【推荐1】阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。

In modern society, people use money every day. It seems that it is very important in our life. That’s because without money you can’t buy any goods (商品 ) you want . But I think few people know the history of money.

Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they need, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.

During 600 BC, people began using coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their own coins.

The Chinese were first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveller Barco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries didn’t start using paper money until the 1600s.

Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. People often prefer to pay for things with a card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.

1. Why is money very important in our life?

A report shows that without a good night’s sleep,students seem to be weaker than they should be.Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another.Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late.Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

【推荐3】We live in a society that is producing and using electronics(电子产品) all the time. What happy to your computers, MP3 players and cell phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. In 2016, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of electronic waste (e-waste,电子垃圾) and only recycled 6.5 million tons, according to the United Nations last month. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China ranked second, with 6 million tons.

(A)It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we treat it.

To help reduce e-waste, the first thing we can do is to buy longer lasting electronic equipment. If you have unwanted electronic such as aging toys or cell phones, find a new home for them by giving them to charities. （B）You can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs. Apple, for example, now offers people a discount(折扣) in China if they hand in their used devices when buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell (C)them at lower prices.

【推荐1】If you play Douyin, some family videos called “four-generation challenge”must have caught your eye. These videos started on Chinese short-video platform Douyin and have spread to social media in other countries. People from all over the world are interested in the videos and even made their own.

In these videos, a young child calls out to their mother or father; the parent enters the room smiling, turns around and calls out to their own parent; the grandparent then enters smiling and calls out to their parent—the great-grandparent.

These videos show the structure of a Chinese family. In many Chinese families, several generations live together. This is called an extended family (大家庭). Usually it is “four-two-one”—four grandparents, two parents, one child. And in most East Asian cultures, it is common for many generations of a single family to live together under one roof.

Also, the videos show how much Chinese people love their family. “They make me miss my grandma.” A Facebook user from England wrote. In fact, the “four-generation” videos have not only touched many foreigners in Western countries, but also given them a deeper look into Chinese family values.

In most Western countries, most families are nuclear families (小家庭), or families that are made up of just children and their parents.

In Western culture, privacy and independence are highly valued. Kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18. Many of them work part-time jobs in order to pay for college and rent. If they choose to continue living with their parents after becoming adult, people will think they are immature (不成熟的) or unsuccessful.

Although family structures in the East and West may be different, the love and bonds between family members are common. That might be why the “four-generation” videos have won so many hearts around the world.

1. Have the videos spread to social media in other countries? (No more than 3 words)

2. What does “four-two-one” mean when we talk about Chinese extended family? (No more than 10 words)

4. What do people think of those who live with their parents after 18 in Western countries? (No more than 8 words)
