What an exciting day it was for Jennifer and Valerie! They had been friends since
Grade Three and had 1 many of their high school experiences. Now they were driving together to their final high school event. Today was 2 day at Lamar High School. Although they were close friends they were different in many ways. Jennifer was a fairly diligent student while Valerie did just enough to get by and was mainly interested in a good social life.
“Isn't it 3 that we re all finished? "said Valerie. "I’m really looking forward to having a good time this summer.”
“Must be nice, "Jennifer replied. "I’m afraid I'm going to have to work most of the summer to help pay for my college expenses.”
Jennifer’s parents had only a small 4 and she had made up her mind to have an occupation in which she could afford all the things her parents could not. Valerie，5 ,came from a fairly well-to-do(富裕的)family. She had little desire to work hard for what she had always taken for granted(认为…理所当然).
I really don’t want to go to college for a while,”she admitted. “My uncle runs a restaurant in the Bahamas and he has invited me to spend a year there as a waitress. That should give me plenty of 6 for the beach.”

During the summer vacation, one of my friends helped me find a tutoring(家教)job: to teach a 12-year-old girl English and math. But that's not all-I have to baby-sit her while her parents are at work.

“Before I came here，”one child said,”I thought swimming was running through an open fire hydrant(消防龙头).”
“Here " is a summer camp that’s only an hour from New York City but a world away. This camp is r 1 by the Fresh Air Fund(基金会). Since 1877, the fund has helped poor children from New York City spend summers in the country. Each year, over one thousand children, aged 6-18, take part in the program. Some s 2 at the camp; others live with host families. The fund pays all the money.
The camp is for 8 to 15-year-olds. At camp, children can learn about the stars, see deer and cows and other animals, and go hiking, fishing, and of course swimming. The children learn responsibility by h 3 out with chores(杂物)like making beds and waiting on tables. They also learn a lot from teachers, who are often c 4 students from around the United States and from other countries.
Host families from thirteen s 5 and Canada offer to have children spend the summer with them. Many of these families have their o 6 children. The visiting children become part of the family. They go with the family on picnics, to the pool or beach, and on trips. The children are from 6 to 12 years old when they make their first visit, and most are invited back. Some of the children and families become f 7 for life.

Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks suggests that sharks don't like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still a 1 after receiving only one bite. Why is this?
There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious. We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not a 2 of anything.Naturally,that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet, the only way they can find out about an object is to bite it!It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason,and then swim a 3 .
Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones. It is h 4 for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that's why they only bite us o 5 . Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!
Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may s 6 mistake humans for seals. An example of this is when a shark attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from b 7 . Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.
Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.

Since May 8, Boston Dynamics dog-like robot, Spot, has been in use at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park in Singapore to help encourage social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic(*新冠肺炎疫情)according to a r 1 in the South China Morning Post.
Singapore’s government is funding the experiment of the robotic dog, which will last for two weeks at the park during of-peak(非高峰的) hours.
“ The robot isn’t enforcing(强制执行).It’s just giving people information and encouraging them, "Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert told CNBC. " When Spot is patrolling(巡逻)the area, there’s a park officer n 2 who can do whatever enforcement he decides is suitable.”
Cameras f 3 on Spot will scan the surroundings and help officers work out the number of visitors in the park but they cannot read faces and won’t collect any personal information. It also carries a loudspeaker to broadcast a pre-recorded message to r 4 visitors of the importance of social distancing.
Without enough manpower, Singapore is t 5 to robotics to reduce the manpower required for park patrols and remind people about the risks they may be putting themselves and others in.
The question, however, is whether their use of Spot will be a good tool or will only attract more people to it instead.
If the two-week experiment proves s 6 ,the government will consider using Spot at the park during peak hours. Singapore will also do studies to see if it's worth using other Spots in other parks. Already, Singapore engineers are trying to improve Spot, making it tell if people are together in a group or strangers passing on the grass.
No one knows if Spot will stay after the pandemic is gone,but one thing is for s 7 ;the robot is the hardest working dog in the world.
