As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a commonly phenomenon in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study. Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones.

Flying is fine if you want to save time, but nothing beats the railway for a relaxing and down-to-earth journey. The Zhengzhou---Xuzhou and Xi’an---Fuzhou high-speed railways put into operation in September mark a connection of high-speed railways in China’s eastern and middle-western regions, and they have brought out some of the country’s best landscapes and cuisines.
Here are four signature dishes(招牌菜)that you shouldn’t miss as you travel along the railways.
Yangrou Paomo, Xi’an
If one dish could represent Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi, locals would tell you without doubt that it’s Yangrou Paomo. It is a bowl of lamb soup served with hard flour “bread”, which is broken up and added to the soup. The soup is topped with slices of mutton, scallion(葱) and coriander(香菜). Then it is usually eaten with picked sweet garlic.
Soup Dumpling, Kaifeng
A popular snack in Kaifeng, Henan, the dish is made up of three things: skin, meat and soup. The skin is mad from flour, while the filling is usually pork. And just as its name suggests, the soup dumplings are filled with tasty soup. But how does the steaming hot soup get into the dumplings? It’s actually been cooled and cut into cubes, which fit easily into the dough(面团). Along with the pork, the cubes become liquid soup once they’re steamed.
Smelly Mandarin Fish, Huangshan
Despite its name, Smelly Mandarin Fish(臭鳜鱼)is known for its good taste. A lot of travelers who visit Huangshan in Anhui want to taste it because they have heard of its reputation. Once the skin has been removed, the fresh is preserved in salty water for six to seven days, then friend and cooked in soy sauce. Although salting gives the fish its special smell, the original tender flesh is preserved well and given a delicious and unique taste.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Fuzhou
The dish has enjoyed an over 100-year-long worldwide reputation since it was invented in Fuzhou, Fujian in the late Qing Dynasty(1644-1911). Fotiaoqiang, or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, got its interesting name from a poem a customer wrote. The poem said the dish was so delicious that upon smelling it, monks in the neighboring temple would jump over the wall to come and get some. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is made up of many ingredients, including sea cucumber(海参), chicken, pork and mushroom. Because of these ingredients, it tastes extremely delicious while being highly nutritious at the same time.

Your best friend that follows you around when the sun comes out - your shadow - doesn’t serve an important function like your heart or brain, but what if you could use shadows to create electricity? When using solar panels ( 电池板 ) that are powered by light, shadows can be boring because it means electricity can’t be created. However, researchers from the National University of Singapore have engineered a way to create power from the shadows present everywhere.
A team of the university created a machine that can collect energy from shadows. It is created by placing a thin coating of gold onto silicon ( 硅 ). Like in a normal solar panel, when put in light, the silicon electrons ( 电子 ) become energized and the energized electrons then jump from the silicon to the gold. The voltage ( 电压 ) of the part of the machine that is placed in the light increases relative to the dark part and the electrons in the machine flow from high to low voltage. They are sent through an external circuit ( 外电路 ) creating a current that can be used to power another machine. The greater the contrast between light and dark, more energy is provided by the machine.
The team is working on improving the performance of the machine, borrowing approaches from solar panels to gather light. Increasing the amount of light the machines can receive allows them to better make use of shadows, as well as developing shadow energy collecting panels that can successfully gather from indoor lighting. The team is also researching the use of other materials other than gold to drop the price of the machine, meaning they would be more cost effective and easier to apply in society.
Shadows are present everywhere and perhaps one day in the future we will be able to collect energy from them by placing the shadow-effect energy machine around the world in places that have been considered unfit for solar panels to work, or indoors. “A lot of people think that shadows are useless,” Tan says, but “anything can be useful, even shadows.”
1 ． What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A ． Your best friend always stays with you after the sunrise.
B ． The shadow has the same function as the heart and brain.
C ． Shadows can stop solar panels from creating electricity.
D ． Researchers have found a way to create power from shadows.
2 ． What is the key working principle of the machine mentioned in the text?
A ． The silicon produces electricity when it is in the light.
B ． The gold produces power with the help of the silicon.
C ． The energized electrons flow from high to low voltage.
D ． An external circuit creates current using another machine.
3 ． How does the team improve the performance of the machine?
A ． Using solar panels in the machine.
B ． Increasing the amount of light received.
C ． Developing light energy collecting panels.
D ． Bringing down the price of gold.
4 ． Which of the following is the best place to apply the machine?
A ． A gym. B ． A park. C ． A farm. D ． A playground.
How do you choose between similar postgraduate courses?
After graduating from an undergraduate(本科) course, you could move on to postgraduate study. This might be the ideal investment in reaching the career you want-either strengthening your knowledge and skills, or taking on a new direction. How do you choose the right postgraduate course?
First, decide on the following:
■ subject matter
■ length
■ if it’s taught or research-based
■ if it’s full- or part-time
If you’re clear about those decisions, and you’ve checked the entry requirements, the differences between similar courses may be in the four areas below.
Which course is most helpful to your career aspirations?

It was the last day of school before the Christmas break. After school, I went to a fast-food restaurant Subway, where I occasionally liked to treat 41 (me) with some snacks when I didn’t bring home-made lunch. When I finished 42 (order) and was ready to pay, the young man in front of me had just paid. However, 43 I was about to give my ten-dollar bill to the cashier, the young man turned his head and said with a smile on his face, “I have paid 44 your order. Merry Christmas!” Then he walked toward a couple of friends 45 were waiting for him at the door. 46 (hear) his words, I was shocked. I heard of the kind behavior many times before, but it 47 (unexpected) happened to me today. So I immediately went up to him and thanked him for his 48 (kind). And he responded, “Christmas is around the corner. I always do this at this time of the year.” What he said 49 (inspire) me, and I was determined to do good deeds. For me, 50 (participate) in charity work might be a good way to spread my love.
I was 14 years old. I was angry and rebellious, with 41 regard for anything my parents had to say, 42 if it had nothing to do with me. Like so many 43 , I struggled to
escape from anything that didn’t 44 my picture of the world. A “ brilliant without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any obvious 45 of love. In fact, I got angry at the 46 of
the word “love”.
One 47 , after an extremely difficult day, I 48 into m room, shut the door loudly
and fell down onto my bed heavily. As I lay down in the privacy of my 49 , my hands placed
under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope it said, “To 50 when you’re alone.”
51 I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not. So I opened it. It said,“Mike，I know life is 52 right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t
do everything right. I also know that I love you 53 and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever need to talk. If you don’t, that’s also 54 . Just know that no matter where you go or whatever you do in your life, I will always love you and be 55 that
you are my son. I’m here for you and I love you--that will never 56 . Love you, Mom.”
Every night as I went to bed, I would put my hands under my 57 , and I remember the
58 I felt every time I got a letter. During my teen years, the letters were the calm assurance that I still could be loved 59 my anger and rudeness. Just before I fell 60 I became grateful that my mom knew what I, an angry teenager, needed.
