Next time you’re in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you that it is probably more than half, whether you’re in a bus, in a café or simply walking down the street.
I’m not saying that I am not an example of this, but I wonder how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular. We can now do almost anything with a phone. But has it gone too far? We spend too much time on our mobiles but not enough time talking to people in real life.
Last time I visited London, I traveled by subway. I noticed that almost everybody else
was on their phones except those who were asleep. People were playing games, reading articles and listening to music.
Recently, my smart phone broke and I had to use an old basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends. I could only send text messages, make calls and play one game with it. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn’t mind what my friends were doing or what the latest news was. I could enjoy my time watching the people around me and seeing what was going on.
However, I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back, I would be one of those people once again.
1.The writer finds that _________ people are using their phones in public places.

3.The writer could use his old basic phone to __________.
A. surf the Internet

4.What didn’t the writer see on the subway when he visited London?
A. People were sleeping.

Is the Mobile Phone a Must-have for Teenagers?
Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their mobile phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on public transport, in a café or simply walking down the street. With the development of technology, we can now do almost anything on the mobile phones. How does the use of mobile phones affect(影响) the young? Do they really need mobile phones or not? Some British parents, teachers and teenagers give their opinions on this subject.
Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without? William, a parent of two kids, says, "The great thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them. The worst thing about teenagers having phones is that some young people use them to send impolite messages to each other." Some parents have rules about their children's mobile phone and internet usage. If they break the rules, their phones will be kept by their parents.
In the UK, students can take their mobile phones to school, but they are not allowed to use them in class. Some teachers complain(抱怨) that students don’t always follow the rules. They don't listen carefully in class because they are using their phones to surf the internet, chat with friends or so on. As for the students, most of them think phones are part of their lives. They can keep in touch with family and friends, and they can take photos, keep important information and surf the internet, which is very convenient(方便). Some consider phones as a kind of fashion(时尚) and they don't want others to see them as "out" or "different".
It’s true that mobile phones have become a symbol of the modern life. This form of technology makes teenagers' life much more convenient, but if teenagers depend too much on them, it can lead to serious problems. Increasingly scientists are saying that everyone needs a break from mobile phones — put them away and experience “the real life”. In fact it can be very easy — next time when you go out with friends, put all of your phones in the middle of the table. Whoever touches his phone first has to pay the bill!
Indeed, the convenience brought by mobile phones is great, but don't let your phone become more important than the “real” people in your “real” life.
1.The mobile phones will probably be kept by parents if the teenagers________.
A. go out with classmates and friends and pay the bill
B. search for a lot of important information and keep it
C. take them to school and look up new words after class
D. send impolite messages and surf the Internet too much
2.According to the passage which of the following is true?
A. All students consider mobile phones as a kind of fashion.
B. Teachers allow students to use mobile phones in class in the UK.
C. Parents often count how many young people are using mobile phones.
D. More and more scientists think people need a break from mobile phones.
3.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A. Schools should stop students from taking their phones to school.
B. The mobile phone is the most important invention in modern life.
C. Mobile phones are useful but teenagers shouldn’t totally depend on them.
D. Talking with friends on mobile phones is better than doing it face to face.

The students in Grade Nine have to take a P.E. test in many places around China. The full mark is usually 50 points and it counts for much in the high school entrance exam.
In Shizong the test is held in April. Students have the test in their own or the other school. Each student is tested on three sports. They can choose long jump, basketball dribbling(运球) or volleyball. The pull-up(引体向上) is for boys and girls can choose the sit-up. Both boys and girls must pass in the test, or they can’t go to the higher school to go on studying.
Most students find the test easy and more than 90% of them can get full marks. That’s because they have been training for it during the whole three years. Students in Grade 9 usually do lots of practice in P.E. classes and after class. The training makes the test easier than it seems to be.

April Fool’s Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. On that day people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other.
One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarket to buy as much as spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out. In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water. They said it would help people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By the end of the day, more than 10000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.
Many April Fool’s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star asked his girlfriend to marry him on his TV show. The girl said “Yes.” But he replied, “April Fool !” That joke didn’t have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.
One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than in April. In that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. People believed the story and fear spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax, many people had left their homes.
任务一:When did Orson Welles tell people about aliens from Mars landing on the earth?
1.
任务二:Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
2.
任务三: 第二段划线的 “it” 是指代3.
任务四:What is the main idea of the passage ?
