    As Shanghai prepared to introduce mandatory(强制的) garbage sorting on July 1, games and toys that examined fun ways to spread information about the garbage sorting were to encourage younger people to take action.

A 15-second video of a game went on Chinese social media. In the video, players wearing VR(虚拟) headsets saw four different types of trash can in front of them, and had to throw different types of garbage into the right buckets() to get points. Although it was not the only VR game in the place, visitors lined up around the booth to explore it because of the garbage-sorting theme.

“As a Shanghai, I am in great need of this game. Maybe I won’t need to check how to categorize(分类) each piece of garbage on my phone while going through all my garbage every day if I play this game more often, ” said ZhouZhou, a young Shanghai. But some social media users in Shanghai have complained about the difficulty of sorting different types of garbage.

Wu Xia, founder and CEO of VitrellaCore, the company that created the game, said the idea was to provide an interesting way of learning about garbage sorting. “It’s simple and easy to understand. People can practice sorting garbage without actually going through their trash, and it is a more effective method than using paper materials when training volunteers,” Wu said.

    A school in Buffalo, New York has filled a vending machine(自动售货机) with books to get young students more interested in reading.

Lock up a lot of books behind a wall of glass and with a special gold coin students at the school can pick out their favorite books. They get to take the books home for free. And the best part? It’s not a system based on behavior or attendance. The process is designed so that every student will get a chance to use the machine at some point.

The idea was first introduced by the assistant principal, Unseld Robinson, who was inspired by another school he visited doing similar. He thought it could be a funny way to get parents and students at his school to read. Now, after a year of fund-raising,the machine has been filled with over $1,000 worth of books—all of which will be continuously added through various donations(捐赠).

Robinson says that many children in Buffalo are not reading as much as they should. So the idea of the vending machine was “to encourage reading in and out of school as well as increase every child’s overall excitement about reading.”

1.How do the students of the school get the book from the machine?

A.By asking the head teacher.

B.By using some cash.

C.By using some special coin.

D.By exchanging the books with new ones.

2.Who can get a free book from the machine?

A.The student with the best behavior.

B.The student with the best attendance.

C.The student with real gold coins.

D.The student with good luck.

3.What do people think of the activity?

A.Boring. B.Meaningful and useful. C.Useless. D.Doubtful.

4.Why did the assistant principal use this method?

A.The students here didn’t read enough books.

B.The school could get more donations.

C.The students here could earn extra money.

D.The school could improve the students’ score.

    How many phone numbers can you remember by heart? It’s probably fewer than you would like. Actually, you’re not alone. Some said that they couldn’t recall the phone numbers of their friends and neighbors. And others said that they couldn’t remember their relatives, phone numbers. In their eyes, there is no point in filling their heads with phone numbers if they’re all stored in smart phones that are with them almost all the time.

In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia(健忘). More than 90% those agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote memorization(死记硬背) was once an important part of education, but we just need a click the computer or slide now. That’s making us worse at remembering things.

However, I believe that there are more risks to this new world of memory beyond losing our ability to recall some information such as who the 15th President was. That kind of information may always be a click away, but the important things are personal ones, like the way your parents smile at your wedding. It’s harder to recall or find online. If you’re relying on yourself to keep track of those memories, they will be much more meaningful.

1.Paragraph 1 is mainly used to ________.

A.serve as the background of memory B.introduce the topic

C.explain a new research D.study people’s memory

2.What’s the main cause of people’s suffering from digital amnesia?

A.Dealing with too many things.

B.Seldom thinking about questions.

C.Relying on the Internet too much.

D.The changes of their meme.

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s memories now?

A.Worried. B.Optimistic. C.Disappointed. D.Confident.
