My hobby is rock climbing. I’ve been doing them for two years. In the beginning, I wasn’t very good, so I’ve gotten much better. I started rock climbing in junior high school. On first day, I felt high nervous, so I only climbed low rocks. It was hard, but very interested. So I kept on work, and now I could climb very fast. I like rock climbing because of it helps me stay in shape. It’s also a good way to make friend. I’ve met a lot of people. We climb, but we also hang out and spend time doing another things now.

Keeping the memory in shape is important at any age,but it requires a bit more work as we grow. There are some simple activities that can improve your memory.1.
Awaken your senses.
Use your senses to help your memory store(储存) needed information.2.You can ask yourself like this: Is the sky a light blue or deep purple? The more involved(参与的) you can be in the information, the easier it is for your brain to store it.
Use imagination and relation.
Trying to remember names? Let’s say you meet a man named Frank Parker.3.Tie the two together by picturing Frank dressed up in a hot dog costume(服装) parking his car in the parking lot. Now each time you see Frank ,you should easily recall his name.
Breathe deeply and relax.
4.Relax, breathe deeply and slowly and let your mind ease up for a minute. Being relaxed makes it easier for information to be both stored and remembered.
5.
When you come upon something you need to remember, say to yourself,“Hey, pay attention and remember this! ”You are giving yourself a wake-up call as well as giving your mind a marker that it can use to help in storing the new information.

Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned (禁止) at school for all children under 15 in France. Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.
“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worry me as a parent.”
There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.
McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.
McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they’re not allowed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨) ,” but now they’re seeing the advantages. “They come to school and they’re not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.
“It’s been wonderful in terms of students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” she said.
Ms Binnion also leads by example and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”
Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.
“A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2018 state-of-play.”

A. Some teachers were against it at first.

D. Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.
3.What does the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?
A. A book. B. A notebook.
C. A learning website. D. A kind of computer.
4.What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?
A. It will disconnect parents and kids. B. It will cause kids to communicate less.
C. It will prevent kids being tech-minded. D. It will make education go back 60 years.
