13．How to Protect Yourself and Others from COVID﹣19?
Know how it spreads

●Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Stay away from crowds
●Stay away from people who are sick.

14．　　Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country road in their free time.
　　In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
　　Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

15．　　Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything一tutors(家庭教师), cards, special learning centers﹣﹣in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的)school.
　　After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.
　　Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity(好奇心). She went to his room and asked, "Son, what was it?Was it the nuns(修女)?"
　　Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, "No. "
　　"Well then, "she asked again. "WHAT was it?"
　　Little Tommy looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed(钉)to the plus sign(加号), I knew they weren't joking. "

16．　　People often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.
　　The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as﹣30°F.
　　Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
　　There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈)on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems:very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.
　　People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called"leads". Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
