Haley Evans loves books very much. When she was little, she made a family newspaper with her mother. In the third grade, she worked with an organization to collect around 2,000 books for children. In total, she has donated（捐赠）about 8,000 books so far.
On March 30, the middle school student from the United States made another amazing project again. She opened a Free Little Library in Oakland University with her Girl Scout friend Megan MacKenzie.
Free Little Library is not a new idea. It is where people decorate（装饰）a box outside their house and fill it with books. People can take or leave the books they want. They are welcome to donate books as well. It is becoming popular in western countries.
Haley came up with the idea after reading a piece of news. In Detroit, US, people make Free Little Libraries for kids who don’t have enough money to buy books.
Megan is proud of their project. She told the Oakland Post, “I like the idea because I never got to read so much when I was a kid. And it really encourages reading, so hopefully kids can grow up with a really big vocabulary and get more interested inreading.”

When I walk down the street in Beijing during the summer, I often find it quite difficult to get where I’m going. Why? Because of all the umbrellas in my way.
Before I came to China, I’d never seen people carrying umbrellas on sunny days. But in China, women carry umbrellas when it’s not raining. What is the purpose, I wondered?
I found that there are many reasons for this. Firstly, it protects people from the sun’s rays（光线）. Many Chinese cities get hot in the summer. People sometimes carry umbrellas to stay cool. But wait a second. If umbrellas can help us stay cool, why don’t I ever see men carrying them?
That brings us to the second reason－blocking the sun helps women’s skin stay pale（白皙的）. In China, pale white skin is considered to be more beautiful than tanned（晒成棕褐色的）skin. Cosmetics（化妆品）companies even sell special creams and powders（香粉）to make your skin look whiter.
Women in the US, on the other hand, actually prefer to be tan. It’s considered more beautiful there. Some people will lie outdoors in the sun for hours to get a tan. But doing this too much can be dangerous, as the sun’s rays are bad for your skin.
And as it turns out, China isn’t the only place where women carry umbrellas during the summer. Women in Greece are also known to carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. So there you have it–umbrellas aren’t just for rainy days. Although I don’t think I’m going to start carrying one anytime soon.

B. the author can’t remember how to gethome C. people sell umbrellas on the streets ofBeijing D. umbrellas often stop the author’sway

A.Strange. B.Nervous. C. Excited. D. Scared. 25. Why do Chinese women like carrying umbrellas on sunny days, according to thewriter?
A. Because the weather in China changesquickly. B. Because there are many extraumbrellas.
C. Because it can help them stay cool and keep their skinpale. D. Because it can help Chinese women use lesscosmetics. 26. What can we learn from thepassage?
A. Tanned skin is considered unhealthy in theUS. B. China has hotter summers than othercountries. C. Carrying umbrellas is a tradition for men inGreece. D. The author may not use umbrellas on sunnydays.

Imagine getting the chance to go camping for five days. It would be an adventure（冒险）in the wild. You could row on a lake every day and leave your smartphone at home. Would you want to try this?
