It’s the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell-phones. They want to log on (登录) to their microblogs (微博) to check the funny things that have happened in the last hour. Since last year, the trend (潮流) of microblogging has swept the country. Recent surveys show that most students in middle schools have a microblog, and some even update(更新) their blogs over five times per day.
“We learn many fresh and interesting things on microblogs and they have become popular topics in class,” said Liang Jianmin, 14, a student at Harbin No 3 Middle School. “If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop (被排挤在圈外).” It is also a great place for students to let out stress. “My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but actually it adds pressure (压力),” said Zhang Yazhe, 15, a student in Luohu Foreign Languages School. “When I share these feelings on my microblog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better.” But parents are worried that microblogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading（误导性的） messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
Shen Mingde, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about microblogging. Instead, it can become a window for parents to understand their children.
“If parents can read their children’s microblogs, they’ll know their thoughts, thus (因而) leading to better communication and solutions to problems,” he said. Micro blogging tips for kids

Maybe most people know that there is water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution around us, but few people know that there is another kind of pollution—light pollution. In fact, it can be everywhere, depending on the time of the day.
Light pollution is the result of the wasted energy. Instead of providing light for people on the earth, most bright light shines into the sky, because people don’t design lights very well. At the same time, lights are brighter than necessary. All these cause light pollution. Stars in the night sky always provide everyone with wonderful sights(景色), but light pollution prevents them from being seen.
Some scientists say that light pollution can also bring some health problems to people, especially to kids. So it’s the high time for us to do something useful to stop light pollution.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。
1.Light pollution isn’t serious enough for us to stop it now.
2.All the people know light pollution well today.
3.Most light shines into the sky instead of providing light for people.
4.People in big cities can’t see stars clearly in the night sky.
5.Light pollution doesn’t do harm to people’s health.
