More and more foreigners have come to China. A foreign teacher named Jack stayed in China and wrote something about his experiences. Now let's share his experiences in China:
During my five years in China, I have had the chance to travel all over China and see some interesting things. I not only have seen many places of interest, such as the Great Wall in Beijing, the home of Confucius in Qufu, Shandong Province, and the city of Xi'an, but also have seen beautiful gardens in Suzhou, Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province, and wonderful beaches in Dalian and Qingdao. Huangguoshu Waterfall is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. I've also met many friendly people around China. They included students in middle schools I visited in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi Province, and Guizhou. All of my experiences were wonderful.

Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards.But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses.
Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest city, located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java, made this decision in April 2018.Now,locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus.A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles.
Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter, producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report.Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day.The head of Surabaya's transportation department(交通部门) said,"With this decision, we hope to raise public awareness about environment, especially people's awareness about plastic waste."
Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day.The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city.This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure.
The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020.In order to encourage local people to take buses,the city also added the new Suroboyo buses.The new buses are air﹣conditioned,comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off.
The program is well received.People in Surabaya said,"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it. It is a win﹣win situation."
This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过六个词.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi'an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). "We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier." Said Guo, "When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone."
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans(扫描) his students' QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun." Said Tingting, a student of Guo's.
"The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share." Guo said, "It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don't want my students to fall behind the times."
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it's unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn't take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students' work at any time. And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students.
(1)According to the passage, Guo's students can keep their homework on WeChat, can't they?
(2)How can the QR codes be sent to Mr. Guo?
__
(3)What is one of the advantages of the new way of handing in homework?
(4)What do some parents worry about?
(5)What do you think of the new way of handing in homework?
Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字)in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider(提供者) you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random(随机的).
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.
And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联系)for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.
Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.
(1)Is China the only country that uses 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers in the world?
(2)What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China?
(3)Why does China use 1l digits for mobile phone numbers?
(4)When can a mobile phone number be recycled in China?
(5)Which country perhaps has the shortest mobile phone numbers in the world?
"May we all be blessed with longevity.Though miles apart,we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together(但愿人长久,千里共婵娟)."wrote Su Shi,a poet during the Song Dynasty,in his well﹣known poem to his younger brothers Su Zhe.
The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar(阴历).On this day,people celebrate Mid﹣Autumn Festival.It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country.
In ancient China,that day was a harvest(收获)festival because crops(庄稼)were harvested during that period.It was a time for relaxation and celebration.
Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries,families also try to get together for the Mid﹣Autumn Festival in China.Usually,no matter how far away or how busy they are,people will try to return home for the celebration.
The Mid﹣Autumn has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays.People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs.The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon.The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion(团聚).

Mr. Reynolds, my teacher, hand us a list of thoughts, and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts. I chose the topic "I wonder why things are the way they are."
I wrote down all the questions that puzzled(困扰)me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer, and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper, I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the question.
The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story:
Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(毕业)? Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called "Grandma" ,one day?…
Dad, why can't I stay out until 12: 00? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do I miss being at home? Why do you love me so much?..
Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you.
At the end of my story, I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face.Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive, but on the questions we ask.

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign "NO CHLDREN." "Why can't we bring our children?" "What on earth does the owner want to do?" The parents were surprised and complained angrily.
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?
Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban(禁止) children from his restaurant.
Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only.
(3)In fact,many other restaurants have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There's one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in dealing with the problem. They rewarded(奖励)well﹣behaved children to encourage parents to control their children.
(4)These methods may be useful for a while,but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.

When Dr. Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.
Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr. McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.
Dr. McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.
What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance: The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.
That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.
