These days, it’s not unusual for teachers to give homework on apps. For example, students are asked to practice English or do math exercises. Some teachers also use WeChat groups to give homework.

But now, the Ministry of Education is moving to ban (禁止) teachers from assigning homework on mobile apps due to concerns about students' eyesight. In 2018, more than 70 percent of middle school students in China were found to be nearsighted, according to the World Health Organization. Using mobile phones for long periods of time is bad for our eyes.

Do students like to do their homework on the phones?

Pros（正方）

Wang Yidi，15

The apps have big databases（数据库）of math exercises！

And students can correct their answers easily. Besides students can enlarge their knowledge because of plenty of information on the phone. What's more, with the monitor, students have no choice but to finish their homework on time.

Zhou Tianyi,14

I think it's fun to do homework with apps. The teachers ask students to dub English videos and make their own short videos. Gradually, it can make them more interested in English. Meanwhile, their spoken English can improve a lot.

Cons（反方）

Zhang Keqi，14

Sometimes the apps can't recognize （识别） what students are reading in English. They have to work on them for a long time to get a high score. What's more, their eyesight has gotten worse since they started using apps to do their homework.

Xu Jiaqian,15

I don't think it's a good way to do homework on the phones. Students are too young to control themselves.

They can't help playing on other apps while doing homework. And if they also have lots of other homework to do, it's too much for them to finish.

1.Which of the following reasons is NOT from the pros?

A.Students can correct their answers easily.

B.Students can develop good learning habits.

C.Students can improve their spoken English.

2.What does the underlined word “dub” mean in Chinese?

A.配音 B.制作 C.删除

3.According to the cons, why don’t the students like to do homework on the phones?

A.Because they think it's just a waste of time.

B.Because it's bad for the student's eyesight.

C.Because they can't get the high scores on the apps.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to their words?

A.Students spend more than 70% of their time on the apps.

B.All the students can become knowledgeable after using the apps.

C.Students can't focus on their study while doing homework on the phone.

5.What conclusion (结论) can we draw from their opinions?

A.Doing homework on the phone gets in the way of students' study.

If a friend gives us a hand when we are in need, it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note.

1.

“People don’t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,” Amit Kumar from University of Texas said.2.And how do people feel when they receive one?

Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or receiving these notes made them feel.

They found that the students didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them.3.

The receiver, however, enjoyed the notes. “When you are a receiver, you focus on the warmth of the note.” Kumar says. “How heartfelt was it? How friendly and warm? ”

The writers also thought the receiver might be shy for receiving a thank-you note. 4.“The receiver feels quite happy,” Kumar says.“They don't really feel shy at all.”

Writing a thank-you note does have such a big influence on others.5.Simple and small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference to the way we treat other people and how we feel.

A. If people knew this, they would do it more often.

B. Thank-you notes can show our great love.

C. Why are people shy about sending thank-you notes?

D. They worried about what to say and how to say it.

E. But this was not true.

China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, they agree that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.

Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the expressions of　 “Boiling a dead pig”, and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig". And in English, there are expressions such as “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. If you search on the Internet for the word “pig”, you will find more idioms. Here is another example. When old people have a dream to get to the top of Qomolangma, other people will laugh at them and say, “Pigs might fly.”

None of these expressions are exactly complimentary (称赞的).

But the truth is that pigs do have some good qualities. And there’s probably no better time to clear their names than now during the Year of the Pig.

First of all, science proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a passage, pigs are similar to dogs and chimpanzees. They like to play. They have good long-term memories. And they know the difference between those who treat them well and those who don't.

There are lovable pig characters in cartoons, too. Peppa pig, for example, a UK cartoon has become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. It has attracted wide attention. In the cartoon’s pig family, they teach children about love, friendship, and the importance of family. And in China, McDull, a piglet (小猪崽 ) works hard toward his dreams even though he is in the face of quite a few failures. McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures. He has a heart of gold.

Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrate this Chinese New Year - their intelligence, cuteness, patience and innocence (纯真).

Many of us have feelings of loneliness as we grow up. Some teenagers can’t stand eating alone in the dining hall, and girls even go to the restroom hand in hand. They fear being called a “loner”. In these cases, we might use the word “loner” in a disapproving (不赞成的) way.

However, it can actually have a good meaning as well. It all depends on our attitude toward being alone.

“It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe,” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and figure out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at cooking. If you can make use of your solo (单独的) time, you’ll find that it won't trouble you.

People are becoming more peaceful about being alone. This doesn’t mean we should totally shut ourselves from the outside world, of course. But it doesn’t hurt to have some “me time” once in a while.

The Loneliness

My heart has grown rich with the passing of years,

I have less need now than when I was young

To share myself with every comer

Or shape my thoughts into words

It is the same to me whether they come or go

As long as I have myself

Let them think I care, though I go alone;

If it lifts their pride, what is it to me

Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone.

1.What does the writer want to tell us by mentioning US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux?

__________________________________________________

2.How do you like the “loners” in South Korea?

__________________________________________________

3.In the passage, the underlined word “this” refers to _______________.

4.Please translate the underlined (划线的) sentence into Chinese. (不超过 25 个汉字)

__________________________________________________

5.Do you want to be a loner? Why or why not?
