Florence Nightingale was the first great nurse in the world. She was born in a rich family on May 12, 1820. She was very kind-hearted and enjoyed helping others, especially people who were sick. 65 She thought that helping patients was both a duty and a pleasure. So she decided to be a nurse when she was 24. But her parents didn’t agree. 66 Her family had lots of money, so they thought it was not necessary for her to work. Besides, nurses were not well respected(尊敬) at that time. But Nightingale didn’t change her mind. She believed that her dream would come true. Later she went to Germany and France to learn to be a nurse. At that time there were no nursing schools. 67所以她不得不学习大量的护理知识。

During the war she went to the front hospitals to look after soldiers. 68她为病人买了衣服、药品还有食物。She always took good care of the soldiers with a lamp in her hands at night and soldiers called her “The lady with the lamp”.

After the war. Nightingale opened the world’s first nursing school. She went on serving the others through her work as a nurse.

In 1910, she died quietly in her sleep at the age of ninety. 69 In 1974, her birthday became International Nurses’ Day because of the great love and help she gave to people.

Gao Yan is a mother from Shanghai. She takes her young daughter, a first grader, to work this week. Her daughter sits at a desk next to her and uses a computer to have online classes.

With COVID-19 outbreaks(新冠爆发), many places put classes for primary and middle school students online and limits the movement(限制行动) to make sure the safety(安全) of students and teachers.

Because of COVID-19, Shanghai’ s education authority(教育权威) says that all primary and middle school students would start online classes the next day. As Gao and her husband both have to work and there is no one to take care of her daughter, she has to take her daughter to work.

“My workmates are very helpful, and my daughter finds online classes very interesting because it is the first time she has these online classes,” Gao said.

For each 40-minute course, her daughter can have live talks with teachers and classmates, she said. “I like the online classes because no parent wants their child to be left behind with COVID-19 at school,” she said. “My only concern(担忧) is that   her eyesight might be bad from looking at the computer for too long.”

Shanghai middle school student Liu Yanming starts to take online classes at home on Monday with his father, a teacher who also takes part in other classes. Liu says he is no stranger(陌生人) to online classes as he spent a long time studying online in 2020. The teachers are also very familiar(熟悉的) with how to use classes online and because of the online classes he can also get up a bit later and does not need to wear a school uniform.

His mother, Xie Feng, says online classes are the “lesser of two evils”(两害相权取其轻). While face-to-face teaching can not be safe now, she says that without teachers’   supervision(监督) she sees her son playing games while taking online classes.

25、①Have you ever heard about the story of The Old Man and the Sea? It was written by American writer Hemingway in 1952. The story is about an old fisherman who has been fighting for a long time with a huge marlin (枪鱼).

②The old man went fishing every day but he hadn’t caught a fish for eighty-four days. In the first forty days, there was a boy with him. The old man taught the boy to fish. But after forty days without a fish, the boy’s parents told him that the old man was unlucky. The boy then was asked to work on another boat.

③After the boy left, the old man went fishing alone. One day the old man caught a huge marlin. He was greatly tested. Unluckily, the marlin’s blood attracted a lot of sharks (鲨鱼). The old man was weak but fought against the sharks hard. Finally, he went back with a huge fish skeleton (骨架). Although the old man didn’t bring back the fish, he won.

27、   The toucan (巨嘴鸟) is a colourful bird. Take a look at these facts about the toucan, and you may learn something you didn't know before!

·Where do they live?

Toucans can be found in the tropical (热带) forests of South America. Their home is in danger. It is advised to avoid buying rainforest wood and to protect the habitat (栖息地) of toucans.

·What do they look like?

Toucans have a black body and white throat. The colourful beak (鸟喙) is about 8 inches long and makes up 1/3 of the bird's total length. It may look pretty big, but thankfully for the toucan, their beaks are not too heavy. It is composed of keratin (角蛋白), which makes it much lighter than you would think just by looking.

·What do they eat and drink?

Toucans use their beak to peel and eat different kinds of fruits, which happens to be the kind of food they eat most often. Sometimes toucans will choose to snack on insects, frogs, or the eggs of other birds. Toucans get most of their watch from the fruits they eat, so they don't need too much extra water.

·Believe it or not!

Toucans don't have very big wings. They have to flag their wings vigorously (强力地) to travel short distance. So you will often find them hopping rather than lying through the air. Toucans can be rather lazy birds and they like to stay in one place generally. They don't fly high up in the sky or very far away from home, and enjoy staying in trees with their delicious fruit to eat. Wild cats are a predator of toucans in the rainforest. Other predators include large birds. Same snakes may attack smaller toucans but typically are more interested in the toucan's eggs instead.

One Sunday, Nick went skiing at Sugar-loaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he a 【1】 turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nick was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nick had no idea where he was. He thought about all the survival s【2】 he had watched on TV. It was time to put what he had learned to use. He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put（留下原地）. The first thing he did was to find s【3】 from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, w【4】 could quickly kill him.

Using his skis, Nick built a snow cave. He got in. Then he piled branches on top of himself to stay as warm as he c【5】. By that evening, Nick was really hungry and he ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t l【6】 too much water.

He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because w【8】 shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nick went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days of being lost in the snow, Nick was saved.

Nick might not have s【9】 this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Bear Grylls’ survival show “Man vs. Wild”. That’s w【10】 he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode of “Man vs. Wild”, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
