3 . Jordan Mittler has been spending weekends teaching seniors in New York how to use technology for years, but he never expected he would be streaming(直播) a class about smartphones and computers on smartphones and computers.

The Manhattan resident has patiently taught texting, emailing and video chatting to dozens of seniors for years, beginning when his grandparents first got smartphones. Teaching them how to use apps and send messages inspired the tech-savvy(懂科技知识的) teen to offer his services to more older people. At age of 12, he created a formal course and started hosting free, hour-long sessions for seniors every Sunday. Immediately, he was flooded with interested participants. His course, spread out over 10 weeks, was an instant success.

But when the coronavirus hit New York City, Jordan had to end his classes. He wasn’t sure if he could move the lessons on line— it was much easier to help students understand their devices in person—but he knew the importance of keeping older folks connected online. Most of the attendees were retired or lived alone and needed to find ways to connect with family members remotely. “It gives them somewhere to be and something to do,” he said.

So he spent a week ensuring each student could use Zoom, an online video chat platform. For most of the seniors, that meant calling them individually with step-to-step instructions. Since then, online classes have been going smoothly.

His project, Mittler Senior Technology, has taught Jordan the value of making inter-generational relationships. He frequently invites his teenage friends to participate in his classes, hoping more young people will take time to help older relatives or neighbors.

“Any kid in our generation can show their grandparents how to send an email,”he said. “It’s very important to spend as much time with them as you can.”For family members trying to help older relatives surf the Internet, Jordan has some advice. He suggests starting with basic applications, like email or texting. From there, it’s easier to learn how to navigate more complex apps and websites. “Patience is really key,”he said.

4 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My dad is a helpful police off and I respect him very much. In his spare time, he likes volunteering to give lectures on law to the children in our community.

I remember my father took a special care of a family made up of a struggling single father, Jack, and his three sons. The elder boys seemed kind and understanding while the youngest boy, Tom, was naughty and wild. When helping Jack in life and work, my father always taught his children to obey the law.

During one visit, my dad and Jack had a deep conversation. During their talk, Jack expressed his concern about the future of his youngest boy, and said, “As we know, Tom is a clever boy, but he is too competitive. He always behaves badly at school. For some reason, he fought with his classmate again yesterday. I don’t know how to deal with him.” Obviously, he felt powerless to guide Tom. So, he asked for my father’s advice and ideas. “Will you allow your boy to leave the city for a few days? I want to take him to spend the summer with my son in the suburbs(郊区) of our hometown.” My dad offered the only solution he could think of on the spot. However, Jack agreed and was grateful to my father.

My dad decided that it would be good for Tom to see another side of family life, which he had never been experiencing. Then he discussed the plan with me. I couldn’t agree more.

When the summer vacation came, we had a new member, Tom, in our family. Although we seemed very unfamiliar to him, he had no trouble adapting to the new home environment. Amazingly, we found that he was an honest and open boy and got along well with the whole family. He seemed to like playing in the backyard and particularly enjoyed swimming in the pool. Wherever my father went, he took both of us with him. It wasn’t long before Tom and I became good friends. I felt so lucky to have him with me, and I even shared everything interesting with him.
