1 . You might not pay much attention to whether the things you say on WeChat and other online messaging apps are recorded. But a regulation（规定）that went into effect on May 1 will make everything you say online usable against you in a court of law（法庭）.
According to the Supreme People’s Court’s regulation, text messages emails and content posted on Websites or instant messaging platforms can be used as evidence（证据）in civil lawsuits（民事诉讼）. The idea of digital evidence was first introduced as part of China’s Civil Procedure Law in 2012. However, the recent regulation has made it clearer.
“This is the first time the Supreme People’s Court has clarified（阐明）the scope（范围）of digital evidence, especially on social media platforms and messaging services,”Li Ya, a lawyer in Beijing, told China Daily.
The regulation was introduced to keep up with changes in social development. Social media activity has become a part of most people’s lives. Therefore, digital evidence is playing an increasingly important role in civil and criminal lawsuits.
According to the regulation, if people plan to use digital evidence in a lawsuit, they have to first prove that they use the app or website that evidence comes from. Second, they must prove a original and complete record of the evidence. For example, if you lend somebody money through WeChat, you must keep the original transfer records and conversations on the app.
However, there are still questions about the regulation. Some point out that the regulation will not necessarily help in every case. “How to make sure a microblog is posted by the real microblogger is a challenge,” Li said.

3 . Imagine you are walking along the beach. Suddenly you see something shiny in the sand. Your curious mind makes you move in for a closer look. It is a glass bottle, and inside is a rolled-up piece of paper. This message in a bottle may have travelled half way around the world before landing on this beach.
Though it may seem strange, people really write notes, put them in bottles, and throw the bottles into the ocean. They do so for different reasons. Most often it is simply for fun. All the world’s oceans are connected, and tides (潮汐) can carry the bottles in many different directions. There is no telling where a bottle may end up or how far it may drift. For example, a primary school student near Seattle, Washington, let go of a bottle that traveled more than 1,700 miles before being found in Alaska 21 years later. Similarly, a man threw a bottle into the ocean near his New Hampshire hotel. His note told the finder to return the bottle to his wife Tina for a reward. More than 50 years later, the bottle was found washed up on a Caribbean island nearly 2,000 miles away.
In 2007, students at a school in Hawaii took part in a science experiment (实验) called Message in a Bottle. As part of the experiment, about 25 bottles were put into the ocean to drift. Each bottle contained (包含) a message from a student. Six months later a 13-year-old gin in Papua New Guinea found one. She and the sender became pen friends. Overtime people found other bottles of the students.
From time to time someone tries to use a message in a bottle to contact a certain person. In 1914, a British man fighting in World War I wrote a letter to his wife. Eighty-five years after the man threw his bottle into the sea, a fisherman found it in his fishing net. The fisherman delivered (递送) the letter to the man’s daughter, who was an adult by then. She was very excited to receive the letter and learn more about her father.
Throwing a bottle in the ocean is not a very dependable way to deliver a message. But, when a message is found, it is certainly a memorable event.

4 . Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. Most experts agree that teenagers need to get 8 hours of sleep a night. However, I know that most of you get much less sleep than that.
I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at appropriate (恰当的) times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon: FOMO-fear of missing out!
According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a comment or chance to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online.All this happens when they should be sound asleep.
The study shows that students who use social media during the night are more likely to suffer from sadness and anxiety. Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report shows some worrying statistics (数据) that I’d like to share with you.
23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. One in three students are tired all the time.
So I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Switch off your mobile phones at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important.
