Do you have female friends whom you refer as “guimi”? If you are a girl and an answer is yes, you are a lucky dog. “Guimi” is not only used among girls. It refers to your more loyal girl friends. You had special emotional connections with each other. You share almost everything about each other and you keep each other companies whenever one of you is down. In English, the word with the same meaning is “BFF”, that stands by “best friend forever”, or “bestie”. Either one describes your best female friend. But if you want to say that a boy is your closely friend, you should use “bromeo”, which is made up of “bro” and “Romeo”.

Tips for Great Language Exchanges
● What to ask yourself
The first step is to ask yourself some important questions. The most important question to ask yourself is why you want to learn the language. 1.
● Find the right partner
There are hundreds of partners to choose from in the language you want to learn. 2. When reading profiles, look for some important signs. People who have been on the site and have been active are much more likely to be good partners than those who have been on the site for a week and don't really have their profile filled out and haven't been active. Another thing to keep in mind is that it is better to find at least two exchange partners. 3.
● State your expectations
4. Expressing expectations in advance will give the partnership a higher chance of going well. Avoid being too strict. For example, if you're hoping for Wednesday nights every week, you'll have better luck if you state other times that also could work for you.
● 5.
Before each meeting, prepare some questions on a topic of your choice. That will give you the chance to look up related words as well as think about your own answers. Preparing topics ahead of time will also help you avoid having nothing to say at your meetings. Otherwise, you'll find that you keep talking about the same things at every meeting, which you want to avoid.
A.Get fully prepared.
B.Avoid having nothing to express.
C.Some of them may give you a hand.
D.So how can you find the right partner?
E.People lead busy lives and one person may not be available every week.
F.Another question to ask yourself is how much free time you really have.
G.Once you find a person who seems like a good fit, be clear about what your expectations are.
As millions of people move indoors to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the World Health Organization suggested that governments should restrict access to alcohol during lockdowns.
Drinking alcohol can affect peoples' immune systems and make them more vulnerable to the bad health effects of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to WHO. Alcohol use is also associated with diseases and mental health disorders that can make a person more likely to contract COVID-19.
"At times of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, alcohol consumption can worsen the health vulnerability, risk-taking behaviours, mental health issues and violence," WHO noted in a press release.
The organization encouraged governments to "enforce measures which limit alcohol consumption."
In the US, alcohol sales increased 55% over a one-week span last month, according to market research firm Nielsen.
Excessive drinking can cause alcohol poisoning and increase the risk of violence among intimate partners.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned earlier this month that stay-at-home orders and self-quarantining will likely lead to more home violence.
"Women in abusive relationships are more likely to be exposed to violence, as are their children, as family members spend more time in close contact, and families cope with additional stress and potential economic or job losses," Tedros said.
The guidance issued last week came from WHO's European regional entity. The area has the highest alcohol intake in the world, and roughly 1 million deaths are caused by alcohol every year there.
"Alcohol is consumed in excessive quantities in the European Region, and leaves too many victims. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we should really ask ourselves what risks we are taking in leaving people under lockdown in their homes with a substance that is harmful both in terms of their health and the effects of their behaviour on others, including violence," Carin Ferreira-Borges, the program manager for the region's alcohol and illicit drugs program, said in a statement.
1.What did WTO encourage the governments to do during the lockdowns?
A.It encouraged the governments to prevent people from going out.
B.It encouraged the governments to tell people to keep social distance.
C.It encouraged the governments to close the schools.
D.It encouraged the governments to limit the sale of alcohol.
2.Which is not the reason why people are not allowed to drink more alcohol?
A.Drinking more alcohol will affect peoples' Immune systems.
B.Drinking more alcohol will cause more violence at home.
C.Drinking more alcohol will cause more traffic accidents.
D.Drinking more alcohol can cause poisoning.
3.In what area did people like drinking most in the world?
A.Asia B.America
C.Europe D.Africa
4.From what Tedros said who is more likely to be affected by violence at home?
A.Young people. B.Old people.
C.Drunken man. D.Women and children.
If you're looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer's record-breaking heat waves might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏度), according to a recent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking. A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. If we continue on this path, "cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally more unhealthy for inhabitants," said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development.
"We see the tree cover being changed, which means when we look at the photographs, what was there is now replaced with a parking lot or a building," Nowak said. "Every time we put a road down, we put a building and we cut a tree or add a tree, it not only affects that site, it affects the region." The study placed a value on tree loss based on trees' role in air pollution removal and energy conservation.
Nowak says there's a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergies or large falling branches in storms, "and people don't like sweeping leaves." But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive. Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt(沥青). "A lot of our native trees can't actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate," explains Greg Levine, co-executive director for Trees Atlanta. "That's why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren't natural anymore."
Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property. "We think we pay for our house, and so we must maintain it. But because we don't pay for nature, we don't need to. And that's not necessarily true."

A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend–a bear.
The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends at his grandmother's house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police.
Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still-no Casey. Two days later, someone called the police saying they heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. They pulled him out of some wild bush. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend."
The police officer Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. "However," the police officer said, "he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear that was with him." Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military. Officer Hughes told reporters that at no point did he think Casey had been kidnapped.
Doctors at Carolina East Medical Center treated Casey for minor injuries. He was then released to his family on January 25. His mother Brittany Hathaway was on cloud nine and talked with reporters from a local news agency and thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. "We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to come search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good," said his mother. "He is good, he is up and talking. He's already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good."

A.They rang up the police at once.
B.They got into a panic and at a loss as to what to do.

2.How was Casey when he was found?
