One day, on the eve of an important game, he visited his favourite fortune-teller, as usual. The fortune-teller studied his hand and then said, "I see a man wearing a white coat. " And you are lying on a stretcher(担架). " This really worried Bill. He decided not to risk (冒险) it. He was afraid to get injured (受伤). The captain of Bill’s team was not happy when he told him that he was not going to play. Bill was one of the best players on the team. However, there was nothing he could say to make Bill change his mind.
Bill also decided not to watch the game, but to go to the hospital and visited one of the other players who had been badly injured a few weeks before.

Can trees talk? Yes-but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do
communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree(柳树) attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. The even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapor-a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be always in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending messages?
60. When attacked, a window tree will protect itself by ________.
A. changing its leaves’ chemistry B. changing its leaves’ colour
C. talking to caterpillars D. sending out a special vapour
61. From the passage we know that caterpillars _________.
A. like willow trees B. enjoy eating fallen leaves
C. feed on willow tree leaves D. could communicate with willow trees
62. Caterpillars will stop eating willow trees leaves which __________ .
A. have a chemical change and become tasteless B. have a pleasant taste
C. are being attacked D. are communicating
63. According to the passage, how do willow trees communicate with each other ?
A. They talk in words. B. They send out a special vapour.
C. They wave their leaves. D. they make special sounds.

Find books in subway
Imagine this. Somebody hides free books in the subway for you and dread. Sound exciting? Well, British actress Emma Watson, 26, is doing it! She is known for acting as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies.
Watson hid 100 copies of a book called Mom & Me & Mom (2019) in London’s subway. The book is an autobiography (自传) from US writer Maya Angelou. It tells about the writer’s relationship with her mother. These books were put in different places in the subway. People saw Watson doing the same thing in the New York Subway this month.
With each book, there is a handwritten note by Watson. She asked people to “take special care” of the books if they find them. She also wrote that “when you are finished, please leave it on the subway again for someone else to find”.
Watson’s work is part of a movement called Books on the Underground. It calls on people to leave their books on the subway so other people can enjoy them too.
Hollie Belton, a woman in London, started the movement in 2019. She loves reading on the subway. She noticed that a lot of people shared her habit so she got the idea. Over the years, Belton has left over 2,000 books of her own. The movement has attracted more and more people.
Watson is a book lover as well. That’s why she tried it. Earlier this year, Watson set up her own online book club Our Shared Shelf. She reads a book every month with others. Mom & Me & Mom is the club’s book for November.

The friendship between humans and dogs possibly began 14,000 years ago. Here are four examples of “a dog’s life” in the human world today.
Treated like a queen.
Tiffy is one of these dogs. Her owner, Nancy lane Loewy, treats her like a queen. She
patiently prepares Tiffy's meals of meat, fish, chicken and different kinds of fresh vegetables. Tiffy also eats yoghurt and biscuits after dinner. Loewy's husband has a very good job and her two sons are away at university, so she has the time and money to treat Tiffy very well, and she truly enjoys doing it. "I want to give her the healthiest, most wonderful life as long as possible," she says.
Food snitTer dogs (嗅探犬)
Food sniffer dogs work at international airports in the United States. Their job is to smell and find illegal (不合法的) fruits, vegetables and other foods in bags and mail.
