It happens to all of us. When it is the end of the term, your teacher will give you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what do you do now?
A bad report card is something that almost all the students will experience at least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate (评价) students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do next.
The first thing to do is to talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation (参与) in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your own (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behavior (行为)! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need. Then make a careful plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you talk to your parents. That's a good way to make your parents less angry.
While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world's most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learned from their failures, you should too!

Have you ever asked somebody a question but they didn’t reply because they were looking at their phone or computer? Or perhaps you’ve gone online to play a game just for 10 minutes but when you check the time, hours have passed. The charity Fairplay wants people to stop using digital devices (电子设备) for one day every week. Is it a good idea to do so? Ben and Sue give their opinions on this matter.
| “Unplugging can help you raise your spirits,” says Ben. | “Screens shouldn’t be all or nothing,” says Sue. |
| Many people spend too much time online. That can be bad for health. Studies have shown that it can affect sleep, so people will get tired during the daytime. Even though technology is an important part of people’s lives, less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. Whether it’s playing sports or baking, painting or reading a book, a day off line would help people enjoy their hobbies. Hobbies can make people feel more relaxed. Having one screen-free day a week would bring families together. Screens can reduce the time you spend with loved ones and can also cause other problems. A day without screens is a good idea the whole family can follow. | Although some people think people will miss something important in the real world when they scroll on social media, receiving a funny dog video from a friend can still make you feel happy at that moment. In fact, research has shown that screen time can develop young people’s education. They can get what they want in a second without going out. It’s also difficult and unwise to spend a whole day off line—people depend on digital devices to keep in touch. What if you find yourself in danger and need to reach someone? Surely it’s better to take daily breaks and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. A healthy balance is the goal. |
1. Which topic are Ben and Sue talking about?
| A．How can we use computers or phones wisely? |
| B．What should people do with digital devices? |
| C．Is it a good idea to play games often online? |
| D．Should we have a weekly screen-free day? |
①Enjoying hobbies.
②Playing sports better.
③Getting people closer.
④Being good for health.
⑤Developing young people’s education.

【推荐2】Britain was once covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live here. There were wolves, bears and wild cattle with less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
However, all this changed. Now Britain’s population has increased to 65 million. Three-quarters of Britain consists of fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is countryside，new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. Britain is one of the few countries in the world without a large wild carnivore(食肉动物).
Some people want to change this. Some say that Britain needs to become more natural again and suggest trees and plants that once grew in Britain should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in Britain should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”.
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests—but soon there might be!
1. Why does Britain have fewer wild animals?| A．Their living conditions are destroyed by humans. | B．They are being killed by their natural enemies. |
| C．The number of large animals is increasing. | D．People there don’t like wild animals. |
| A．Protecting wild animals. | B．Returning wild animals to Britain. |
| C．Planting more green plants. | D．Helping wild animals live better. |
| A．Some people are against rewilding. | B．People plan to plant more trees. |
| C．Wild animals will be back to Britain. | D．Wild animals do harm to humans. |

In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons（狒狒）enter the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees, or into houses and take food from cupboards（碗橱）and fridges. Baboons are strong animals and they can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.
Sometimes, they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is very bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors（监督员）working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside.
In Berlin, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and want the government and police to stop them.
In Moscow there are 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Many people give them food and water. Some make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps them in winter, when the temperature is一10℃and there is a lot of snow and ice.
In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come from the countryside to find food. We need some good ideas to stop animals coming into the city without hurting them.

A week ago one of my classmates, Nitin, asked me for help with math homework. We ended up talking about computers and file-sharing（共享文件）. As we talked I found that he was more experienced and could teach me about file-sharing and networking. We went to his room and watched a movie about robots that he’d downloaded. The math homework was forgotten.
The next day he came again for homework help “What do you do on weekends?” he asked. The truth is, when I have work to do, I do it. I have no special time to kill with friends. I was embarrassed about this. I expected him to think I was boring and said, “Get a life!” He said, “OK. You’re having trouble getting along with people I can show you. I’m old than you.”
Later, he checked my computer. He even connected me to an Internet chess server（服务器）.He was becoming like a big brother.
But when I thought about it, I didn’t really want Nitin’s help” His big-brother idea began to bore me.
“I’ll get you some cool computer programs（程序）”.
“I’ll teach you how to talk to girls.”
He meant what he was saying, but I don’t know why it didn’t make me feel good. Since then he’s hardly talked to me; we seem to have forgotten each other. I don’t think he can “teach” me much, and I don’t think much of him. But I could be wrong·

【推荐2】The Netherlands wants to ban use of phones on bicycles
The Netherlands is taking action to ban the use of smart phones on bicycles. If all goes well, the ban can go into effect (生效) in July.
The Netherlands is one of the most bike-friendly countries in the world. With a population of 17 million people, the Dutch own 22.5 million bicycles. That is to say, there are more bikes than people in the country.
But the use of phones on bicycles gives the country a real headache. According to a survey, researchers found that 20% of cyclists were using phones. For people under 25, 20% of car accidents have something to do with the use of smart phones. In 2015, a teenage boy got hit by a car while watching his smart phone. So his father, Michael Kulkens, became a supporter of banning phone use on bikes. "The driver did nothing wrong, but her life has been turned upside down, " said Michael.
This isn't the first time that the Netherlands has banned the use of phones on the road. People have to pay a fine of up to 230 euros if they use a phone while driving. "Both cyclists and drivers should be paying full attention when they are on the road. It is for the safety of others and themselves," said Michael.
