adventure, its only 85 degrees. were not going to suffer, but the three kids complain anyway.theyve grown up in 72-degree comfort, protected from the world outside.“how do you open these windows?” my husband asks. shaking the metal ribs(插销), he finally releases one. bug bodies decorate the window shelf. as we spring the windows one by one, the night noises howl outside-and in.“its too hot to sleep,” my 13-year-old daughter complains. “im about to die from this heat,” her brother complains down the hall. “just try it tonight,” i tell them. in truth im too tired to argue for long. my face is sweaty, but i lie quietly listening to the cricket choirs(合唱) outside that remind me of childhood.the neighbors dog howls. probably a passing squirrel. its been years since ive taken the time to really listen to the night.i think about grandma, who lived to 92 and still helped with my moms gardening until just a few weeks before she died. and then, im back there at her house in the summer heat of my childhood. i move my pillow to the foot of grandmas bed and angle my face toward the open window. i turn the pillow, hunting for the cooler side.grandma sees me turn over and over. “if youll just watch for the breeze(清风),” she says,“youll cool off and fall asleep.” she cranks up the venetian blinds(百叶窗). i stare at the filmy white curtain, willing it to move. lying still, waiting, i suddenly notice the life outside the window. the bug chorus. neighbors, porch-sitting late, speak in unclear words that calm me.“mom, did you hear that?” my seven-year-old son cries. “i think it was an owl family.” “probably,” i tell him. “just keep listening”without the working air conditioner, the house is oddly peaceful, and the unfiltered(未过滤的) night noises seem close enough to touch. i hope im awake tonight when the first breeze sneaks in.21what is the point the writer wants to make in the passage?a. we should learn to save electricity.b. a peaceful mind is important in modern life.c. we

the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. this custom is also followed by some other asian countries, such as japan and vietnam.other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. in mexico and spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. but in mongolia, it is dogs that take childrens teeth away. dogs are highly respected in mongolian culture. it is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in mongolia will put their childrens fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.in france and the usa, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. it is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the tooth fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. what she will leave is hard to know. it is said that in france the tooth fairy may leave some candies; however, in the

flag which was set near the bow of a sailing ship. the flag showed the country to which the ship belonged. the union jack became the flag of great britain. australias flag has the union jack in the top left hand corner together with the stars of the southern cross. they have kept this small part of britain on their flag because their country was first settled by people from britain.australias flag is the same color as the union jackred, white and blue. the act of joining together is called a “union”. the union jack was the name of the flag made when england, scotland and ireland joined

“patron” means protector. many centuries before the english had taken st george as their patron saint, his emblem (标志) was a red cross on a white background. the scottish patron saint was st andrew. in memory of him, they used a white cross on a blue background. this cross was shaped like the letter “x”. the new flag was a mixture of both flags with two sets of crosses. when ireland joined england and scotland in 1800, another cross was added. st patrichs cross of ireland was red and also shaped like an “x”. all three flags now made up the union jack.29the union jack is a kind of _ and
