We’ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells (壳) —sleeping.
Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.
In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (触角), are very weak. But its sense (感觉) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.
A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin (大头针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones. A snail _________.
A.moves more slowly at night | B.has thousands of feet |
C.doesn’t move at all | D.sleeps much of the time |
In the sentence “A snail draws its body into its shell”, the word “draw” means _____.

Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win﹣win(双赢) situation.
Plogging, a new way to exercise, began in Sweden. The name "plogging" comes from two words the Swedish word "plocka",which means "to pick up", and the word "jogging",which means "to run slowly". A Swedish man called Eric started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.
Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatterall around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work.Another reason is that plogging burns 48 calories(卡路里). According to a reseach, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

If you look at the top of your phone, you' ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G The "G" stands for the " generation"(代) of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai vice﹣mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone.Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data(数据) faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things well.
For example, 5G will help to make self﹣driving cars safer. Today's self﹣driving test cars have one problem﹣﹣lag(延迟).

With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time.With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.
5G could also be used to power the internet of things(IoT), that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically (自动地 ) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

One day, I walked into a stranger as he walked by me. "Oh, excuse me." I said. He replied with a smile and said, " Please excuse me, too. I wasn't watching out for you." We apologized(道歉)and went our own ways.
Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. " Move out of the way." I shouted. She walked away sadly. But I didn't feel like I had to apologize to her.
While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, "Dealing with a stranger, you were polite, but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?"
I quietly went and knelt down by my daughter's bed " Honey, I am so sorry. " I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She said, "I found them by the tree. I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue ones."I tearfully replied, "Sweetie, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today.
