1．　　A river is a flowing(流动的), moving stream of water. Usually a river provides water for an ocean, lake, pond, or even another river. Rivers can differ in size and there is no strict rule on how big a flow of water must be. Here are the five longest rivers in the world.

　　There are 76 rivers in the world over 1, 000 miles long. A lot of people think that rivers always flow south, but 4 of the 10 longest rivers in the world flow north. The United States alone has around 3. 5 million miles of rivers. Four of the top 10 longest rivers flow through China sometime.

2．　　Spending almost a full day in the car with a 70﹣year﹣old woman could be boring. However, for a 15﹣year﹣old girl, it was a great memory for many reasons. During the trip, we discussed something we had wondered about in life. And I learned a lot I had never expected to.
　　I learned that we shouldn't take ourselves seriously and not everyone has to get "old and boring". She is probably one of the coolest, funniest and most down﹣to﹣earth people I've ever met. In boring moments, she never fails to tell one of her famous jokes. But when you need a shoulder to cry on, she is there to comfort you. She taught me that "Laughter is the best medicine".
　　She never brings her phone, and she is okay with it. That hasn't stopped her from shopping and talking with her family online.
　　From now on, I plan on accepting the fact that I don't need to stay connected with social media(社交媒体)all the time. Even though I don't use a mobile phone, I can also be better at communicating with people.
There are so many things you can learn from someone older and wiser than you. You don't need to ask for advice, just slow down and enjoy the conversation. You'll be surprised at how amazing it is.

3．　　Everyone knows that Spain is home to some crazy festivals. From throwing tomatoes at one another to burning dolls made of cardboard, wood or plastic, the Spanish festivals are quite amazing. You may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival, but it is full of fun, too.
　　The wine festival is actually a battle(战斗)of the wine, held from the 28th to the 30th of June each year in Haro﹣﹣one of the most important wine﹣producing towns in northern Spain. The Haro Wine Festival was only called as a festival of both national and touristic interest in 1965, but its origins(起源) could go back much further in the early part of the 13th century. At that time, Haro had a land dispute(纠纷) with its neighbor in a nearby region. One day, people from the two sides started throwing wine at each other to solve the dispute. That day the tradition started and got the name "War of Wine".
　　During the festival, the wine fight begins early in the morning on the outskirts(郊区)of Haro. People are armed with buckets, water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they pour the wine onto their friends or strangers. Everyone is supposed to wear a white shirt during the "fight", because it is easily stained(染色). The"fight" will last for several hours until everyone's shirt becomes bright purple. They will then return to the center of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks.
　　Each year, thousands of people, locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe you can become a member of them one day. The only problem is that you will smell like wine for days after the"fight"!

4．　　Many of us read news every day. (1)      Today we can get news from TV or the Internet, but how did ancient people get news?

　　Now we get news in seconds from all over the world. We can become some kind of reporters by posting online what happens around us.
