It was the first time I met a seal(海豹), the most mysterious(神秘的)animal for me in the world. I jumped into the cold water to take a closer look. Immediately, she swam toward me and tried to threaten me by putting my camera and much of my head into her mouth. I tried not to show any fear. After a few seconds, she let go of my head and swam away.
Then she came back with a live penguin. The penguin was for me. Of course, I didn’t eat the penguin, and I think the seal was very disappointed. The seal thought I was just another seal, I realized. One most important thing in a seal’s life is eating. So perhaps this seal was worried about me. She didn’t want me to go hungry. She brought me some more penguins. She even tried to show me how to eat them. The seal tried to push penguins into my camera because she thought the camera was my mouth!
I understood that she was trying to feed me. But I think that she was really trying to communicate with me. By now, she didn’t seem very dangerous. She stayed by me and tried to feed me for four days. One time, she noticed another seal come up behind me. She made a deep, warning sound and scared the other seal away. She then took that seal’s penguin and gave it to me.
Those four days were the most unbelievable experience I ever had as a wildlife photographer, because I got some amazing pictures. I also learned that animals do not always behave the way we expect. My relationship with this powerful and smart animal will stay with me forever.

What will the cars of tomorrow be like?
Little cars may some day take the place of today’s big cars. If everyone drives little cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three little cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.
The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too. What is more, these little cars can go about 65 kilometers per hour.
Little cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for long trips. If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future.

During COVID-19, we have prepared a back-to-school guide for parents to check. Join us to prepare for your kid’s back-to-school life together!
| The COVID-19 is still spreading. If your kids go to school alone and do not go home in time after school, that’s probably because they play games or hang out with friends after school. Parents will certainly worry that their kids might be going to a dangerous place. So parents should ask their kids to get home at a regular time and never go to dangerous places. |
| The digital world is so interesting that kids can easily be attracted by games, videos, e-books, social interactions(互动) and so on. Once it is out of control, the kids will easily lose themselves in it. Kids aged 8—18 spend a lot of time on screen nowadays, and this is one of the reasons why they’re short-sighted, sleepy and fat. So parents should limit(限制) the screen time available to kids. |
| If your kid is often in a bad mood(情绪), stays in the room most of the time and has no interest in social activities, you must pay more attention to him or her. If these signs have appeared, they are likely to be lonely at school or come across sad things such as bullying(欺凌). They need the care then. So parents should keep an eye on their kid’s behavior, and give love and care in time. |
| A．Students. | B．Teachers. | C．Parents. | D．Schools. |
| A．health | B．safety | C．study | D．mood |
