Anyone with a phone has probably dropped it in water or been caught in a rainstorm. And many seem to think that putting a wet phone in uncooked rice will save it. However, the technology company said it is a bad idea because tiny pieces of rice can get into the phone and cause damage.
So what should you do instead? If the phone is dropped in water, dry it with a clean cloth, even a shirt will do. Turn the phone off if you can. Remove (移除) the SIM card and cover. Take away the battery (电池), if possible. And let everything dry at room temperature, perhaps with a fan running. Since you cannot take an iPhone apart, Apple says to tap the phone against your hand with the phone facing down so water can get out.
Samsung, the biggest maker of Android phones, suggests using a cotton ball to get water out. Apple, however, advises against putting one inside iPhone. Both Apple and Samsung say to leave the phone out in an open area to dry. More importantly, do not use a hair dryer or put the phone in a fridge.
If your phone is dropped in seawater or a drink, Samsung advises to keep it in clean water for a few minutes. Doing that will remove any salt that could hurt the phone.
The phone makers say it is hard to know when phones are completely dry. But it will probably take a few days. Samsung says it is still a good idea to bring the phone in for service even if you can turn it back on again.

【推荐2】All of us may have experienced embarrassing（令人尴尬的）moments. It could have been the time when you pronounced a simple word wrong in class, wore your T-shirt backwards, or secretly（秘密地）tried to take a picture of someone while the flash was on.
Though these embarrassing moments don’t hurt us a lot, they come back from time to time and make us feel upset. Even if these moments may have faded after some time, we would always remember the feeling of strong embarrassment. In fact, these feelings may last for years. When these kinds of feelings return, they are known as a “cringe attack（羞愧综合症）”
I get a quite uncomfortable feeling when I think back on a party my parents took me to when I was younger. I ate a bowl of strawberries by myself. My parents shouted at me—in front of everyone—for being so selfish （自私的）. From then on, every time I put a strawberry into my mouth, my brain just throws that embarrassing scene back.
Why do these “cringe attacks” still show up in our daily lives even though the events happened weeks, months, or even years ago? According to experts, our brains give special attention to feelings that can be easily noticed. The stronger the feeling is, the stronger the memory will be. If you have a highly emotional （情绪激动的）moment, your brain will try to catch it.
So how can we deal with this? Well, we can start by trying to be more objective（客观的）about our past selves. Consider that you are not alone in your embarrassment—everyone fails or makes silly, embarrassing mistakes. Instead of just trying to forget what we did, we should try to accept who we were at that moment and think about how we can change for the better.

Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized(排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.
Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.
Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company(KFC) in the world.
To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

【推荐3】Could cities that float on the sea solve the problems caused by floods and provide food for the world?
Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.
In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.
They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.
DeltaSync says building in the desert is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.
More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.
Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says, “We have plans for neighborhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”
1. Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?| A．Providing more jobs for people. | B．Satisfying more people’s housing needs. |
| C．Supplying enough water to people. | D．Making travel in space possible. |
| A．There are floating homes in one of its cities. | B．It has found many fossil fuels recently. |
| C．Two thirds of its land is covered by water. | D．Its population is increasing quickly. |
| A．He doubts them. | B．He has no idea about them. |
| C．He is uncertain about them. | D．He is hopeful of them. |
| A．Will there be enough water? | B．Is it possible to live in the desert? |
