On Monday morning, I was on my way to school when suddenly as I saw a boy knocked down by the car. In a hurry, I ran over and found the boy was serious hurt with much blood on his face. Immediately, I call an ambulance and the boy was taking to the nearest hospital. To my relief, the boy was fine and would recover in a few day. I went away without giving his name. I was late for class, and I felt happy for what I had done. As a proverb says, “Help others is the source of happiness.” I feel it our duty make the world a better place to live in.
4 . For many people, going a few hours without your smartphone can feel like a lifetime. Now, one expert claims that humans are becoming so dependent on technology, that we’re actually merging (融合) into it.
Speaking at the Fast Company European Innovation Festival, Professor Yuval Noah Harari, a historian at the Hebrew University claimed that it’s becoming more and more difficult to tell where humans end and machines begin. He said: “It’s increasingly hard to tell where I end and where the computer begins. In the future, it is likely that the smartphone will not be separated from you at all. It may be embedded in your body or brain, constantly scanning your biometric data and your emotions.”
During his speech, Professor Harari highlighted how humans have affected our environment over time, and suggested that now may be the time to affect ourselves. He said: “Humanity has always remained constant. If we told our ancestors in the Stone Age about our lives today, they would think we are already Gods. But the truth is that even though we have developed more wonderful tools, we are the same animals. We have the same emotions, the same minds. The coming revolution will change that. It will change not just our tools, it will change the human being itself.”
If we do manage to merge with machines, Professor Harari suggests it could open the door to setting up civilizations beyond Earth. He added: “Life will be able to break out of planet Earth and no longer be confined to this flying rock.”
While Professor Harari’s claims may sound farfetched (牵强的), he isn’t alone in his vision of a machine-human world. Back in 2017, Elon Musk claimed that humans should merge with machines, or risk becoming irrelevant. He said: “Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.”

5 . It’s normal to long for the taste of potato chips or a cheese-covered pizza. Even though they’re full of calories, eating them occasionally won’t do much harm. However, according to the new numbers, young people are becoming more gluttonous. The BBC’s Good Food Nation Survey showed that on average, 16 to 20-year-olds ate fast food at least twice a day in the UK. So what’s behind this fast food binge (狂热)?
WebMD, an online publisher of news and information of human health and well-being, surveyed nearly 600 teenagers and adults in the United States. They found that the most common reason was our busy lifestyle. More than 92.3 percent of respondents said they were too busy to cook. Many find it challenging to balance work and life, and the convenience of fast food meets their needs. Fast food is readily available in corner stores and vending machines (自动售货机). Remember those instant noodle cups from the supermarket? They’re ready in minutes, and you can store them at home for a long time.
But many people think this trend does no good. Sarah Toule, head of health information at World Cancer Research Fund, told the BBC: “It’s frightening that people, especially younger generations, are eating so much fast food loaded with fat, sugar and salt, but offers little nutritional value.”
She added, “Especially high in calories, fast food leads to unhealthy weight gain-which in turn increases the risk of 11 cancers later in life.”
So what is the right thing to do? Toule suggested that young people should prepare meals in advance and learn to include the different food groups in their diets.

6 . How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.
For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have access to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览)the Internet.
A few other tips
•Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
•Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.
•Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
•And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

| B．to buy some search engines for the children |
| C．to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet |
| D．to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong |
| A．Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children. |
| B．Children’s not having access to Internet may have effect on their progress |
| C．Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet. |
| D．Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them. |

8 . Fantasy literature, a reading genre(类型)that was introduced from the Western world, has recently been developing rapidly in China. It is now popular among not only adult readers but also children.
A forum (论坛会)was recently held in Beijing during which participants agreed that such development trend would have an increasingly strong effect on children’s literature in China. Xu Dexia, direetor of China Children’s Press and Publishing Group, believes fantasy fiction will continue to heat up in China this year though it is still in its beginning.
Of the fantasy literature, science fiction is the most popular with children. 13-year-old Liu Wangding is a great fan of such books. He said, “I like reading science fiction, and one of my favorite books is 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea. Fantasy literature satisfies my curiosity, and I’m always interested in learning about science.”
A senior editor of children’s literature at the People’s Literature Publishing House, Feng Zhen, says it is good to see that fantasy literature becomes popular in China. Fantasy literature is purely imported from Western countries. Chinese authors took some time to get used to it before being able to produce such stories of their own. That is why there has been blank in the domestic market. With the Harry Potter storied introduced into China, such books quickly became popular in this country.
“Even though Western fantasy literature is popular, Chinese children still have difficulty fully appreciating such stories simply because of different cultural backgrounds,” Feng Zhen said. “Therefore, Chinese writers have a huge role to play in helping develop this branch of literature for our young readers.”
Feng Zhen praised the success of Luoling’s Magic, a best seller written by Chinese writer Chen Liuhuan. The book tells a 13-year-old alien girl growing up on Earth. The series has sold 1. 6 million copies since hitting the shelves.
