Angela Zou hardly writes text messages now. Sitting at her office desk, Zou asks her iPhone, where they should go to eat. When it buzzes seconds later, she lifts it to her ear for her friend's reply. The conversation goes back and forth through these pieces of words before they decide on the place for lunch.
Like millions of others across Asia, Zou is using WeChat, a smartphone app（应用程序）developed in China, to send voice messages, snapshots（快照）and emoticons（表情符号）to her friends. Now that its walkietalkie-style（对讲机式）messages have become everywhere, she said typing feels like hard work.
WeChat's popularity has grown quickly since it came into use in 2011. Tencent, the company that developed the app, announced in September that its users had doubled in six months to 200 million. Most users are in China, though WeChat is being used across Asia and already has users in the US and the UK.
Historically, it has proved difficult for Chinese internet firms to develop in foreign countries. But WeChat is becoming the first Chinese social media application with the possibility to go to the whole world.
WeChat is similar to the popular US-based mobile messaging service WhatsApp, but it does more. It comes in eight languages including English, Arabic and Russian.
"I used WhatsApp before I came back to China from studying abroad and found all my friends were using WeChat," said Zou, who is 25. "Now when I want to contact someone I use WeChat first." The app's features include Look Around, which allows users to chat to strangers nearby, while Moments works like Instagram（图片分享）.Why does Angela Zou hardly write text messages now?
What is WeChat used to do?
Which company of China developed WeChat?
Where is WeChat used?

Whether summer or winter, holiday time can mean travel. A few years ago, some people moved from California to Maryland with their birds. Traveling with birds is a very unusual experience. But everything can go well with a little planning. There are some good tips for you.
★ The first thing you have to decide is what cage your birds will use. You should make sure that the cage is neither too small nor too big, and can be put into the car easily. If you find that you need a travel cage, get it a few weeks before the trip, so you can give your birds time to get used to it.
★ If your car has the airbag, do not put the cage in the front seat. The force of the airbag even in a little accident could easily damage any cage and even injure or kill the bird inside. The cage should be held in the car with seatbelts.
★ If your trip takes several days, you need to make some stops at pet-friendly hotels. When you stop at hotels during the trip, you must put lots of newspapers under the cage to help control the rubbish.
★ If your travel or moving plans bring you to areas with hot weather, remember that the car will become very hot in a short time in the sun. Never leave your birds in the car alone.
Traveling with birds can be stress-free, and a little planning can make it a pleasant experience.What is the first thing you have to decide?

E. Because you may burn the things inside your bedroom and even be killed by the fire. |
A young girl sits at her desk, reviewing her homework for the evening. English: Read three chapters and write a report. Math: Complete 30 problems. Science: Do a worksheet, front and back. French: (A) Study new words for tomorrow’s test. It’s going to be a long night.
This happens to students in America. Now it’s time to start a homework revolution(变革).
Do students in the United States receive too much homework? According to the National Education Association, a student should be assigned (布置) no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. For example, a first grader should only have 10 minutes of homework, a (B) grader, 20 minutes, and so on. This means that a student in my grade—seventh—should have no more than 70 minutes of work (C) each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse!
It’s no good giving students too much homework. According to research, kids are developing more illness at school, such as stomachaches, headaches and sleep problems than before.
Everybody (D) that teachers are the ones who assign homework, but they are not the only ones to blame (受责备). “Many teachers are under greater pressure (压力) than ever before,” says Kylene Beers, President of the National Council for teachers of English, “Some of (E) it comes from parents, some from the wish for high scores on tests.” Teachers who are under pressure feel the need to assign more homework.
Some people have different ideas, saying that homework prepares kids for doing better in high school, better in college, and (F) 今后找到更好的工作. But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity（削弱学生的个性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want?写出文中划线部分（A）和（C）的同义词或近义词:
在文中（B）和（D）的空白处分别填入适当单词:
文中划线部分（E）指代的是:
将文中划线部分（F）译成汉语:

What is to blame（归咎于） for the smog (雾霾) hitting China? The question that has bothered people for a long time got an answer recently.
According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), about 40 percent of PM2.5 pollutants in Beijing are the result of coal (煤炭) burning, from both local and outside the city.
Surrounded by Hebei, a major area for coal burning, about 20 percent of Beijing’s pollutants come from outside the city. And we know there are many steel(钢铁) factories in Hebei, too. According to the CAS, each year Beijing burns 23 million tons of coal while Tianjin burns more than 70 million tons and Hebei a huge 270 million tons.
“Coal burning is a primary source of sulfur oxide (SO2, 二氧化硫) which is the primary cause of PM2.5,” said Wang.
The report of the CAS says that in the Jingjinji area (Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei), coal burning is responsible(负责任的) for 9 percent of primary particles (颗粒) that make up PM2.5. The coal burning also emits (排放) 69 percent of the total SO2 and 47 percent of nitrogen oxide (氮氧化物), which will greatly concentrate (加强浓度) the PM2.5 particles in the air.
According to the air pollution plan, the Jingjinji area should reduce（减少） its PM2.5 concentration by 25 percent by 2017 from 2012 levels. To meet the standards, the report suggests great cuts in coal use in the area.
“This is a very great goal but it is achievable with cooperation（合作） between cities instead of cities working on their own,” said Wang.What’s the main cause of the smog hitting Beijing?

Shadow puppetry （皮影戏）started during the Western Han Dynasty and it has a long history of more than 2，000 years.It used to be popular in the countryside because it was simple and cheap.

Just like many things that are in danger，traditional arts also face the risk of disappearing. "Many young people still think that shadow puppetry is an old﹣fashioned folk art， " said Liu Chaokan，the sixth﹣generation inheritor （继承人）of shadow puppetry in Yunnan province.
Liu understands why old art forms couldn't interest young people，so he connects new stories with the traditional form of storytelling.In a recent show based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West，Baigujing dances to a Korean pop song.Popular Chinese cartoon characters，together with the modern factors （元素），are Liu's secret in getting the attention of children. "Since they couldn't understand those old stories，why don't we show them the cartoon characters they love in shadow puppetry shows？" said Liu.

Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture(家具) stores all over the country. The new store, in London’s Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began.
When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her.
To begin with, I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I didn’t get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market any more because mum could leave me at home on my own. I made candles of all shapes and sizes in my free time. I made hundreds of them.
One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some money to buy some wax(蜡) to make more candles. They sold out really quickly, too.
Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mum and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to give us a hand. I paid them ￡1 for every candle, and we used to sell them for three or four times that. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle helped me to open my first shop in Portobello Road by lending me some money. Since then, I’venever looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.

Where did Kyra’s mother sell flowers? (no more than 3 words)
What did Kyra do in her free time when she was fourteen?
Who helped when Kyra and her mum couldn’t make enough candles?(no more than 5 words)

Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the world’s people.
In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.
