It is about 430 meters below sea level (海平面), making it the lowest point on earth’s land. Yuncheng Salt Lake, also called “China’s Dead Sea”, is in Yuncheng City of Shanxi Province. As China’s oldest saltwater lake, it has a history of over 50 million years. Today, the lake is an important salt production and trade center. It is also a popular tourist place. Visitors come to enjoy its unique beauty and even float in its salty water. What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with the salt concentration (含盐量) of more than 30 percent, which is much higher than typical seawater. The Dead Sea stays so salty because it gets very little rainfall every year. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea makes the fresh water evaporate (蒸发) quickly. As a result, almost no plants or animals can live there. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well. In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea during the sunny months from April to October. However, July and August are less popular because they are the hottest months. If you walk along the shore, you will likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines. 1．Where is the Dead Sea? 2．What is interesting about the Dead Sea? 3．Why is the Dead Sea so salty? 4．When is a good time to visit the Dead Sea? Please give two options (选择). 5．What can people do if they take a visit to Yuncheng Salt Lake? 6．Have you ever been to any special places? What is special about it?

This makes them have pollen allergies (过敏). Because the weather is getting warmer, flowers open earlier and live longer, making the pollen season longer. What’s more, warmer weather brings more carbon dioxide—a gas (气体) that helps plants grow. Plants use it as food to grow and this helps plants make more pollen.

When we are angry, we should take a break and calm down. If we are scared, we can find someone to help us. Understanding and managing our own feelings help us be stronger. There are different kinds of feelings like anger, frustration (挫败), worry and sadness. We can also have feelings like excitement, happiness and joy. These feelings can be difficult to control and sometimes stop us from doing things we need to do, like playing and working. Some Good Ways to Calm Down Talking to a trusted adult could help. Getting some fresh air outside. Spending some time by yourself: reading, sleeping or listening to music. Splashing (泼洒) a little bit of cold water on your face. Having a cool drink of water. Doing exercise also helps let some of the big feelings out. Taking big deep breaths slowly in and out could help too.

What is labor education? Labor education doesn’t mean teaching students how to work, but is an education about the hardworking spirit. There are many kinds of things students can do at home, at school and in the community (社区). In the following, three middle school students are talking about labor education in their schools. Steve, 15, the UK Starting in Grade 7, our school makes DIY as part of the courses. It allows us to use different materials to make things like flower pots. We can also join in some volunteer activities. They are all useful and meaningful. I learn a lot from them. Zhang Boren, 13, China Students in my school have a 5-minute longer break between classes. To help us better enjoy break-time activities, the school opens planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). So now we can do some labor in the gardens and animal feeding places during breaks, which is quite new and relaxing. Huang Luofei, 15, Singapore In Singapore, schools don’t teach labor education directly. We usually use the time after school to do some useful volunteer activities, such as helping clean up the school or raising money for people in need. Through these activities, we can learn to care about others. I enjoy them. What can labor education bring to students? ●Be independent: Doing chores teaches students important life skills about how to care for themselves, and helps them become independent. ●Be responsible (有责任心的): When students clean their classrooms or help at home, they learn to share responsibility as members of a group. ●Be thankful: By doing some work themselves, students will thank what others do for them. Labor education isn’t just about “work”. Through these hands-on tasks, students can learn that even small acts help everyone around them. 1．What is labor education? 2．How does Zhang Boren spend his break time now? 3．Which two countries have a common way of labor education? 4．What can students be like if they get labor education? 5．What labor did you do at home or in the school?

The Dead Sea’s magical water will keep you floating (漂浮) like a beach ball. Bring a book—you can even read while staying on the water! The Dead Sea is in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It is about 430 meters below sea level (海平面), making it the lowest point on earth’s land. Yuncheng Salt Lake, also called “China’s Dead Sea”, is in Yuncheng City of Shanxi Province. As China’s oldest saltwater lake, it has a history of over 50 million years. Today, the lake is an important salt production and trade center. It is also a popular tourist place. Visitors come to enjoy its unique beauty and even float in its salty water. What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with the salt concentration (含盐量) of more than 30 percent, which is much higher than typical seawater. The Dead Sea stays so salty because it gets very little rainfall every year. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea makes the fresh water evaporate (蒸发) quickly. As a result, almost no plants or animals can live there. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well. In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea during the sunny months from April to October. However, July and August are less popular because they are the hottest months. If you walk along the shore, you will likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines. 1．Where is the Dead Sea? 2．What is interesting about the Dead Sea? 3．Why is the Dead Sea so salty? 4．When is a good time to visit the Dead Sea? Please give two options (选择). 5．What can people do if they take a visit to Yuncheng Salt Lake? 6．Have you ever been to any special places? What is special about it? 【答案】 1． It is in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia. 2． The Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea—it’s a lake with a salt concentration of over 30%, which is much higher than typical seawater. 3． Because it gets very little rainfall every year and the hot weather around it makes the fresh water evaporate quickly. 4． April and May/June/September/October. 5． People can enjoy its unique beauty and float in its salty water. 6．回答合理即可。参考答案：I have been to Huangshan. What is special about it is that it has unique natural landscapes such as strange pine trees, grotesque rocks and sea of clouds. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了死海的地理位置、特点，还提到了中国的“死海”——运城盐湖的相关信息，包括其历史、功能以及游客在那里可以进行的活动等。 1．根据“The Dead Sea is in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia.”可知，死海位于亚洲西南部的约旦裂谷，故填It is in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia. 2．根据“What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea.

They feel shy and don’t know how to start a conversation. Another common problem is conflicts (冲突) with friends. Friends may have different opinions or interests, which can lead to arguments. Sometimes, a small disagreement can turn into a big fight, and students may not know how to solve it.

To help us better enjoy break-time activities, the school opens planting areas and animal breeding zones (饲养区). So now we can do some labor in the gardens and animal feeding places during breaks, which is quite new and relaxing. Huang Luofei, 15, Singapore In Singapore, schools don’t teach labor education directly. We usually use the time after school to do some useful volunteer activities, such as helping clean up the school or raising money for people in need. Through these activities, we can learn to care about others. I enjoy them. What can labor education bring to students? ●Be independent: Doing chores teaches students important life skills about how to care for themselves, and helps them become independent. ●Be responsible (有责任心的): When students clean their classrooms or help at home, they learn to share responsibility as members of a group. ●Be thankful: By doing some work themselves, students will thank what others do for them.
