WHEN was the last time you used an emoji ? For many of you, the answer is “just now”! Indeed, the cute little pictures have become an important part of our digital lives. But think twice the next time you send out an emoji – the wrong one may get you in hot water

A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US learned this lesson the hard way. She faced charges for using gun, bomb and knife emojis in a post on Instagram, a photo-sharing website, in December. She had to appear in a court for threatening the school and computer harassment (骚扰) last month, reported The Washington Post.

The girl’s mother said her daughter was a good kid and that the post was a response to bullying (欺凌). It’s not clear whether the case has already been solved, since the hearings (听证) were not open to the public.

There will be more and more of these cases as emojis continue to spread around the world. Last year, 6 billion emojis and other similar pictures were sent every day, according to the UK-based mobile technology company SwiftKey.

While the courts get ready to struggle with upcoming cases with emojis, do you agree that we should start using the icons more carefully?

When was the last time you used a phone booth on the street? With the rise of mobile phones, they have become something out of date. But Shanghai is trying to bring new life to the old phone booths by turning them into mini-libraries.

Shanghai plans to divide 263 phone booths in Xuhui District into six new types. One type will each offer 60 books for people to read or borrow. A second type will allow users to listen to audiobooks and even record their own voices. A third type will become “Celebrity Exhibition Halls (名人亭)”, showing old photos and works of famous artists like Ba Jin and Zhang Leping.

Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. The British care about them even more, since the red phone booths have long been a part of the country’s identity*. The world’s first phone booth was built in the 1880s in Germany. But in the 1930s the UK painted them red and made them a special attraction in cities.

In recent years the country has come up with many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. The UK company British Telecom has added screens and free WiFi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and weather reports. The company also allows people to rent some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than 1,500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, mini-cafés, art museums and even shower rooms, according to the Sina News. Besides, the town has made it into a museum to show visitors the local history. Today the phone booths is filled with photographs, ancient jewelry, and paintings, which anyone can stop in to admire. Every three months, they will change for a new theme.

Maybe in the future phone booths will become city attractions once again, but in a more creative way.

1.How many books will each library booth in Shanghai offer?

A. 263. B. 60. C. 360. D. 1,500.

2.Among the six new types of phone booths in Shanghai, people can NOT_______.

A. read and borrow books B. listen to audiobooks

C. record their own voices D. play video games

3.What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

B. The British can buy flowers from a telephone booth.

C. If you want to take a shower in the UK, just enter a booth.

D. The red phone booths in the UK have been useless for years.

In some parts of the world fire was used to send messages. The　　 Indians in America, for example, used fire to make smoke as a message. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of dangerous message.　 In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.

Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp(灯), humans burned sticks to get light.

One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal(相等的) parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well.

Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies：the biological(生物的) clock.

Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6：00 a. m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s 1egs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work after. "Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.

Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology(生物钟学),the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heart attacks, occur(发生) most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication(药物) may be　 at night. When patients take heart medication at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.

Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors !

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.

You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.

Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve noticed that people are generally more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than they are in my home country, the US.

My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either.

But people’s attitudes (态度) towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.

The Chinese participants (参与者) clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn’t have to be awkward (尴尬的) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug –see how it makes you feel.

1.What usually happens between good friends when meeting in Western countries?

A. Hugging.

B. Nodding.

C. Shaking hands.

2.The second paragraph tells us ______.

A. the advantages of hugging each other

B. some situations in which people hug each other

C. the reasons why friends need to hug each other

3.In Chinese culture, hugs usually happen between ______.

A. friends

B. classmates

C. couples

4.What did people do at the “hugging party”?

A. They were invited to hug each other.

B. They watched a video about hugging.

C. They told stories about hugging.

5.The writer wrote the last paragraph to ______.

A. encourage people to be nice to strangers

B. explain why people feel uncomfortable while hugging

C. show how people can change their minds about hugging
