Whenever Ms. Zhang receives a series of voice messages on the WeChat messaging app from her mother, the 32-year-old woman looks at them and sighs(叹息). She doesn’t want to listen to them one by one, which can always be over a dozen in all. And she hates having to listen again if she misses something. “I really don't’ want to open them,” she says. ”But what can I do? She’s my mom.”Her mother, however, thinks that texting seems cold, and reading text on a phone screen is difficult for people at her age. So she also uses voice messages when communicating with her old schoolmates.
Now, sending voice messages is seen as a feature for seniors, plus a few groups such as salespeople and drivers. About nine out of 10 Chinese internet users are on WeChat and half of them spend over 90 minutes a day on the app chatting, reading, working and shopping. There is no doubt that WeChat is where China’s national conversation takes place.
WeChat’s 2017 user report shows that while people over 55 made up only 1% of the platform’s(平台) user base, one out of five messages they sent were voice, compared with one in 10 for users under 21.”While users take nine seconds on average to read 100 characters, they need 22 seconds to listen to the same 100 characters,” says Liu Xingliang, head of research at the company Data Center about the China Internet.”Only when you listen to WeChat’ voice messages will you find out how long a minute is,” he says.

Text messaging, or simply “texting”, with allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.
However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.

My daughter had a bullying(欺凌) problem a couple of years ago. She kept receiving rude text messages from kids at school. Dealing with school bullying wasn’t easy, but I finally ended it. When you realize things are serious, it is no time to be silent.
If your kids are also receiving such text messages, take them directly to the headmaster and show him. Describe to him how it is affecting your kids. Tell him you will not tolerate it and that you want him to put an end to it now.
School bullying is a dangerous and serious issue these days, and any good headmaster will take your charges seriously. He will probably address the issues with the parents. If they are crappy(糟糕的) parents, then they may do nothing to their child. You may have to repeat this process several times, but you need to keep a check on those text messages and don’t allow your child to delete them.
Now it is time to draw your child close and take care of him/her, because he/she needs it. My daughter did not like me being involved either, but you are the only person your kid can depend on to solve this problem, so do it and mean business. Always be polite, but straightforward. The headmaster and parents must know you mean business.
If repeated meetings with the headmaster (and parents, if he allows it) do not work, then I would consider hiring a lawyer. That will send the message loud and clear. When you are talking about financial loss, most parents will stand up and take notice and act to keep their kids under control!
I know a lawyer is a big expense and not something you do lightly, but when bad things like school bullying are happening to your children, you must act and act quickly.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tolerate” in Paragraph 2?
A. mind B. discuss C. stand D. affect
2.What does the author suggest about school bullying in Paragraph 4?
A. Children can deal with it themselves.
B. Not all bullying problems can be solved.
C. Parents should fully respect kids’ thoughts.
D. It’s necessary for parents to be involved in it.
3.What should parents do if the headmaster fails to solve the bullying problem?
A. Ask a lawyer for help. B. Put your child under your care.
C. Meet the bullies in person. D. Ask the parents of the bullies for money.
4.Why does the author write the text?
A. To seek help. B. To offer advice.
C. To ask for advice. D. To share his experience.

About 12 years ago, I began making a series of dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk.” At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay（软陶）called cernit. The cloth dolls were beautiful, but it was impossible to get the level of detail（细节）I can get with clay.
First, I use wire（金属丝）to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire using the cernit. Then I make the doll’s clothes myself, using lots of different materials. The completed dolls are fixed onto hardwood bases made by my father, Jim Logan.
Generally, the dolls I make show older people taking part in traditional activities. I’ve always had a great respect for the older generation.
Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles（皱纹）on the face of one of my mom’s friends. But I explained that her laugh lines made her more attractive.
Now I work as a teacher’s assistant, and while I was raising my two daughters, Keri and Sheryl, I could work on the dolls only late in the day. The girls loved to come downstairs the next morning to see who’d arrived in the night.
It’s the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father, including a tiny creel — a basket used by fishermen for carrying fish. When the man got the doll, he immediately opened the creel to see what was inside. Luckily, I’d made a small fish out of cernit and placed it in the basket.
Hopefully my story will inspire others to try their hand at doll making — I find it very relaxing and interesting.
1.The dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk” were ________.
A. totally hand made
B. mainly made of cloth
C. usually small kids
D. often designed by the author’s father
2.Why did the author look closely at her mother’s friend’s face?
A. To guess her age.
B. To get creative ideas.
C. To give her a surprise.
D. To find out why she was so attractive.
3.The author’s daughters ________.
A. thought doll making was a waste of time
B. thought the dolls’ styles were too old
C. showed great interest in the dolls
D. paid little attention to the dolls
4.The author tells the story of the fisherman doll to show that ________.
A. it takes much effort to make a doll
B. it is difficult to satisfy everyone
C. the old also love her dolls
D. her dolls have fine details
