Smart phones have become an essential part of our daily lives. This is worrying, as long﹣time use of smart phones harms children's eyesight, cervical vertebrae（颈椎）and even the brain. It was reported China had 175 million Internet users under the age of 18, with 74 percent having their own mobile phones.

   It's already common practice in some countries to limit students' use of mobile phones. France passed a law banning the use of mobile phones on school grounds for children under the age of 15. Other countries, including the United States, Italy and Japan, have also passed laws banning students from bringing phones to schools or classrooms.

   The Ministry of Education in China released a notice that restricts primary and middle school students from bringing mobile phones to school. Those who require their phones for some need must get their parents' and teachers' approval and must hand their phones over during class time.

   An English teacher from Beijing noticed that many students lost themselves in their phones. She said, "Most students are short of self﹣control. Spending too much time on the phone prevents them from learning. " A parent from Shanghai said, "The rules are good for children and limiting phone use is the right way to put their focus back on studies. "

   A 16﹣year﹣old student said, "It is unwise to stop all the students taking their phones to school. " He thinks adults can't simply cut them off from the Internet in the digital era and it's more important to cultivate students' ability to manage themselves.

We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the jungle” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. Most other animals in the jungle run more slowly than the lion, so it can hunt better. The lion is the top animal in the land food chain.

In the sea, the shark is at the top of the food chain. Most other sea animals swim much more slowly than it. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.

What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest! We could not catch up with most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.

People’s inventions help a lot, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, many years ago in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves.

The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller.

The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the rabbits destroyed (毁坏) it seriously.

Remember that we are a part of the food chain, we are in danger, too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves. Luckily, people have paid much attention to such problems. We will do more things to keep the balance of ecosystem in the future.

In China, more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate（气候） change. Many young people have been living a low-carbon（低碳） life.

Zheng Xiyu is one of them. She has been trying to reduce her carbon footprint. Every morning, she takes a bus to her office and it takes her about 40 minutes. But Zheng has been thinking of changing this. She wants to try a different means（方式） of transport—cycling. Riding a bicycle to work, the lady says, takes about the same amount of time as taking a bus. “However, it’s better for the environment and my health.” she says.

Professor Li Lin has also been leading a low-carbon lifestyle. Her office uses energy-saving lights. These lights go off themselves when they are not needed. This has saved a large amount of electricity. Another way to save energy is to double-print the paper. Professor Li says small actions like these are important for protecting the environment. “Let’s say you have saved one ton of paper. That’s about two and a half tons of CO2.” Professor Li says.

Lin Hui always chooses products with a longer life when he shops. He says this helps to reduce waste. Two years ago, Lin and his friends set up an environment website, where he wanted to give some advice on saving energy and protecting the environment.

It’s easy to change to a low-carbon lifestyle. Everybody can do this and make a difference.

Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill in the blanks.
