How do you study each day? You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. There are some normal ways. Do they seem a little boring? If so, there are other new ways that can make learning interesting. It’s digital(数字化) learning.
There are three important kinds of digital learning. The first kind is apps(应用). People can download them on their mobile devices(设备). For example, the app Khan Academy(可汗学院) covers many courses such as math, physics, computer science and so on. The other two kinds are social networking services such as weibo and WeChat and websites. Each of them is like your teacher. They help you learn more.
Compared with normal learning ways, digital learning has its good sides. It almost covers everything. More importantly, it’s always updating(更新), which offers students the newest things to learn from. Digital learning can meet different learners’ needs. You can choose what you like to earn. You can also learn at your own speed. If you don’t understand what you have learned at school, you can learn again whenever and wherever you want to.
However, digital learning also has downsides. When you use digital ways to learn, there is little connection with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smartphones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes.

Now, people like to use emojis（表情符号）to show their feelings. Most emojis are yellow faces. They stand for different feelings such as happiness and sadness. There are also some pictures of animals, flowers, food and other things. For example, there is an emoji of a birthday cake. You can send it to your friend on his or her birthday.
Emojis have been popular among cell phone users for a long time. Emojis first came out in Japan in the 1990s. At that time, in Japan, some young people were interested in them. They found it interesting to use emojis. Then they began to use them to communicate with their friends. Soon the emojis became more and more popular in Japan. A few years later, people all over the world began to use them.
Today, there are about 845 emojis. Some of the most popular emojis are the heart shape and laughing-crying face. In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries chose the "face with tears of joy" as the most popular emoji in the world.

Social media is a big part of most people’s lives. There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo, as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. How do you behave when you use these apps?
Recently researchers at the University of Sussex, UK, studied social media users ranging from 10 to 15 years old. They found there are four personality types. They are either a “geek (极客)”, an “internet celebrity (网红)”, a “lurker (潜伏者)” or a “victim (受害者)” on social media.
Victims
Victims don’t have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online. To avoid being a victim, you should follow these tips.
First, check your privacy settings on social media. Choose “Friends only” for your posts.
Second, do not share your birthday, age, or place of birth. This information can be used to find out more about you.
Lastly, do not share the location of your home or your vacation plans. Thieves may break into your home if they know you are not there.
Geeks
Geeks are active social media users who care about their privacy (隐私). They often post creative works online, using unreal names.
The movie The Social Network tells the story of Mark Zuckerberg. He is comfortable in his online life, but finds life in the real world to be much more difficult to deal with. This can remind “geeks” to try to avoid becoming addicted (上瘾的) to the Internet and take part in more face-to-face communication.
Internet celebrities
Internet celebrities might become well-known for their singing or dancing. And many of them share almost every aspect of their lives in order to attract more fans.
Being a teenage internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world, according to an article published by The Atlantic. Teenage celebrities might spend less time studying and more time online, which may be harmful to their study
Lurkers
Most teenagers probably fall into the type – “lurkers”. You probably have such friends who prefer to “like” and share links , rather than creating their own content online.
The problem for these teenagers is that they may find it difficult to express themselves. But at least they make sure to protect their privacy.

【推荐3】Do you shop online with websites like Taobao? When you make an order on Taobao, the money you pay doesn’t go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while. Then Alipay gives the money to the seller.
This is called “third party online payment (支付)”. There is a transfer station (中转站) between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers don’t need to worry about paying for products and then receiving nothing. Sellers also don’t worry about receiving no money after sending out products. These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies (公司) such as Alipay, Tenpay and Yeepay. Among them, Alipay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users.
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment, banks don’t. That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can make money through Alipay. So lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.
But WeChat payment is not the same. It doesn’t have a transfer station. When paying through WeChat, the buyers’ money goes directly to the sellers. That’s why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out hongbao.
In a word, the two forms of payment are trying to make online shopping easier. Which one do you prefer?

How important is music? When they are asked this question, some students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.
________. Music shows the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music gives a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music tells the emotive (情感的) meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. it is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we keep them away from the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.

What class do you find interesting? Is it science, history, music or PE? To many students of a school in Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing, the answer is “cooking”.
The school begins the new class for its students. In the “cooking” class, teachers don’t ask students to read any books or look at the blackboard. They just instruct (指导) students how to make food. For example, with the teachers’ help, students make the nice Chongqing noodles. At the end of the class, students taste (品尝) the noodles with their classmates.
Now more and more schools begin the “cooking” class. Students can study cooking skills (技能) at school. When they go back home they can cook for their parents. And this makes parents very happy.

【推荐1】These days living and dealing with kids can be hard, but living and dealing with parents may be even harder.
I have learned that communication is very important since I was at the age of sixteen, both when you disagree with your parents and when you get along well with your parents. In any situation, you need to let other persons know how you are feeling. When you are mad at your parents or anyone else, not talking to （1） them can't solve anything.
Communication begins with the care of each other. It means that you can't just return home from school without saying anything to your parents. Even if you just say "Hi", it is better than saying nothing. If you look（2）___________ the word "communication" in a dictionary, it would say "the exchange of ideas, the expressions of information, correspondence （通信） ,means of communication: a letter or a message" . To remain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel,even if it's just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as parents. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say carefully, but ask them politely to listen to you as well. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
Communication isn't a one -way deal:it goes both ways. Just remember: telling the others how you feel and listening to others are the keys to communication.

Many people seem to know well about the rain forests. Some people even go to the rain forests to spend some of their time trying to make friends with the plants and animals there. The scientists are actually hard at work studying the plants that grow in the very top level of a rain forest. Rain forests are one of the richest environments on Earth. They are home to millions of species of plants and animals. The red research raft provides scientists with a platform from which to study life in the treetops. Scientists can even sleep on the raft, so they can stay up in the treetops for days at a time.
Rain forests cover only about 6 percent of Earth's land surface. However, they contain more than half of the plant species on Earth. Many of these plants provide useful medicines to use against human diseases. In fact, about 25 percent of prescription medicines in the United States are based on chemicals from rain forest plants. Scientists think that many new medicines might be developed from plants that are yet to be discovered.
Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing. Rain forest trees are being cut down for wood. Huge chunks of the forests are cleared to provide land for farm animals and crops. Scientists haven't identified all the plants in these forests yet. Some scientists think thousands of kinds of plants that we'll never even know about are being destroyed each year.

【推荐3】We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body energetic. If you exercise several times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.
Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don't have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from morning to late afternoon, so they don't have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers. It is impossible for them to get much exercise in this way.
Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, most of people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is not good in two ways. First, these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and needs too much attention. It makes a person very tired. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don't want to take exercise after work.
Today, many people in the West are overweight which causes health problems for them. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don't see a difference right away, they will lose confidence and stop exercising.

I used to be the messiest (凌乱的) person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trying again and again, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.
Make a general list of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all steps that need to be completed and think about what needs to be done.
Detail everything completely and read it over so you can start coming up with some good ideas of how to carry out your plans.
You should make sure that if, for some reason, way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to depend on. So, different ways are needed at hand. It’s just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the others will.
Don’t try to solve more things all at a time. All that does is to slow your progress, take away your attention and make you lose your interest and energy.
Carrying out an effective (有效的) plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not changing or trying to do more at a time.
Last but not least, you should never give up things halfway. It will only make everyone around you angry, including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money.
So, don’t be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.

【推荐3】It's hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. It's easier to make friends when you have the same interests.
Don't be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. That way，they will find it easier to talk to you. If not，people may think you are not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.
