On June 3, the United States Fish & Wildlife Service（USFWS）annunced that it wuld prtect the triclred bats. The animal wuld be listed under the Endangered Species Act. This fllws a similar annuncement, made in March, t prtect the endangered nrthern lng-eared bats. The tw kinds f bats are in danger, mainly because f an illness called white-nse syndrme（综合症）.
“Bats play such an imprtant rle in keeping a healthy ecsystem.” USFWS directr Martha Williams said. “But white-nse syndrme is destrying bats.” she added.
White-nse syndrme is caused by a fungus（真菌）. It is knwn t influence nly bats, shwing up n the animal’s nse and wings. The fungus grws in places that are cld, dark, and wet, like caves. As it hurts a bat’s skin, the animal’s behavir starts t change. The bat becmes mre active than nrmal, wasting the energy it needs t live.
Wrldwide, there are mre than 1, 400 kinds f bats. Mst bats are insectivres, which means they eat insects. In a single night, bats can eat insects f “up t half their weight.” This is gd news fr farmers, since bats eat insects that harm crps. Accrding t the USFWS, the animals help U.S. farmers save mre than $3 billin a year in insect cntrl.
Nwadays there is n treatment fr white-nse syndrme. But scientists are develping ways t help bats. A 2018 study fund that a special light can kill the fungus. Researchers are als testing a fungus-fighting thing that can be placed arund areas where bats live. And they’re wrking n a vaccine（疫苗）. Lcal villagers als prvide suggestins. One example: set bat bxes. The USFWS says it will annunce a decisin abut hw t list the triclred bats by late 2023. A decisin abut the nrthern lng-eared bats is expected next mnth.
67．Why are the triclred bats and the lng-eared bats in danger?
A．Because f a special illness.
B．Because f their fd.
C．Because f their living cnditins.
68．Hw des the fungus kill a bat at last?
A．By changing a bat’s behavir.
B．By hurting a bat’s skin.
C．By wasting the energy a bat needs t live.
69．Why are bats helpful t farmers in the USA?
A．Because bats eat insects that harm crps.
B．Because there are mre than 1, 400 kinds f bats.
C．Because bats cst them mre than $3 billin each year.
70．What are the researchers ding t fight against the white-nse syndrme?

Schl is a big part f life, nt just fr kids but fr their families. There are many reprts and discussins abut what’s best fr students. Everyne has their wn pinins. And they dn’t always agree.
D kids need hmewrk? It depends. Sme readers frm a famus magazine, think that the extra（额外的）wrk reviews what they have learnt in class. And it als helps teachers find where students need mre help. Others say hmewrk adds t students’ stress and takes time away frm exercise r learning smething new. In rder t knw what kind f hmewrk kids shuld d and hw much kids need, the magazine interviewed several kids.
Karen, 9
Kids need hmewrk. When they learn smething new in schl, reviewing it at hme helps them remember it. Our hmewrk gives ur teachers valuable infrmatin. It tells them hw much students are paying attentin in class and wh needs extra help.
Michael, 9
In my pinin, giving students hmewrk is a bad idea. After schl kids need experiences that build a healthy mind and bdy. Hmewrk is nt suppsed t stress kids ut. When there is t much hmewrk, students d prly in hmewrk. In fact, ding hmewrk prly is wrse than ding n hmewrk. As lng as students are wrking hard in class, it’s best nt t give them extra wrk.
Rbert, 8
Kids need hmewrk. But that depends. Middle and high schl students can d mre hmewrk. At my schl, primary students get hmewrk, but nt t much. My teacher might ask us t learn spelling wrds at hme, and each week we’ll be given a test.
Susan, 11
Kids dn’t need hmewrk. They’re learning fr six hurs a day at schl. Adding anther hur f wrk fr kids t d at hme is just having them repeat what they’ve been ding all day. Besides, hmewrk takes time away frm activities like team sprts. These are just as imprtant as schlwrk, because they keep kids active.

Daydreaming, called “thught experiments” by Einstein, can make yu have wild imaginings, like flying arund in space. It lets yur mind walk slwly arund ideas, memries and experiences that aren’t happening right nw. It means thinking ahead t a hliday r remembering hw much yu enjyed a birthday party.

What wuld happen if yu tried t blw a sap (肥皂) bubble in belw-freezing weather? Wuld it freeze and fall t the grund? Wuld yu have t hit it with a stne t break it? These questins came int my mind ne cld winter day. It was t cld t play in the snw, but it was a perfect time t experiment with blwing frzen bubbles.
T blw frzen bubbles, I had t wait until the air utside was very cld. Fr this activity, that meant 10 degrees belw 0 Fahrenheit r clder. I didn’t have the bubble things that cme in a bttle, s I used dish-washing sap. Adding a drp f glycerin made the sap wrk even better. I chse a place ut f the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always d. I watched t see what wuld happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is lw enugh, the skin f the bubble frsts (结霜) ver, becming cludy instead f clear. And what abut thse rainbw swirls (漩涡状物体) that yu see in sap bubbles? The rainbw clrs stay even (均匀的) when the bubbles frst, but they dn’t spin anymre. The bubbles still flat in the air. They dn’t fall t the grund any faster than they wuld n a warm summer day.
When these frzen bubbles break, they dn’t turn int tiny drps f sap as summer bubbles d. They turn int shiny rainbw pieces and fly slwly t the grund. Smetimes a frzen bubble will rll acrss the snw withut breaking. If it breaks, it may leave a strng bubble skin n the grund. Leave the bubble alne and it may stay there fr a lng time.
Smetimes I culd catch a bubble and hld it until the heat f my hand made it pp.

Just ne difficult persnality can make teamwrk hard. Cmbine (结合) several challenging persnality types, and it’s even harder.
Nt having enugh time tgether can als make teamwrk challenging. Fr example, I was nce n a team where we never had enugh time t meet as a grup. T successfully wrk as a team, yu need time tgether—and lts f it.
A final reasn teamwrk is difficult is because there’s ften n training n hw t wrk n a team. Yu can’t just put peple in a rm and expect them t wrk well with each ther. Yu need t build trust with yur team members. Think f ftball players: They aren’t just given a ball and tld t play. They practice, and they train.
Team can be hard, but wrking alne has its challenges, t. When my cmputer desn’t wrk, I dn’t have an IT persn t turn t. When I have a great idea, I dn’t have anyne t share it with t see if it really is a great idea. Dn’t get me wrng—I still like my team f ne and enjy making all f the imprtant decisins myself. But nw I realize what was wrng with the teamwrk I did in the past and hw gd teamwrk culd be if dne crrectly. And that’s useful infrmatin—because ne day I might want t turn my ME TEAM int a WE TEAM.

Chinese, Japanese and Krean all have simpler number wrds. They express math cncepts (概念) mre clearly than English. The language difference has drawn lts f attentin. Several recent studies have cnnected weaker math abilities f English-speaking children with English number wrds.
Chinese, fr example, has just ten basic number wrds. English, hwever, has mre than tw dzen (一打). The truble starts at 11. English has a wrd (eleven) fr that number. Chinese, Japanese and Krean have wrds that can be translated as ten-ne—spken with the ten first. That makes it easier fr these children t understand the place value (位值). And the students can easily see the number system cmes frm units f 10.
English number wrds ver 10 dn’t make the place value clear. Wrds fr numbers 13 t 19 change the rder f the nes and tens. Children ften mix 17 with 71. As a result, children wrking with English number wrds have a harder time ding difficult calculatins (运算). They make mre mistakes.

D yu get in truble fr feeding yur dg n fd frm dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “peple fd”, yu might actually be helping t keep yur pet healthy.
Many dgs are fed dry prcessed fd. Science has shwn that a diet (饮食) f prcessed fd is nt healthy fr humans. Scientists frm the University f Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is nt gd fr ur pet dgs, either.
The scientists discvered that the fds a dg might find in an wner’s hme such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet f just dg fd. This is because having different kinds f fds leads t mre variety (多样性) in micrbes, which are little living things, t small t be seen with ur eyes. There are millins f them in human and animal bdies. Sme are bad fr us, but many are gd fr us, and they play imprtant rles in helping us digest (消化)fd.
A ttal f 8,500 yung pet dgs tk part in the study. 4,500 f them were under 6 mnths ld, and the rest were between 6 and 18 mnths ld.

①Des life smetimes seem t be full f impssible prblems? Hw many times, fr example, d yu find yurself saying things like “I really dn’t understand this Maths prblem”, r “I can’t get int the schl team”? Well, maybe it’s time t intrduce yurself t the pwer f “yet”. By adding this simple wrd, yu can change everything. “I really dn’t understand this Maths prblem yet.” “I can’t get int the schl team yet.” Suddenly, the impssible becmes pssible. Yu can imagine thse things happening.
②I read abut a schl that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The schl find ut that the ld pass/ fail system wasn’t helping students’ mtivatin(积极性). If yu passed, then great, but thse students wh didn’t pass ften felt like failures. S nw students wh dn’t pass the exams will nt see a big red F n their papers; they see a “Nt yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are n a jurney. They haven’t reached the end, but they knw that they are ging the right way.
③This kind f thinking is part f what experts call “having a grwth mindset”. Peple with a grwth mindset dn’t cncentrate n failure. They aren’t wrried by nt getting things right the first time and are happy t keep trying until they d. They enjy the challenge and believe they can change. In cntrast, peple wh just fcus n the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These peple are always wrried abut failure and are happy t give up when things dn’t g right. They dn’t think that they are able t change. Clearly, it is better t have a grwth mindset than a fixed mindset.
④But dn’t wrry if yu think that yu have a fixed mindset. ________. Remember that it all starts with questining the things yu believe abut yurself. Stp believing that yu can’t r yu haven’t and realize that yu just can’t r haven’t yet. Once yu start ding this, yu’ll wnder why yu didn’t d it befre. It’s ne small but very pwerful wrd.

Many f us have seen rainbws in the sky nce the sun starts shining again after it rains. Fr us t see a rainbw, the cnditins need t be just right. We need sme water drps in the air, like rain r even fg, and we need the sun t be behind us and quite lw t the grund. This is because a rainbw is created by light passing thrugh water drps.
The light that cmes frm the sun seems white t us. But the white light we see is made up f a mix f different clrs. When the light ges thrugh a raindrp, these clrs can separate ut. Each f the clrs in the rainbw has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrps lk like little balls. When light hits ne f these little balls f water, the light can change directin. We call this “refractin” (折射). Each f the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrp at the right place, the refractin separates the wavelengths ut int their different clrs.
We are taught there are seven clrs: red, range, yellw, green, blue, indig and vilet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next t each ther in the rainbw, which is why we can see turquise (a mix f blue and green). Brwn is a mix f red and green. But they aren’t next t each ther in the rainbw, s we dn’t see them mix t make brwn.
We wuld never see black and white in a rainbw. Black is what we see when there’s n light at all. On the ther hand, white is a mix f all the clrs tgether. When light is refracted by raindrps, it separates the white light ut, meaning it is n lnger white.

Recently, a research n hw a new virtual reality (VR虚拟现实) experience educated children abut the fire disasters (灾害) was dne. The new VR experience was develped by the University f Suth Australia, hping t educate children t learn hw t be safe in a fire. It presents a situatin fr children aged 10—12. In the situatin, they are tasked t lk after a friend’s dg just befre a fire event begins. They take part in a set f prblem-slving activities t help save and prtect themselves and the dg.
The findings shwed that ver 80% f children culd calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages f different chices. They als learned t make wise decisins t prtect themselves frm a fire. Children thught it especially imprtant and meaningful, because 91% f them didn’t have knwledge f fires at the beginning, and 67% had said that they were t yung t make safety decisins in a fire.

Hwever, the rle that children play in the fire safety at their hmes shuld nt be underestimated (低估). “Children dn’t need t be always waiting fr help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can make children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.
