①It is now common to go online in the home, yet a recent survey showed that ninety-five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit. I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children.
②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities. If they had a better understanding of the Internet, they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly.
③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork. These days, a lot of homework needs to be done on computers. If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with homework, which can make them upset. Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers. However, it is clear that students, especially young students, often need this kind of home support.
④Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve their relationships with their children. These days, children spend a lot of their free time on computers. If parents want to be part of that free time, they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity. Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap(代沟) between them and their children.
⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way, and so training is extremely important.
Yours faithfully.

Have you learned something about robots? There are all kinds of robots. They are in different shapes. They can do lots of work.
“Robot teachers, who are working in elementary schools now, have been very popular with pupils during a project in some South Korean school,” a government report said on Thursday.
“The elementary school children get on well with the robot teachers. They like the robotic teachers more than the ordinary ones because they never get angry and always kind to the students.” The Ministry of Knowledge said.
English teaching robots were sent to three provincial schools for eight weeks starting in late December. There they teach students as teachers. More and more students like studying and the other robot teachers were also sent out. They can teach math, science and art.
The researchers found that the English-teaching robots helped raise interest in the language and helped the students feel more confident.
“Tele-presence” robots are controlled by an English and are equipped with a microphone and video camera. Many people think we can use these robot teachers in the village far away from the cities so that the children in these areas can also get better education.
The government has expressed great interest in robots to give rural school children more learning chances. I think in the future we can see more and more robot teachers working with the students. But I think the robot teachers can’t replace the real teachers. What’s your opinion?
1. Where do these robot teachers work now?| A．In shops. | B．In elementary schools. |

| C．Because they are very kind to the students. |
| D．Because they never feel tired. |
| A．Five weeks. | B．Six weeks. |
| C．Seven weeks. | D．Eight weeks. |
| A．there will be more robot teachers in schools |

Some of them also spend free time surfing the Internet， e-mailing their friends， playing computer games. They sometimes go to cafes， fast food restaurants， shopping centers and big bookstores.

【推荐1】The traffic lights are the same in every country. They are very important to keep the traffic safe. There are always three lights: red (means “stop”), yellow (means “wait”) and green (means “go”). I think everyone knows this. But do you know who invents (发明) them?
Garrett A. Morgan, an American, is the father of traffic lights. Morgan lives in a poor family. He leaves(离开) school at the age of fourteen in 1889. He is very clever. He always looks for better ways to do things. And he likes to make new things. At that time, every American wants to have a car. Streets are full of cars. The traffic is not good. “Why not put three lights at each street crossing? They should be red, yellow and green,” Morgan says, “Let them tell cars to go, wait or stop.” So he makes a timer(定时器) to change the lights. Now we have traffic lights on the street today. When we go by car, by bike or on foot on the street, we must follow the signs of the traffic lights.

【推荐2】“Art does not solve problems, but tells us their existence(存在),” famous Polish sculptor(雕塑家) Magdalena Abakanowicz once said, “Arts education, on the other hand, does solve problems.”
The high school entrance exams for Chinese Junior 3 students are mainly about academic subjects, such as math and Chinese. But starting from 2022, they will be tested in areas like music and art.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said that fine arts will be included in high school entrance exams in more provinces and cities by 2022. Twelve cities in six provinces have already started the practice, including Nanjing and Qingdao. The scores for these subjects are from 10 to 40 points.
This is being done to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine arts classes. They should cover subjects such as music, painting, calligraphy(书法), dance, drama and opera, The Paper noted.
“Aesthetic(艺术的）education is not just about teaching students how to paint, sing or dance— it’s about the ability to appreciate artistic beauty, which is very important for students’ mental(心理的) health,” Fan Di’an, president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, told China Daily.
However, the change has caused heated discussion. Many students and their parents worry about this new policy will bring too much work. They think that since students already have adding new testing material would make things worse.
It was also pointed out that not every student would be talented enough to be good at these subjects. “It’s really hard for tone-deaf(五音不全的) people like me to remember melodies(旋律). So I need to do extra practice before music tests,” Zhao Hanfang, a 15-year-old student from Yunnan, told TEENS. “So if music is included in the high school entrance exams, I might be too much stressed.”
In response to this, Jiangsu authorities said that the tests would based on basic knowledge that comes from the students’ textbooks. The extra workload will not be difficult and shouldn’t put too much pressure on students, China Business Herald noted.
1. From Magdalena Abakanowicz, we know that ________.| A．art is the key to all problem | B．arts education is more important than art |
| C．knowing art can make life better | D．the existence of art is meaningless |
| A．High school entrance exams will not be changed. |

| C．Twelve cities will carry out the policy by 2022. |

【推荐2】Sun Run, a 16-year-old girl went to the hospital with her parents in January because her eyes felt more tired and her vision was blurry (视力模糊的). She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience lately.” Sun said.
In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first half of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.
To protect students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements for school equipment(设备).They will take effect on March 1, 2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students’ textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point (小五号).
Teachers should also avoid using projectors (投影仪) or other multimedia equipment that are too bright. There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off as little blue light as possible.
Blue light is bad for our eyes, as it can kill the photoreceptor cells (感光细胞) we need for vision. Many of the electronic devices (电子设备) we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.
Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students’ eyesight in China. In May 2020, the National Health Commission asked schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.
By 2050, half of the world’s population (nearly 5 billion) will be nearsighted, according to a study published in the journal Ophthalmology. The main reason for this is that people’s lifestyles have changed. They spend less time outdoors and more time looking at screens.
