The face﹣down generation(一代)

    If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh﹣ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, world﹣wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good﹣looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?

    Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face﹣down generation" because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.

    Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(溺爱)and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after﹣school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

    Does the face﹣down generation need a heads﹣up? Well, probably not. The fact.is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.

    So if you're one of the oh﹣ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face﹣down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.

(1)If Alice was born in 2004, is she an oh﹣oh?  

(2)Why do some adults think of the oh﹣ohs as the "face﹣down generation"?  

(3)What are the parents called who always guide and plan everything for their children?  

(4)How does the writer organize Paragraph 4?

B. Space order.

In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species (物种) might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine(饥荒). Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale.

    Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won't find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.

    For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world's food varieties to disappear.

    One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds (种子) as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five continents. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.

    In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great ﹣grandfather brought to the U.S. from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.

    More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don't just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven't been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.

(1)What is this passage mainly about?  

A. The need to protect different food species.

B. How to increase the number of food species.

C. The fact that many food species are dying out.

D. How to prevent food species from disappearing.

(2)Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?  

A. Because people depend on certain species of food crops.

B. Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.

C. Because the world's population is larger than that in 1845.

D. Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past.

(3)The following sentence would best be placed at the end of  .Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out.

A. Paragraph 1

B. Paragraph 2

C. Paragraph 3

D. Paragraph 4

(4)What can we learn from the passage?  

A. The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Ireland.

B. Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.

C. People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years.

D. Heritage Farm is the first place in the U.S. for people to store and trade seeds.

    Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO ( 联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD ). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.

Do you shop online with websites like Taobao? The money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while. After you receive your goods and click the "confirm receipt" button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller.

    The process is called "third party online payment". There is a transfer station, or a third account, between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers don't need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing. Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.

    These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay, Tenpay and Yeepay. Among them, Alipay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users, according to Xinhua.

    While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very happy. That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money. Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.

    Bangladesh(孟加拉) is an agricultural country between India and Burma. Storms from the Indian Ocean sweep across the country every year, and large areas of farming land are flooded(冲毁). The people are very poor.

    Fewer than half of the country's children complete their primary education. When they are six or seven years old, many children leave school to work in the fields or at home. The rest of their "education" consists of looking after cattle, collecting firewood or doing household jobs.

    Not long ago, an experimental school was opened near the capital, Dacca, to help poor children. There are only 120 children in the school, which has three classrooms. In each class, forty pupils are divided into four groups of ten. Each pupil is free to decide which group he or she wants to join.

    The most able pupils do a great deal of the teaching. They act as group monitors. Their duty is to ensure that all pupils in their group understand and practice what the teacher has taught.

    There are a number of unusual features in the Bangladesh school. Children do not move up a class automatically when they grow older. Each group is promoted (升级)only when EVERY pupil in it has succeeded in getting to the right standard. As a result, all members of a group work hard to help the less able pupils. Nobody is left behind.

    Lessons are extremely practical and include work on farming, carpentry, health and running a home﹣as well as lessons on the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. At school, pupils prepare for adult life by learning to carry out almost all the tasks which they will face when they grow older.

    If pupils have to look after cattle or young children, they are allowed to bring them to school. If a child has to stay at home to help his parents, there is no scolding or punishment (责罚) at school. Children enjoy their lessons and the school is cheap to run. It is so successful that other schools in Bangladesh are beginning to imitate(模仿) its methods.

    Visitors are even coming from other agricultural countries to see if they can use a similar method.

(1)Many people in Bangladesh work on farms.  

(2)Most children in Bangladesh complete their primary education.  

(3)In each group, the biggest or oldest pupil is made a monitor.  

(4)At the end of each school year, all the pupils move to a higher class.  

(5)At school, pupils learn to do almost all the tasks needed in adult life.

    While many people find this Chinglish to be funny, it also confuses(使困惑)English speakers. On Dec. 1, 2017, China carried out its first national standards(规范) for the use of English in public service areas.

    The standards include more than 3, 500 Chinese﹣to﹣ English translations in 13 areas, including transportation,sports and education.This means that many Chinese words will now have standard English names.

    For example, the English word for the Chinese dish lamian "lamian noodles". For kaochuan and mixian, the English names are" barbecue"and"rice noodles"

    As for places, shaoniangong is called"childrens palace". The entertainment activity nongjiale that we enjoy in rural areas is called "agritainment". There are also many English warning phrases, like"mind your head"for dangxinpengtou.

    The standards are part of efforts China has made in the past years to fix incorrect English. Many cities have already fixed a lot of signs that show the wrong English translationsIn 2015, Shanghai opened a 7234 hot line to encourage people to report incorrect translations.
