If you’re lost in the wild, don’t worry! Here are some easy ways to help you.
First, find a straight, long stick. Stick it into the ground. Then put a rock to mark the tip of the stick’s shadow. Wait about 15-20 the tip of minutes. Take another rock and mark the new location of the tip of shadow. Draw a straight line between the rocks. Since the sun is moving west across the sky, the shadow’s new location will be further east. So mark a “W” on the first location and an “E” on the new one. Put your left foot on W and your right one on the E, your front will be facing north.
Sometimes plants can also give you a simple idea of directions. To us, the sun is usually in the southern part of the sky. That means that leaves will be denser（茂密的）on the southern side of a tree. And the tops of trees almost always lean to the south. If you happen to see a stump, check its ring pattern. The tree rings will be thicker on the northern side but thinner on the southern side.
The North Star can show you the true north in the Northern Hemisphere（北半球）. This is one of the quickest ways to look for directions at night. First you need to find the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper looks like a large spoon and is made up of seven stars.
The outer edge of the spoon is made up of 2 stars. Draw a line outward from them. This line should extend（延伸）through the top of the spoon until you reach a star of similar brightness（about 5 times the distance of these two stars）. The North Star sits at the end of it. When you’re facing the North Star, you're facing true north.

“Don’t judge（判断）a book by its cover,” the popular saying goes. “Fine feathers do not make fine birds,” is another. What do they have in common They remind us that something’s appearance should not be the most important thing when determining its value. We should value ourselves for who we are—accept our shortcomings. But it’s easier said than done. Many people still feel unconfident about themselves and their appearance because it may not be good enough to achieve the standard of perfection. So what can a person do to improve their own body positivity
First, when someone says something nice, don’t push it away or play it down. Say “thank you” to them and praise them too.
Don’t compare your body with others’, particularly famous ones. We are surrounded（包围）by these perfect images of what it is to be beautiful. That comparing only creates a standard we think we need to follow and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren’t up to the standard.
Attend the gym and realize how strong and capable your body is, even though it may be fat. Your body can do lots of things—walking, yoga, playing sports and so on. You can be an unbelievable human regardless of your shape and size.
The only person who can really influence your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be completed overnight, but don’t give up. Remember that everyone is unconfident sometimes. Be certain about who you are and what you want as a person. Love what you look like.
Topic: Improving your body positivity

An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you’re not sure what to do. Should you take a gift What should you dress When should you arrive Glad you asked. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home.
The question of whether or not to bring a gift often troubles guests. In American culture, a guest is not obligated (强迫) to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring some small gifts to their hosts. Proper gifts generally might be flowers, candy or—if the family has small children—toys. If you choose not to bring a gift, don’t worry. No one will even notice that.
For most informal (非正式的) dinners, you should wear everyday clothes. Plan to arrive on time, or call to tell your hosts about the delay (延迟). During the dinner conversation, it’s customary to compliment (称赞) the hosts about the wonderful meal. Of course, the biggest compliment is to eat lots of food! When you’ve had plenty, you might offer to clear the table or wash the dishes. But since you’re the guest, your hosts may not let you do that. Instead, they may invite you to move to the living room for dessert with tea or coffee. After an hour or so of general talking, it’s probably time to head for the door.
Americans usually like to have advance notice (提前通知) when people come to see them. Only very close friends drop by without any notice. This is especially true if the guests want to stay for a few days. Even relatives don’t usually stay for several weeks at a time. Here’s some good advice for house guests: Short stays are the best. While you’re staying with an American family, try to keep your living area clean and tidy. Your host family will be thankful for your consideration. And they may even invite you back!

Farming was considered the most important part in countryside in the past. But nowadays farms have come to cities, and they can even be found in our homes. This is called urban(城市的) farming.
According to a recent report, the sales of vegetable seeds (种子) in the first season on Tmall pared with the same time last year. Many people today are not satisfied with the mass-produced(大批生产的) food which travels miles away before it ends up in the supermarket and is expensive. Also, since the outbreak (爆发) of COVID-19 makes shopping outside difficult and unsafe, more and more people have developed the habit of growing some fruit and vegetables at home to ensure they can have enough food during that time.
Zhang Chao, 17, from Anhui province, is one of the young city farmers. He said he started his love for farming when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside. “My grandpa spent his whole life as a farmer, and he liked to plant vegetables in our garden,”Zhang said. “I learned to grow vegetables from him.” He said he had a sense (感觉) of achievement when he saw seeds turn into plants. “It brings back good memories of me and my grandpa working together in our garden”.
Fang Ming from Shanghai started her garden during one of the lock-downs (封城) at the beginning of 2022. She likes to walk around her small garden after long hours of schoolwork every day. “Seeing the different colors and breathing fresh air, I feel joyful, ” Fang said, “The vegetables may not be the main food on our table, but they surely add a touch of flavor(风味) to our dishes and our busy days.”

Some people understand loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, looking out of a window. However researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and their understand loneliness differently. Their loneliness mainly come from the relationship with people around them.
For young people, loneliness is “as a bad feeling about a difference between the relationships they have and those they want.” It appears in three ways. Firstly, they might feel lonely when being with people who don’t really understand them or share common interests with them. Another reason is their developing sense of self-discovering who they are. The challenge is that their friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same direction as them. So they feel lonely. The last one is that young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home—such as arguments with family members, they get the feeling of loneliness again and even worse.
Here are some ways to beat loneliness. 1. Join a class or club Whether it’s an art class, exercise class, or a book club, joining a class or club brings you to a group of people who share at least one of your interests. 2. Keep in contact online If your friends or family live far away or you can’t go out to meet them, programmes such as WeChat can help you to keep in touch. 3. Volunteer in your free time It can offer us a great chance to get out of the house, meet new people and feel happy.
If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships, as a result, we can build better ones.

In old myths (神话) or new ones, whether from Asia, Africa, the Americas or Europe, the world’s hero stories all have the same basic shape. The details of the stories may change, but every hero story has the same three parts.
In the first part of any hero story, the hero starts a journey. Often the hero does not, at first, want to go on this journey. But in the end, he finally agrees to do so. He leaves the safety of his home, friends and family to go to this new place. This place is very different from the hero’s home and is often dangerous. Sometimes there is someone who helps the hero to understand this new place. The person gives the hero the information he needs to succeed.
The second part of the hero story is the most exciting. This is when the hero must pass some kind of test or overcome a challenge. A common example of such a test is when the hero has to fight a monster (怪兽) with much bigger size and greater strength. The hero does not, at first, believe that he will be able to kill the monster. Other common challenges include solving a problem or having to face one’s fears. In any challenge, the hero must use his strength, intelligence and bravery to pass the test. He must kill the dragon, answer the question or trust in one’s abilities. Of course, in the end, the hero always succeeds.
Finally, in the last part of the hero story, the hero returns home. He is a better person now—one who has the lessons he has learned from what he has experienced along his journey-wealth and knowledge-to share with family and friends.
Features: 1 the myths are created and wherever they are from, they all share the same basic shape.

With a history of more than 1,000 years, tie-dye（扎染）is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China, most popular in Yunnan. During the Tang and Song dynasties, people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperors as gifts. In 2006, the tie-dye technique was added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）list. Anning in Yunnan is known for tie-dye.
Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor（传承人）of tie-dye in Anning. He learned the skills from his mother in the 1980s. And he has passed it down to his daughter.
“Tie-dye is worthy of the efforts of generations（代）of people,” Yang said. Yang has mastered all the old skills of tie-dye. To tie-dye, you first need to use threads（线）to tie your cloth together. Then you put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a brighter color. When you unfold the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns.
At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also tries to make some creative designs. Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools, communities and companies. More than 100,000 people have learned from him.
Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing. But Yang is confident. “At the end of the day, machines can’t replace our creative hands.” Yang said.

It is hard for many people to accept changes. However, life is always changing. We might lose our jobs, our loved ones, or have other life-changing things. We might not like or accept the changes, but we can deal with them in an active way. Luckily, there are many ways to face changes, to deal with them and finally accept them.
It is wise to release(宣泄) the feeling brought by a change that upsets you. For example, losing your job makes you sad. You can tell others your feelings in a polite way. Also you can ask yourself, “Why am I upset or worried about this change ” “What will happen as a result of this change ” Asking yourself these questions can help you think if the change is really worth(值得) worrying about. Besides, though the change can have a bad influence on your life, in most situations you can turn it into a chance to discover your hope for life again.
Of course, you need to do something so that you can completely accept changes. When the change influences you, you can keep working, trying something you’ve never done before, or staying with others. In this way, you will make yourself forget worries. It’ll help change your life actively for the future. Finding a way to move on and thinking about your future is another important part of accepting changes. You can get a new job or have a long trip. By looking to the future, you’ll be able to better deal with the past and accept it as something that had to happen for you to move forward. Besides, make a decision to try to use your power(力量) to make an even better world. In this way, you’re accepting the change but also turning it upside down.
Problem Life is always changing, but many people ___46___ accepting the changes.
___47___ Face a change wisely ◆Release your feelings to make you feel better. ◆Review it to know if you need to ___48___ worrying about them. ◆Regard it as a chance to discover your hope for life.

Brand Names
OK, so imagine you’ve thought of a product to make and sell— a game, or an app, or some clothes for example. You know you can sell millions of them, but first of all, you must give the product a name a brand name. And that may not be as easy as you think.
The brand name is the thing that makes your product stand out from all the others. Businesses spend a lot of time thinking about brand names; when the name has been picked, it’s very difficult to change, so companies have to get it right first time.
So how do you choose a name A brand name should be special, memorable and easy to understand. It should create some kind of emotional connection with people who buy the product— the target (目标) market. Some companies use the family name. When Henry Ford started making cars, he just called the company Ford. Some companies use wordplay. It’s a common technique for naming apps, for example WhatsApp (from the English expression What’s up ). But what do you have to be careful about Well, you shouldn’t choose a name that may not work in certain countries or cultures. Many years ago, a car company produced a new car that they called Nova. They thought it suggested something nice and new, but in Spanish it can be read as no va (“it doesn’t go”). Not a good name for a car in Spain!
These days, the choice of brand name is quite important if your product is aimed at teenage market. A teacher in an American high school said: ‘Teenagers won’t buy something that’s almost the same or cheaper— simply because they feel they must wear something with the right logo.’
Companies know that the name isn’t everything— the product itself has to be good, of course— it is the most important part of the whole package.

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.
Why does washing hands with soap not happen as often as we might think This is partly because there aren’t enough resources (资源) in poorer countries, but it’s also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It’s not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood — but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.
Sidibe, a health expert says soap is “the most beautiful invention in health”. Washing your hands with soap can make a big difference to reduce (减少) the spread of diseases (疾病). Handwashing with soap keeps children and adults healthy.
In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote (促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in some African countries.
Today, different areas and countries continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people’s lives and improves the health of millions around the world.

Many Chinese liked to travel abroad or across cities on vacation, but now camping has become more and more popular with them because of COVID-19.
A report by online travel website Tongcheng Travel showed that during the recent National Day holiday, camping-related searches rose a lot compared with that in September. Forests and islands were two most popular key words.
Li Nan, 31, from Zhejiang, went camping with her friends in the mountains during the holiday. “We liked to visit museums or travel to other cities. But now we just go camping and we find it’s relaxing,” Li told China Daily. She said camping is a good way to get closer to nature and enjoy sports and activities outside.
This growing popularity has also made the sale of camping-related tools greater, such as tents, tables and chairs, and sleeping bags. Trip, an online travel agency, said the number of visit for their camping tools on Oct. 1st rose by 90 percent compared with the week before.
However, the need for camping space is greater than that for the tools. “Everywhere is full of people and there is a tent every several meters,” a tourist from Beijing told Global times.
Besides, camping isn’t always good for the local environment. In a camping place in Beijing’s Mountain Shuangfeng, some of the land has become barren (荒芜的) because of too many visitors walking on it. Trash, like bamboo chopsticks and disposable plates (一次性餐盘), could be seen everywhere, reported Xinhua.
The government needs to provide more green space for tourists and call on people to protect the environment while camping, said some environmental researchers.

Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, agreement, thanks and forgiveness（宽恕）. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug in different situations can make a world of difference in our young learner’s lives.
On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome “The First Day Fears”. By the way, giving hugs for the first full week wouldn’t hurt either. Hugs are both inexpensive and very healthy.
It’s the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.
Usually, bedtime is the scariest time of the day for most kids, who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight（紧紧的）hug coupled with reading their favorite stories or singing their favorite songs may help them have a good sleep.
Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on . “A caring and inspiring environment is always helpful in developing a child’s language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you.”
Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there’s one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug.
A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So, remember to hug your children often and put emotion behind it and really mean it!
The Positive Effect of Hugs
Introduction Hugging expresses positive messages, and it can ___66___ to children’s lives.
___67___ ◆Helping children ___68___. ■Giving a hug and whispering to calm the kids down.

When it comes to taking notes, what do you think is the best way: using a pen or typing on a computer keyboard
As digital devices (数码设备) have played a main role in society, “keyboard activity is now often used for early handwriting,” a new study shows. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children. Some schools in Norway have become completely digital, says Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader. However, she believes that young children should learn to manage a keyboard, and at the same time learn to write by hand successfully. She notes that although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen activates (激活) more areas of our brain than a keyboard does. This is because writing needs complicated (复杂) movements that activate more areas of the brain. So that we can improve learning — and probably remember more — by handwriting our class notes.
When we write, our brain needs to think about and bring back memories of the shape of each letter. We also need to use our eyes to watch closely what we’re writing. And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to write the different letters. All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain. Along the way, these processes appear to open the brain up for learning. She points out that taking notes by hand activates “visual (视觉) note-taking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note taker has to think about what is important to write down.
On the other hand, this study doesn’t ask people to avoid digital devices. In fact, it points out that computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in many modern classrooms. Keyboarding also can be especially helpful for students with certain special needs, such as if they can’t use their hands smoothly.
But nearly all students will be improved by learning handwriting and drawing at an early age, the researchers now conclude.

The peanuts grown flowers above ground, but its “fruit” grow underground. It grows in more countries than most other “nuts”.
The peanut is a native South American plant. Scientists believe that it grew wild in Brazil long ago.

This is believed to be the way the plant reached the place where the Incas(印第安人) lived. The Incas, from about 1100 to 1532, thought highly of peanuts.

Later in the 16th century, European soldiers had brought peanuts to other parts of the world, including North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Pacific Islands.
Although peanuts were found native in South America, they are now grown in almost every country that has warm weather. India produces the most peanuts. China’s production is next, followed by the United States.
The peanuts is special in more ways than one. It can be eaten raw, boiled or fried. Hundreds of widely different products have been made from it.
Peanuts are very highly nutritious(有营养的). Americans use about seven-tenths of their protein(蛋白质) in the form of meat. In India, where the poor can’t pay for meal or milk, peanut meal and peanut milk have been produced. These have been a great help to the poor.

It is one of the most famous books in the world: yet it has no story and no interesting characters, no exciting beginning and no satisfying ending. And yet this book keeps being printed and it keeps growing. At its last printing, it was 20 volumes (卷), with nearly 22,000 pages. This book is one of the most famous dictionaries in the English-speaking world, the Oxford English Dictionary.
The Oxford English Dictionary or OED for short, began in 1857 as just an idea of a group of people who thought the world needed an English-language dictionary to show the history of English words from 1150 CE to the present. It wasn’t until the late 1870s, however, when James Murray joined the project that it began to grow. Murray planned for a dictionary of about 6, 400 pages in four volumes, completed in 10 years.
James Murray (1837-1915) did most of his work in a small metal building called the Scriptorium. That small building, hot in summer and cold in winter, was the place where Murray and his assistants (助手) collected millions of pieces of paper, each one with a word and an example sentence or phrase written on it. Murray and his assistants worked hard, but after five years they had only reached the word ant!
It was not until 1928 that the dictionary was told to the public completed and published: 10 volumes with over 400,000 words and phrases. James Murray did not live to see the completion of his life’s work, he passed away in 1915, over ten years before OED came out.
As soon as the dictionary was published, however, the editors started to update (更新) it! In 1933, the Oxford English dictionary was reprinted in 12 volumes. Between 1972 and 1986, four more volumes were added with new technical and scientific vocabulary and words from other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. In 1989, the entire (整个的) dictionary was reprinted in 20 volumes! Three years later, all 20 volumes were put onto CD, and the entire dictionary is available online today.
With about 600,000 words and three million quotations (引语) from over 1,000 years of English, the OED not only records where the English language has come from but has also become an important part of the history of English-speaking cultures around the world.

Popular sites like Taobao and Jingdong are very “busy”—they are covered in plenty of links（链接）and flashing ads. They often include all kinds of bright colors as well. But if we take a look at most western websites, they usually have the simpler colors.
So why are Chinese websites designed this way Some say that Chinese web design hasn’t “caught up” to standard（标准）Western web design practices. But I don’t think this quite explains it. Some Chinese sites, such as Baidu, are quite clean-looking.
A more possible explanation has to do with the Chinese language. There are no large litters or spaces in Chinese writing. That might make foreigners who are used to seeing these things in their letter writing think that Chinese text looks very crowded.
Another thing that makes Chinese websites look so busy is the large number of links. Some sites might have hundreds of links on their front page. Again, there is a language-related explanation. It is difficult to type Chinese on a Roman alphabet﹣based keyboard. You have to type out each character using pinyin, which can be inconvenient. So it’s easier just to click the link you want, instead of typing what you’re looking for.
Or perhaps it could just be that sometimes people prefer flashy and busy websites. Looking through Jindong is like stepping into a noisy, brightly-lit real-life street market. So in this way, Chinese Internet users might feel livelier when using these sites.
I wonder whether the Chinese web design has brought more Internet users who show more interest in their websites. As we know, after all, China is the leading country of the economic development online.
Chinese Websites Look Different
The difference Compared with western websites, Chinese websites are busier with links, flashing ads and ___86___.

Way of writing of Chinese characters makes foreigners think that Chinese text looks very crowded； 2. The ___90___ of typing out each Chinese might be the reason for the large number of links；
Conclusion The writer wonders whether these websites might lead to China’s economic development online.
Have you noticed that “You’re welcome” has largely been taken the place by two new words — “No problem”
Here is an example:
Shop keeper: “Here’s your change, ma’am.”
Me: “Thank you.”
Shop keeper: “No problem.”
But to me, it is a problem. I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don’t want this automatic（机械的）reply. “You are welcome” means “You are welcome to shop here; thanks for letting us help you.” When I hear “no problem”, what I think is: “You’re not helping me. I’ll go somewhere else next time.”
There are other more annoying（恼人的）phrases, of course. But this one especially seems to just push people to one side. It seems to say, “I’ve taken care of you, so now leave me alone.” It seems to say that you are actually not ‘welcome”.
It’s part of a whole, lazy culture. People don’t notice each other. People can’t be bothered（打搅）. People sit close together in a coffee shop. But they don’t talk. They just look at their smartphones. If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little so you can sit down, they reply, “No problem.” I don’t feel that means “You’re welcome to join the table.” I feel it means “No problem that you only bothered me a bit.”
Lots of people think this phrase is mainly used by younger people, much like “whatever”. But actually, “no problem” crosses generations（几代人）. It’s taken hold in a way that fits almost every group of people. There is “no problem” wherever you go.
Next time you’re about to say those two words, stop for a minute. Make eye contact（接触）, and say with a smile, “You’re welcome.”
Be a bit more polite No problem.
A ____91____ way of replying “Thank you”
The present situation of it —Now, most people in different age groups always use it ____92____ “You are welcome”.
The reason for using it —People become lazy and ____93____ to others around.
The writer’s opinions and advice on it —She gets an ____94____ feeling when hearing it. —She thinks the meaning ____95____ is “I don’t welcome you.”
—She suggests people think twice before speaking the two words out.
