【推荐1】A live-streaming App that monitors (监控) students in classrooms in some middle schools has raised a lot of online discussion. It was reported that anyone who uses the App DingTalk could see inside classrooms. Some parents have praised the App for giving them the chance to monitor their children, while others are worried about privacy (隐私) problems. The newspaper Shanghai Star did a survey. Here are some replies they received.
| Zhang Xiaoru, 16 I strongly support this App. Nowadays, children play an important role in the whole family, and parents always want to care for their children, wherever they are. This new platform helps parents see what their children are doing in classes. It’s also a good way to make students behave themselves in school. |
| Du Yina, 15 I’m in favor of this app if parents get their children’s permission (准许) first. The App could help parents know children’s bad habits. It could also be used as a tool to prevent being hurt. However, parents should get their permission first to protect their privacy. |
| Zhao Xuehan, 16 I think this App is a bad idea. Schools should be a pleasant and relaxing place for students to study and play. But we will feel uncomfortable if cameras are watching us all the time. We should pay attention to our privacy. Our lives shouldn’t be watched by the public. |
| Zhang Liliang, 15 Any form of privacy invasion (侵犯) shouldn’t be allowed. Although some parents want to know more about their children, they should do it in a better way. Being under the eye of strangers is too dangerous. |
1. The live-streaming App can ________.
| A．play videos students like in class | B．monitor students in classroom |

Chinese mythological creatures (神兽) come into the spotlight, appearing in the Fantastic Beasts movie series.
In the second Fantastic Beasts movie, audiences enjoyed watching The zouwu, a creature from The Classic of Mountains and Seas (《山海经》). In the third Fantastic Beasts movie, The Secrets of Dumbledore, it’s the qilin’s time to shine.
The qilin in the wizarding (魔法) world is a very rare creature, only found in East China.
With a head like a dragon and a body like a deer or horse, the qilin is seen as a gentle creature in Chinese culture. It can tell between good and evil and can even bring luck, said China Daily. There are ancient stories of court trials (法庭审判) based on the qilin’s knowledge of whether a person was good or evil.
There are other mythical creatures that crisscross (交错于) cultures, too. In Chinese culture, the phoenix (凤凰) is very important. It stands for luck and is the “king of birds”. In the West, it stands for immortality and rebirth, rising from the ashes (灰烬) of a fire.
Although they look alike, dragons in China and the West are very different beasts. The dragon is a respected creature in China, symbolizing good luck. But in the West, they represent evil, greed (贪婪) and destruction (毁灭), said the website Top China Travel.

【推荐3】As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger.
Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm(损害)done by radiation won’t be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been found.
Space rubbish is also a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites(卫星), 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to deal with space rubbish.
Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.
