Nowadays, short videos have become an important part in people’s daily life. They are popular among people of all ages. Short videos, usually lasting from 15 seconds to a few minutes, have become the fastest-growing trend (趋势) in China. Packed with music and special effects, they are usually fun for both their makers and viewers. When people look through short videos, time flies. Although many of them regret wasting time after doing so, none of them take it seriously since almost everyone seems to join.
If you want to keep it away, the most helpful way is not to remove (移除) apps but to learn about what leads to such a situation.
Firstly, short videos satisfy people’s strong wishes for watching and being watched. The feeling of being watched makes them feel successful. Watching others’ lives makes some people feel they are rich in life experience. Secondly, the advertisement (广告) of relative companies is one of the causes. In the ads, the apps promise that people can learn something. Actually, short videos are a kind of fragmented (片断的) information. So, we can learn nothing except wasting time. Last but not least, they create short-time happiness. It seems to lower the sadness for the people who feel unhappy in real life.
In a word, we must realize that short videos have taken up too much time. We shouldn’t depend on them for living and the real world holds more value for us to fight for.

【推荐2】Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Uni-com. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random (随机的).
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.
And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted (联系) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.
Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11—digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

Flying is a fast way to travel. But it is a big headache for some people. They can’t help worrying about things like “Is it dangerous if we don’t change our mobile phones to airplane mode (飞行模式)?” Here are some interesting facts about flying.
Why are plane windows round?
It’s for safety. As the airplane flies higher and higher, the atmospheric pressure (气压) outside gets lower and lower. During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside. When this happens, square (方形的) windows can break. That’s because having different pressures inside and outside puts stress on the corners of square windows. But rounded corners can spread the pressure more evenly (均匀地) across the window’s surface (表面), making it less likely to break.
What happens when a phone isn’t in airplane mode?
Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down. However, this is not true. If you don’t change your phone to airplane mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones. This makes it harder for them to communicate. So it’s still best to put your devices (设备) in airplane mode.
1. Why is flying a big headache for some people?2. Is the pressure inside the plane the same as that outside during the flight?
3. Why are round windows less likely to break?
4. What makes it harder for pilots and air traffic controllers to communicate?
5. After reading this passage, if you take the plane next time, what will you do?
When someone falls into the river, they need help. What can you do to help them to stay safe? Here are some different ideas. You can try to reach them with a stick, or you can throw a life ring to them.
But what if you don’t have one? You can use plastic bottles to help them float (漂浮). One empty 600ml plastic bottle can hold up 0. 6 kilos of weight. You can put several 60ml plastic bottles in a plastic bag. Then throw it to the drowning (溺水) person. This helps the person to float.
If you fall into the river, what should you do? The most important thing you should do is trying to keep calm (镇静的). You can try to swim to the shore (岸). You can also raise your hand and shout for help loudly. While you are waiting for help, you can float on your back. You should try to look around for something to hold on to.
When you stay in the water, you need a float to support your body. If you don’t find any floats, you can use your trousers to make one. It’s easy to do that. First, take off your trousers. Next, tie a knot (结) at the end of each leg and get the water out. Then, swing the trousers above the water to fill them with air. Finally, tie a knot at the waist (腰部) to keep the air in.

Keep the door locked when you are alone at home. Many people think it’s the best way to protect themselves.
Keep a list of phone numbers to call for help. Such as 110, the police station or a neighbour’s number.
Be careful with the electrical appliances(电器). If you don’t know how to use them, ask you parents. Make a safety check before going to sleep.
Look through the door viewer when you hear the doorbell. If there are strangers, ask “Who’s that?” with the door locked and say “Come back later.” Don’t tell them that your parents are away. Say “Mom’s having a shower.” or “Dad’s having a sleep.” To ignore(忽视) the doorbell is not a good idea because sometimes bad people ring doorbells to see if anyone’s at home.

There are a lot of plants in the world. Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food for us from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and man need plants in order to(为了) live. This is why there are so many plants around us.

What will the future life be like? No one knows. But I think it is fun to guess (猜) it. Let’s make this story about the future. The story will be about my day.
At 7 o’clock in the morning, I wake up. My smart dressing table shows me the weather and tells me what to wear. My bread maker knows when I get up and it will make my breakfast. Don’t worry about the house cleaning, because the robot will do it.
Now it’s time for work. Thanks to a “thoughtpad”, I needn’t go to the office anymore and I needn’t use my computer either. A“thoughtpad” looks like a metal band (金属带). I put the “thoughtpad” on my head, clear my mind, and press the sending button (按键), then my workmate can get the message (消息) quickly. So you see, my work is very easy.
In the afternoon, I want to visit my parents. How can I get there? I have a very great car. Believe it or not, I’m sleeping when I’m driving. Is it too dangerous? No! That’s no problem because I have it on automatic pilot (自动驾驶). And with the computers and cameras, the car “knows” how to get me somewhere safely.
Oh, I have a coming call. That’s my friend David, “Hi, Nick, what shall we do this weekend?” he asks, “Shall we drive cars to take a short trip or go for a ride on my plane?” I may say, “Let’s go to the moon in a space ship.”

Bruce and Kelly, brother and sister, enjoy playing different kinds of outdoor games and sports with their friends. Their favorite sports are basketball and soccer. Sometimes they play tennis or baseball.
In just a month they will be high school students, but neither(两者都不) can find out which sport to try out. Bruce is deciding between badminton and volleyball. Kelly is thinking about whether to try a sport she never played, or go with one she knows, like baseball. They are facing a dilemma(窘境)—which sport to play and which sport to give up (放弃).
Maybe many students face the same dilemma. For most students, choosing which sport to do in high school is hard because they never played an organized sport before, and they are not sure what they will most enjoy. For others it is a difficult decision because their friends don’t like to play the same sport.
No matter (不管) what your sports dilemma is, you have to make the decision that is the best for you. Sports are meant to be fun. If there is a sport you really enjoy but you aren’t sure if you can play it well, just try out.
1. What are Kelly’s favorite sports?2. When will Bruce become a high school student?
