Nowadays, Wechat is becoming more and more1in China. No matter where we are, we can send text or voice messages to our friends. We can also find a stranger to talk to by shaking the 2. Another funny function(作用) is that Wechat can help to search for people 3 live nearby with the app on. Many people like this function, 4 it can help them to find more people who they may know.
In my opinion, Wechat is really 5 useful chatting tool. It can help people 6 with their friends more easily. 7, it is also bad for people, especially for students. As you see, some people use Wechat 8 too long. It is not healthy. So I have some advice on using it in a correct way. First, we should not use it when we are studying. We can't focus on our study if we use it. Second, we must be careful. We should neither show too much personal information 9 trust(相信)strangers so much
We should learn how to use it properly(正确地). Remember, Wechat is not everything in your life. 10 depend too much on it.
Recently, many people have begun to try a new way of shopping through the Internet. They are very interested in it. Why is it becoming more and more popular now? There are some reasons. First, more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do some shopping through the Internet. Second, shopping through the Internet can save some money and a lot of time. Third, they don't need to go to the shop themselves, Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.
However, some people don't like this new way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping online, Customers can only see the pictures of a product on the Internet. And they can't enjoy the pleasure of buying things in a large supermarket or a wonderful shopping centre. These are the reasons why they do not like it.
But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.
What should you take with you when you take an exam? Pens, pen an eraser, a ruler, and don't forget a bottle of water.
According to a study at the British Psychological(心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exam halls may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees(学位) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists said having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a positive effect on our brains. "Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety (焦虑)which had a bad effect on exam performances," said Chris Paw son, PhD of the University of East London.
"Whatever the explanation is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated(含水的) during exams," he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. Who knows—it may help you pass the exam!
a. It is good for their brains. b. It makes students smarter
c. It helps students stay cool. d. It helps students stay awake
A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software(面部识别软件). It can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package has been taken to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home.
Janina Mattausch is the product marketing manager for Netatmo.
"The common security(安全)camera at present are not that smart. They can tell if something is moving but they don't necessarily know if it's a human being or, ah, if it's your kids. They don't know the difference, so they will warn you all the time."
When family members enter a home, the new camera "recognizes(识别)" them and sends information to the owner's smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner's smartphone.
That is what happened recently to an owner of the smart camera named Damien, He lives in Paris.
"On a Friday I was at work, attending(出席) a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself, 'Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again.' But the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize."
He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw. "I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable and frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way."
With the help of the video, the police found the intruder(闯A者) later that day.
Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other. In India, most people consider the reduction(减少) of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called go Reader has created a "schoolbag" which is the size of laptop, weighing about 2.5 kg. "the go Reader has a colour screen and can 'hold' all the textbooks that a student may need, "says a report in the Asian Age.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers (出版商) of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is download(下载) their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katz Mann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is an end to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?
Nowadays children are spending too much time and money on computer games. As a result, some people even suggest that video games should be done away with. They are nothing but a great waste of time, money and energy. I totally agree with them.
First of all, too much indulgence(沉溺)in the computer games may lead to the deterioration of children's physical health. Children desert the football ground as they all sit at home around the computers playing the football game. So they can't be physically fit and strong. Moreover, facing the computer for a long time, children easily suffer from myopia(近视).
Secondly, computer games distract(分散) children's attention from their studies. They finish their homework in a hurry, or even copy their
classmates', in order to squeeze(挤出)time to play games.
Therefore, video arcades(电子游戏厅)should be banned in cities and towns. Teenagers will be much better without the temptation of video games. They should be encouraged to do more meaningful and valuable things like reading, studying, and going to concerts and museums.
It's important to stay healthy during our life. But in our daily life there (be) many health problems, like smoking, drinking eating too much fast food. Because of these, many people die and most children become heavier. In fact, if we care more about ourselves, it will be much (easy) to stay healthy. First of all, we must keep away from smoke and drinking. Secondly, we should do exercise every day. We can walk to school instead taking a bus or a car if it's not far. Thirdly, we can't eat too much fast food. We should eat more fruit and vegetables. Fourthly, we must have enough sleep. When we work or study too late, it will make us (tire). We should sleep at least eight hours a night. Well feel and work better if we get enough (sleepy) every night. (final), I think friends are another important part of ones (healthy). Many studies show that people always feel better they are with friends than when they're alone. So, be sure to make more friends.
