Known for its complicated, seemingly wavelike sandstone walls and the rays of sunlight that shine into them, Arizona's Antelope Canyon（羚羊峡谷）is an everlasting attraction for tourists. It's a slot canyon, meaning it formed from water carving it out over millions of years. It sits about 3, 700 feet above sea level and takes its name from the antelope that once lived in it.

The canyon forms part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation limits visits to either the Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon to two hours and requires all visitors to be led by authorized guides. If you're planning a trip and need help deciding which area to visit, keep these recommendations in mind.

•When: Tours are available twice a day during the week year-round, though exact times vary by season；tours are not available on weekends or major holidays.

•Cost: Tour companies 5 fees vary, but tickets, including entrance to the park, generally start at around $ 60 for 90-minute tours of Upper Antelope Canyon. Tours of Lower Antelope Canyon tend to be around an hour and generally cost around $ 40 per adult and $ 20 for children.

• Must-know tip: Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time, though the Navajo Nation, where Antelope Canyon is located, does. Check with your tour operator to confirm the precise time of your tour.

Antelope Canyon hosts tons of visitors and, in order to protect the canyon walls from damage, no bags of any kind are permitted in either the Upper or Lower section. Also keep in mind that while most tour companies welcome small children, not all of them will.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic where I was hiding out. I heard a laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped. Our house was noisier since my new stepsister and step-mother moved in — Jen and Mom.

I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched (夹脚). I didn’t remember my own mother; she had died in an accident when I was a baby. It had always been just Dad and me. We were a team. Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.

I heard Dad’s footsteps upstairs. “Do you want to take Jen skating?” he asked.

“I guess.” I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey.

“Thanks,” Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. “We’ll make that snowman later,” he promised.

“Yeah,” I agreed, not too sure we’d have time.

Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed our skates. I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn’t help but feel as if she were changing everything.

“No, thanks. I’m not hungry,” I said, although I was, a little.

“Ready?” I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.

The snow crunched under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was awkward. “Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked, blurting out the first thing that came to my mind.

Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”

Until then, I’d never even thought about how Jen must be feeling. She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother; she had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she’d had to move up north with us. She’d had more changes than me.

Making the Most of Life Experiences

If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is, you’ll likely receive wildly different responses. The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 1.

Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day. Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.

Follow your dreams.

The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams. Passion will die without actions supporting them. 2.Every day take an action, no matter how small, to achieve your goals. Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.

Make lots of mistakes.

3. Many of my strongest memories come from the times I’ve failed，and those lessons have stayed with me. Failure is beneficial to us. And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.

Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down. These prevent us from moving forward. So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional stale. If you’re under stress, your body and mind both require time to recover. 5.

For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, work hard, and fail before we can achieve success. Maybe we’ll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination .

A.Take care of yourself.

B.Improve your personality.

C.Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.

D.It’s best to rest, recover, and slowly build back up your strength.

E.Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences.

F.Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes, it is impossible to avoid them.

G.Though we can’t choose the outcome of our actions, we can choose to keep pursuing(追求）.

Teenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk ofdeveloping ADHD (多动症), a study has concluded.

The research team, from the University of Southern California, tracked 2,600teenagers aged 15 and 16. They asked them how many times they checked theirphones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD. After two years, those who had checked their phones the mostoften were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs ofADHD.

Writing in the JAMA medical journal, the scientists said, “Modern mediadevices immediately inform users when new text messages, social media postings, or videogame play invitations arrive. Exposure to such information may drawattention away from important tasks. Frequent distraction could interrupt thedevelopment of constant attention and organization skills.”

They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact. Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD and televisions. “What’s new is that previous studies on thistopic were done many years ago, when social media, mobile phones, tablets andmobile apps didn’t exist. We can say with confidence that teens who are exposedto higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHDsymptoms in the future,” he said.

Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how newmobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk forchildren. And the findings serve as a warning.

British scientists welcomed the findings. But Professor Andy Przybylski of theOxford Internet Institute said, “The study relies on survey responses provided bythe students in question. It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the childrensimilarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with eitheractual behavior or higher quality survey items.”

1.How did the researchers conduct the study?

A.By monitoring 2,600 teenagers with ADHD.

B.By tracking the participants for two years.

C.By analyzing data from previous researches online.

D.By controlling different teens’ time spent on social media.

2.What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media?

A.It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms.

B.It will create higher ADHD risks.

C.It will weaken teenagers’ confidence.

D.It will have a major influence on organization skills.

3.What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study?

A.It provides a better understanding of the media.

B.It should have focused on parents’ responses.

C.Its findings are not reliable enough.

D.It’s a breakthrough in this field.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The use of digital media is on the rise

B.Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHD

C.Heavy use of social media may increase ADHD risks

D.Teens’ exposure to modern media calls more attention

“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together，don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.

Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区）in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather，it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds，some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.

Located on a former landfill site，the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However，instead of duty-free shopping，the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.

“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city---China’s fourth most populous----that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs•

1.The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?

A. Visitors. B. Designers.

C. Endangered water birds. D. Planes.

2.What do we know about the airport according to the passage?

A. People cannot watch birds up close here.

B. It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.

C. It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.

D. It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The airport will become a permanent home for birds.

B. Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.

C. Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.

D. Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.

4.What is this passage mainly about?

A. Airports shut down and open up.

B. China is to open the first Bird Airport.

C. Airports turn into green lungs.

D. Birds are no longer enemies to airports.

Don't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A University of lowa(UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.

"For the teenager, 'the rewards are attractive." says Professor Jatin Vaidya，an author of the study. "They draw adolescent. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults ."

For parents,that means limiting distraction (分心的事情）so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facehook or Twitter, the researchers advise. "I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology," Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”

In their study,Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive（冲动的)，make bad decisions，and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes（额叶）of their trains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered. whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.

"We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system how it change from chillhood to adulthood," Says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,”he adds.For their study ,the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16,and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.

In the future,researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological（神经学上的）aspects of their results.

1.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.

B.Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.

C.Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.

D.Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.

2.Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea?

A.The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.

B.Parents should help children in making decisions.

C.Children should have access to the Internet.

D.Children need help in refocusing their attention.

3.What result does teenagers' brain underdevelopment lead to?

A.Doing things after some thought.

B.Making good decisions.

C.Joining in dangerous actions.

D.Escaping risky behavior.

4.How did the researchers carry out their study?

A.By making a comparison of brain examinations.

B.By examining adults’ brain.

C.By examining teenage brain.

D.By building the train’s reward system.

I love camping. It is my favoritest way to spend the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and what I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services,where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts,where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.

There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay in a hotel. The hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels(公寓旅馆). However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.

In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites (套房) , which include two or more rooms connected together - perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.

Le Trung, 33, has spent ￡14,000 creating Aiko, who he describes as “in her 20s” with a 32, 33 figure, shiny hair and delicate features.

She can speak English and Japanese and is so accomplished at mathematics she can do Mr Trung’s accounts.Mr Trung, from Brampton in Ontario，Canada，said he has never had time to find a real partner—so he designed and created his ideal woman using the latest technology.

The former software programmer has taken out credit cards and loans, sold his car and spent his life savings on perfecting his “fembot”.

Now he is desperate to find a corporate sponsor to help him complete and perfect Aiko.

He said : “Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty. I want to make her look, feel and act as human as possible so she can be the perfect companion. I talk to her a lot, and hope to improve her knowledge. So far she can understand and speak 13, 000 different sentences in English and Japanese, so she’s already fairly intelligent. Aiko recognises faces and says hello when any of my family comes around to visit. She helps me pick what to have for dinner and knows what drinks I like.

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.

Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.

“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US. Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags. But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.

But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.

Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.

Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!

1.From the passage we can know that______ .

A.only children in China carry too heavy school bags

B.both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

C.children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags

D.only children in the US carry too heavy school bags

2.According to the doctor, Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over ________.

A.5 kilos B.3 kilos

C.5.5 kilos D.4.5 kilos

3.Some students think the best answer to his problems is that______ .

A.they should have a little homework to do after they get home

B.their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework

C.they should only take home library books they will read that night

D.they should use thin workbooks instead of thick ones

A man named Smith was sitting on his roof during a flood, and the water was up to his feet. Before long a fellow in a canoe passed and shouted, “Can I give you a lift to higher ground?”

“No, thanks,” said Smith. “I have faith in God and he will save me.”

Soon the water rose to Smith’s waist. At this point a motor boat pulled up and someone called out, “Can I give you a lift to higher ground?”

“No, thanks, I have faith in God and he will save me.”

“No, thanks,” said Smith. “I have faith in God and he will save me.” But after hours of struggling with water, poor exhausted Smith drowned and went to his reward. As he arrived at the Pearly Gates, Smith met God and complained about this. “Tell me, God,” he said, “I had such faith in you to save me and you let me drown. What happened?”

It's free and requires no equipment. Besides, the scenery can be amazing. It's no wonder running is among the world’ s most popular sports. Research suggests running can significantly improve your health. 1.

Running just once a week, or 50 minutes a week, reduces the risk of death at a given point in time. 2. This is good news for those who don't have much time on their hands for exercise. But it shouldn't discourage those who enjoy running longer and more often. We found even "hardcore" running (for example, every day or four hours a week) is beneficial for health. Nor do the benefits necessarily increase by running at high speeds. We found similar benefits for running at any speed between 8 and 13 km/h. It might be that running at your own "most comfortable pace" is the best for your health.

3. Running may lead to overuse injuries. These occur as a consequence of repeated mechanical stress on the tissue without enough time for recovery. Sudden death is also likely to happen during exercise, though, this occurs very rarely.

Therefore, for beginning runners, start slow and gradually increase the pace, duration and weekly frequency. Set your aim at 50 minutes a week or more, and run at a comfortable speed.

If you don't like running alone, consider doing it along with others. 4. It can be hard to start running, but it shouldn't be too hard. 5. There are more than 800 other interesting sports to choose from. The benefits of many other sports (such as swimming, tennis, cycling and aerobics) are comparable to the ones found for running.

A.If you don't like running, don't force it.

B.However, keep it in mind that there are risks as well.

C.It also indicates you needn't run fast or far to gain the benefit.

D.It can increase your motivation and provide a fun social experience.

E.Running may help you live longer but more isn't necessarily better.

F.The benefit doesn't seem to increase or decrease with higher amounts of running.

G.Doing it in many sessions spread across the week brings much more benefits.

Australian consumers in Adelaide are taking part in a study to help realize the potential for edible（可食用的）insects as a food industry. Consumers' attitudes are being put to the test at Adelaide Central Market with an offering of roasted crickets and ants, mealworm cookies and cricket energy bars.

Researchers want to further probe consumers' attitudes towards edible insects, and evaluate taste preferences and consumers5 willingness to buy such products. In an earlier online survey of 820 Australian consumers, the researchers found that 20% had tried edible insects. Of those surveyed, 46% said they'd be willing to try a cookie made from insect flour.

" In the earlier survey, consumers said they were most likely to try flavored or roasted insects and least likely to want to try cockroaches or spiders," Dr Crump says. "In this taste test, we've chosen products that consumers are most likely to react positively towards―apologies to anyone keen to try a cockroach or spider. The samples we'll be offering consumers provide a good spread of the available insect products in Australia' s marketplaces, some of which may be more acceptable than others."

Dr Crump says the research will help guide the development of an edible insect industry. In Australia, edible insects remain a new agricultural industry. Consumer research is needed to improve consumer acceptance of edible insects, so as to realize their potential as an alternative protein（蛋白质）source.

Professor Kerry Wilkinson says edible insects could play a role in global food security. "Problems such as climate change, increasing global population, shortage of agricultural land and rapidly changing consumer preferences are common, particularly in developing countries where there is an increasing demand for high quality animal protein," he says. "These food security problems will only be overcome by a change in food consumption habits. Edible insects could provide one solution. We want to look at ways of overcoming barriers to insect consumption in Australia.

1.What does the underlined word "probe" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A.Explore. B.Influence. C.Describe. D.Compare.

2.Why have the researchers chosen certain insect products for the taste test?

A.Because they are richer in protein than other insects.

B.Because it is not difficult to flavor or roast them.

C.Because they are widely acceptable in Australia.

D.Because they are probably to consumers' taste.

3.In Kerry Wilkinson's opinion, how can consumers help remove food security problems?

A.By taking in less animal protein.

B.By changing their eating habits.

C.By expanding agricultural land.

D.By controlling their appetite.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Insects Make Food Security No Longer a Problem

B.Could Edible Insects Help Global Food Security?

C.Edible Insects Prove an Alternative Protein Source

D.What Counts Most When It Gomes to Edible Insects?

A group of scientists trained dogs to detect(发现)a crop disease called citrus greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas. The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. Using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.

Timothy Gottwald is a researcher in the study. He said, “This technology is thousands of years old — the dog's nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey：the bacteria that cause a very damaging crop disease.”

Citrus greening is caused by a kind of bacteria that are spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected(感染)，there is' no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect the disease, the better chance you have at stopping healthy trees being infected by removing infected ones,” Gottwald said.

Professor Matteo Garbelotto says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before present methods. He has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.

Laura Sims is a plant scientist. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant's reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.

Gottwald said, "You've seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms."

1.What does the text say about citrus greening?

A.It mainly damages tree branches.

B.It' s impossible to detect at an early stage.

C.Dogs can better detect it than humans.

D.Humans have to analyze tree roots to detect it.

2.How does a dog detect citrus greening?

A.By tasting. B.By touching.

C.By observing. D.By Sniffing.

3.Early detection of citrus greening enables farmers to ______.

A.help infected trees to recover B.keep it from spreading further

C.improve the quality of fruit. D.better protect infected trees

4.Which of the following statements reflects Gottwald's opinion?

A.Dogs will take the place of humans to conduct risky jobs.

B.Trained dogs make no mistakes in citrus greening detection.

C.Dogs use plants' reaction to an infection to help with their detection.

D.Using dogs for citrus greening detection will be more widespread.

Walter Osipoff was an experienced parachutist（伞兵）.He had already made more than 20 jumps by May 15 , 1941. That morning, Osipoff trained his soldiers to practice jumps. Three boxes, containing weapons, were also to be parachuted overboard as part of the exercise.

Most of the soldiers had already jumped when Osipoff, standing a few inches from the plane's door, started to push out the last box. Somehow his parachute was suddenly opened. Instead of flowing free, Osipoff’s parachute now wrapped itself around the plane's tail wheel. He was now hanging below the tail of the plane. The soldiers struggled to pull Osipoff to safety, but they could not reach him. The plane was starting to run low on fuel, but an emergency landing with Osipoff dragging behind would certainly kill him. And pilots had no radio contact with the ground. To attract attention below, they eased the transport plane down to 300 feet and started circling the airport.

Meanwhile, Bill Lowrey and John McCants saw the trouble at the same time. As the plane circled once again, Lowrey yelled to McCants, “We must save him!” Lowrey's plane took off quickly. Within minutes, they made five approaches, but the air proved too bumpy（颠簸）to try for a rescue. Lowrey flew back once again and edged the plane closer. McCants, standing upright in the back, reached for Osipoff. He grabbed him at the waist and pulled Osipoff into the plane. Lowrey then nosed his plane inch by inch closer to the transport and used his propeller（螺旋桨）to cut the parachute lines. After hanging for 33 minutes between life and death, Osipoff was finally free.

Three weeks later, Lowrey and McCants were awarded for accomplishing “one of the most brilliant and daring rescues in history". Osipoff spent the next six months in hospital. The following January, he went back to parachute jumping.

1.What happened to Walter Osipoff on May 15,1941 ?

A.He was trapped in a skydiving incident.

B.He threw weapon containers by mistake.

C.His soldiers refused to practice parachuting.

D.His parachute failed because of his carelessness.

2.Why did the transport plane circle the airport?

A.To inform the ground crew to refuel for it.

B.To warn other planes to keep away from it.

C.To show the dangerous situation to the ground.

D.To tell the ground to receive weapon containers.

3.How did Lowrey and McCants perform the rescue?

A.They pushed Osipoff back into the plane.

B.They boarded the transport plane to help.

C.They flew under Osipoff* s plane to free him.

D.They guided the transport plane to land safely.

4.What did people think of Lowrey and McCants' behavior?

A.Fearless. B.Subjective. C.Confidential. D.Tentative.

It’s both an exciting but frightening experience for parents the moment their teenager obtains a driver’s license. Here are some of the best and most recommended apps for teen drivers and for their parents’ peace of mind.

Safe Driver

This app works by monitoring the position and the driving speed of your child. You can also set a speed limit. Whenever your child drives over this speed limit, an alert(警报)will be sent to your phone. Its only drawback is that it’s only effective when your child opens the app on their phone while driving.

Drive Safely

If you’re scared of your teenagers’ tendencies to be on the phone while driving, this is a great app for them to use. Whenever a text message comes in, it’ll read the text message out loud. The driver needn’t take their hands off the wheel in order to check text messages on their phone. The user can even respond to the message via voice.

Textecution

This app locks a driver’s phone while he or she is driving, preventing the user from gaining access to any of the SMS functions of the phone. Parents can be alerted via the app’s website. For example, you’ll be sent an alert in the event that the driver has requested permission to access their phone’s messaging function. This function can only be activated if the driver is safely parked or in the event of an accident. If ever your child removes the application from their phone, parents can be informed, too.

Life 360

The initial purpose of this app is connecting family members together. Through the app, you can share your position with one another wherever you are. It provides real-time data for parents about position and driving speed. Parents can, therefore, feel safe and secure knowing that their child has reached their intended destination. The application can be turned off. But it’ll inform the members within the app that your child has disabled it.

1.What can the app Safe Driver do?

A.Control the user’s driving speed.

B.Keep working even when it’s turned off.

C.Help teenagers develop good driving habits.

D.Alert parents to their children’s overspeed driving.

2.Which app enables the user to receive and answer text messages easily while driving?

A.Safe Driver. B.Drive Safely. C.Textecution. D.Life 360.

3.What do Textecution and Life 360 have in common?

A.They are intended to bring family members closer.

B.Teenagers can’t delete them without parents’ permission.

C.Parents can know if they stop working on teenagers' phones.

D.They offer parents real-time data about position and driving speed.

When the news came that the 2022 Winter Olympics would be hold in China, I felt very thrilled. It struck to me how I learned skating when I was a child. At 7, I began to go crazy about skating, like all my friend. At the beginning, it extremely tough for me to keep my balance. I always fall over on the ground, as the result of which I thought I had no gift for skating. So I gradually lost confidence and became impatient. The more impatient I was, the more terrible I did. I was about to give up while my father came to my assistance. Encouraged by her, I restored confidence and stood up again. As I practiced skating, he always created a relaxed atmosphere and put forward some specific suggestions. Eventually, I made it.
