All girls are beautiful

How much should a girl weigh? When I think about this question，I feel confused(困惑的). It all started when I was【1】 to lose weight by my close friend. It is quite an embar-rassing thing for me to mention my weight and height here，but in order to make it much【2】 for you，I can tell you that my weight is 57 kg and my height is 164 cm. I think this is actually just the right weight【3】 me. I don’t remember ever being thin before in my life，maybe I have【4】 like this since 10 years ago. But I don’t feel bad about it and I never think that I need to lose weight.

But it【5】 that many people think every girl who is around my height should weigh less than 50 kg. As a result，lots of girls are trying to lose weight in different【6】 ，such as by taking medicine or exercising. Some girls have lost their confidence because they think they are too fat and not beautiful.

It’s【7】 understandable for people to want to be more attractive. But we have to take care of our【8】 as well. 【9】 weight is a long process and as a student，you might not have enough time to do it. I want to tell all the girls out there that they are beautiful and that it doesn’t matter how much they weigh. You can be anyone you want and wear anything you want. Just be【10】.

Dear classmates,

Safety is very important. Our government and school especially pay attention to teenage safety. It helps us gain a lot of knowledge of safety. And I have learned a lot from it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All in all, we must realize the danger around us and treasure our lives. Safety is always the first priority.

Thank you!

Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.

To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.

The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without banging their heads. They ate mash(a kind of food for animals) and drink water from a garden hose-pipe（軟管）. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.’’

Finally it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great for me to be able to stand up.’’he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone.

A.That they had nothing for amusement.B.That they couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage.

【3】Rob Thompson offered the job in order to ________.

A.make a film about humans and animalsB.advertise for his experiment about animals

C.show how terribly some animals are treatedD.experiment on how long a human can live in a cage

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Pam left without saying anything because she lost the ability after staying with chickens.

B.They were visited all the time except going to the washroom.

Limited Screen Time

What Is It?

The newly app (應用程序) "Limited Screen Time" designed by Thomas Black Company is coming out today. "Limited Screen Time" is a simple app that allows you to set limits on the time your children use an iPhone or iPad.

Background

Parents are worried about the length of time that today's children spend on screen. And long screen time is one of the reasons why kids are short sighted. "Limited Screen Time" is a simple way to help set and control limits to your children's time with an iPhone and iPad.

How Does It Work?

Step One: use your finger across the clock to set the time

Step Two: set the user by typing on the "Users"

Step Three: press "Start"

Step Four: pass your iPhone or iPad to your child and let them use the phone any way you choose. (e. g. apps, Movies, music)

What Happens Next?

After you set the time, the device (裝置) will receive a set of messages alerting (警告) your children that " Your screen time is up" . Your children will be unable to continue using the phone until the passcode is correctly entered.

Graphs (曲線圖)

From the graphs you can see the weekly length of screen time.
