     Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.

More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, people who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined(罚款). Car drivers and motorcyclists who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$3, 000 and NT$1, 000 respectively(分别地).

As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let's have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away quickly. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It's strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.

Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let's be “healthy’’ users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.

    Have you ever heard someone use the phrase "once in a blue moon"? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate "once in a blue moon". Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say "I visit the shore（海滨）once in a blue moon." While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

    The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase "blue moon" has something to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.

As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon (新月). A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail（指甲）. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a "blue moon".

    Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event（稀罕事件）. This fact has led people to use the expression "once in a blue moon" to describe other very rare events in their lives.

    A hobby is an activity we can do in our free time, so that we can keep ourselves busy with something that makes us happy. Different people have different kinds of hobbies, according to their personal likes and dislikes. Hobbies are activities we choose to do, but not activities we have to do. There is a lot of difference between wanting to do something and having to do it. We only want to do those things we like to do, and things that give us pleasure and peace of mind.

    Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. For example, they are a way of connecting us with our inner self. The time devoted to taking up a hobby is our own time. This is the time when we can connect and communicate with ourselves. During this personal time, we can do whatever we like. Doing things according to our own wishes gives us a sense of inner satisfaction, and also helps develop self-confidence.

    Hobbies also help discover talents. There is a possibility that we are interested in a certain activity, but have never had a chance to try it. If we develop our interest as our hobbies, it's quite clear that we'll do it with great interest. So, even if we have never tried a certain thing before, we can still learn to do it. The hobbyists' hidden talents can be discovered, and this can make them feel more confident.

    It's human nature to try to know more about the things we like. The moment we pursue (追求) some activities as our favorite hobbies, we want to gain more knowledge about the same hobby. Whether it's gardening, cooking, painting or collecting stamps, we always try to get a deeper understanding of what we're doing, so that we can do it more correctly. What's more, we also happen to meet people with similar tastes and sometimes, owning rich knowledge about their hobbies. Besides gaining knowledge, hobbies also provide us with a chance to meet people who share similar likes and dislikes with us.

    Whatever our hobbies are, they can be developed at any age, as a child or as an adult. However, if we begin at a young age, we can get more time to experience the joys. The hobby may grow with us, and some day, may also take us to great heights.

    Do you have lots of friends? What do you 1 friends and friendship? Are they very important to you? Some of your friends may have different views and interests while some like doing the same 2 as you. Do you like the friends different from you 3 the same as you? You may like the friends who 4the same interests as you. But I don't really care.

    I have two good friends, Peter and James. Peter is 5 me. I am a quiet boy, and Peter is also quiet. We 6 enjoy reading books and surfing the Internet. On weekends, we often go to the library or 7games on the computer together. But James is very different from us. He likes playing ball games, and he is more athletic than us. He is 8 more outgoing. He likes talking and often makes 9 laugh. You see, friends are not 10 to be the same. Do you agree with me?

    China and western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have somehow reached an agreement － that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.

    Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the expressions of "Boiling a dead pig", and "A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig". And in English, there are expressions such as "eating like a pig" and "sweating like a pig". None of them are exactly complimentary.

    But the truth is that pigs do have some fine qualities（品质）. And there's probably no better time to clear their names than now, for it is the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 5 this year.

    It is true that science long ago proved that pigs aren't stupid at all. According to a paper published in 2017 in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are mentally and socially similar to dogs and chimpanzees（黑猩猩）. They like to play. They have good long-lasting

memories. And they know the differences between those who treat them well and those who don't.

    There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig, for example, a UK animated television series that began in 2004, has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries. The four members in the cartoon's pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. And in China, the adventures of McDull, a piglet who works hard towards his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been made into films since 2001.

    "People are putting too much emphasis on efficiency and immediate results, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures," said McDull's creator Brian Tse when she was promoting the 2009 film McDull, Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong in Beijing. "He has a heart of gold."

    Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrate this Chinese New Year—their intelligence, cuteness, patience and innocence（纯真）.

    Everyone gets angry. Many things may make you angry. For example, your teacher gives you too much homework, or your brother takes your CD away without asking. Sometimes you may get angry with yourself because you didn't pass a test. When things like these happen, you need to know what to do with your anger (愤怒). Here're some things you can do when you feel angry:

    Talk to a friend you can trust (信任).

    Count from one to ten again and again.

    Get or give a hug.

    Draw a picture of our anger.

    Run around the outside of the house five times as fast as you can.

    Sing along with the CD player.

    Think of something good (maybe a fun holiday or your favourite food).

    Take a bike ride, go skating, play basketball — do something active (积极的)!

    Not all things in life can happen in the way you want, so never getting angry is impossible (不可能的). But when you're angry, you can do something to make things better. Don't lose yourself in anger.

    Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.

    Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. they study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.

    Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel stressed to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.

    When young children learn a new language, they come to see various (各种) languages as a "normal" part of society. This mindset (思维模式) helps them to learn a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or "too hard".

    So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language. If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you're a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!

Food is important. Everyone needs to eat well if he or she wants to have a strong body. Our 1 also need a kind of food. This kind of food is knowledge. We begin to get knowledge even when we are young. Small children are 2 in everything around them. They learn something while they are watching and listening. When they are getting 3 they begin to read story books, science books…, anything 4 they like. When they find something new, they have to ask questions and think to 5 the answers.

What is the best way to get knowledge? If we learn by ourselves, we will get the 6 knowledge. If we are always getting answers from others and don't ask why, we will never learn more and understand better.

    One of the biggest mistakes people make when they're trying to impress someone is that they think people only pay attention to the important or "big” things they do. But the1is that the little things are also very important. It's the little things we do or don't do every day that2us into who we are. People will remember the little things you do and that can make the3. Here are some little things you should pay much attention to.

    Be on time. 4you're late for something, you re giving someone the opportunity to judge you without you even being there. If you say you're going5 at a certain time, then be there at that time. waiting for someone when they should already be there is6.

    Don't break your promises. There are too many people making promises that they know they can't7. They do so because it makes the other people feel better at that moment. The problem is that down the road, when you don't follow through, that person will feel disappointed and8angry. If you can't keep a promise, don't make it. If you do make a promise, do9you can to keep it.

    Respect others10includes your elders, friends, co-workers. family members, etc. This can be hard when you have to be around someone who has different opinions11you, or who acts in a12you don't agree with. But you can still be polite. If you respect others, you will win respect for13.

    Say "Please" and "Thank you" often. These are small things but they go a long way. Expressing your thanks to people, even for the smallest acts of14, shows that you see the good in people. It15that you pay attention to the things people around you are doing and saying.

Getting enough sleep is important for everyone. If you don't sleep well at night, you aren5t going to study well during the day. If you don't have a good sleep, you may get ill.

 Other people can't. A lot of things can help you go to sleep easily and get a good sleep. Doing some exercise during the day can help you go to sleep. Walking, running and bike riding are good sports. Before you go to bed, you shouldn't drink coffee or eat chocolates. Many people also find that listening to quiet music helps them go to sleep. Please take a warm shower before you go to bed.

Follow the advice and have a good sleep every day, so you can wake up happily in the morning and keep in good health.

    Nowadays the question 1 the elderly has become a hot topic. It is said that almost every family has old people to look after. Last year a horrible story shocked people that an old lady stayed in the corridor of a Shanghai's hospital，but her daughters and sons 2 to come to take care of the old lady. I don't think the reported story is commonly(普通地)seen but surely we have some things to consider(考虑)about the old people. They worked hard for their family, for their children and for their country when they were 3 . Now, most of them are staying at home 4 . They sometimes don't have children around them. Some  people often ignore(忽视)their old parents with the 5 that they are too busy with the work. Have you ever heard the saying "An old man is treasure of a family"? So let's take good care of our parents, our grandparents and respect all the old.

His father is a teacher. He teaches English in a high school in Beijing. His mother is an English teacher, too. But his parents work in different schools. Tom goes to school in his mother's car Guangdong food and he thinks it is delicious. Tom's mother's favourite food is Sichuan food. But Tom doesn't like Sichuan food because he thinks it is too hot.

    When our seventeen﹣year﹣old cat, Tigger died, it was very1 for both us, but particularly for my husband, Scott. Tigger was his baby and he472her terribly. After several months of3 , Scott was ready to have a new kitten.

    We visited a local shelter and Scott picked up a tiny, scrawny骨瘦如柴的grey kitten who4only 2.6 pounds. As he held her, not only did she start purring, she tried climbing onto his shoulder, exactly like Tigger used to do. This tiny angel 5Scott's heart, and Simba came home with us.

    Unfortunately, Simba had just about every disease in the book. Needless to say, Simba got to be a/an 6kitty very quickly.

    We could have counted the money we spent on Simba and complained about it. Instead, we focused on the blessings and 7she brought to our home.

    Next time you open your 8to complain about something, see if you can find one good thing about the situation. 9your thanks for it, even if it's in your head of course, it's better out loud. By changing your focus you will discover that you can 10find something good, even if it is just a tiny, scrawny little thing.

    Mineral City is an interesting place to visit. It is beautiful little town with many old buildings.

    Take a walk through the center of the town on Main Street. Look first at the Mineral City Hotel. It is on the corner of Main Street and Glenn Avenue. It is about 150 years old and people will stay there. There is an interesting old building across the street from the hotel. This was a post office. Now it is a store for books and videos. There are many places to eat on Main Street. You can get lunch or dinner in one of these places. There is a park between Main Street and Oak Street. You can sit on a bench in the park. It is nice and quiet, and you can enjoy the trees and flowers.

    You can also take a walk down Glenn Avenue. Look at the old buildings and interesting little stores on this street.

A Pioneer for all People

Though he was one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considered himself a farmer, because he worked the land to do his research.

Known as “Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)”, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural (农业的) College in 1953. From then on, finding ways to grow more rice was his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice production. At that time, hunger was a serious problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to get more rice with the same size of the fields. In 1974, he became an agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has high production and that is called super hybrid rice. In the 1980s, he went around the world and gave advice about growing rice to farmers in other countries. In 2004, he won the World Food Prize for his work.

Dr Yuan was quite satisfied with his life. He would much rather keep time for his hobbies. He enjoyed playing the violin, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself meant very little to him, so he gave millions of yuan to help some researchers with their research in farming.

Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum (高粱) . With his hard work, he grew the rice that could feed more people. President Xi Jinping praised him for his great contributions (贡献) to China's food safety and world corn development.

September usually marks the start of a new season — but what you call that season depends on where you are and whom you ask.

In the UK, people will tell you it's "autumn". However, cross the Atlantic(大西洋) and you'll find that people use both "fall" and " autumn" when talking about this time of year. In the English language, the season has two widely accepted names. Why does it have to be so confusing(令人困惑的)?

According to Dictionary. com, "fall" isn't a modern nickname(昵称) that followed the more traditional "autumn". The two terms were actually first recorded within a few hundred years of each other.

Before either word appeared in the dictionary, the seasons separating the cold and warm months didn't have common names. The main thing people did during the pre-winter period was gather crops, so it was called "harvest" in old English.

Then, in the 1600s, more and more people left rural farms and moved into cities. Without farming, the term "harvest" became less useful to people in cities. Some English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during that season, so people called the season" the fall of the leaf", or "fall" for short. But by the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word "autompne" and the Latin " autumn us", had been introduced in England and replaced "fall" as the standard term for the harvesting season.

At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought the words "fall" and" autumn" with them. Today, using both words to describe the season is a very American thing.

Imagine you are watching a movie you have been waiting for months to see at a movie theater. All of a sudden, a man's cell phone rings. Not only does the man answer it, but he keeps talking on the phone for a long time. Situations like this make many people need the cell blocking equipment(屏蔽设备). While this is quite understandable, it's much fairer and safer to allow people to use their cell phones in movie theaters.

Using cell phones in movie theaters is a matter of culture. If you look around a theater, most people are not using phones and are enjoying the film they paid to see. The few bad apples are those who are rude in almost all situations, and those who shout at waiters and cut in line. Putting in the equipment would cause trouble for everyone, not just the impolite, but the polite people as well.

There are also some people who disagree to put in the cell phone blocking equipment because of emergency situations(紧急情况). There are times when people might be getting a message that need them to leave the theater at once.

Putting in the cell phone blocking equipment would be unfair to those who know how to use their phones politely. The answer to this problem is to make sure rules are followed, not to stop everyone in the theater from using their cell phones.

Wetlands are any land that is flooded with shallow water all or most of the time. They are a natural water holding system.

There are many types of wetlands. Among them, bogs, marshes and swamps are the three main types. The different types of wetlands have different kinds of plants. Only mosses（苔藓）and a few other kinds of plants can grow in bogs Grassy plants like cattails（香蒲）and reeds（芦苇） are the most common plants in a marsh. A swamp is a forest whose ground is underwater all or most of the time. Unlike bogs or marshes, a swamp is full of trees and bushes. It's not a good idea to go exploring a swamp without a guide. There are hidden pools of water, thick mud, and sometimes big crocodiles （鳄鱼）looking for their next meal.

Hungry crocodiles aren't the only animals that make the wetlands their home. Otters, turtles, frogs, snakes and many other animals do too. The water is home to many kinds of fish and crabs. Birds, including ducks, geese and cranes, use wetlands seasonally during their long migrations.

Wetlands are important because they provide habitats for plants and animals. A wetland system can also protect shorelines, make polluted waters clean, prevent floods, and restore underground water supplies.

According to WWF, more than half of the world's wetlands have disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century. If this continues, countless plant and animal species will surely die out. Without wetlands, cities have to spend more money to treat water. Don't feel helpless. Try to do your part to protect them right now. Here are some ideas.
