Rowan’s New Neighbor
1 Look and answer. What’s the new neighbor’s name?
2 Listen and read.
Rowan saw that he had new neighbors. A boy was carrying some boxes down the street. Rowan was excited. He could make a new friend!
“Hi there,” he told the new boy. But the boy just walked past him and didn’t answer.
Rowan was upset. The boy wasn’t very friendly!
“There’s a new boy in my neighborhood,”
Rowan told Holly and Julia the next day.
“Really? What’s he like?” Holly asked.
“Well, at first I thought he looked friendly. But then he wasn’t very kind to me,” Rowan explained.
“Sorry, I can’t hear anything when I wear my headphones. Hi, I’m Sam.”
“Nice to meet you, Sam. I’m Rowan.”
The next weekend, Rowan invited Sam to play video games with his friends.
“Do you like the new RacingStars game, Sam?” asked Holly.
“Yes, it’s great.” Sam answered. “And it’s even better with new friends!”
“Oh, no! What did he do?” Julia asked.
“Nothing — that’s the problem!” Rowan answered.
“He walked past me and didn’t say anything!”
Holly and Julia were surprised. “That’s strange. Maybe he didn’t hear you,” said Holly.
“Yeah, or maybe he felt upset because he moved to a new house,” Julia added.
“Why don’t you try to talk to him again?” Holly suggested.
The next day, Rowan saw the new boy reading outside.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Narrator: There was a boy who took care of the sheep in his village. It was a small village, far from any highways or skyscrapers.
Boy: Watching sheep is boring! Wait, I know how to have some fun. I’m going to make a joke … (yelling) Wolf! Wolf! I see a big wolf!
Neighbor 1: (worried) Oh, no! Let’s help!
Neighbor 2: Hurry!
Narrator: The neighbors ran quickly to help the boy.
Neighbor 1: (surprised) Where’s the wolf?
Boy: (laughing) I watched all of you run! It was very funny!
Narrator: The neighbors weren’t happy. But the next day, the boy did it again … and the next day, too! The people in the village were very angry. Then, one day …
Boy: (frightened) Wolf! Wolf! Please help!
Narrator: Nobody believed him. But then the neighbors heard the wolf, too.
Neighbor 1: It’s true! There really is a wolf!
Neighbor 2: Come on! We must help the boy!
Narrator: The brave neighbors scared away the wolf. Then they talked to the boy.
Neighbor 2: (calmly) Do you understand now why you mustn’t lie?

Experiments
1 Think! Where can you find gardens?
2 Listen and read. What does UHI mean?
Urban Heat Islands
Cities are usually hotter than villages in the countryside. That’s because cities are full of buildings, roads, and cars that produce heat and hold it in. Scientists call this the urban heat island (UHI) effect because cities are like hot islands with cooler countryside around them. The extra heat from the UHI effect also makes pollution worse, which means city air is less healthy. What can we do?
Trees and other plants can help because they make the air and ground cooler. But how can you plant more trees when there are lots of buildings and roads? There’s a simple answer! Green buildings have gardens on their roofs or walls. The plants and soil in these gardens make the buildings cooler. This then helps cool down the whole city, and it cleans the air, too. Some people also grow food on their roofs!
3
Green buildings aren’t only pretty, but they also help our planet. They save energy, clean the air, and can help grow food. In big cities all over the world, green skyscrapers are becoming more popular. Maybe one day all our buildings will be green!
a This is a structure on top of a building.
b This describes a town or city.
c This is the result of a cause.
d To become less hot.
e This area is outside the city and has farms, fields, and nature.
Project
4 Organize your group.
5 Do the experiment. You’ll need:
small pots with soil and plants
1 Put a thermometer in each of the two boxes. Close the lids.
4 If you have a third thermometer, put it in a shady spot near the two boxes.
Let’s experiment with green roofs!
two small boxes with lids, sunlight two or three thermometers a timer
2 Put both boxes in a sunny spot.
5 After 30 minutes, check the temperatures on all three thermometers. Take notes.
6 Think! Then share with the class.
1 What was the temperature outside the boxes?
3 Put the pots with soil and plants on top of one of the boxes. Don’t put anything on the other box.
6 After another 30 minutes, check the temperatures again. Take notes.
2 Which of the two boxes had the highest temperature? What do you think is the reason for this?
3 Did the experiment end as you expected? Why or why not?
