There’s nothing better than an ice-cold drink on a hot day. But when you’re outside, keeping drinks cold isn’t easy. Ice melts, coolers are heavy, and your refrigerator is probably far away. Wouldn’t it be great if your drink could just cool itself? Now, the Cool Can makes that possible!
The Cool Can is a self-cooling can. 1 Although he never studied engineering, he spent years trying to create a can that could cool a drink in minutes.
The Cool Can works when you push a button on its bottom. 2 And after a few minutes, the drink inside is ice-cold as well.
This works because of a special layer of crystals (晶体) inside the can’s walls. When you push the button, water is released, which mixes with the crystals. This creates a reaction (反应) that takes in heat. 3 in addition to being easy to use, the Cool Can could also help reduce the need for refrigerators. According to the United Nations, refrigerators use 17% of the world’s electricity. Plus, unlike plastic bottles, the Cool Can itself is fully recyclable.
4 A survey of 100 university students by Vose’s company, data Hinovations, found that 81% would choose a self-cooling can over a normal one when drinking on the go, while 73% would be happy to pay more if it meant their drink was cold.
Vose is already talking to drink companies like Coca-Cola and Red Bull. If all goes well, the Cool Can could be on sale by 2026.
A.That makes the drink inside cold.
B.The idea is already quite popular.
C.He used to work as a drink server.
D.It was invented by James Vose of Wales.
E.The outside of the can gets cold right away.

The Important and Necessary Skills for Being Human
Whether it was nature or not, I grew into a distant (疏离的) person. This was great for my job as a reporter. However, it’s not so for deep, happy relationships.
1 If someone shared something personal with me, I would look at my shoes and then say I had an important date with others.
But life has a way of changing you. I’ve learned that, if you want to be a kind and wise person, you need to be open-hearted. However, just being open-hearted is not enough. 2 For example, you should know how to disagree without hurting feelings, share personal things at the right time, listen well and make everyone feel welcome at a party. You need to know how to see things from another person’s point of view, too.
In almost every group, there are two types (类型) of people. Those of the first type pay so much attention to themselves that they make others feel small. If they learn one thing about you, they think they fully know you. 3 They learn how to understand people. They ask the right questions at the right time. They try to see things from others’ point of view. They always make others shine.
A warm and caring person can make others feel respected and valued, while someone who is too formal (正式的) might make the same people feel small and unimportant. As a researcher says, “Paying attention to others is a moral (道德的) act. 4 ”
A.You also need social skills.
B.It brings out the best in people.
C.Then you’ve pushed everyone away.
D.The second type cares more about others.
E.I always tried to stay away from the heartfelt time.

Wenxing Primary School’s Special Lesson
At Wenxing Primary School in Suzhou High-tech Area, a teacher named Yan Xiaofang designed a creative lesson that combined Chinese and science. The students in this class learned the text Soap Bubbles. They didn’t just read the text— they became “little scientists”! 1
The lesson began with reading. First, the students read the Chinese text Soap Bubbles aloud. Teacher Yan guided them to notice descriptive words like “shiny” and “beautiful.” Then, she asked a key question: “How can we make bubbles fly higher?” 2
Next, the students worked in groups. Each group had different tasks to complete. 1 One student’s job was to record how high the bubbles flew. Teacher Yan walked around the room, asking questions to help the students think deeper. After several tries, each group shared their data.
The students compared their results carefully. 2 The student said, “Bubbles made with 1:3 soap-to-water flew higher but broke faster.” This discovery led to a class discussion. They connected the science result to the text’s description of bubbles as “beautiful but fragile.”
What did the students learn? 3 They also learned to describe things using Chinese words and to collect and compare data like scientists. One student said excitedly, “I see how Chinese and science work together!” By mixing subjects, students connected classroom knowledge with real-life experiences.

You might know Jane Austen’s name from books or even the 10-pound note in the UK. She was a famous British writer (1775-1817) whose clever stories about society still attract readers today. This year is the 250th anniversary of her birth. 1 .
Born in England, Austen loved reading and writing from a young age. She wrote six novels, two of which came out after she died. Austen’s books focus on themes like gender (性别), power, education and marriage. For example, in Pride and Prejudice (《傲慢与偏见》), Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters face society’s ideas about love and marriage. 2 . However, her plans don’t always work! All of her books show her independent ideas about these themes from a woman’s point of view.
3 . They couldn’t vote (投票) until 1918 or have control over their own money until 1870. For many, marrying a rich or powerful man was the only way to have a safe future.
But Austen’s heroines (女主角) were different. 4 , “Those women characters are strong and honest about their feelings,” a student, Moa, said. Marilyn Joyce, a Jane Austen expert, agreed. “She’s writing about people and their problems, their difficult families and the questions of why, and even if, women should marry. Those topics are still important now.
5 . As a result, Austen’s novels are still loved around the world and have been made into many movies and TV shows.
A.In Austen’s time, women had few rights
B.Austen’s stories talk about timeless problems and ideas

Going to theme parks with families for a holiday is popular, but it costs a lot of money. Happily, there are some golden rules of ticket-buying that apply to almost every theme park, and they can help you reduce the cost of tickets. 31
Buy tickets online.
Never ever pay the walk-up ticket price at a theme park. 1 You’re guaranteed to save a significant sum—sometimes as much as $20 per ticket—even for same-day tickets.
Buy in advance.
2 For instance, Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, takes away $25 from the price of each ticket when you make your purchase at least three days ahead.

This one is something that everyone can easily understand. Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, are about 30 percent less than admission (入园) on Saturdays and Sundays. But the really great thing is that the lines will be much shorter. So you don’t have to wait in lines for a long time. You can have more fun instead.
Go in the afternoon.
4 For example, Hersheypark’s sunset tickets let you enter the park after 4 pm or 5 pm. It depends on which day it is. You’ll still get between four to six hours of fun before the park closes, and you’ll pay up to 50 percent less than the full-day ticket price.
A.Avoid weekends.
B.Here are some ways to lower your theme park cost.
C.Instead, visit the theme park website and print out your tickets before you go.
D.Some parks offer deeply discounted tickets for visitors arriving later in the day.
E.Most theme parks offer a price cut if you buy tickets at least a few days before you arrive.

There’s nothing better than an ice-cold drink on a hot day. But when you’re outside, keeping drinks cold isn’t easy. Ice melts, coolers are heavy, and your refrigerator is probably far away. Wouldn’t it be great if your drink could just cool itself? Now, the Cool Can makes that possible!
The Cool Can is a self-cooling can. 1 Although he never studied engineering, he spent years trying to create a can that could cool a drink in minutes.
The Cool Can works when you push a button on its bottom. 2 And after a few minutes, the drink inside is ice-cold as well.
This works because of a special layer of crystals (晶体) inside the can’s walls. When you push the button, water is released, which mixes with the crystals. This creates a reaction (反应) that takes in heat. 3 in addition to being easy to use, the Cool Can could also help reduce the need for refrigerators. According to the United Nations, refrigerators use 17% of the world’s electricity. Plus, unlike plastic bottles, the Cool Can itself is fully recyclable.
4 A survey of 100 university students by Vose’s company, data Hinovations, found that 81% would choose a self-cooling can over a normal one when drinking on the go, while 73% would be happy to pay more if it meant their drink was cold.
Vose is already talking to drink companies like Coca-Cola and Red Bull. If all goes well, the Cool Can could be on sale by 2026.
A.That makes the drink inside cold.
B.The idea is already quite popular.
C.He used to work as a drink server.
D.It was invented by James Vose of Wales.
E.The outside of the can gets cold right away.

The Important and Necessary Skills for Being Human
Whether it was nature or not, I grew into a distant (疏离的) person. This was great for my job as a reporter. However, it’s not so for deep, happy relationships.
1 If someone shared something personal with me, I would look at my shoes and then say I had an important date with others.
But life has a way of changing you. I’ve learned that, if you want to be a kind and wise person, you need to be open-hearted. However, just being open-hearted is not enough. 2 For example, you should know how to disagree without hurting feelings, share personal things at the right time, listen well and make everyone feel welcome at a party. You need to know how to see things from another person’s point of view, too.
In almost every group, there are two types (类型) of people. Those of the first type pay so much attention to themselves that they make others feel small. If they learn one thing about you, they think they fully know you. 3 They learn how to understand people. They ask the right questions at the right time. They try to see things from others’ point of view. They always make others shine.
A warm and caring person can make others feel respected and valued, while someone who is too formal (正式的) might make the same people feel small and unimportant. As a researcher says, “Paying attention to others is a moral (道德的) act. 4 ”
A.You also need social skills.
B.It brings out the best in people.
C.Then you’ve pushed everyone away.
D.The second type cares more about others.
E.I always tried to stay away from the heartfelt time.

Few people knew about online food delivery (外卖) apps ten years ago, but today, many would find it hard to live without them. For better or for worse, online food delivery services have changed the way we eat. 73
These services no doubt have many advantages. They provide jobs for millions of people and help restaurants find more customers. Since the apps are very easy to use, they also do good to customers: we can now have meals delivered at any time of day. This is especially important for people who might not have time to cook. Not only do these apps save time, they also provide us with plenty of restaurants to choose from. 1 They can buy meals and foods more easily with these apps.
2 First, they make it even easier to order unhealthy food. Food safety is another problem: it can be hard to know where the food comes from. As delivery men need to send the orders as quickly as possible, some pay little attention to traffic rules. 3 What’s more, delivery services are creating too much packaging waste, and this will be harmful to the environment.
There are many advantages of online food delivery services, but we need to make sure that we make the right choices in the long run. We should do our best to avoid waste. We also need to make sure what we eat is healthy. Next time you are thinking about ordering in, ask yourself whether you really need to. Most of the time, it’s better to buy what you need and cook by yourself.
A.They are useful for old people as well.
B.They are also having a huge influence on our society.
C.However, we must not forget the disadvantages of these services.
D.In recent years, a number of people have been hurt or even killed because of this.
E.I never order food online.

The two-day weekend provides valuable time for both study and rest. To make the best use of it, we need to have some useful ways. 81
Make good plans. Divide your weekend into study time and break time. Mornings are best for difficult subjects when you feel most awake. 1 Remember to include fun activities too—watching educational shows or visiting interesting places can help you learn while relaxing.
Set clear goals (目标). Choose certain tasks like finishing two lessons or doing fifteen math problems. Big tasks will be easier to carry out when they’re broken into small parts. For example, you can set your goal “Reading about World War II for 45 minutes.” instead of “studying history.”
2 Besides your school books, try to study with learning apps, educational videos, and books from the library. Friends are your helpers, too. If you don’t understand something, you can discuss with each other.
Keep healthy habits. Sleep eight hours each night, eat healthy food, and do some exercise like walking or swimming. Drink water and avoid too much junk food. When studying, take short breaks every hour to move around. 84
By keeping a balance (平衡) between study and rest, you can do well in school and still enjoy your weekend. These smart ways of learning will help you succeed without getting too tired.

Wenxing Primary School’s Special Lesson
At Wenxing Primary School in Suzhou High-tech Area, a teacher named Yan Xiaofang designed a creative lesson that combined Chinese and science. The students in this class learned the text Soap Bubbles. They didn’t just read the text— they became “little scientists”! 1
The lesson began with reading. First, the students read the Chinese text Soap Bubbles aloud. Teacher Yan guided them to notice descriptive words like “shiny” and “beautiful.” Then, she asked a key question: “How can we make bubbles fly higher?” 2
Next, the students worked in groups. Each group had different tasks to complete. 1 One student’s job was to record how high the bubbles flew. Teacher Yan walked around the room, asking questions to help the students think deeper. After several tries, each group shared their data.
The students compared their results carefully. 2 The student said, “Bubbles made with 1:3 soap-to-water flew higher but broke faster.” This discovery led to a class discussion. They connected the science result to the text’s description of bubbles as “beautiful but fragile.”
What did the students learn? 3 They also learned to describe things using Chinese words and to collect and compare data like scientists. One student said excitedly, “I see how Chinese and science work together!” By mixing subjects, students connected classroom knowledge with real-life experiences.

For example, in Pride and Prejudice (《傲慢与偏见》), Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters face society’s ideas about love and marriage. 2 . However, her plans don’t always work! All of her books show her independent ideas about these themes from a woman’s point of view.
3 . They couldn’t vote (投票) until 1918 or have control over their own money until 1870. For many, marrying a rich or powerful man was the only way to have a safe future.
But Austen’s heroines (女主角) were different. 4 , “Those women characters are strong and honest about their feelings,” a student, Moa, said. Marilyn Joyce, a Jane Austen expert, agreed. “She’s writing about people and their problems, their difficult families and the questions of why, and even if, women should marry.

Lauren Helper, a social worker in Virginia, US, pointed out that if people enjoy music of any kind, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. 3 It’s OK whether you are moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. “The important part of movement is that it is fun,” she told Psych Central.

Going to theme parks with families for a holiday is popular, but it costs a lot of money. Happily, there are some golden rules of ticket-buying that apply to almost every theme park, and they can help you reduce the cost of tickets. 31
Buy tickets online.
Never ever pay the walk-up ticket price at a theme park. 1 You’re guaranteed to save a significant sum—sometimes as much as $20 per ticket—even for same-day tickets.
Buy in advance.
2 For instance, Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, takes away $25 from the price of each ticket when you make your purchase at least three days ahead.
3
This one is something that everyone can easily understand. Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, are about 30 percent less than admission (入园) on Saturdays and Sundays. But the really great thing is that the lines will be much shorter. So you don’t have to wait in lines for a long time. You can have more fun instead.
Go in the afternoon.
4 For example, Hersheypark’s sunset tickets let you enter the park after 4 pm or 5 pm. It depends on which day it is. You’ll still get between four to six hours of fun before the park closes, and you’ll pay up to 50 percent less than the full-day ticket price.
A.Avoid weekends.
B.Here are some ways to lower your theme park cost.
C.Instead, visit the theme park website and print out your tickets before you go.
D.Some parks offer deeply discounted tickets for visitors arriving later in the day.
E.Most theme parks offer a price cut if you buy tickets at least a few days before you arrive.
