Many people like the idea of having a bird as a pet. Birds are colorful, they can sing, and they look very cute. But before you buy one, think carefully! Birds are different from other pets. They have special needs.

First, birds need friends. Unlike dogs or cats, birds can't be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn't feel fun.

At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them.

Finally, birds can live for many years. Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more. This means keeping a bird takes you many years. You need to make sure you can take care of it for a long time, not just for a few months.

While birds can be great pets, they need more care than many people think. Before buying a bird, ask yourself if you have enough time and energy to care for it. Remember, a pet is a friend for life, so think twice before you buy one!

However, climate change and human activities make it "sick". Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too "tired" to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into hot, dry grassland in a few years. Why is the Amazon "sick"?

The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world's wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don't have enough water to grow. What's worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire.

Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear.

The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO₂ out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet's oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest "dies", there will be more CO₂, and our earth will become even hotter.

The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can't live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear.

It is necessary to save the Amazon Rainforest. And it's not just because it's beautiful. It also plays a key role in keeping the earth healthy and helping our planet. So, saving the Amazon Rainforest means saving people too.

In summer, gardening is popular. And families often have a "day out" on the weekend. They often go outside to see a festival show. Young people like to go to clubs, and people of all ages like to go to the cinema. In winter, "do-it-yourself" is popular. People often spend their free time repairing (修理) houses.

Some free time activities are with friends. Asking friends for a drink or a meal at home is the most usual one. Sometimes people and their friends have dinner in a restaurant. During the meal, they can know more about each other by talking and sharing food and drinks.

On the weekend, people in the UK like to spend their free time doing sports. The popular sports are soccer, horse racing, swimming, tennis, skating, climbing and walking.

Day after day, the rose never stopped being unkind to the cactus. The cactus, however, never got sad or angry. Instead, he always calmly said, "All lives have meaning."

As summer came, it was hot and dry. The rose began to weaken, but the cactus grew well. He had a wide root system and was good at storing water in his body.

One day, the rose saw a bird make a small hole in the cactus with its beak (喙). The thirsty bird drank the water inside the cactus through the hole.

"It must hurt," said the rose.

"Yes," the apple tree said, "but the cactus doesn't want to see his bird friend in trouble."

The rose was so thirsty that she asked the cactus for water. He kindly agreed. The bird filled its beak with water and watered the rose's roots.

The rose was quite sorry for what she had said to the cactus in the past. From then on, she understood that a kind heart is far more important than a good look.

Li Jun is a Peking Opera performer from the Shanghai Jingju Theater Company. The 59-year-old took up his smart phone and started livestreaming. Unlike performing on a real stage, Li uses common places as his stage, including his office and study room. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers (观众) something about Peking Opera. People can ask him questions and get answers directly.

"Livestreaming has brought this traditional art down to earth." One viewer said, "It gives young people an easier way to learn more about the traditional art." Li has more than 6,000 fans on Douyin, while one of his videos got 42,000 views on Bilibili.

On March 26th, 2020, Bilibili livestreamed a huafu show on the third China Huafu Day. Performers showed clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers not only enjoyed looking at the clothes, but also watched how performers used ancient (古代的) styles of make-up (化妆).

As Guangming Daily said, livestreaming has come to a new stage through which traditional culture can be kept alive.

I asked Mrs. Peterson for advice. She said, "Plan how you will finish each part of the homework and write your plan down. Turn the homework into smaller pieces, and do not wait until the last minute to start!"

When I went home from school, "Why do teachers give us so difficult homework?" I cried. "This homework should be finished in a month, and I will never finish it on time."

"Audra, this is not so bad," Gus, my brother, began. When I started to refuse him, he put up his hand to stop me. "I am not trying to talk with you, because it is a big project and you will have to work hard, but you can turn the project into smaller ones with shorter dates."

Gus opened his notebook and drew a two-column (两栏) chart. In the left column, he wrote requirement (要求). In the right column, he wrote a date that was a few days before the final date for the project.

Looking at this schedule (时间表), I felt relaxed. I began to think that the project might be possible. I found that everything would be finished on time. It was really helpful to make a study plan.
