【推荐1】We use our smart phones to carry out many tasks every day. Many of us have become so reliant on them. However, it is bad for our eyes and health to use too much phone.

A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal emails and WeChat. And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news, and send a message or two to friends. After getting up, they often take photos of food, themselves, and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that users pick up their phones more than 1,500 times to do different tasks in an average (通常的) week. And the smart phone users are on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day. That is to say, people use their phones for almost one full day each week.

【推荐1】Dolphins (海豚) are not fish. They live in groups and have their own language.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw—the lower (下方的) part of the mouth.

Dolphins are friendly to men. And for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. People on ships liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met many ships and showed them the way. In 1903, a man on a ship with the name of The Penguin hurt Jack. Luckily, the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He showed ways for ships for nine more years, but he didn’t help the ship The Penguin again.

Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. There are laws to stop people from killing them.

What's showing in movie theaters these days? You might probably have watched these three blockbusters—My People, My Country ,The Captain and The Climbers. Among them, The Captain topped the Chinese mainland box office on Friday, with My People, My Country and The Climbers coming in the second and third.

The film comes from a real—life event on May 14,2018, when a captain of Sichuan Airlines, heading from Chongqing to Lhasa, made a safe emergency landing(紧急着陆)successfully and brought 119 passengers and nine crew members(机组成员）home safely. It was one of the most miraculous(神奇的）emergency landings in China's civil aviation history.

To play the roles well, the actors met the original crew members and got special training for that. The role of the captain is played by Zhang Hanyu. However, not everything in the movie is the same as the real one. Something different was made just to make the film more exciting and worth watching.

However, not everyone loves the film. Some of them think the role of Guan Xiaotong is not necessary at all, while the way of dealing with the danger is missed. They like Sully filmed by America better.
