Eyes always on us
Video cameras are everywhere: schools, theatres and stores. But in recent years, theyhave entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children's online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it?
Li Ming Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and videos instead of studying. This watch affected my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. |
Zhang Hua When I was in Grade 8, my parent set up a camera in my room. I really didn't like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home, they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn't have pillow fights. I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now. |

"I speak English." When the Pilgrims (清教徒前辈美洲移民) heard these words,they were very surprised.The words came from Squanto,a Native American (印第安人).But how did he learn to speak English?As the Pilgrims would soon find out,this happened to be a long story.

In Spain,some monks (僧侣) saved Squanto and looked after him for three years.Then,he joined another trip to North America.The trip was to Newfoundland.This was still far from Squanto's home.Squanto returned to England in the end.
By now,Squanto had known many important men in England.They liked Squanto and wanted to help him.Finally,Squanto went back to his home village in 1619 with the help of them.But sadly,the village was empty.All of the villagers had died from an illness.

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.
The puppets are usually made from leather (皮革)or paper.It is hard to make them.The puppet﹣makers have to take 24 steps,which include washing the leather,carving (雕刻) and painting,to make a puppet.
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.
To keep the old art forever young,Liu thinks they should respect (尊重)its traditions and protect the basic of the art.

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.
How many furniture stores does Kyra Komac have now?
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)
How did Kyra’s uncle help her to open her first shop?

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.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion. The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls.
