Social media（媒体）is a big part of most people's lives． There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo， as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou． How do you behave when you use these apps？
Recently researchers at the University of Sussex，UK， studied social media users ranging from 10
to 15 years old． They found that they can be divided into four personality types．
Geeks（极客）
Geeks are active social media users，but they find it much more difficult to deal with the life in the real world． Most of them are boys who like playing computer games and making music and videos． They often post creative works online， using fake（假的） names． In fact， they should avoid spending too much time on the Internet．
Internet celebrities
Internet celebrities like sharing as well ， but they are much more visible （看得见的） than geeks． They might become well﹣known for their singing or dancing． But many of them， especially teenagers ，share almost every side of their lives in order to own more fans． Being a teenage Internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world．
Lurkers（潜伏者）
The first two groups are lucky to find a place to show their talent． But most teenagers fall into the third type﹣﹣﹣﹣ "lurkers"，or people who are neither too active nor visible．This group prefers WeChat over Sina Weibo， as WeChat has private groups． They can't express themselves well but at least they make sure to protect their personal information．
Victims（受害者）
Victims don't have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online Their personal information can be made public and cause problems for them． To avoid being a victim， you should check your personal settings on social media．"Friends only" is a good choice for your posts． Don't share your personal information．

On Feb 12， Dalian（not his real name）was taking a train to Changsha， Hunan， for a business trip． While on the train，he went into a carriage（车厢）to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage．He didn't know that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan．
Several hours later， when the train arrived in Wuhan， Dalian was asked to get off， as he was in the special carriage． Although he was surprised， he didn't want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag．

A British man has learned the skills needed to perform Beijing Opera， making the audience （观众） enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King．
Ghaffar Pourazar， born in Iran， said he has been a big fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child and is full of interest about China． In 1993， he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing． Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices， colorful costumes， excellent shows and so on． So after one year， he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school．
At the age of 32， he had to learn with teenage students every day， starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist． At the time， he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera． To him， it was the biggest obstacle． But he never gave up．
Four years later， he began to learn to perform the Monkey King， a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West． He said he arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character．
Ghaffar today is not only good a speaking Beijing dialect （方言） but has also built a fame for Beijing Opera． He once got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King．
To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera， Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States， Britain and other countries． When he found that the language was difficult to understand， he started to translate Beijing Opera song lyrics． Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States． He also led a 48﹣member team to perform in Malaysia． In the past 10 years， he has performed in more than 400 shows．

If you go shopping in any toy store，you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls：there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls；and dark﹣ colored cars，guns，and soldiers for boys．Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys．In fact，it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink．
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls．Sue Palmer，writer of Toxic Childhood， is very
worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color．According to some scientists，this happens for two reasons．Firstly，most companies offer too many products in pink．Also，many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink．Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves，but the pink can affect （影响） the choices and the decisions they will make in the future．
Some parents are worried too﹣﹣ for example，Vanessa Holburn，thirty﹣two，who has two girls under the age of four．Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy．"Pink says that you are soft and gentle．Blue says that you are strong and powerful． I want my daughters to be strong and powerful．I′m worried that pink will not help them with that， "she says．
But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink．Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all． "People forget that things change all the time，" he says． "My girls used to love pink when they were little，but as they get older，they change． "Turner explains that his twelve﹣year﹣old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore． "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change， "he adds， "It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink﹣﹣ before that it was a color for boys．"

Do you enjoy hitting the books？ It doesn't mean you enjoy beating your books with your hand． That may be reasonable if you don't understand something inside your books． Hitting the books just means that you are studying hard． You can learn a lot when you hit the books． （1）Especially before exams，most students spend a lot of time hitting the books to get good grades．
This is just one example of expressions that can't be understood by taking them apart（分开）word by word． Expressions like this are called idioms（习语）． They are an important part of a culture's language． Languages and cultures are closely connected． One example of an idiom in the Chinese language is "dui niu tan qin"， or "to play the lute（拨弦乐器）to a cow．" （2）这意味着某人在说话或写作时不考虑其听众或读者．
Let's get back to idioms that begin with the word "hit"． （3）There are many of them in English，but it's not that easy for you to understand．
One common idiom you may hear in English is "hit the road"． It means to leave or to go． You can say， "Hey， I need to hit the road． Can we talk about this another time？" Or simply， "It's time to hit the road．" When you are tired and you want to go to bed， you can say， "I need to hit the hay（干草）．" It means you want to go to sleep．（4）That's because a bed was often a big bag with hay inside in the past．
（5）习语使你的语言生动而有趣． Let's hit the road to learn some and try to use them．

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
Ever since I was a little girl， I've loved reading crime and detective （侦探） novels， so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older． However， my family is very big on having a traditional career （职业） and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing， my parents told me that I couldn't． They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career， and not something as risky as writing． I suppose I could have studied journalism （新闻） ，but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work， not for pleasure． I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise （妥协 ） ， especially because of the long holidays． It was a good choice： by the time I was twenty﹣five，I'd already finished two novels and had an agent．
To be honest， I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything， and my friends have always known． One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance （浪漫） novelist for older women． She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought， "Well， if you think it'll make me successful， okay，" I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel． I asked her some questions about it， and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it ﹣ she even offered to lend it to me after she'd finished! Of course， sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies， but I think my parents probably did me a favor： my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world．

Most people use their mouths to talk， but do you know some people use their hands to speak？ Some people who cannot bear use their hands to communicate messages to others． This is called sign language． These people make shapes with their fingers， movements with their hands， as well as different faces in order to talk to other people．
One way people speak with their hands is by making shapes for letters with their fingers． For example， if you make an "OK" sign with your thumb and finger， that is the shape for the letter "f" in American sign language． Each letter has a hand shape． This way people can spell words using their hands． For example， if you want to spell "fun"， you need to make three shapes． First you make the shape for the letter "f"， then the shape for the letter "u"， and then the shape for the letter "n"．
______．If you move your hand from your nose to your chin（下巴）， you can say "mother" in American sign language． Of course， you have to use the correct hand shape， too． That shape is like holding
your hand open with all five fingers showing． If you move your hand from the top of your head to your chin， you can say "father"． Again， you have to use the same hand shape that you used for "mother"．
Finally， people can change their faces to communicate in a sign language． For example， if you want to ask a question， you need to make your eyebrows（眉毛）go up． You also need to move your head forward a little． If you want to say "I do not know"， you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down．

①My little sister is spoilt（宠坏的）． She has Dad wrapped around her finger． If I had done or said some of the things that she does when I was her age， I would have been in big trouble． Not her﹣ she's Daddy's girl． She's three．
②An example： Dad asked her to get his glasses from the kitchen． My sister said， "You've got legs． You get them．" When he asked again， she said， "Benny's got legs．He can get them． "Mum and Dad thought she was funny． I just thought she was rude．
③One night she woke Dad and said she dreamed that "Benny was fighting a witch （巫婆）．"Mum and Dad let her sleep in their bed the rest of the night． I never slept in their bed﹣ not that I would have wanted to． She is so spoilt．
④One time at the beach after she'd been playing in the surf with Mum， my sister shouted that an "octopus's tentacles" had bitten （咬） her． Dad laughed his head off． It wasn't that funny． She was certainly imagining． I knew that's what she thought as I'd done a project on animals for school．
⑤She likes to do homework when I do mine． She sits next to me and pretends to write pages of homework． It's just letters such as the letters in her name that she repeats for row after row． Mum says she's just trying to be like me but it drives me crazy when I'm trying to fix my attention on my work．
⑥She took her favorite book， Animalia， to Kindy（幼儿园） this morning． When dad and I collected her from Kindy this afternoon， a boy had taken her book out of her locker and was being really careless with the pages． I could tell she didn't like him having her book． I took the book off the boy and told him to treat books nicely． My sister looked very happy．

Copenhagen is one of the best places in the world to be a bicyclist but there is a downside﹣﹣thousands of parked bicycles． Sometimes it gets out of control．
In 2014， when Copenhagen got its Cycle Snake﹣a new bicycle﹣only bridge ﹣the city edged even closer to being a cyclists' paradise．
There are in fact more bicycles in Copenhagen than people， five times as many bicycles as cars， and 400 km of cycle lanes﹣not shared with cars or pedestrians （行人）﹣for a city of about 600，000 people．
This has many advantages， such as cleaner air and physical fitness． If only more thought had gone into what happens when riders get off． Cycle parking is a big problem here．
Bikes are often parked on the pavement， taking up pedestrian space and blocking（堵住） entrances to shops and restaurants．
Outside Copenhagen's central train station， where people often leave their bikes for the weekend， plenty of cyclists are fed up． "There just isn't enough space，" says Kirsten Hoeholt， a famous artiest．
While 95% of cyclists in the city are happy with conditions for cyclists overall， only 29% are satisfied with cycle﹣parking facilities﹣down from 40% in 1996．
One of Copenhagen's is that it has been growing rapidly． About 12，000 people are moving to the city each year， while only 7，000 new cycle parking spaces have been created over the last eight years．
One Dutch idea on its way to Copenhagen is taking away the bikes that are parked in the wrong areas． Leave your bike in the wrong place and you could find that it has been moved to nearby bicycle facilities．
A few years ago "bike﹣butlers" were introduced in some areas． The butlers pick up bicycles that have been knocked over， pump air into flat tyres and give the bike﹣chains a bit of oil， to thank people for parking properly．

A． punish the bicyclists

C． take away the bikes
（5）What does the passage mainly tell us？

Every four years， in a different country around the world， there is a big sports competition．It is like the Olympics but only for one sport﹣the most popular sport in the world! What do you know about the history of the World Cup？
The first World Cup was in 1930， in Uruguay（乌拉圭）． In the final game Uruguay beat Argentina（阿根廷） and became the first World Cup winner． 13 countries played in the first World Cup． Now there are 32 countries in the competition．
The first time people saw the World Cup on TV was in 1954 when Switzerland held the Competition． Now about 3 billion people in countries all over the world watch the World Cup on TV!
Until 2002 the World Cup was always in a European or an American country． South Korea and Japan held the first Asian World Cup． The first African World Cup was in 2010 in South Arica．
The 2018 World Cup will be the 21st one． It is planned to take place in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018， after the country was awarded （授予） the hosting rights in December 2010．

What can you make with pieces of paper？ Look at Chen Yiyan's work! The 14﹣year﹣old boy in Hangzhou Foreign Language School has an amazing talent for paper﹣folding． He has folded a "fantasy world" with his hands．
Chen wasn't born with this talent． When he was a fourth﹣grader， he found his brother's paper﹣folding book． It got him interested in it． Following the 50steps shown in the book， he made his first work﹣﹣a paper elephant within two hours． Since then， he has read many books about paper﹣folding and practised folding paper in his spare time． So far， his fantasy world has many members， such as monsters and robots． He made his favorite work last year． It was a paper dragon that had almost 2，000steps．
Chen used to fold paper himself until he met Li Changnan， an eighth﹣grader in his school who also loved folding paper． They set up a paper﹣folding club last year． To their joy， their school sponsored it． With the encouragement and the money provided， they had a paper﹣folding class every Wednesday afternoon． The club soon attracted a lot of students． Now it has than 20members． They showed their works and taught other students how to fold paper． On February 14th this year， the club also held a speech for the kids in Wenzhou Children's Library．
It is really exciting to develop my hobby and share it with others at the same time， " said Chen，" I hope more and more people get to know paper﹣folding and love the art
