Kids generally like Labor Day because they’re off school. But do they know what they’re celebrating every first Monday in September? Sure, we can explain how it’s the holiday devoted to American workers. However, there might be a better way to teach them about it with these ideas.
Write thank-you letters
Labor Day celebrates the labor movement and workers here in our great country. Even little ones can thank our nation’s hardest workers during this holiday weekend. Help your child write a thank-you card to a worker they admire and then deliver it by hand or by mail.
Have a sing-along with friends
Rally （召集） the kids and lead them in an epic American sing-along to celebrate our country and its amazing workers. Be sure to have a loud speaker on hand and print out words for the children to follow along. Don’t be alarmed if the gathering turns into a completely developed dance party!
Make footprint vehicles
Ask the kids to think of some of the vehicles our nation’s workers use to do their jobs. Paint the bottom of your child’s foot with washable paint and help them make a footprint on a piece of paper. Give them markers to help them turn their footprint into their favorite worker vehicle. So cute!
Create a career mobile
Buy or make a hanging photo mobile, and have the kids add photos of American workers. Ask the children what they want to be when they grow up — place their dream career in the center and hang others off to the sides.

As a housewife, I had Kransky, our dog, for almost two years. One day when I was calling my mum, Kransky was sniffing a mole （痣） on my right leg with his wet nose over and over. I kept laughing and told mum about it. After hearing my explanation, her tone changed. "There's been research on pets being able to discover illness," she replied. "Please, book in a skin check."
But then I just care little about it and didn't do anything. When she followed up a couple of times though, I made an appointment with my doctor. On seeing the mole on my leg, the doctor insisted it be removed immediately. I was surprised by his seriousness and had the mole removed on the spot. A few days later, the doctor's office told me that I had a cancerous melanoma （黑色素瘤） and gave me details of a surgeon who would remove it. I made the arrangements and quickly hung up. Tears flowed as anger filled my body. “You've left it too late,” I spoke angrily to myself.
My surgery was set for eight weeks' time, and Kransky was by my side through it all. After the surgery, a doctor advised me to have regular skin checks every three months for years. Thankfully, this meant no chemotherapy （化疗） or radiation. And I often think if Kransky hadn't found it out, my situation would have been so much worse.
Now, I'm sharing my story to remind others to get skin checks regularly. Not everyone has an angel like Kransky to point out when something's wrong.

A. To see a doctor. B. To take a skin care.

For Wang Pengfei and Tian Xiaowei, Central Academy of Drama graduates, William Shakespeare's works were a must-read during their college days. After graduation, they have been working together on Chinese plays with Wang as a producer and Tian as a director.
In 2020, after the coronavirus pandemic （疫情） hit, Tian considered creating a play. Since most of his works were based on classic works, Tian decided to write an original play. This turned out to be a three-hour-long play, titled Will, exploring the life story of Shakespeare.
"When we researched Shakespeare's own life story, we found that we shared lots of experiences and emotions with him." says Wang when asked about the inspiration. Tian agrees： "We share the passion for theater. We face problems after we left school, such as looking for job opportunities to make ends meet, and struggling between reality and dreams. We see ourselves through this play, Will."
With four actors and actresses playing more than 30 roles, the play follows the man, Will, who, at the age of 5, entered the theater of Stratford City Hall by accident and became attached to it. Before adulthood, he went to London to seek his theater dream and launched his career, which brought him fortune and fame （名声）. Then in his later years, he returned to Stratford, his hometown and stayed there until his death.
Premiered（首映）on July 22, the play was staged in Beijing and Shenzhen and was warmly received by both audiences and critics. In 2022, it will start a new round of shows in Beijing in April and July and is expected to be watched by about 13,000.
When asked about the feeling, Wang says, "Both Tian and I felt like returning to our school days when we fully devoted into creating plays and were not distracted. It felt great."

28. What do we know about Tian?

C. He has teamed up with Wang. D. He has served as a producer.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. What made them create Will. B. How they drafted Will.
C. The necessity of watching Will. D. The introduction to Will.
30. How does the author develop the play?
A. By making a comparison. B. By following the time order.
C. By giving various examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Bringing Shakespeare to life. B. Shakespeare's influence on China.
C. The popularity of Shakespeare. D. Saying hello to Shakespeare.

Masses of ocean plastic are providing artificial habitat （栖息地） for otherwise coastal species, according to a new study published in Nature Communications. The study’s authors observed floating water bottles, old toothbrushes and waste fishing nets. The possibility exists that species may be evolving to better adapt to life on plastic.
A decade ago, marine researchers believed coastal species could not survive a trip across the inhospitable open ocean. Yet Japan’s 2011 tsunami （海啸）, which sent some 300 species of Asian marine life riding floating plastic garbage onto North American shores, disproved that assumption.
Ocean plastic is “creating opportunities for coastal species’ biogeography to greatly expand beyond what we previously thought was possible”, Linsey Haram, a researcher and co-author of the study, said in a report.
The concept of species-covered plastic may sound like the story of ocean species’ victory in spite of human pollution. But that’s not quite the case, explains Juan José Alava, PhD, an expert at the University of British Columbia. In addition to transporting non-native species to new habitats where they may become invasive and destructive, the plastic is “basically an ecological trap” says Alava, “That’s because small species on the floating structure may attract bigger animals to come for food. When these creatures enter garbage areas for food, they run a high risk of eating and/or becoming caught in plastic and dying.”
While scientists have found some types of bacteria（细菌） are able to break down plastic, thereby cleaning up garbage, it’s unlikely that the marine animals will have any such effect. “The 2021 UN report was clear that the increasing plastic pollution is putting the health of all the world’s oceans and seas at risk,” says Alava.

32. What does the underlined word “inhospitable” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Easy-to-spot. B. Up-to-standard. C. Down-to-earth. D. Hard-to-stay.
33. What effect would ocean plastic have on coastal species according to Linsey?
A. Putting them at greater risk.
B. Causing them to grow bigger.
C. Enabling them to live in new habitats.
D. Freeing them from getting endangered.
34. What does Alava think of ocean plastic in Paragraph 4?
A. It increases some creatures’ curiosity.
B. It causes damage to all marine species.
C. It creates habitats for larger creatures.
D. It leads to the death of some creatures.
35. What would the author most probably agree with?
A. Ocean plastic must be dealt with.
B. It’s OK to throw plastic into the ocean.
C. Marine life may adapt to ocean plastic.
D. Ocean plastic may be cleaned up soon.

Reading is an important part of learning English, but many students find it difficult. This collection of tips can be of great help to you.
Read for the main ideas
Read the text a first time to understand the main idea, and don't look up new words. 36
Use Context
Context refers to words and situations around a word you don't understand. Look at the example sentence：
I went to the shlumping to buy some chitla for dinner.
What's 'schlumping'? - It must be a store because you bought something there.
What's 'chitia'? - 37
Use Your Own Language
Ask yourself this question： Do I read every word in my own language when I am reading a schedule, or summary?
38 Reading in English is like reading in your native language. It is not always necessary to read and understand every word in English.
Understand Different Reading Skills
Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading.
39 Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. 40 Run your eyes over the text for the specific piece of information. Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a subject, including reading longer texts for pleasure. Intensive reading is used on shorter texts to get specific information, including close accurate reading for detail.
You can use these reading skills to improve other areas of English learning, such as pronunciation, grammar and increasing vocabulary.
A. The answer is most definitely： No!
B. You may not be so sure about the answer.
C. You can usually understand the general idea.
D. Skimming is used to quickly gather the main idea.
E. It must be food because you are going to eat it for dinner.
F. Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information.
G. Words you don’t know may contain important information.

Last week I visited a small village to see the brown bears, what come to the villages at night to look at food. I waited with some tourist. As it grew dark, we see the huge black shapes of the bears. Those clever bears knew where to go for its dinner： the rubbish where there was lots of food people have thrown away. Although it’s wonderful to see the bears in the village, but it can only mean one thing： their habitat is disappearing. They would prefer to stay hiding in the mountain forests, but the trees have cut down for firewood. However, they cannot find enough food any more.
