Summer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor（流星）shower event!
The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”
Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .
Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.
“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.
Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!
For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.
4. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?
A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.
B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.
C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.
D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.
5. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?
A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.
B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.
C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.
D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.
6. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?
A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.
B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.
C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .
D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.
7. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.
A. browse the unofficial website of NASA
B. watch a video recorded by a flight center
C. stream a live show on Aug. 11 night
D. use special devices to connect with the shower

When the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to rely on others for food. The couple, who live on Pender Island in BritishColumbia, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.
Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. We were both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more motivation to see if we could look after ourselves.”
The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and studying online to figure out all the things we were going to need to do.”
Now after five months, they both feel its been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult. “The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all on the same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we
feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially ending in August.
8. Why did the pair decide to produce foods on their own?
A. They were isolated by Pender Island.
B. They couldn't afford to buy them because they were out of work.
C. They believed it's good for their health.
D. They could hardly buy them in shops.
9. Which words can be used to describe the couple?
A. Rich and generous.
B. Helpful and positive.
C. Optimistic and self-dependent.
D. Motivated and brave.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Their challenge may last about eleven months in total.
B. They were discouraged by the difficulty at first.
C. They had difficulty because they wanted more.
D. They couldn't adjust their bodies to the hard work after three weeks.
11. In which column may you read such a passage?
A. Sports.
B. Agriculture.
C. Lifestyle.
D. Business.

It’s a little before8 a.m. when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts. He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in. It’s the same routine he’s had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century. “It’s going to be a good day,” a colleague calls out. “It’s a good day.” They hug. It seems like a typical Friday. Except it’s not. After 23 years at Jenner Elementary, Schergen is retiring. Even on his last day, there are still art projects to finish.
Schergen leaves behind a richlegacyat this school. He’s won grants (拨款) for art projects. He turned an empty classroom into a museum. He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives. And he was awarded a Golden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in Chicago. But it wasn’t always easy. For years, Schergen taught in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods. “When I first got my room, I noticed there were bullet holes in the window. That made me nervous,” he says. So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of funny”. “I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year,” he says. “I didn’t want her to know.”
With one hour to go, Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor. He cleans out the sink for the last time. Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes, one of his best helpers, has watched him say goodbye all day. He wanders in the doorway. “Ah, come here, son,” Schergen says, signaling him over. He bends down for a hug. “Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”
When Deontae leaves, a reporter asks Schergen: When your kids ask why you’re retiring, what do you tell them? “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too,” he says. “I have other things in my life I have to do. It’s time. It’s just time.”
12. Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?
A. He was retiring on that day.
B. He won an honor for his school.
C. He was interviewed by a reporter.
D. He received a Golden Apple award.

C. Respect from students.
D. Change in teaching.

A. Safety concerns in the school.
B. The poorly-equipped classroom.
C. Being misunderstood by his family.
D. Students’ poor academic performance.
