Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone? If yes, you are not alone. These days, many people can’t live without their phones. They reach for them as soon as they wake up in the morning. They keep checking their apps, such as QQ and Wechat, to get the latest news.
It may be difficult for these people to give up the bad habit, so Google developed an app called Dashboard to help them. This app helps users manage the time they spend on their phones.
First, Dashboard allows the users to look at their phone habits. For example, users can see how many times they have unlocked their phones, how many times they have checked their apps, and how much time they spend on each app each day. Once the users see this information, they will be able to make some changes. They can set a time limit(限制) for how long they can use each app every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. What’s more, Dashboard can help keep the phones silent when users put their phones face down, so they will use the phones less. If you truly want to make full use of your free time instead of spending hours using your smartphone, this new app is just a good choice. After all, controlling yourself and having a strong will can help you most.

【推荐3】Bi Sheng was born in Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huang gang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD (公元). He was the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany. The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past?
First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully on to the types. After that the words were chosen and put in right order in a box according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types. Finally the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books.
The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place.

【推荐2】An afternoon nap can make your body better
When I was a child in kindergarten, I had to take a nap (小睡) during school every single day. It was probably my least favorite thing about being in kindergarten. But now, as an adult, I love taking naps. Being able to relax and get some rest in the middle of the day is great! But attitudes (态度) toward naps are quite different when comparing the US and China.
In the US, taking a nap in the middle of the day is looked down upon. People who take naps are seen as lazy. You can even be fired (解雇) from your job if you fall asleep at work. This kind of thinking dates back to the founders of the US, the Puritans (清教徒). They were known for working hard.
But in China, taking a nap is just a normal part of the day. Some people even bring their own pillow to work for naptime! People in China have a much more relaxed attitude toward taking naps.
On one hand, it is true that you spend less time working or studying if you take a nap. There are also times when it isn't appropriate (合适的) to take a nap. You don't want to fall asleep in the middle of an important meeting, or during a wedding.
But on the other hand, having a short rest can help you work better. A good rest can improve your mood as well, studies say. So why not take a nap during lunch break and make the rest of the day more enjoyable?
1. The writer mentioned his experience in the kindergarten to ______.| A．explain how he hated naps in kindergarten | B．show how boring life in kindergarten can be |
| C．show how his attitude toward naps has changed | D．tell us a funny story about kindergarten |
| A．they are considered to be hard workers | B．they will be seen as lazy and may be fired |
| C．people will think it is normal | D．others may give them a pillow |
| A．improve your attitude toward life | B．kill time during a boring meeting |
| C．shorten the time you need for work | D．enjoy the rest of the day |
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why there are almost no trees or grass in dry deserts.
Plants must also have a place to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built(被建立) on hard land. The plants there have only the soil between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

| A．two | B．three | C．four | D．five |
