," Jiang said. "Although it is sometimes hard work, I enjoy being with the animals."

Each country has its unique (独特的) dos: When in a foreign country, if we don't want to get into trouble, we should obey the rules. When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Now let's learn about some manners in four different countries.

Some people have a very poor sense of (direct). Unluckily I am one of them. I have visited a place many (time) but I may still get lost there.

When I was a little girl, I was afraid to ask (strange) the way. Now, I am no longer shy about (ask) people for directions, but I often receive (help) or even wrong information. So I try not to give people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way, I always say, "Sorry, I am a stranger here."

Once my way to work, a man stopped me. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I (give) him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him (wait).

When I just got to my office, the secretary (秘书) showed the man who asked me for directions in. Imagine embarrassed I was and how (surprise) he was when we saw each other!

Many people think that English writing is difficult. Here are some great writing tips. They will help you improve your writing in a short time.

Don't ramble (长篇大论). This is a very common mistake made by people who have poor writing skills. When they ramble, they are not paying attention to grammar. As a result, their sentences become very long. If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.

Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is right before moving on. It's better to write a short passage that is easy to read and mistake-free than to write a long article with grammar mistakes.

Increase your vocabulary. If you don't have a large vocabulary, you will find it difficult to write as you can't find the right words to express (表达) yourself clearly. The solution (解决办法) to this problem is to increase your vocabulary. You can do this by reading newspapers, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.

Don't write when you are tired. Tiredness can lead to having nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at the paper with nothing to write, don't just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest. You'll find that you enjoy your writing a lot more and make fewer mistakes!

A. When your mind is relaxed, you should go back to your writing.

B. Make sure your sentences are right.

C. You can pick up new words almost anywhere.

D. The longer the sentences are, the more mistakes they'll make.

E. As a result, they may give up after trying hard for a while.

F. Looking up new words in a dictionary is a good way.

A: Pardon me, I think I got lost.     

B: Of course. But it is kind of far away from here. It's more convenient.

A: That's OK.        

B: Go along this street and turn right at the first crossing. You'll see it next to the supermarket.

A:

B: About ten minutes. You can get off after four stops.

A: I see. Thank you so much.

B: It's all right.
 

A. It's about a three-minute walk.

B. How long does it take me to get to the square?

C. I suggest taking the subway there.

D. Where is the nearest subway station?

E. Could you tell me where Tianfu Square is?

Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering and Technology magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system. It can recognize (辨认) 95% of people when they wear masks.

What's the secret? It's all about your eyes. Marios Savvides from Camegie Mellon University studies facial-recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn't. It stays the same—even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us.

Tech5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company's products scan (扫描) the shape of your face. They also scan your iris (虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech5 hopes to ignore (忽略) all of the face below the nose.

This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. "It can discover criminals, even when they wear masks," said Huang Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang's technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force.

Huang pointed out one big weakness: it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. "In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost," Huang said to E&T.
