26、Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend in the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest, be generous, be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose the friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to friends. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be the first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you want a good friendship, you must practise honesty, generosity and understanding.

27、In the past, people could only find information from books and their teachers. For serious students, it was dream to hear lectures from professors at top universities. The Internet has changed this situation completely. Online courses offer people around the world access to global resources.
On November 2, the Ministry of Education announced that, as of August 2019, about 270 million Chinese people had taken Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) — one of the platforms for distance education. “It means high-quality, low-cost and large-scale online learning has become the norm. A higher education revolution is spreading worldwide,” Gao Song, vice president of Peking University, told Xinhua.
First introduced in 2006, MOOCs emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012. Since then, top universities around the world, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, have offered MOOCs on different platforms.
According to China Daily, China has now built an extensive@ MOOC network, offering around 15,000 courses in variety of disciplines. Subjects range from physics and chemistry to Chinese traditional culture. “The wide variety of courses they offer is like a buffet, where you can pick whatever interests you, and that's why I use MOOCs very often,” said Wang Kerui, a freshman at Beijing Normal University.
The course Introducing China in English, from Hubei University, for example, provides participants with a wide range of areas, including Chinese philosophy, traditional festivals and foods that best define Chinese culture. One foreign learner left a review online: "The course helps me learn more about Chinese culture.”
The interactive and flexible learning also keeps students coming back. Unlike traditional courses, students don't need to be simply satisfied with what the teacher has taught or busily take notes of all the key points in the class. They could even learn something new or review what they learned in their spare time.

28、Even without a psychology (心理学) degree, Bella’s natural talents made her an excellent therapist (治疗师): She is calm and has the patience to listen to endless questions. From the Mountain Horse Farm in the Finger Lakes region of New York, 3-year-old Bella and 2-year-old Bonne provide animal-based therapy in a bed-and-breakfast (民宿).
Cow hugging is a practice known as inviting people to interact with farm animals by brushing, petting or having heartfelt conversation with the animals. The cows lie down in the grass, allowing humans to join them on the ground and offering a warm hug.
The bed-and-breakfast is owned by Suzanne and Rudi Vullers. The pair came across “cow hugging” in Netherlands, on a return visit to their homeland in 2018. In parts of the country, cow hugs are offered as part of a half-day visit as part of a larger movement to connect people to country life. So in May, they bought Bella and Bonnie for their gentle personalities and the lack of horns (牛角). “A lot of cows are not suited for it,” Mr. Vullers said. “They can drive you out of the field.”
On a recent Saturday, a mother and daughter from New York, had come to hug some cows. For the mother, 57, it was a wish coming true, a reminder of fond memories of visiting her grandmother’s farm. Leading the two excited women onto the field, Ms. Vullers offered guidance on a successful approach before showing the methods herself. “Round the body! That appears less harmless. Walk up to the cow’s shoulders rather than its haunches (臀胯部).”
“Clothing is important,” said Mr. Vullers. “They might spit (吐口水) on you.” “Respect them and their world and what they want to do and what they want to give you,” Suzanne added. “Remain calm. The more relaxed you are, the better it will be for you and them,” she said.
For the final surprise of the day, the farmers invited the visitors to hand - feed the cows, which many participants described as their favorite activity.

29、Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, but it also causes pollution, wastes energy, and surprisingly wastes water. Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.
It’s a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either get rid of the membrane(薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. It’s completely insipid so you needn’t worry about any taste.
It aims for large outdoor events where tons of plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. Too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for the purpose of such a new invention.
The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials that are needed to produce Ooho. The price for an only bubble (泡状物) or a unit of bubbles hasn’t been decided yet, but it costs about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. The team has also been selling Ooho water bottles in London for the past six months.
Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $1 million in only three days. It’s mostly being sold at events at the moment to interest the buyers while the production machine is getting up and running. It’s quickly making a rise, so keeping an eye out for these bottles of the future.

B.It has some advantages over plastic bottles.
