Though they have been around since the late 1990's, emoji(表情符号) usage has increased sharply with the popularity of smartphones.
Recently, a team from the University of Michigan and Peking University studied 427 million messages sent by users in 212 countries to see the differences in emoji usage by culture. Below are emoji use in text messages.
Though these findings were interesting, the most interesting was the conclusion(结论) that the emoji choice is influenced by societal environment. The researchers say that people living in countries like Australia and France who believe that one person's need is greater than that of a society or group—use happier emojis. But those from countries like Colombia often use sad or angry emojis.
Also, cultures like Turkey and Russia, known for their strictness, appeared to be more satisfied, at least according to the emojis. On the other hand, people in other cultures, like Mexico, seemed unhappy or dissatisfied.
The researchers believe that the findings of “emoji usage” will help make our emoji vocabulary larger. Who knew that the image we add to brighten up our texts could show so much about our culture?
1.In which country are the emojis used most?
________________________________________________________________________
2.What probably influences the emoji choice according to the passage?
________________________________________________________________________
3.What percent of people from aged 13～17 use emojis in text messages?
________________________________________________________________________
4.Do you like happy emojis or unhappy emojis? Why?
________________________________________________________________________
5.How do you like the emojis?

195 countries reached an agreement(协议) on Dec. 12, 2015 after two weeks’ talks in Paris. They talked about climate(气候) change. It is the first time in history that most of the world’s countries, rich or poor, promised to take action to deal with climate problems.
Below is a chart showing where the greenhouse gas(温室气体) comes from.
Where is greenhouse gas from?
The Paris Agreement(巴黎协定) sets up a goal of cutting down the earth temperature to less than 2℃. If the warming gets above 2℃， there will be serious problems on the earth like natural disasters.
The agreement also asks countries to volunteer to do things. For developed countries, they will do even more. They have a plan to offer over 100 billion dollars to help poorer countries to develop clean energy like water and wind power.
However, the Paris Agreement won’t solve earth warming by itself. The future also depends on how well each country will carry out their promises.

Today I went to the beach. It was my first day at the ocean for many years. The sound and smell of the ocean brought back memories of the great family vacations when I was a child. We always went to the beach for a week in the summer. I remembered playing for hours in the sand with my sister and crying when I couldn’t have any ice cream. Oh, and I remembered finding a huge jellyfish on the beach, and running away because I was scared! Amazing, really, the things you remember from your childhood…
Comments
Yeah, I remember going for long walks in the countryside. I guess I was only eight or nine. In the winter, my mom made soup, and I can still remember the wonderful smell! When we got home, I always went straight to sleep…
Carla, Mexico
What a great story! I remember going to the beach, too – on Christmas Day! My family lived in Australia when I was young. I remember waking up early. After we opened our presents, we always went to the beach and had a barbecue.
Leung, Hong Kong
The best memory I have is playing my first video game, Super Mario. I remember thinking that it was amazing, It was my tenth birthday and I still remember opening the box.

Paper or plastic?
After paper, plastic seems to be the most popular material for making banknotes. Compared with paper money, plastic banknotes are stronger and last for a longer time, so people can keep using them. But they are much more expensive to make.
The fifth edition of the Renminbi (RMB) came out on Aug. 30, 2019. These bills will have brighter colors and new security features, which will make printing fake（假的）money even harder. We've been using banknotes for around 1, 000 years. Back in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese people made the world's earliest paper money to replace metal coins（金属硬币）. These banknotes were called jiaozi.
Obviously, paper money is cheaper to make and easier to carry. These advantages made it more popular than other forms of money. But now, in the digital（数码的）age, paper money seems to be disappearing for the same reason-what's more convenient than not having to carry any money at all?
My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. 在中国, 我出去的时候很少带钱。I can pay for almost everything by Alipay. It's amazing. However, if you don't take wallet with you, you'll get into trouble.
-Sam from India
China seems to be heading toward becoming a cashless society. From supermarkets to street stalls（小摊）, people pay by using the WeChat Wallet and Alipay apps on their mobile phones. Sweden is even closer to a future without paper money. Many Swedish banks no longer even have cash on hand.
But there are worries about creating cashless societies. Some say, "It's unfair to the poor and people without too much education.”It's not easy for them to open bank accounts（账户）or deal with mobile phones. And if all of your money is digital, you may lose your money if your accounts are hacked（黑客攻击）.
Although paper money is in a losing war with electronic payment in some countries, it's still a big thing in most parts of the world. It may take a little longer than you think to see it go away.
1.When did Chinese people make the world's earliest paper money?
2.Why is plastic the most popular material for making banknotes? (one reason is OK)
3.What's the advantage of paper money?
4.Please translate the underlined sentence into English.
5.Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
6.Do you think paper money is going away? Why or Why not?
wn again. Dick was worried, because he knew he might have to leave the college.
