Listen to your books
With the development of technology and the Internet, there is a new trend(趋势)in reading audiobooks. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year's national reading report.

On May 24, Theresa May gave a public speech outside Downing Street. She made the decision to resign(辞职)as the UK's prime minister(首相)after failing to pass Brexit- a plan to separate(使脱离)the UK from the European Union (EU).
May broke down in tears as she finished her speech. Many people have wondered what she’s like in her personal life.
May, who was born in 1956, is the UK's second female(女性的)prime minister after Margaret Thatcher. She had to overcome many challenges to get to this position. When she was a child, she dreamed about becoming the first female prime minister of Britain. One of her childhood friends told reporters that she had gotten angry when Thatcher became the first female prime minister before her.
May studied geography at Oxford University. After graduating, she worked in the bank. In 1997 she was elected(选举)as a member of Parliament(议会).
In June 2016, the prime minister (前首相)David Cameron decided to leave the business of Brexit behind him for May to deal with.
When May became prime minister, she was ambitious(有雄心的)about Brexit. However, she felt tired after many failed talks with the EU.
Still, I am very inspired by May. She is a strong woman who fought hard to make good deals (交易)with the EU. Although she failed most of the time, she still got up and carried on. She will go down in history.

It's important to teach children to create strong passwords(密码).①So why not remind them that passwords mustn’t be shared with anyone?
A strong password is a word that is as difficult as possible to guess because it looks like a set of random characters(随机的字符).
It's wise to use the whole keyboard to mix a password with letters, numbers and symbols. A password of 14 characters or more may be much safer.
The following tips will tell you how to create a strong and safe password:
Tip 1: ②Think of a sentence that is easy to remember, but difficult to guess. For example: "My son Peter is five years old and my daughter Tina is one year old." ③这个句子太长以至于它不可能是一个密码. So what you can do is to use the first letter of each word to make a new password that seems to be meaningless. That is "mypifyoamdtioyo"
Tip 2: ④Make the password more difficult to guess by mixing big and small letters. One way to do this is to use big and small letters one after another. In this way this new password will be "MsPiFyOaMdTiOyO".
Tip 3: Still using the sentence above, you can also add numbers that are meaningful to you. As a result, the new password will be "Mspi5yOaMdTilyO".
Tip 4: Add punctuation(标点符号)and symbols to make the password much stronger. You. may use symbols, numbers and punctuation to take the place of some letters which look similar. For example: "MsPi3y0@MdTi! y0". (o=0, a=@, 1=!)
⑤对我们来说记住这些提示很有必要. They can help us to keep our personal information safe.
