    11:00 a.m. Wednesday

    A team have come across an armed man who is holding two baby chimps that were trapped. One of them, David, is sent to a medical emergency in the forest. Later a center director, Nielsen, finds a suitable place to set free more rescued animals.

    7:50 p.m. Thursday

    Lost Building of Britain

    Simon Thurley visits the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, which, before its destruction by Henry Ⅷ, was famous for some of the most amazing stained glasses of its age. It also had a great deal of financial power, acting as the center of an influential business empire.

    Recently, many e-commerce platforms, including Didi Taxi, Ctrip, Fliggy, JD and Taobao, have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers. Their ways are pretty clever. When there are new users or conservative old users, they will give a quite appealing price to attract them into registering and buying goods. However, their big data is not friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors. The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service. How does this happen? According to the data analysis, the system knows clearly that although they feel the price is high, they will finally pay the bill. By collecting and analyzing users' profiles, buying habits and other information, big data recommends the same products to different users with different prices.

    Companies also try other ways to make money, making online consumption far more worrying. For example, video websites always offer 120 seconds' advertisements, which drives people crazy. And even if you pay for the membership to get rid of the ads, you have to "enjoy" 15-second "private" ads. By broadcasting them, companies make huge profits—second to the membership fees. Also, owning 100Mbps network, you still put up with the slow speed when you are downloading a song. You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services. Users seem to be lambs (羊羔) among wolves. Even though they say, "Since you have money, I'll charge you more", we can't do anything about it.

    It pains us that we haven't figured out a way to deal with the problem. The only thing we can do is replacing our iPhones with Android phones if we want to buy a membership card, and applying for new accounts if we want cheaper hotels. Not finding a way to fight back, we can't do anything but accept them passively.

    In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.

    Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They're looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others end in tears.

    Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to (限于) words on a computer screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person's thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.

    Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this focus on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat?

    Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.

    But critics (批评者) of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to worry about what their "nonverbal (不用语言表达的)" communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they're not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it's easy to let one's imagination "fill in the blanks". This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.

    So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen."

    It's Friday morning in the year of 2050, and you're running late. You got carried away watching the music video that is playing in the corner of your bathroom mirror while you were brushing your teeth. How will you get to your office at Mega Giga Industries on time?

    A quick check of your Internet-connected refrigerator tells you your train is a bit behind schedule, too. So you decide to drive your environmentally hydrogen fuel (环保氢燃料) car instead—or rather, let your car drive you. It's programmed to know the way and it will get you there without getting lost.

    Settling into your office chair, which changes color to match what you're wearing, you pick up yesterday morning's newspaper. Printed on reusable electronic paper, it rewrites itself. Now it's time for your big meeting. Uh-oh! You've left your handwritten notes at home. No problem. The smart pen you used has stored an electronic copy of what you wrote.

    Your wristwatch videophone (可视电话) suddenly rings. Your best friend's face pops up on the screen asking what you're doing this weekend. Will you play virtual soccer with the U. S. Olympic team? No, no. Your friend says, so you have to take the new elevator (made of microscopic fibers many times stronger than steel) 60 000 miles into space.

    Could this scene really take place in just a couple of decades? The researchers who are now developing all these things think so. These high-tech products (高科技产品) may be as common in 30 years as cell phones today.

    Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done , there are several ways to handle things. Let's take a look at them now.

    . Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.

    When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then. . It can help to eliminate (消除) future interruptions.

    When you need to talk to someone, don't do it in your own office. , it's much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.

    If you have a door to your office, make good use of it. . If someone knocks and it's not an important matter, excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint (暗示) that when the door is closed, you're not to be disturbed.

A. If you're busy, don't feel bad about saying no

B. If you're in the other person's office or in a public area

C. When you want to avoid interruptions at work

D. Set boundaries for yourself as your time goes

E. It's important that you let them know when you'll be available

F. It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt you

G. Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not

    Sometimes I thought I was a good mom. Sometimes, I felt like I spent the day nagging (唠叨不休) my kids rather than 1them, especially my strong-willed son. 2 a family get-together taught me an important 3.

    My son was ten at the time and we were on a late night family 4 trip to Cleveland for the get-together the next day. I was taking my 5 at the wheel while my husband and my small daughter 6. My son, full of energy, was wide awake in the back seat. I 7 to stay awake, too, and I didn't want to 8 the radio, so I asked him to talk to me to help keep me 9. “Sure, Mom,” he said, "what do you want to 10?" I told him I'd talk about 11 he wanted to talk about. "How about frogs (青蛙)?" he asked. I said that would be 12, and for the next hour or so we talked about the 13 between frogs and toads (蟾蜍) , and 14 —basketball and soccer. He was quite 15 when we talked about Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and how they got to be so famous. Now and then he would 16, but we'd continue to talk as I drove down the 17 road.

    About an hour and a half later, when I finally 18, the bright lights woke everyone, and the magic of our discussion 19. But I knew that I had taken the first step toward changing a bad 20 habit with someone I love very much.

    Everybody in David's class packed their bags and got ready  (go) home last Saturday. Usually David's mother would fetch him home but that day she was not there, so he walked home by himself.

    When he reached home, he knocked on the door as he didn't bring his keys.  (surprising), no one answered the door. He  (knock) again when one of his neighbors  (name) John called him. He told David his mother was out and invited him to stay in his house till his mother came back. David knew that if his mother  (be) at home, she would have answered the door soon. So David went to John's house and played with him.  (stay) in John's house for a few  (hour) , David saw his mother come back. They thanked John and his family. It turned out that David's mother had  serious backache so she had to see the doctor.

     this experience, David has learnt that neighbors are people  help each other. The relationships among neighbors are like building a bridge and they will build a good bridge one day.

The Popular Mobile Payment

    The mobile payment is becoming more and more popular in our daily life.

    One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a carrot nose, beautiful hat, cozy scarf and gloves. He was a masterpiece (杰作) .

    The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high-five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. It was our pride!

    The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something wrong. The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman's once-proud carrot nose lay limp (无力的) and half-eaten.

    What had happened? We were both astonished and angry. But then, we were only kids, who wouldn't have anything taking away our happiness. Actually we knew only one thing: Our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him.

    The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn (草坪) . For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman had fallen apart, and then we built again.

    By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket (水桶) from Mom, filled it with water and left it outside. The next morning, it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block as the base (底座) of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again. The trap was set, and we waited for the snowman bullies (破坏者) to come.
