★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus* on lots of dates and facts* in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.
★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.
★Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved.
The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao.
In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, Shanxi Province. There he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills.
It was easier said than done. It took the father and son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.
But the father and son did not stop there. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone.

【推荐3】Sometimes the hardest thing about feelings is sharing them with others. Sharing your feelings helps you both when your feelings are good and when they aren’t so good. Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.
Before you can share your feelings with someone, you have to know what feelings you have. Making a list of your feelings can help. You can do this in your head or by writing them out on a piece of paper, or even by drawing pictures.
If you’re feeling sad, worried or upset, you’d better tell someone. If you keep such feelings locked inside, they can even make you feel sick! So if you talk with someone who cares about you, like your mom or dad, you will start to feel better. But what if you don’t want to talk with your mom or dad? Then find another trusted (可信赖的) adult. Maybe this person can help you talk with your mom and dad about your problem.
When you have known who you can talk with, you need to pick a time and a place to talk. If you think it’s hard to say what’s in your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. If the person doesn’t understand what you mean, try explaining it in a different way. Is there anything you think could be done to make things better? If so, say it.

【推荐2】It happens every night — bedtime. But what will you do if you’re not sleepy? Should you still go to bed if you are just going to lie there with your eyes wide open?
There are many reasons why you are not able to fall asleep. You might be excited by something you did that day. You might be excited about what you’re going to do next day. Maybe you can’t fall asleep because you don’t like sleeping all alone in your room. All of these reasons are normal. However, there are some steps you can take to help you fall asleep.
One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re thinking about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help ease (宽慰) your mind so that you can rest.
It also helps to sleep in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room. If there’s anything in your room that makes you feel afraid at night, like a picture that looks strange in the dark, be sure to ask one of your parents if it can be moved.
If you are usually sleepless around bedtime, you can take a warm bath, or listen to a story at least 30 minutes before you want to go to sleep. It also helps to go to sleep at the same time every night. As a result, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep.

【推荐1】We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G technology might change our lives in the future. 5G promises internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than the present 4G systems. The technology is also built to deal with many more users without slowing services down. Such improvements are sure to be popular for 5G users worldwide.
While 5G is set to start in some limited areas of the United States this year, much of the rest of the world is not expected to receive such service widely until 2023.
One project called 5G Rural First in Britain, though, is already testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of internet users-cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate（自动化）the milking process.
Testing areas are set up at farms in three countries of England. The cows are fitted with 5G devices（装置）that connect to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors（传感器）and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each cow. It then sets machine to the right height for milking. During the process, machines give food to the cow in return.
In one of the test areas, about 50 of the farm's 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart devices and health-watching sensors. Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors allow farmers to immediately discover any problems such as health problems.
Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that turn on when the cow touches them. Sensors also control the supply of light in the cows' living areas depending on the weather. And an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.
Nick Chrissos works on the project. He said the system can connect every cow, and every other animal on the whole farm. “That's what 5G can do for farming—really free the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world.”
1. What's Paragraph 4 mainly about?| A．How the system automates the milking process. |
| B．How the technology knows when to milk cows. |
| C．How the designers connect 5G devices to cows. |
| D．How the testing areas were set up in the countries. |

| D．test the technology on both cows and people |

【推荐3】Many people like shopping, and most women like to buy clothes. But do you know how to buy clothes? Here are some suggestions for you to pay attention to:
First, when you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.
Second, there are labels inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label（标签） for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say" Dry clean only", for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions on the label tell, you can keep your clothes looking nice for a long time.

Fourth, you can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after you have washed them many times.
