    Nowadays, money has become intangible (不易度量的). Household shopping is done online pocket money is stored in an electronic wallet rather than a piggy bank. Children rarely see their parents handling cash and they are spending online, too.

    The answer is GoHenry, an app with separate versions for parents and children, now available both in America and Britain.To use the app, parents need to sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee for their kids. They can see what the child has bought and choose where the card can be used: in shops, online or at ATMs. They can also schedule pocket money and set tasks.

    Children get debit cards (借记卡) carved with their name.For example, they can decide to save ten dollars for a friend's birthday in four weeks' time. The app tells them how much to save each week to meet the goal.

    Similar to a fitness app, GoHenry gives children feedback on their financial management and motivates them to spend better and save. A big benefit of such an app is that it inspires family conversations about money.

E. When those are marked as done, the child is paid the agreed amount.

F. The app helps children form good financial habits through real-world money management.

Internet Time Tied to Teen Depression(抑郁) Symptoms

    Spending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens —or too little, for that matter —might be related to depression, a new study finds.

    The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.

    For the study, Dr Pierre-Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.

    Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered "heavy" Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered "regular" users.

    The teenagers also answered a number of health-related questions, including some standard questions about "depressive tendencies" that gauge (判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.

    Among male teens, heavy users and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to "regular" users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.

    That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken into account. Since teenagers typically go online to contact friends, the researchers guess that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.

Recently, the increasing of shared bikes have made our lives more convenient. However, my classmates and I often noticed some shared bikes place messily everywhere. We felt upset but decided to make a change to the uncivilized behavior. On Saturday morning, we gather outside the subway station. First, we began with those messy shared bikes and tried to put them in to order. People passing by appreciated that we did. Seen the bikes in rows on the pavement, we felt excited. Then, in order to encourage people's civilized behavior, we put up a largely poster saying "Please Be Civilized While Using A Shared Bike". Of course, we drew much attention from the passer-by. Hopefully our actions will make difference.

       In order to encourage students take outdoor activities, our school organized a mountain-climbing activity at July 10th. Hundreds of us took the part in it. It was a nice day. At 8:00, we gathered at the foot of Jinyun Mountain to set out for the top in high spirits. Along the way, we chatted, sang and laugh, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful sceneries. When some students fell behind, other would come and offer help. About 2 hours late, we all reached the top. Bathing in the sunshine, the distant city looked fantastic but we jumped and cheered with joy.

       This activity benefited us a lot. Not only did it get us close to nature and give us relaxation from heavy homework, but it also promoted friendship among us. What wonderful a trip it was!

Time management is an important skill to develop. It can help you make the most out of each day, leading to success in areas like work and school. To manage your time, use your time productively by working in the right environment and prioritizing tasks.

The environment you work in can help with your overall productivity. There are no strict rules about a work environment, so pick what feels right for you. Surround yourself with inspiring decorations that help you feel enthusiastic and passionate.

List your tasks in terms of importance. To-do lists are a great tool, but organize them a little rather than just writing down everything that needs to get done. Group tasks in terms of importance.

Keep some work with you at all times. Take advantage of your downtime by keeping work with you at all times. If you're a student, think about investing in some audio-books or recording your lectures. While waiting in line or walking to class, you can listen to material for your courses.

Do not multitask. Many people assume multitasking is a great way to get more done each day and manage time wisely. However, focusing on multiple tasks at once actually makes you less productive. Things will take longer to do, as you're not giving anything your full attention.

You will get your work done quicker this way, allowing you to make the most of your time.

A. List tasks under each category.

B. Create the right environment to work.

C. Focus completely on one task at a time instead.

D. Before you begin your work load for the day, make a list.

E. These feelings will help you stay on task and be productive.

F. Stop any unnecessary socializing before you start your priority tasks.

G. If you have a few minutes on the bus, use that to read something for school or work.

Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Chinese Space Station to Crash back to Earth

There are currently more than 500,000 pieces of space junk being tracked as they circle Earth. Space junk, or debris, consists of bits of metal, satellites and even a space station that is no longer in use, all of it circling the planet. Now this space station is about to fall to Earth.

Tiangong-1 was China's first space station. It was in 2011, but the country lost contact with it in March 2016 and later that year, Chinese officials confirmed that the 3.5-metre-wide would return to Earth.

At the moment, scientists don't know exactly where or when the space station will enter the planet's atmosphere, but believe it will be between 30 March and 2 April. There is no need to worry, though. While scientists can't say where it will land, there is very little that the space station will hit a populated area. This is because most of it will burn up in Earth's atmosphere - a(n) of gases that protect the planet. Also, because most of Earth is covered in water, scientists think that if there is any debris, it will fall into the sea.

As the landing date gets closer, scientists will be able to determine where it will fall - if necessary - steps will be taken to keep people safe and . A statement by Aerospace, a US company that advises the US government about space travel, said, "In the history of spaceflight, no known person has ever been harmed by space debris(残留物)."

One thing scientists are confident of, though, is that wherever it enters the atmosphere, the debris will create a spectacular fireball for anyone enough to see it.

My childhood friends just called me after 20 years' absence. He had moved away in his 11th grade. I didn't have his number, address, and any other information. He was simple gone. Finally just at chance my brother came across him while do his job. Perhaps this is that is called a one-in-a-million chance. I started crying when I heard their voice. I never knew how important it is to have friend that loves and supports you in life. So I want to express my gratitude deeply root in my heart to all my best friends in the world. It is you that have helped me make a difference in life.

    Is our planet heating up? Are human beings to blame for climate change? The discussion on this subject has been heated, but what are scientists actually saying? At Reader's Digest, we decided to find it out.

   

    Yes, it has, and even warmer. Greenland was forested between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago, so temperatures were considerably warmer then. There have also been other times of relatively high temperatures.

    So why does the concern exist?

    It's all about the speed at which temperatures are changing. But in the 20th and 21^st centuries, especially since 1976, temperatures have probably risen more quickly than during any century in the past 1 ,000 years. Warming may bring improved crop production and other benefits to northern countries such as Canada or Russia. However, many species may not adapt to these conditions, and the one that is able to may cause a problem. The West Nile virus, first seen in North America nine years ago, infected about 4,000 people in the US in 2006. The mountain pine beetle, which is active during warmer winters, has already destroyed about 13 million hectares of Canada's forests, worth an estimated $6. 4 billion.

    What is causing the warming?

    IPCC has concluded that human activity is very likely responsible, by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases and thus the greenhouse effect. They argue the human contribution is nothing.

A. Some scientists, however, still disagree.

B. Has the planet ever been this warm before?

C. Has human behavior made the planet warm?

D. Temperatures have been changing all the time.

E. In the past, temperatures moved up or down gradually.

F. Mosquitoes have been moving northwards to higher places.

G. These questions have burst into newspapers, films and popular books.
