"I feel my heart beating, my eyes widen and almost automatically (自动地), I start to smile," Prayitno Goenarto said. This is how he feels when he sees a new kind of bird.
Goenarto is a birdwatcher and wildlife photographer from Indonesia. He is now 31 years old. When he became sick in college, his doctor asked him to go out more often for sunlight, exercise and fresh air.
A birdwatcher needs to know a lot and be brave and strong. Goenarto spends most of his time working in the wild. He knows where and when to find different kinds of birds. Sometimes he has to go deep into the forest to find the shy birds. He might get lost. He has to look out for snakes and some big animals. Once, Goenarto went to an island to look for some rare (罕见的) birds. He worked in wet clothes for the whole trip.

Liqiu means "Start of Autumn" in Chinese. It is the 13th of China's 24 solar terms. This day usually comes on August 7 or 8. In 2025, it starts on August 7. Though autumn begins, hot weather often stays. People call this the "Autumn Tiger" (秋老虎).
Changes in Nature

Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade routes. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration.
In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn't reach before. China's Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list.
Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench's deepest point. Even more shocking? Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth's surface, 95% of it is unexplored.
Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown? Part of the reason is that it's difficult to explore. Sure, it's hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task.
That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趋势). The deep ocean also holds huge amounts of oil, gas, metals and so on.
(1)、Why didn't scientists reach the deep sea in the past?A、They didn't think it was worth the risk. B、They didn't have high-level technology. C、They thought there was no need to do it. D、They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters.(2)、What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A、Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists. B、Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade. C、China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology. D、China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters.(3)、Why does the writer mention space in the passage?A、To prove the interest of ocean exploration. B、To show the necessity of space exploration. C、To show the difficulty of ocean exploration. D、To prove the importance of space exploration.(4)、What does the underlined word "task" refer to?A、Inventing a new light. B、Seeing the things in space. C、Getting a spaceship into space. D、Sending a bright enough light down.(5)、What can we learn from the passage?A、Deep ocean exploration is important and necessary. B、The ocean influences the long-term climate trends most. C、We have explored most of the resources in the deep waters. D、The ocean coverage is large and we have explored most of it. -

The Magic of the Coral Reef
Coral reefs are one of the most amazing natural wonders on Earth. They are often called "the rainforests of the sea" because they are home to thousands of species of fish, plants and other creatures. Coral reefs cover less than 0.1% of the ocean floor, but they support more than 25% of all marine species.
Coral reefs are not just rocks. They are made up of tiny living creatures called coral polyps. These polyps live in groups and secrete a hard substance that forms the structure of the reef. Coral reefs grow very slowly—only about 1 to 2 centimeters per year. Some coral reefs have been around for millions of years.
However, coral reefs are in great danger now. Climate change is causing the ocean temperature to rise, which makes the coral turn white and die. Pollution from factories and farms is also harming the reefs. Plastic waste in the ocean can get stuck on the reefs and kill the polyps. In addition, overfishing is destroying the balance of the marine ecosystem.
But there is hope. Many organizations and individuals are working hard to protect coral reefs. Scientists are researching ways to help coral reefs adapt to climate change. Volunteers are cleaning up plastic waste from the ocean. Governments are making laws to stop overfishing and pollution.
We can also do our part to protect coral reefs. For example, we can reduce our carbon footprint by saving energy and using public transport. We can also avoid buying products that harm coral reefs, such as certain sunscreens. Every small action can help save these beautiful natural wonders.
(1)、Why are coral reefs called "the rainforests of the sea"?A、They are as big as rainforests. B、They grow in the same area as rainforests. C、They support a large number of species. D、They are made up of tiny plants.(2)、What does the underlined word "secrete" mean in Chinese?A、吸收 B、分泌 C、消耗 D、储存(3)、Which of the following is NOT a threat to coral reefs?A、Rising ocean temperatures. B、Plastic pollution. C、Overfishing. D、Marine protected areas.(4)、What can we infer from the passage?A、Coral reefs grow very quickly. B、Only scientists can protect coral reefs. C、If we take action, coral reefs can be saved. D、Coral reefs are not important for the marine ecosystem.(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Coral reefs are home to many marine species. B、Coral reefs are in danger and need protection. C、How coral reefs are formed. D、Why coral reefs are important. -

The Magic of Clay
When we talk about art, we often think of drawings on paper. However, making things with your hands is also a wonderful art form. Pottery is one of the oldest arts in history. It involves making pots, dishes, and other objects out of clay.
To be a good (sculpt), you need strong hands and a clear mind. Working with clay is different from drawing. It (require) not just skill but (strong). First, you place a piece of wet clay in the correct position on a wheel. As the wheel turns, you use your fingers to shape the mud into a bowl or a vase. Sometimes, special (instrument) are used to add fine details to the surface.

I hope one day I can make something as (love) as his works.
