黛西英文晨读

14  Shaped by culture 为什么中国宠物猫脸圆，美国宠物猫脸尖？Many users from the US joined Xiaohongshu in January, and Chinese users jokingly asked them to pay a “cat tax ” by sharing a photo of their cats. In return, Chinese users would send the pictures of their own cats. After looking at hundreds of cat photos, some people noticed something interesting: The cats posted by Chinese users were rounder than those shared by American users. But why? According to the website Furrbby, one key reason is the living environment. In China, many families live in high-rise apartments. To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them indoors. However, many American homes have larger living spaces and backyards, so cats can climb and play here and there. Cultural differences may also play a role, reported Inf News. In Chinese culture, roundness means unity and perfection, while Americans value an adventurous spirit. So they encourage their pets to run around and stay active. Family influence is another reason. “My parents always show their love by making delicious food for me, so I treat my cat the same way,” explained a Chinese user from Heilongjiang. The difference in cat body shapes between China and the US reflects cultural differences between the two countries. Whether they are a fit American cat or a round Chinese cat, as long as they are healthy, that’s what matters most. 1. jokingly:adv.开玩笑地2. tax: n.税3. in return  :作为回报4. notice : v.注意到5. living environment:生活环境6. high-rise apartment :高层公寓7. cultural differences：文化差异8. play a role：起某种作用9. unity：n.团结一致10. value ：v.重视11. adventurous spirit：冒险精神12.  treat：v.对待13. reflect：v.反映14. as long as ：只要15. matter：v.重要纸质版阅读练习答案:1.A  2.B  3.B  4.A  5.D别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

13 Brazil bans phones in classrooms -A new law limits smartphone use among students across the country巴西新规：课堂禁用手机For students in Brazil, the new semesterstarted off with stricter rules on the use of smartphones, AP reported. In January, the Brazilian government made a new law. Under this law, students cannot use phones in classrooms or hallways without the teacher’s permission . However, there are some special cases. Students with illness may need to use their phones. The law also lets schools decide where students should keep their phones. Lockers or special baskets can serve that purpose. Many people welcomed the law. In October 2024, a survey showed that almost two-thirds of Brazilians wanted to ban phones in schools. They believed phones do little good to children. Brazil is not the only country to have such rules. According to UNESCO, the culture body of the United Nations, by the end of 2024, 40 percent of schools around the world had rules on smartphone use. That marked a rise from 30 percent in 2023.1. ban: v.禁止2. limit  :v.限制3. start off: 开始、动身4. hallway:n.走廊 5. without the teacher’s permission  :未经老师的许可6. case：n.事件、案例7. locker：n.储物柜8. serve that purpose：达到目的9. do little good to ：对....几乎没有好处10. mark a rise：标志着上升纸质版阅读练习答案:1.A  2.C  3.A  4.A  5.C别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

It is a business that brings joy to young people through a lot of products and services. Ford has been working in this area since she was seven. Back then, she began a project called Arting for You. For this project, she collected art supplies and gave them to kids for free in foster care. “My grandma always wanted to give back” to others, Ford told Time for Kids. Two years later, Ford started her business. She got the idea from her own experience. One day, her friend was very sad and she tried to remind her of all the positivethings in her life. “I realized that I wanted to be everyone’s positive friend,” writes Ford on her business’s website. The business mixes art, clothes and positive messages. It offers many different kinds of products, including notebooks, bags and office supplies – all with encouraging words on them, such as “peace and love”, “I am one of a kind” and “dance from your heart”. Part of the money Ford makes goes to people in need. She also offers activities to help kids feel good about themselves. The classes focus on things like creative writing and how to start and run your own business.

10 How are your eggs? 完美鸡蛋怎么煮？这份攻略请查收！What’s the best way to boil an egg? Scientists in Italy think the answer is “periodic cooking”. In cooking, we often talk about two parts of the egg. One is the yolk and the other is the egg white. They have different nutrients and need different temperatures for cooking. So, it is difficult to cook both parts just right once and for all. Scientists first ran tests on a computer. They found that changing the water from hot to warm again and again was a good way. It may help the yolk and egg white reach their perfect temperatures at different times. Then, the scientists tried the new way on real eggs. They put the eggs in boiling water (100 ℃), and moved them to 30 ℃ water every two minutes. They kept doing this for 32 minutes, and then cooled the eggs under running water. The eggs tasted wonderful. The egg white was very soft and the yolk was creamy. 1. boil:v.煮2. periodic cooking: 周期性烹饪3. yolk  :n.蛋黄4. egg white : n.蛋白5. nutrient :n.营养6. once and for all : 一劳永逸地、彻底地7. run tests：运行测试8. boiling water：沸水、开水9. creamy ：adj.奶油色的纸质版阅读练习答案:1.B  2.B  3.B  4.C  5.C别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。 这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

06 Every penny counts 加拿大初中生体验“月光族”金钱大冒险Canadian students learn how to spend money wisely .On Nov 20, 2024, around 500 students from middle schools across Moose Jaw, Canada, took part in a fun event. They learned there how to be good with money. First, every student had to imagine they had a job. Then they got a card. It showed how much money they had. Next, they visited different booths to buy things. The prices were the same as in actual shops. This way, the students learned that their spending depended on their salary. The idea was to teach the students about real life and be smart with money. “They have to go out and use their budget smartly and make good decisions ,” said Heather Bergdahl from the local Chamber of Commerce office. Athan Schultz, is a student from Cornerstone Christian School, “It’s eye-opening to see how much money you spend each month,” he told Moose Jaw Today. “You think you actually have a lot of money, and then you realize you don’t.” 1. count：v.重要2. wisely:adv.智慧地3. event: n.事件，活动4. imagine  :v.想象5. booth : n.摊位，临时货摊6. depend on :依靠，依赖7. salary : n.薪水，工资8. budget ：n.预算9. eye-opening：adj.大开眼界的，令人惊奇的10. realize ：v.意识到纸质版阅读练习答案:1.A  2.D  3.B  4.B  5.A别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。 这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

05 Why do we get bored? 我们为什么无法忍受无聊？Feeling bored can also be a good chance for us to learn new things. These days many people spend hours looking at their phones. Why? A possible answer is that they just feel bored. Why don’t we like feeling bored? What is boredom? Boredom is a feeling. There are two types of boredom: meaningless and attentional. The first type happens when we don’t find meaning in our actions. The second type comes when people find it too difficult to focus on something. For example, students might say that “math is boring”. That is because it’s too difficult for them. Is boredom bad? Boredom is neither good nor bad . What matters is our attitude. For example, we may find a math problem boring. If we can’t deal with our feelings well, we might just give up and feel bad. But things change when we can control our feelings and try to solve the problem. Boredom can then become a good chance to learn new things. Are we more bored now? No, boredom is not a new thing. Over 2,000 years ago, people already felt bored. However, it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones. But because we’re always using them, we might be worse at dealing with boredom. 1. a good chance for us to:对我们来说是一个做...的好机会2. spend time doing : 花时间做...3. boredom :n.无聊4. meaningless and attentional : 无意义型和注意力型5. neither... nor... :既不，也不6. attitude : n.态度7. get away from：摆脱8. deal with：处理纸质版阅读练习答案:1.B  2.A  3.B  4.C  5.B别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。 这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

04 Know how to pick the right friends 中国智慧：成人之美We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed .” But should friends help us even when we’re making bad choices ? Confucius gives an answer to this question in The Analects of Confucius. What does it mean? Everyone has dreams and goals, and it is a great thing to have friends to stand by us. But you also need to know who is truly helping you. How can we tell what kind of person someone is? According to Confucius, just see what they encourage us to do. If they guide us toward good things, they are true friends. But if they like bad actions, then you shouldn’t trust them. We often have to find out if something is truly good for us. Some activities, like playing video games, may bring joy now but become a problem later. You might forget to do your homework or have bad habits. When you think about a friend’s influence on you, ask yourself: Do they help you become a better person? Or do they make you do bad things? 1. A friend in need is a friend indeed.:患难见真情。2. making choices: 做决定3. Confucius :孔子4. an answer to this question : ....的答案5. The Analects of Confucius:论语6. stand by sb : 支持...7. encourage sb. to do：鼓励...做...8. guide sb. toward：引导...朝着..前进9. become a problem ：成为一个问题10. an influence on：对...的影响纸质版阅读练习答案:1.A  2.B  3.A  4.B  5.B别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

But you also need to know who is truly helping you. How can we tell what kind of person someone is? According to Confucius, just see what they encourage us to do. If they guide us toward good things, they are true friends. But if they like bad actions, then you shouldn’t trust them. We often have to find out if something is truly good for us. Some activities, like playing video games, may bring joy now but become a problem later. You might forget to do your homework or have bad habits. When you think about a friend’s influence on you, ask yourself: Do they help you become a better person? Or do they make you do bad things? 1. A friend in need is a friend indeed.:患难见真情。2. making choices: 做决定3. Confucius :孔子4. an answer to this question : ....的答案5. The Analects of Confucius:论语6. stand by sb : 支持...7. encourage sb. to do：鼓励...做...8. guide sb. toward：引导...朝着..前进9. become a problem ：成为一个问题10. an influence on：对...的影响纸质版阅读练习答案:1.A  2.B  3.A  4.B  5.B别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

03 Dogs put on a good show 美国西敏寺犬展：如何选出最靓狗狗If you love dogs, you may know about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. It is one of the most popular dog competitions in the world. Judges look at the dogs and choose the best-looking ones. The show came back for its 149th year on Feb 8, 10 and 11 this year. The judges need to look closely at the dogs and know all about them. According to AP News, they need to know about 201 different kinds of dogs! Take a Pekingese for example. Donald Sturz, the club president, started by looking at its face and body. He checked to see if it had an “envelope-shaped ” head. “The head is a mark of the kind,” Sturz told AP News. He then checked her weight — this kind of dog should be “pick-up heavy”. After that, he watched how it walked. Pekingese dogs are known for their special, slow way of walking. Other kinds of dogs also have their “ideal” looks. For example, Labradors have special otter tails, and Dachshunds have sausage-like bodies.1. put on a good show:上演一出好戏2. judge: n.裁判3. look closely at : 仔细观察4. Pekingese : n.哈巴狗，京巴犬5. envelope-shaped:信封形状的6. mark : n.标志7. ideal：adj.理想的8. Labrador：n.拉布拉多9. otter ：n.水獭10. Dachshund：n.腊肠犬纸质版阅读练习答案:1.B  2.B  3.C  4.A  5.D别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

01 Egg crisis hits US美国闹“蛋荒”，鸡蛋变“天价”People don’t have enough eggs to buy due to bird flu. On Feb 18, a chicken stood next to a stack of eggs at Sunrise Farms in California, US. Right now, it’s expensive to buy eggs in the US as their price is at an all-time high. On Feb 7, a dozen eggs cost $7.34 (about 53 yuan). In 2024, the price was about 4.15 dollars. The rise in egg prices is mostly because of bird flu . This type of flu is caused by a virus. It can make birds very sick. To stop the flu, farms across the US have to kill a lot of birds, including chickens. In January alone, workers put down over 23 million of them. What’s more, farms also need time to clean the chickens’ houses and raise new chickens. Many supermarkets have no eggs to sell because they don’t get them on time. 1. crisis: n.危机2. hit: v. 打击3. due to  : 由于4. bird flu: 禽流感5. a stack of : 一叠6. price: n.价格7. at an all-time high :处于历史最高水平8. virus :n.病毒9. put down :本文中意为-拿下,击杀10. What’s more :表转折，而且11. raise：v.养育纸质版阅读练习答案:1.B  2.B  3.B  4.A 、B  5.B别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。 这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

100Eight new emojis coming Crying with laughter, astonished or starstruck, you can use emojis for pretty much any vibe that you want to convey. Currently, there are over 3,700 emojis, all of which are approved by the Unicode Consortium – an official group that decides on new emojis – however, eight new emojis could be hitting phone screens in 2025. **EMOJI CRAZE** Between 2012 and 2013 emojis became so popular that in August 2013, the word was added to the Oxford English Dictionary. The proposed emojis are: a tired face with bags under the eyes, a human fingerprint, a paint splatter, a root vegetable, a leafless tree, a harp, a shovel and the flag of Sark (one of the Channel Islands). If they are approved by the Unicode Consortium in September, it will be the smallest group of emojis to be approved since emojis were invented in 1999.1. emoji n.(微信)小表情2. crying with laughter: （表情包）哭笑不得，笑出眼泪3. astonished: adj.惊讶的4. starstruck:n.（表情包）星星眼5. vibe : n.气氛，6. be approved by：被...批准7. decides on:决定采取....8. so +形容词 +that:如此...以至于...9. be added to：被添加进..10. proposed:adj.被提议的11. fingerprint:n.指纹12. splatter:v.飞溅13. since conj.自从纸质版阅读练习答案:1. B  2. B  3.B  4.C  5. D别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

99Chimpanzees chat just like humansScientists know that chimpanzees are a lot like humans – we both have a common ancestor and share about 98.6% of our DNA (a special chemical that tells your body how to grow and develop). Now, researchers studying chimpanzees have found that we are alike in other ways, too. Chimpanzees like to have “conversations” with each other and, when they are “talking”, they wait for the other chimp to finish. Cat Hobaiter and her colleagues, from Scotland’s University of St Andrews, looked at thousands of wild chimpanzees interacting and found that they chatted to each other using gestures, such as hand movements, and facial expressions. They also had “polite” conversations where they waited for the other chimp to finish, but sometimes they butted in, just like humans do. Hobaiter’s team also found that apes take around 120 milliseconds (a thousandth of a second) to respond, compared with 200 for humans. “It’s amazing to see how close the chimpanzees and human timings were,” she said.1. chimpanzee n.大猩猩2. common: adj.常见的，普通的， 共有的3. ancestor: n.祖先4. chemical:n.化学制品5. develop: v.发展6. alike：adj.相似的7. colleague:n.同事8. interact: v.互动9. gesture：n.手势，姿势10. facial expression:面部表情11. butt in:中断对话（在对话中粗鲁的插嘴）12. respond:v.回应，做出反应13. human timing‌指人类在时间感知和行为反应上的能力纸质版阅读练习答案:1. B  2. C  3.B  4.C  5. C别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

97 Which volcano had the loudest eruption?Volcanoes are where melted rock bursts out of Earth’s solid surface as lava. The low rumbling sounds a volcano makes are caused by molten rock building up pressure underground. However, the loud explosion heard when a volcano erupts is caused by jets of hot gases – previously dissolved in the molten rock – exploding out of the volcano, together with clouds of rock and ash. The loudest volcanic noise was the 1883 eruption of Mount Krakatoa, in Indonesia. It was 310 decibels – 100 decibels louder than a rocket launch – and was heard by people 3,000 miles away.

96 Why do fruits have seeds?A seed is simply how a plant grows a new baby plant. A big problem plants have is that they can’t move – fruits are simply one way they have evolved to spread their seeds far and wide. Fruits are eaten by animals who later deposit the seeds somewhere new when they have a poo, which also means there’s some handy and nutritious fertiliser to help the seeds grow. Fruits have evolved to have bright colours and strong smells to send a clear message to any hungry animal – tuck in!

95 Facts for the digesting of the fish-eating birdsHow do fish - eating birds swallow and digest whole fish with all the organs and bones? Alexandra Birds’ ancestors were dinosaurs, and what are now wings started out as arms millions of years ago. Wings are great for flying, but not so useful for eating. Many birds like ospreys and eagles use their sharp talons to rip food into small pieces, but many fish - eating birds, such as herons, often have their long legs in deep water. This means they can only rely on their beak to catch and eat food. The first step to safely eating a fish whole is to swallow it head - first. This allows it to slip down easily without the backward - pointing scales or fins poking into the side of the oesophagus (the food pipe linking the mouth to the stomach). Birds flip the fish around, being very careful to swallow it correctly. Fish - eating birds have two stomachs to help digest whole fish. The first stomach is filled with strong acid, which breaks down scales and bones. Food then moves into the second stomach, where it is broken down into small pieces and digested as usual. Food stored in the first stomach is also ready to be vomited up for the bird’s children to eat. 1. digest v.消化2. swallow: v.吞下3. ancestor :n.祖先4. start out as  ：最初是...5. osprey:n.鱼鹰6. talon：爪子7. rely on：依靠8. whole:adv.完整地，整个地9. backward - pointing scales：向后生长的鱼鳞10. poke into:戳进11. oesophagus : n.食道12. acid：n.酸13. break out : 分解14. store：v.储存15. vomit up ：呕吐纸质版阅读练习答案:1. D  2. C  3.B  4.C  5. D别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。

94 Why do we feel fear and why does breathing help?   What you feel as fear is called your fight - or - flight response. Basically, you feel your body getting ready to confront danger head on, or run away to safety. This reaction – a faster heartbeat and breathing, and your hairs standing on end – is not under your control. Instead, it happens automatically. Many other mammals, from monkeys and elephants to our pet dogs and cats share this response. It helps wild animals survive risky situations. Although humans live less dangerous lives, the fight - or - flight reaction should remind you how closely related we are to our wild animal ancestors. Although it is automatic, you can manage the fear response. Breathing slowly helps reduce feelings of panic, because you are focused on controlling your body systems and bringing your body back to its usual relaxed state.  1. breathe v.呼吸2. fight - or - flight response: 战斗或逃跑反应3. basically :adv.基本上4. confront danger  ：直面危险5. head on:迎面6. run away：逃跑7. safety：n.安全8. stand on end: 竖立起来9. under your control：在你的控制之下10. automatically：adv.自动地11. survive risky situations: 在危险的情况下生存12. less：adj.更少的13. be related to : 和...有关14. ancestor：n.祖先15. manage ：v.管理16. panic:n.恐慌17. relaxed state:放松的状态纸质版阅读练习答案:1. B  2. B  3.C  4.B  5. D别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。
