Whether you’re a grandparent who takes care of the little ones once or twice a week and is looking for interesting ways to keep them entertained, or a long-distance grandparent relying on technology to stay in touch, we’ve got you covered with the best apps for grandparents.


Story Patch (iPad)
Great for boosting creativity amongst the little ones, but also a challenge that you and the pint-sized writer of your family can do together. The app allows children to create their own themed tale, paired with a choice of over 800 illustrations.

JBaby Grandparents Frame (iPad, iPhone, Android)

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Perfect for grandparents who want nothing more than to be involved in every step of their grandchild’s development. It does require a Wi-Fi frame to work, but this can be bought from an electronic store.


Zero to Three - Let’s Play (iPad, iPhone, Android)
With a little help during play time, anything is possible. The app features “boredom killers” and provides fun ideas categorized specifically by age group. Particularly useful when looking after babies or toddlers.

Little Peanut on the Go (iPad, iPhone)

Ideal for parents who want to stay well-connected to their caregivers and children while away. It allows them to share schedules with you if you’re in charge of the grandchildren and it may just give them some peace of mind if they’re leaving their children for the first time.


Toilet Finder (iPad, iPhone)
Especially useful when you happen to find yourself in a sticky spot (after your grandchild has alerted you to their “need” at the last minute, of course). Through ‘satellite navigation’ signals, your phone or tablet tracks the nearest loo to your current location. A potential life-saver when you’re out and about.

This year at the Olympic Games in Rio, you might stumble across a pretty interesting sight outside of the various stadiums holding competitions around the city.
Meet Chen Guanming, a 60-year-old Chinese farmer who pedaled his rickshaw (人力车) all the way from China to Rio. He calls himself “Olympic madman,” and surely he deserves it: this is the third Olympic Games he rode to. Brazilians welcomed him with the best friendship and a splendid show after he arrived in Rio a week earlier.
Seventeen years ago, he embarked the crazy adventure as an Olympics chaser: he toured around China before attending the Beijing Olympics in 2008, then made it to London in 2012, and now he’s in Rio. He plans to finish his global journey in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics.
He doesn’t really have money, but strangers he met on the road have been pouring support to him: a heartfelt encouragement, a warm meal, or a lift up a hill — the rickshaw, his good buddy, carries all his luggage and weighs as heavy as 400 pounds.
Zsofia Korodi, a Hungarian living in London, set up a Facebook fan page after being “inspired by his actions,” so that supporters keep track of him. That way his journeys are pieced together, and people call out the next town to look out and take care of him. When there’s water to cross, people he met fly him over, and he will patiently wait for the rickshaw to arrive by ship.
Chen spent two years, traveled almost 40,000 miles to get to the London Olympics. For Rio, he hopped a plane to Canada and then made his way from Canada through the US, South America to Rio. Chen said he does it all to enhance the Olympic spirit. “My biggest hope is to encourage the vulnerable, the weak, and those who are afraid of challenges.”
In Rio, he’s apparently becoming an Olympic celebrity— a sportsman that compete out of the fields, with himself and gets stopped wherever he goes to take pictures. Even though he couldn’t watch the games at the scene, he’s completely happy by helping to pick trash and clean the surrounding areas of the stadiums. That’s what the Olympics is about. “It is to challenge the boundaries, to compete in a friendly manner, and to win the honor of the higher calling.” He said.
See you in Japan in 2020, Mr. Chen!
【1】Mr. Chen calls himself “Olympic madman” because ________.
A. he has a bad temper whenever Olympic Games come
B. he rides to Olympic Games as a crazy Olympics chaser
C. he becomes super busy with his business in Olympic season
D. he gets splendid results every time he competes in Olympic Games
【2】Which city didn’t Mr. Chen ride to for Olympic Games?
A. Beijing B. Rio
C. London D. Tokyo
【3】Why did Mr. Chen ride to Rio?
A. He wanted to win the honor of Olympics at the scene.
B. He planned to challenge and compete in a friendly manner.
C. He hoped to promote the Olympic spirit and encourage others.
D. He intended to pick trash and clean the surrounding areas of the stadiums.
【4】Which word can be used to describe Mr. Chen best?
A. Enthusiastic B. Intelligent
C. Sensitive D. Competitive.

If you were to travel anywhere in the globe— even to visit remote tribes (部落人) who have little contact with the larger world — would people be able to read your emotions from your facial expressions and would you be able to read theirs?
Charles Darwin argued in The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals that basic facial expressions are universal — suggesting that they are hard-wired within us as the product of natural selection. In other words, you would know if someone looked happy, or sad, etc., wherever you were in the world.
Since Darwin’s day, researchers have, indeed, traveled to faraway corners of the world to test the “universality theory”. Paul Ekman, professor of psychology at UC San Francisco and inspiration for the TV show Lie To Me, reported that even Fore tribesmen of New Guinea could look at photos of people from other cultures and identify what emotions were displaying.
Since Ekman’s work, other papers have tested the universality theory and occasionally challenged it. Rachael Jack of the University of Glasgow and co-authors used computer graphics to produce facial animations (动画). They then showed these animations to 15 Western Caucasian people far away from countryside and 15 East Asian from modern cities. They were asked to divide the facial expressions into groups.
This is what they found: They did get six groups from the Western Caucasians. But the results between emotion groups from the East Asians were complexed. They believe this suggests modern cultural factors have a greater influence than before.
【1】Charles Darwin held the view in his book that ________.
A. facial expressions are understood by all
B. facial expressions are easy to read
C. man and animals share the same emotions
D. some facial expressions can cause confusion
【2】According to the third paragraph, Fore tribesmen of New Guinea ________.
A. were confused by the photos
B. read the facial expressions in wrong ways
C. could recognize the basic facial expressions
D. had different facial expressions from city people
【3】Since Darwin, all papers have tested the “universality theory” and _______.
A. no authors have agreed
B. all authors have found the same results
C. some papers have been lost
D. some authors have expressed different ideas
【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP:central point P1-P3: Point 1-Point 3 SP: sub-point C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
