【推荐1】One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed. The 13-year-old saw that the desks were no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make six bigger desks.
The new arrangement(排列) was part of a reform(改革) at Fan's school, Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan. About five weeks ago, more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way, with six to eight students sitting in groups.
"This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,"said Liu Xu,na school head teacher. "Our school hopes it can improve students' abilities(能力) for self-study as well as teamwork."
The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to."I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days," said Fan. But soon she and her classmates got used to it." Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),"said Fan. "What's more,we can express our own ideas and learn others' through discussion. It's a better way to study."
Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying. The 14-year-old said, "Group members first discuss,and then explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class."
"The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,"said Feng."We can also improve our friendships."
The reform has asked for more from teachers.They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class."It is a big challenge to teach in such short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes,"English teacher Wang Jing said."We have to improve methods to teach better. We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them."
Wang said that some students always talk. The teachers have to move continuously in the classroom to keep them quiet and get them to concentrate on class."It demands more, but I believe it will pay off,"Wang added.

【推荐2】Mangshui village is in Yunnan. Most adults in the area work in the city, leaving their children behind at home. The children could hardly meet their parents in a year.
Several years ago, Kang Yu arrived at the village school as a teaching volunteer. He found these children didn’t know how to express their emotions (情绪) properly. To give an outlet (发泄途径) for their emotions, Kang began to teach them to write poetry (诗). At first, the children didn’t even know what poetry was. After a few months, more and more students fell in love with writing poems.
Kang was surprised that when writing poetry, students were a little different. In the past, they liked making trouble in class. But gradually they became quiet in poetry class. In their poems, sometimes they wrote about loneliness and sadness when missing their parents. And sometimes they wrote happy memories around them. A boy who spent little time with his father handed in a poem: “Ten years later, I want to be a father like the sea, and I’ll let my children sit on my back, which is like a boat for them.” These young poets (诗人) became better at writing poems.
Poetry cannot help children solve their problems in life, but at least students can take poetry writing as a way to express their emotions and see the beauty in life. “When children love life, it is possible for them to reduce pain or find new happiness,” said Kang.

【推荐3】A primary school headmaster became a star on the Internet for dancing with his students.
Zhang Pengfei works in Xiguan Primary School in Linyi, Shanxi Province. Every morning, he leads 700 pupils to do the “ghost shuffle” routine（跳鬼步舞操） on the playground. They dance for 30 minutes every day. They like dancing more than doing the old exercise routine, so they don’t do the old one now.
“I thought we needed a change because the students lost interest in doing the old exercise routine though it was useful for pupils” Zhang told the reporter. After all, they started to do the old exercise routine in 1951.
Mr. Zhang saw a group of people doing the “ghost shuffle” routine by accident. Then he decided to learn it on his own. “I thought the dance would be great for kids,” he said, “The music is energetic and it really makes children relax.” In October 2018, he introduced the dance to all the pupils of his school. Soon even teachers and workers there joined in the activity.
“Now the pupils don’t keep playing games on their phones. Sometimes they watch different dancing videos and learn new moves!” the headmaster said.

【推荐1】Few parents can hear the words “What can I do to help?” from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on video games, computers and mobile phones, so they help less with housework.
Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China’s Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits. But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can’t see the advantages of students doing such chores. They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally (同等地) important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks, because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some will complain the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some will even challenge the schools’ teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students’ best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility (责任感) into students’ minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students’ in-school experiences more meaningful.

【推荐1】Since 12th May, a computer virus (病毒) named WannaCry has infected (感染) more than 300,000 computers in over 150 countries, according to Reuters.
WannaCry is spread by using a weakness in Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Once the virus gets into the computer, it locks all the papers and asks the user for money to unlock them. At first, it asks for $300, but if the user doesn’t send the money in 72 hours, the price doubles. Papers are locked forever if the user doesn’t pay in seven days.
The virus has brought bad results. For example in the UK, the virus left the country’s National Health Service in a mess. Some hospitals had to cancel (取消) patient appointments (预约), reported The Telegraph. In China, the virus has hit thousands of computers, according to Qihoo 360. One of the most hard-hit groups in China was university users. Many students’ graduation papers were locked. They felt nervous and frightened. Also many gas stations were seriously hit, and the payment system didn’t work.
WannaCry is the latest example of a cyber security (网络安全) problem. Matthew Hickey (who set up the security company Hacker House) said, “The attack is not surprising. It shows that many organizations do not use updates (更新) fast enough.” According to a survey, nearly half of the people said, “We are not satisfied with the way software updates work.”
As China Daily wrote, “We can’t completely protect our computers against these kinds of viruses, as this cat and mouse game will continue forever. The best choice for most users is to take care online and always install (安装) software updates.”
根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）误（F）。1. If your papers are locked by WannaCry, you need to pay $ 600 to unlock them in 3 days.
2. Matthew Hickey thinks the attack on computers is very surprising.
3. Not all the people are pleased with the way software updates work.

In the United States， the proud parents of a new baby often put something on their front door. It’s an exciting time for them， and they want to share the good news with their neighbors. For example， they put balloons（气球）on their door. Pink balloons mean the baby is a girl. Blue ones are for boys.
