【推荐2】World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by the UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) in 1955 to encourage people to discover the pleasure of reading. It means your teachers or parents tell you to do so. "Reading for pleasure" plays a more important role in one's growth than one's family background.
Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us know more about the outside world and perfect us. However, computer games, online videos and Internet are pushing books off the shelf. Some experts believe it's a worrying trend(趋势). Each Chinese read 0.38 more books in 2013 than 2012 but still far fewer than those in major developed countries. Even worse, many bookstores have closed their doors because many book lovers start to buy fewer books than before.
However, many people do still prefer reading because it has been part of their life. It can benefit(使受益) people in many ways. It gives us information about other countries and places of the world. It also has a strong influence on forming our personality and makes us more intelligent. The more we read, the more we know. The more we know, the smarter we become.

Many have heard of shark fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?

When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.

Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help save the sharks!

Now air pollution is getting worse and worse. The haze（雾霾）in China is serious. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “smog”. The word “smog” is from the words “smoke” and “fog”. It first appeared（出现）in the early 20th century. It is a kind of air pollution caused mostly by cars and factories.

Smog will be harmful（伤害）to your health, especially lungs（肺）. It can make you cough and cause（引起）skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.

1. Don’t do exercise in the open.

Exercising in the open makes you breathe（呼吸）deeply, and you will take in the particles（颗粒物）deep into your lungs.

2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.

If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day—you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.

3.Wear a mask.

Paper and cotton masks cannot help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.

4. Change your diet（饮食）.

Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.

So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit every day. What’s more, eat less food with too much fat（脂肪）. It’s bad for your lungs.

【推荐3】If you fall off a bike and break your arms, the injury (伤害) happens very quickly. But computer injures happen slowly. You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now let me tell you how to use a computer safely.

Your eyes. Too much light can injure your eyes. Your eyes should be more than 50cm away from the screen. Don't forget to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.

Your hands and wrists (手腕). Hand and wrist injuries happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard (键盘) for a long time, follow these three rules:

1) Rest your wrists on something.

2) Keep your arm as high as the keyboard.

3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.

Your back. You shouldn't bend(弯) your back when you sit before the computer. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your arms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up and exercise your arms, legs and neck.

I’m Mary. I began to send e-mails when I was 17 years old. I found Google five years later. Now, I use the Internet all the time. Internet has become so popular that about 90% of children aged 12 to 17 in America use it. About half of these children use the Internet every day. They visit chat rooms and send e-mails. They go to websites to get information for their homework.

“Children are now living in a virtual (虚拟的) world,” says Greenfield, a teacher at the University of California, “As the Internet is becoming more and more important for our life, we should worry about one question: ①good, children, the, or, for, Is, bad, Internet”

“It’s difficult to answer the question because the Internet involves so many things,” says Justine, from Northwestern University. “The Internet includes (包含) online computer games, news, information and the e-mails. So, more and more people believe that the online world can be helpful in some ways but dangerous in others.

“Although it’s not easy to tell whether it’s good or bad. ②The Internet can be used by everyone in the world,” says Justine.

When you hear “single-use”, you might think of something like chopsticks from fast food restaurants. You use them once, throw them away and forget about them. But when we forget about them, we also forget that we’re creating waste.

“Single-use” was chosen as Collins Dictionary’s “Word of the Year” for 2018. The idea of single-use is not just about real objects that we can touch or see. It also includes the ways that we communicate.

On social media (社交媒体), we see pictures, news and articles everywhere. We look, laugh and keep scrolling (滚屏). We never look twice. This is called single-use media. It’s all about sharing the small things of our lives. For example, I know what restaurant all of my friends went to last night. However, I don’t know their deepest thoughts and feelings about serious problems. I don’t even know what their dinner tasted like. I look at their pictures and give them a “Like”. Then I “throw it away” and keep scrolling.

Social media nowadays makes it very easy for us to forget what we have lost. Before we use social media and send messages on the phone, we communicated by talking. We had to remember or write down important things. Many people also communicated by writing letters, which took time and energy. They had to think carefully about each sentence. People treasured (珍惜) and kept letters for years. A letter was serious. It’s a shared piece of the writer’s spirit.

On social media, we treat our friends and family like cheap chopsticks. It’s simple and efficient (有效率的) in use, but we don’t spend time sharing little pieces of our thoughts and feelings any more.

【推荐3】阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。

Can you imagine a world without the Internet? It’s surprising to think about it.

Now, China has more than one billion(十亿) Internet users, according to the China Internet Network Information Centre. This is the highest number of user in the world. Today, 66% of Chinese “netizens(网民)” are teenagers. “They spend about thirteen hours every week online,” said Qian Hulin, an Internet expert. Doctor Song in Beijing Xuanwu Hospital said about 14% of Chinese teenager netizens often lasted over ten hours to play online games.

Why do teenagers surf the Internet? The main reasons: surfing the Web can search for information, communicate with others and have fun. On the Internet, teenagers can find out almost anything. And surfing the Web can help students with their homework and widen their knowledge.

Li Dong, a teacher at No. 41 Middle School in Shijiazhuang, likes her students to use the Internet. “When we talk in class, students who surf the Net usually know more background information than the others,” she said.

In addition, people can use the Internet to write letters or stories and send e-mails. Many teens keep in touch with their friends online. It is cheaper than phoning somebody far away and also much quicker. But at the same time, using the Internet too often is bad for our study, work and health. So everyone should treat the Internet properly because the Internet has both advantages and disadvantages.

1. Are there more than one million Internet users in China now?
_____________________________________________
2. What does Qian Hulin do?

3. Who are most of Chinese netizens nowadays?

4. Is Li Dong a student or a teacher?
