Rainforests (雨林) are important ecosystems (生态系统) on our planet. They cover only about 6% of the earth's surface (表面).

Rainforests are very wet. They get more than 200 centimeters of rain every year. The weather there is always warm, with temperatures between 20°C and 30°C. This warm and wet climate helps plants grow quickly. You can find tall trees, colorful flowers, and small plants on the forest floor. Also, many animals live in rainforests. Some animals move very slowly, while others, like jaguars (美洲豹), run very fast.

But rainforests are in danger. People cut down trees to get wood and build farms. If we don't protect (保护) rainforests, many species (物种) will disappear forever.

Before Grade 8, when Tim went home after school, he only did two things: play phone games or talk with friends online. He never helped his parents with housework. Sometimes his mom asked him to tidy up his room, but he always said he was busy.

One day, in Tim's English class, they learned about doing housework. The teacher told them that doing housework makes them responsible (有责任感的) and makes the parents feel happy. After class, Tim talked to his best friend James and knew that James often washes dishes and waters the plants.

That evening, Tim offered to help his mom wash the dishes. His mom was surprised. The next weekend, Tim asked his mom to teach him to cook. They made tomato and egg noodles together. Tim felt very proud. He had fun cooking with his mom and made his family happy.

Now, Tim often helps to do housework: he sweeps his room every morning, helps clean the table after dinner, and even folds the clothes on Sundays. He now knows: housework isn't just "work"—it's a small way to show love to his family, and that's much more meaningful than playing games alone.

A. James seldom helps his parents at home.

B. The teacher asked every student to wash dishes at home.

Have you ever had any conflicts (冲突) with your best friend? In fact, even the closest friends can cause (造成) conflicts without understanding or enough communication.

Emma and Lily were best friends since junior high school. They shared interests, hobbies and laughter. However, things changed when Emma joined a science club. She spent less time with Lily who felt uncomfortable to be ignored (忽视). One day, Lily posted a sad message online, "Some people forget old friends when they find new ones." Emma saw it and thought Lily was laughing at her. They stopped talking, and their friendship seemed ruined.

After a week of silence, Emma felt hurt and turned to Mrs. Li who was her teacher for help. Mrs. Li told her that friendship conflicts often start with misunderstanding. Here are some tips from Mrs. Li:

1. Use "I feel" sentences instead of blaming (责备).

2. Understand the other's feelings.

3. Find the ways that work for both to solve problems.

Emma decided to talk to Lily. She said, "I miss you. I didn't mean to make you feel ignored." Lily said sorry too, "I shouldn't post the sad message online. I was just sad." They knew their mistakes.
