【推荐3】Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi′an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生) the codes, and in the end everything got easier, "said Guo. When students finish the homework, they keep it on Wechat(微信).Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone.

Students can send the QR codes to Mr. Guo by e-mail, QQ and Wechat. When Guo scans(扫描)his students′ QR codes. their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo′s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, because it makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo′s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is necessary to try to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don′t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it′s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework which doesn′t take them too much time. Also for teachers it allows them to check the students′ homework at any time. And it′s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

【推荐2】Kong Rong was a famous writer during the Han Dynasty（汉朝）. He was considerate when he was only four.

Kong had five elder brothers and a young brother. One day, their father bought lots of pears. Some of the pears were big and looked good. Some were small and didn’t look so good. The boys were happy and began to choose some. Kong chose the smallest one. Kong’s father found this strange and asked, “Why not choose a bigger one, my son?” Kong answered, “I am younger. My elder brothers are older and eat more. They should take the bigger ones.”

“But you have a young brother. He should take the smallest one!”

“He is younger and needs more nutrition（营养）. He should get a bigger one, too.”

Kong’s father was very happy that Kong could be so considerate. He didn’t think of what he himself wanted. He thought of what others wanted first.

【推荐2】Bears are dangerous animals. We’d like to see them in movies but not face to face. For this reason, they live in the forest.

The oldest bear is called Ursavus Elmensis. It was similar to a tiger. It was found in Europe and it lived ten million years ago. Over time, it turned into the bear we see now.

Brown Bears are the strongest. They have the largest size and they weigh up to 500 kg to 850 kg. With life conditions and food changing, the weight changes.

Polar Bears are the best swimmers of all kinds of bears. They live near the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋) and have to swim for miles every day in cold water for food..

For the bears, smell and hearing are the most developed. Bears can smell a man about 100 meters away. But their sight isn’t so good. So we can say that their eyesight is weak.

【推荐3】Boys, like girls, need friends. Many people believe that boys need fewer friends than girls do. In fact, boys are much happier and healthier when they have good friends.

There are some differences in friendships between girls and boys. For example, Amy and Sarah are the best friends. They walk to school together every morning, and always eat lunch together. While they sometimes read books, their heads are always close together. They talk about everything. Jason and Leo are friends. Jason sometimes talks with Leo about his parents’ divorce (离婚) because he knows that Leo’s parents are divorced, too. But they only talk to each other and keep the secret. When the other boys are around, they play ball games or talk about other things like their favorite films.

People believe that girls are better at making friends, but most boys think making friends is an important part of their lives. Boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls.
