Dry ice is CO2 in solid form, with a temperature of about -78.5℃.Unlike common ice, dry ice doesn't melt into a liquid . When dry ice melts, it turns into a gas. So when you see dry ice "smoking", it's frozen CO2 melting into its gaseous state. Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments. It creates projects that look cool.
Experiment: Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）
This dry ice experiment will catch people's eye, especially little kids' because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.
Materials
One large block of dry ice
A large spoon
Popsicle sticks
One cup of your favorite juice
A tall glass filled with water
Directions
Use the large spoon to make a popsicle-shaped space in a block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a piece of cloth on your table to do this work. Of course, keep in mind that it's okay if it's not exactly popsicle-shaped.
Add a popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the popsicle stick.
Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden. After several minutes, take away the popsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds. Do this to warm up the popsicle just a bit. Otherwise, it will be too cold.

Some of Australian cyclists have used "GPS art" to turn a 202 km (125- mile) ride into the outline of a goat, which interests many people greatly.
The four men marked their route on an app before using it track their journey around Perth. When uploaded to the computer, it was shown as a picture.

"Except for riding 202km, it's relatively simple," Mr. Jones told the BBC. "You mainly mark your route on the app and it plans directions out."
GPS art has also been widely used by runners and other cyclists when they travel out. Mr. Jones said his group wanted to shake up their normal weekend ride. "We all ride l0,000km to 15,000km a year," he said. "Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time － that's what this was about."
The group received much attention after posting their map to social media this week. Others described Mr. Jones as a goat guy in an interview on Australian
television. For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the koala. "Certainly, there'll be something coming, for we are making our decisions to put more and more plans into practice. I'm sure of that," Mr. Jones said.

Have you ever been given something you don’t like or doesn’t fit, but you don’t want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you? You’re not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesn’t mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesn’t work for you.
If you find yourself with something nice but that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent.
There are specific things you should do to an item. Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You never have to lie about what you are doing, but you
don’t want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesn’t appear used; check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.
When you get ready for regifting, consider having a white elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because that’s the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.

A. To share a hot phenomenon. B. To introduce the following part.

A. People’s lack of money.
B. People’s dislike of the gifts.
C. People’s reduced desire for gifts.
D. People’s understanding of its manners.

A. What to do before regifting.
B. How to make use of unwanted gifts.
C. What kind of gifts to be regifted.
D. Why regifting can cause embarrassment.
31. What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?
A. Suitable but valueless. B. Expensive and useful.
C. Packaged and invaluable. D. Nice but unsuitable.

The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play has an important part in keeping you healthy.
Use "the best medicine" to treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, interesting and happier.
32. What does the underlined word "infectious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Playing an important role.
B. Keeping people in high spirits.
C. Quickly influencing other people.
D. Preventing illness from spreading.
33. What can laughter increase according to the author?
A. Cognitive ability. B. Good relationships.
C. A sense of humor. D. Happiness and trust.
34. What does the author think the old should do?
A. They should have a good rest.
B. They should play like children.
C. They should prevent cognitive falling.
D. They should take part in physical play.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Humor, Laughter and Play for Health
B. Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C. Have an Active and Happy Life
D. Let Our Body and Mind Relax

Dear sir,
It is said that a summer camp is to be held in your school and a few courses are available to choose from. I am interested in gardening very much.
During the learning period, I expect to gain some basic gardening knowledge. First, I want to know how to tell different species of plants and flowers apart. Secondly, the proper cutting time and frequency to water are some other skills I want to learn. In addition, a little knowledge concerning choosing suitable soil or the reasonable planting positions will also be a good choice.
The main reason why I choose gardening is that I want to help my parents with their work in the garden. Besides, I find that we students generally lack the knowledge of gardening, missing a chance to have a word with nature.
