The first person I met in my high school was my deskmate, with that I fell in love at first sight.
She was warm-hearted and always wore a honest smile on her face. I was homesick in the first few days, unable to adjust the new school. It was with her help which I got familiar with the school. However, what impressed me most was her diligence and determine. When faced with a challenge in study, she would try out her best to solve it. Whenever I was in trouble, she would encourage myself and help me out. But for her encouragement, I wouldn’t have progressed so fast and steady.

Helicopter parenting refers to a style of parents who are over focused on their children.
1. For example, it can increase feelings of love and acceptance.However, helicopter parenting may be harmful to children’s development in the following ways.
Decreased confidence and selfesteem (自尊)．The message the parents’ overinvolvement sends to kids is “my parents don’t trust me to do this on my own”．2.
Increased anxiety.A study from the University of Mary Washington has shown that overparenting is associated with higher levels of child anxiety and depression.
Undeveloped problemsolving skills.If parents are always there to clean up a child’s mess or prevent the problem in the first place, how does the child ever learn to deal with loss, disappointment, or failure？3.
Strengthened sense of entitlement (权利)．Children who have always had their social, academic, and athletic lives adjusted by their parents to best fit their needs can become accustomed to always having their way and thus they develop a sense of entitlement.
4. Parents who always tie shoes, clear plates, and pack lunches, even after children are able to do the tasks, prevent their children from mastering these life skills themselves.
So, parents should let children struggle, allow them to be disappointed, and when failure occurs, help them to work through it.5. Remember: taking one step back from solving children’s problems will help build the independent, and selfconfident kids.
A．Weakened life skills.
B．Damaged life experiences.
C．And this distrust leads to a lack of confidence.
D．Helicopter parenting has many benefits for children.
E．Parents should also let children do tasks they are physically and mentally able to do.
F．Making your 3yearold’s bed sounds reasonable, while making your 13yearold’s bed doesn’t.
G．Studies found helicopter parenting can make children feel less able in dealing with the stresses of life on their own.
Riding on an exercise bike at home may keep you in physical shape, but it can get pretty boring after a while. Aaron Puzey had been on his exercise bike for half an hour a day for years when he decided to look for a way to make it a bit more fun.
With virtual reality technology widely available nowadays, all he needed to do was find a way of applying it to his needs. So he set out to build an app for the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR headset(头戴式视图器) which would allow him to hook it up to Google Street view and make it seem like he's cycling through different real-life locations.
Building the app to download the 3D data from Street View and make it viewable in the VR headset was the toughest part of his project. Other than that, all he needed to do was tape a Bluetooth monitor to his exercise bike. Although the quality of the images sometimes leaves a lot to be desired, leaving complex scenes like trees looking like a mess, Aaron has been having a lot of fun on his journey.
Aaron's project is obviously no substitute(替代品) for real outdoor cycling as it lacks things like the wind blowing in your face or the pain of battling an uphill climb, but it has given him a goal, as well as the chance to take in the beauty of places he might have otherwise never seen. It definitely beats staring at a wall or at the TV for 30 minutes, anyway.
Obviously, Aaron's set up the officially allows him to ride a bike anywhere around the world. He says he has always wanted to see Japan, so once his ride comes to an end, he plans to start another one across the Land of the Rising Sun.
1.Why did Aaron Puzey build the app?
A.To invent a new kind of bicycle B.To participate in a competition.
C.To satisfy the needs of the public. D.To add fun to his exercise bike routine
2.Which of the following can best describe Aaron Puxey?
A.Creative. B.Ambitious.
C.Funny. D.Boring.
3.What was the challenge for Puzey in his project?
A.Changing the 3D data into pictures.
B.Downloading the software from the Internet.
C.Making the 3D data viewable in the headset.
D.Taping a Bluetooth monitor lo his exercise bike.
4.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Cycling Across the World at Home
B.The Lazy Man and His Crazy Idea
C.A New Way of Cycling Without Effort
D.A Substitute for Real Outdoor Cycling
