【推荐3】It’s Friday evening. My daughters, 3 and 9, sigh (叹息) when I gently take the iPads away from their laps.     1     We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.

Most people in our lives know they will not be able to connect with my family by using computer or mobile phones for 24 hours.     2     We call it our “Technology Shabbat (科技安息日)” which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2008, when my father was told that he had got brain cancer(癌). Some days he would have only one good hour, and I wasn’t willing to be disturbed when I was with him, so I’d turn off my mobile phone.

Soon after, encouraged by National Day of Unplugging (全国断网断电日) on March 1st, my husband and I decided to unplug for one full day every week.

    3     Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive our car or ride our bike. We with our kids, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals. I feel more balanced. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.

Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is my lasting state.    4     and take in carious ideas all over the world. But the technology also take something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking (连接) from website to website or sending messages or 3-mailing, we click again, and again, and again until we’ve overloaded (超负荷的).

    5     it’s necessary for us to pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go off.

I will always remember the most important thing in my family: “Technology Shabbat”.

A．One by one, our screens are tuned off.

B．During our “Technology Shabbats”, time slows.

C．And so it has gone, every week for three years.

D．When we rush into the time full of high technology.

E．The technology we’ve created makes it possible for us to share knowledge.

F．Some days we will spend only one good hour communicating heart to heart.

【推荐1】It’s a safe bet that a robot made your car and made your computer. Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.
Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves.
What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more energy efficient.
A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the average family.
To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain---when these robots do come to our homes, it will change things forever.

【推荐3】A boy called Mario had many friends, and he was proud of it. Whoever he met, he would like to show off (炫耀) how popular he was at school.

One day, his grandpa said to him, "Mario, I know that you don't have as many friends as you think. Many of them are not true to you."

Mario thought maybe his grandpa was right. However, he wasn't sure how he could test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, "I have just exactly what you need. It's in my room. Wait a minute." The old man left, soon returning as if (好像) carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there.

"Take it. It's a very special chair. Because it's invisible, it will be hard for you to sit on it. However, if you manage to sit on it, you can use the chair's magic power (力量) to tell who your real friends are."

Mario took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair.

"Nobody move. You're about to see something amazing," said Mario. Then he tried sitting on the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell to the ground. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. "Wait, wait," said Mario, making another try. But again he missed the seat.

Mario didn't give up. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair. Finally, he did it. This time he felt himself in mid-air.

Then he experienced the magic that his grandpa had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana holding him up, so he wouldn't fall.

【推荐1】A teacher from America visited a school in China. In one class, she watched sixty children learn to draw a cat. The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and sixty children copied it on their paper. The teacher drew a small one on the top of the big one and then put two small triangles （三角形）on the top of it. The children drew in the same way. The lesson went on until there were sixty-one cats in the classroom. Each student’s cat looked exactly the same as that on the blackboard.
The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teacher methods were different from those in her country. A children’s art lesson in her country produced a lot of pictures, and each one is quite different from the others. Why? What makes this difference in educational methods? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches more than art or history or language.
In a country such as the United States or Canada, students are asked to work and find answers by themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas. In countries such as China and Japan, students often work together and help each other in the classroom, but the teachers teach, and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook, do the same homework and give the same answers.

I went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother’s face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，thisis the proudest moment of my life．”

【推荐3】On a hot day, it can be hard to know what to do to feel good.
Playing in water is one way to feel cooler. Taking a cool bath or a shower can feel really good on a hot day.
It is also important for us to drink water. If you feel thirsty, you should drink water immediately. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day, so many doctors advise that you should try to drink at least that much every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.
The food we eat also makes a difference in how we feel in the heat. Cold food, such as ice cream and drinks with some ice, can cool down our bodies. However, eating spicy(辛辣的) food makes our bodies even warmer.
The clothes we wear can help us feel cooler as well. Light-coloured, light-weight clothes feel cooler in the sun than dark, heavy clothing. Loose(宽松的）clothes are more comfortable in the heat than tight(紧身的）ones.
Even though it is not healthy to run around during the hottest time of the day, that doesn’t mean a hot day is not fun! You can read stories in your room. You can also paint or draw without moving your body too much. These are just some of many cool things to do on a hot day.
1. How much water do we need in one hot day?

A．Only 16 glasses of water.

B．Less than 16 glasses of water.

C．At least 16 glasses of water.

D．As much as possible.

2. What can’t you do on a hot day if you want to feel good?
