I’ve never been the kind of person to say,“It’s the thought counts”(贵在心意)when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago when my kids gave me a present that blew me away.
For years now. I’ve been wanting to sell our home,the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me,this house is much more than just building.
In the front room,there is a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines,marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey,with each child’s name and the date on which they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories,It’s this one thing that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights that has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears,but erasing that evidence(证据)of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways,but the wall is a piece of physical evidence of their progress,right there for everyone to see.
Over the years,I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved,even thought the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing.
So one day,my children decided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning,a professional photographer whose work is about capturing(拍摄)the beautiful things in life,from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ball gowns. She came to our house while I was at work,and over several hours,took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines,little grey fingerprints and old marks. Somehow,she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards,she put all the photos together into one image(影像),turning them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later,my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size-photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents(代表)love and growth.

Eating less meat is becoming more common all over the world. In the US, for example, there is a campaign(运动)called Meatless Mondays. The idea is to have meatless meals every Monday. At the end of 2018, 230 middle and primary schools in the US had joined this campaign. These schools give students a vegetarian breakfast and lunch every Monday.
How did Meatless Mondays become part of food culture in the West? The first reason is that it's healthy. Many studies have shown that eating less meat is good for people's health. “Vegetarian diets can stop people from being fat or ill,” scientist Sharon Palmer said. "Even going meatless one day a week can make a difference.”
But it's not only about health. A study from Nature found that the greenhouse gases from animal products(产品)make up 78 percent of total agricultural(农业的)emissions(排放). If we eat less meat, it will be better for the environment.
In March this year, New York Mayor(市长)Bill said that all public schools in New York City would join the Meatless Mondays campaign. Joining the campaign, he said, will help us stay healthy and keep the earth green for the future.
1.When can't many students eat meat in the US?
_____________________________________________________________________
2.Why do people in the West have Meatless Mondays?
_____________________________________________________________________
3.How can vegetarian diets help people?
_____________________________________________________________________
4.Did Bill agree to join the campaign?
_____________________________________________________________________
5.What makes up the most agricultural emission?

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words
What is life? It is like a game in which you are playing with f1. balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of g2.. If you drop one of these, they will break. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is s3..
Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. N4. is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to r5. love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run t6. life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It’s a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is h7., tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift: that’s why we call it “the p8.”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
