2 . Do you know what to do when there is an emergency? By calling the police, you can protect yourself and those around you.
Call the police in all of the following emergencies:
◆A crime, such as a theft, especially if it is still in progress.
◆A car accident, especially if someone is injured.
◆Domestic violence (家庭暴力), such as a child being mistreated.
◆Anything else that seems like an emergency.
◆What should you do when you call the police?
◆Dial 110 (the emergency number in China; the number varies from one country to another—in the U. S., you dial 911 to call the police). Stay calm when calling and give your name, address and phone number. Then, tell the person why you are calling (What happened? Where did it happen? When did it happen? Is it still in progress?). Follow any instructions you are given. For example, the dispatcher (调度员) might say, “Stay on the line” or “Leave the building”.
◆If you dial the emergency number by mistake, do not hang up. Doing so could make the dispatcher think an emergency really exists. Instead, just tell the person that you called by mistake. Most police departments have a communication center. The communication center staff reach police officers by radio. Police officers carry headsets, like earphones, to stay in touch with the communication center.

3 . When I was young, I loved and really did well in drawing and art. I won awards, got constant attention, and even saw my face in the newspaper and on television because of my natural ability to draw.
Most people who happen to come across something that they are good at are encouraged to take it and run with it. Of course, my life was no different. From teachers, to principals, to family members, everyone seemed to have a ton of advice to give me in regard to art.
All the while, my true desire was writing. I entered poetry, essay and short-story contests and lost all. It was such a contrast from my artistic competition experience! It was so bad that I had a good friend who told me once, “If you are so good at drawing, why do you even care about writing? Stick to drawing!”
Though well intended, eighteen years later I’m glad I didn’t take his words to heart. Years went by with me still writing and still constantly entering contests. It was not until my first year in college that I finally got honorable mention in a poetry contest. As a writer, I’ve truly grown.
I’m sure there are things in your life that are challenging and yet, rewarding. Endurance, especially when it comes to things you truly love is essential. Take some time to devote some more energy to the thing that didn’t come easy and see what happens.

7 . There were two fishermen named Tom and Jack. They were close friends. One day they went out to catch fish together and have a fish meal in the field. They sat at a distance and started hunting for fish. Tom got a big and beautiful fish in a few minutes. He was so happy and placed the fish in the ice box. He decided to cook the fish at noon. He spent some more time and caught a few more fish. He decided to make a grand meal with the fish. Also, he froze a few fish to take them back home.
After an hour or so, Tom went to Jack to see if he needed any help. Jack said no. In a few minutes, Jack caught a large fish. However, he put it back into the lake. Tom was surprised at his act, but he remained silent. Jack caught more big fish, and put them all back into the lake. Very frustrated, Tom angrily asked him, “Are you mad? Why do you put your fish back into the water? They are beautiful and big!” Jack replied, “I know they are big, but I don’t have the big pan to cook the big fish! So I’m looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan! God is troubling me today.”

8 . Are you troubled by housework, such as cleaning tables or tidying your room? Do you need a helping hand? Recently, the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists at Stanford University in the US became popular online. In the videos posted, we can see the robot preparing dishes on its own. It’s also good at watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes.
Sounds good? Well, another video posted by researchers may disappoint some people. Mobile Aloha isn’t good at doing housework on its own. Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can’t work well without a human “teaching” it. So it may break dishes, bump into (撞上) things and even burn a pot.
The robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time, said the team after they did more research on it. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40 percent. In short, it’s far from perfect.
In fact, AI robots are good at tasks such as math and playing chess, but they face challenges when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha. For example, if its body doesn’t move correctly — even just with a small mistake, its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.

| C．Some disadvantages of robots. | D．Some ways to produce perfect robots. |
| A．EDUCATION. | B．CULTURE. | C．PEOPLE. | D．TECHNOLOGY. |

During ancient times, children didn't have smart phones, iPads or computers to entertainment them. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let's take a look.
| Hide and-seek is a traditional game for children. It's popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to play a trick on him or more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them. |

| Kites have quite a long history in China. The earliest kites weren't made of paper. They were made of wood instead. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite. Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own style. For example. the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite. |
|
| The most similar thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. The artists controlled puppets behind the screen to make them move like people and tell stories. People liked listening to the music and enjoyed the beautiful puppets. |
|
| During the Qing Dynasty (1644 — 1911). kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. |
