1 . Nowadays, smart phones are becoming more and more popular among middle school students. But schools don’t allow (允许) students to bring their phones to school. Many people discussed about whether the phones are good for students or not. They have different ideas.
Some think it is good for students. They can look for some useful information for their study on the phone. Then the students can use it as a tool (工具) of study. Also, they can call their parents at any time.
But some people do not think so. They think it is bad for students. Because some students can’t use the phone in the right way. They may use mobile phones to play games and waste much time on it. What’s worse, some students become a phone addict, taking the phone anywhere anytime.
In my opinion, smart phones are good for students. As we know, the 21st century (世纪) is full of information. A smart phone is one of the quickest tools for us to exchange information. It is a fashionable and useful invention (发明). It makes our life more colorful. So we should make the best use of it. And it’s not wrong to follow the fashion, but the most important thing is how to use the smart phone properly. If you can use it in a right way, you will know many things out of classroom.

4 . In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s supplier (供应者) of SG. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt this way.
“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.
In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”
Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

5 . Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at, “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news: from international（国际的）problems to pop stars.
Read the newspaper carefully, and we’ll find different types of articles on the pages: News stories—These stories are about events（事件）. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.
Opinion writing—Opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people to think. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.
Advertisement—Don’t get happy too early when you read them. Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products（产品）! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!

6 . If you are joining in chat room conversations, or writing e-mails with net pals（网友）, you are one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s easy: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB（=be right back）will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI（=pardon me for jumping in）.
Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request（要求）to know your pal’s age, sex（性别）and location（地点）. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF（=on the floor）, or LOL（=laughing out loud）, or join the two into ROTFL（=rolling on the floor laughing）.
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG（=got to go）or TTYL（=talk to you later）.
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital （大写字母）letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation（标点）is going too.
