There have been many great inventions in the history that change the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today—the wheel.

This made it easy for people to carry heavy things. For hundreds of years after that, there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s, the world started to change greatly. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore（探索）much any more. In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These have all become a big part of our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1946, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon（尼龙）came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. Of course new inventions continued to be made. Men began looking for ways to go into space, Russia made the first step. Then the United States followed. Since then, other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 men took their biggest step away from the earth, Americans first walked on the moon. In 1973, the first practical mobile phone was invented by Dr. Martin Lawrence Cooper. This was certainly just a beginning. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

2. When did the world start to change greatly?

Have you ever heard of the cars without drivers? Don’t be too surprised if you see a car like this going down the road in Beijing these days. It might be one of Baidu company’s driverless cars. Last month, Baidu company began to test its driverless cars on open roads in Beijing. Let’s learn something about the driverless cars. Driverless cars began to be developed in 2010. Since then, companies like Tesla, Uber and Baidu have been working to produce and test their own driverless cars. Driverless cars are safer than common cars. And they are more environmental-friendly than common cars. They are more convenient and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily. But driverless cars have their own problems as well. In one test, researchers pointed a laser pointer at the car’s sensors(传感器) while it was moving. The car mistakenly thought that the laser beam(激光束) was in its way and slowed down or changed its direction. The software(软件) that is used to direct the cars may not be perfect enough. That’s because sometimes it may break down. When we use our computers or smart phones, they sometimes don’t work without any reason. And if this happened while driving, the results could be terrible. Improving the software could be the best way to deal with this problem.

1. Which company tested its driverless cars on open roads in Beijing last month?

2. When did the driverless cars begin to be developed?

Every home should have its family rules. There is a book about family rules called Rules of Love. It says family rules help to make home a better place. In our family, we tape(粘贴) our rules on the wall of the living room. I got them from a friend six years ago, and these rules help us a lot over the years. We tell our children that the family rules follow them wherever(无论何处) they go. These are not just rules for them to follow at our house.

Rules come in different words. But good rules are all easy to understand. And it is important for the children to remember and follow the rules. So don’t have too many rules for your children. For younger children, parents can use pictures to tell them about the rules.

Here are some examples(例子):
*Sit down to eat.
*No fighting. No name-calling(骂人).
*Don’t ask for things in the supermarket.

Limiting (限制) students’ mobile phone use at school Mobile phones have become an important part of our daily lives. However, to protect students’ eyesight, make sure they pay more attention to their studies, primary and middle schools will have more special rules to limit students’ mobile phone use at school. The Ministry of Education gave a notice that limits primary and middle school students’ carrying mobile phone use at school in January, 2021. If they still want to bring their phones into school for some reason, they must get their parents’ and teachers’ permission (许可). The purpose of this new rule is to help students pay more attention to study. According to a 2020 report by the China Internet Network Information Center, China had more than 175 million Internet users under the age of 18 in 2019, with 74 percent having their own mobile phones. This is worrying, because long-time use of mobile phones harms children’s health, according to the World Health Organization. Many schools have taken action to limit students’ phone use at school. Before the new rule, Chen, an English teacher in Foshan, noticed that many students brought their phones to school. Some even played games on them during class. Now the situation has improved since the notice was given in Chen’s school.

1. When was the notice given?
_________________________________
2. How can students be allowed to bring phones into school?

3. How many Internet users under 18 did China have in 2019?

Recently, the result of the national reading survey(调查) has come out and it paints a shining future for reading habits in the Internet times. Last year, more than 20,000 people from China took part in the survey. The survey shows that although the daily reading time and yearly reading number of paper books, printed newspapers and magazines have dropped, digital (数字的) reading has continuously increased. Every day Chinese people use different digital devices like mobile phones, personal computers or iPads for about 100 minutes on average (平均), 15.5 percent higher than the year before.

According to the survey, Chinese people’s reading habits have changed because mobile phones offer people more chances to get different kinds of reading materials on digital platforms. More than 50 percent of the Chinese people who were interviewed prefer digital reading, mostly on mobile phones.

Another interesting result is that more and more people have been interested in listening to audio-books (有声读物) since 2015. More than 30 percent of the people who answered the survey listen to audio-books, higher than the year before. It may have something to do with the way people go to and from work—many people in the countryside drive or take public transport for long hours and it leads to the greater need for audio-books.

People’s reading habits are changing with social changes. In my opinion, the government should pay attention to it and shouldn’t fall behind.

1. How many people took part in the survey?

2. What has continuously increased from the reading survey?

3. What digital devices do Chinese people use to read?
