【推荐2】When Sally was a child, she went to the city park with her mom on a sunny morning. She felt very unhappy. Her mom saw that and asked why. Sally told her mother that she felt so sorry to see so much rubbish on the ground.
Her mom looked around. There were pieces of paper, boxes, glass bottles and a lot of other rubbish everywhere. “What can we do?” asked Sally sadly. “I’m sure you will think of something,” said her mom.
As soon as Sally got home with her mom, she painted a picture of the park and wrote a sign in large black letters at the top of the picture. The sign said, “PLEASE KEEP OUR PARK CLEAN”. Later, she took plenty of bags and went back to the park with her mom. Sally put up her picture on a big rubbish box.
The children at the park ran over to see what was going on. Sally handed each of them a bag. “Let’s clean up this place,” said Sally. Then they began to pick up the rubbish, talking and laughing. Soon, all the bags were full.
Then Sally’s mom led them to put the rubbish into different kinds of rubbish boxes. When they looked at the clean park, they all had a strong feeling of satisfaction.

The Hillside Village Hour Exchange (交换) is a project whose idea came from the international Time Bank movement. The starters of this project recognize that every person can offer services to other people as well as receive services. The unit of exchange is one hour of time. Villagers who agree to join this project can earn a time credit (信用) for every hour they help meet the needs of another villager. Then when they are in need of others’ help, they can spend the credits they get getting services from others. Services for exchange include helping in the home, taking care of the elders and the kids, moving, repairing, gardening, computer service and pet care etc.
Here is how it goes. Leo joins this project and fills in a form on our website, writing down the skills he has and the things he needs. Mary visits our website and searches our Time & Talents page for people who provide shopping service and decides to get in touch with Leo. Leo returns her call and helps her get the things she wants from the village store. Leo then records the time credits he earned online and spends them having Tom play the piano at his party. Tom spends his credits having Lisa help his son little Danny with his math homework. This can go on and on as you like.
For more information, visit www. HEhillsidevillage.com or call Mr. Smith，our project director at 2569-9854 (9 a.m.—4 p.m.).

When doing his math homework, Lu Lifei, from Jiangsu Province, came across a problem. He couldn’t work it out. So he took out his cellphone, started a special app and searched for the problem. Answers soon appeared on the screen.
Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet like Lu. They search for information online, use apps or discuss through social tools like QQ and WeChat.
“It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait or get a tutor on the spot.” Lu said. “You also learn by seeing how others work problems out.”
“It also improves students’ abilities,” said Wang Shiying, from Shanghai. “And it’s especially true for new types of homework.”
Wang’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give lectures on great authors. When it comes to Wang’s turn, she usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations.
“I’ve become adept（熟练的）at searching for information online and using Microsoft Office,” Wang said. However, this trend also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy. Huang Pengxiang, a head teacher from Shanxi, said that knowing how to use the Internet was important. The key is to have good self-control.
“No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently first,” Huang said. “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t make progress. If you’re not confident about your self-control, ask your parents for help.”

【推荐3】Dark clouds appear over the River Mersey and a cold wind is blowing. A few raindrops are beginning to fall. We’re in the famous city of Liverpool and we’re going to spend this rainy day in the Williamson Tunnels, which were built by a man named Joseph Williamson.
Joseph Williamson was born into a poor family in 1769. At the age of 11, he left home and went to work for a tobacco company. He began at the bottom and worked his way up to become head of the business.
Williamson spent 30 years building these tunnels. From his death to this very day, these tunnels have remained a puzzle to researchers. Nobody knows why Williamson dug tunnels under most of Liverpool, but many think it was to create jobs. It is believed that about half of Liverpool’s population worked for him.
I go on a guided tour starting close to where his empire (集团) began in Edge Hill. In the tunnels, the steps leading from rooms below ground to those buildings, which no longer exist, seem particularly ghostly (幽灵似的).
We go into the Double Tunnel. It’s just been discovered that it’s actually a triple tunnel – but nobody knows why the three tunnels were built on top of each other.
We finish the tour and decide we’ll have coffee in the Williamson Tunnels Cafe Bar. There, I notice lots of flyers (宣传单) for bands and theater groups that are coming to play there.
Apart from the obvious attractions like the football clubs, or anything to do with the Beatles, Liverpool has a lot to offer. You should definitely visit Liverpool.
1. How was the weather in Liverpool when the writer arrived there?2. Who was Joseph Williamson?
3. According to some people, why did Williamson dig tunnels under Liverpool?
4. What are Paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about?
5. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?
