1 . It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.
First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain（劳损）, headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.
Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect（影响） how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.
Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.
To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours.

2 . The world’s longest cross-sea bridge——the 55-km-long Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge （HZMB） opened on Oct 24, 2018. The Guardian described it as one of the “seven wonders of the modern world”.
Construction（建筑工程）on the HZMB began in 2009 and cost about 120 billion yuan. The bridge links Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai.
The HZMB is unique in many ways. It’s designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges.
And it’s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel（隧道）and part island. In one section, the bridge turns into a 6.7-km undersea tunnel that passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world’s longest undersea tunnel for road traffic, allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel.
The bridge’s engineers had to consider many environmental factors in order to protect the surrounding（周围的）environment while building the bridge. Chinese white dolphins, an endangered species that lives in the area, were a particular concern（关注）.
The HZMB will make it much more convenient to travel between the three areas it connects. It will shorten the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai from four hours to about 45 minutes.
By drawing local cities and regions closer together, the bridge will help in the area’s development. It is expected to drive the economic（经济的）development of Hong Kong, Macao and nine Guangdong cities.

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives. Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a lower price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were. Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. For these, there will be a new library in our city. It is free for everyone. There are some rules. You must follow: 1. You can read books there or take the books you like to your home. 2. If you break the book you must compensate two times. 3. You must keep the books clean and you don’t talk aloud. 4. Remember it is open at 9:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday. |

4 . Before there were airplanes, people dreamed of flying. They told stories about flying people. One old story is about a young man named Icarus. He and his father wanted to get away from a bad king. So Icarus’ father made wings, and they used them to fly away. Years ago, people also tried to make flying machines. Most of them did not work. But today, flying is not just a dream. Today, big airlines carry many passengers. But some people enjoy flying in small planes. In 2014, a young man flew around the world. His name is Matt Guthmiller. He was only 19 years old, but he flew by himself. His trip took six weeks. He stopped 25 times in 14 countries. He is the youngest person to fly around the world.
Many people now dream of flying into space. And their dreams may soon come true. Many companies are building space planes. They will take people on short flights to space. Space tourism will be expensive at first. But over time, it should become much cheaper. Then more people’s dreams of flying will come true.
