3 . Zhou Yan, a Junior 3 student, wishes he never got a mobile phone. Last week, he went to see a doctor because his arms and fingers were injured. The doctor told him that he had “mobile phone disease”. A growing number of teenagers are getting “mobile phone disease” because more of them are using mobile phones.
Zhou got his mobile phone five months ago. He sent messages to his friends with it all the time, even when going to bed. Zhou started to do badly in the exams because he spent so much time playing with his mobile phone. His mother got very angry with him. He didn’t stop playing with the mobile phone until his arms got injured.
Yang Ling, a doctor, says that if someone uses his mobile phone too much, like Zhou Yan, he might get “mobile phone disease”. If teenagers find their arms or fingers hurt, they should go to see a doctor as soon as possible. Yang Ling said students should try to use their mobile phones less, especially at school.

When people talk to friends online, they may use emojis(表情符号) or memes(表情包) more often than words to show their feelings. Memes are more complex(复杂的) than emojis. They have words on images(图像).
Why do people like using them so much? I think there are a few reasons. With emojis and memes, we are able to show our feelings without typing(打字). It makes us chat more easily. If I want to say “I love you”, I can just send someone a “heart” emoji. Or I can send an “angry face” emoji to say “I'm very upset right now!”
Sometimes it is difficult to show feelings with words, so we can use emojis and memes to help us. For example, when you want to celebrate a victory(胜利), you can use the Success Kid meme. It's a picture of a boy with a clenched fist(紧握的拳头) and a determined(坚定的) face. It's easy to use a picture to show a thought or feeling that everyone knows.
People use these things for different reasons.
Emojis and memes are quick and easy, and almost every phone or messaging app has them.

Dear Li Lei,
During my summer vacation, I will do lots of things. First, it's a good time to relax. I will spend some time travelling, visiting some places of interest and meeting some friends. Then, I will go to see my grandparents and do some housework for them. Last, maybe I will work as a volunteer to help the poor children in my home town.
What's your plan for the summer vacation? I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Lin Tao
