TENCENT（腾讯）announced yesterday that it will limit the daily time for youngsters to play its popular King of Glory（王者荣耀）game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas thought their kids spent too much time playing it.
From tomorrow, children younger than 12 will only be allowed to play the game for no more than one hour a day, and after 9 p. m. , they can't log into（登入）it, said Tencent. Teenagers older than 12 will be able to play no more than two hours a day. The game system will remind players the time they have been playing and young players will be forced to log out when the time is up. Tencent thought these were the most strict ways in China to stop addiction（上瘾）and the company expected parents didn't need to worry about their kids as before.
There have been several cases reported that children had spent too much money-as well as time-on King of Glory, so did teenagers. Tencent said it will add a new function（功能）to help parents to control children using its games.
Since February, parents can receive messages when children log in and spend money on the game after they connect children's game accounts（账号）with their mobile phone numbers. Now, parents can connect phones or computers that their children use to play games, so that they can always keep an eye on the children even if they have several game accounts, Tencent said. It added the ways covered its 200 games, and about 700,000 accounts have been connected to parents' phone numbers.
Song Zhe, a father of a Shanghai high school student, welcomed the ways but was not sure if they would be useful. "I like the new system, but I'm not sure if it is useful, after all, our kids are clever. " he said.
It was the first term of high school. Our head teacher and Chinese teacher was a nice young girl. At her first lesson; she stood in front of our classroom for a while and said, "I am a'blind' teacher. "
"Impossible!"all the students were surprised and said, "How could you be a blind teacher?"
"I am really a'blind' teacher. I can't find my mistakes while teaching. So I would like you to help me find them with your bright eyes. I'm sure you can do it."
All the students listened with attention and tried to find her mistakes the whole lesson. A term later. we had got used to listening with attention to all the teachers. We learnt in this way until we finished our high school. Most students in our class went to college.
At the graduation ceremony(毕业典礼), we all took photos with her. I wrote some sentences at the back of the photo:"You're not a 'blind' teacher. Like a boat. like a bridge. you send us to the other bank of wisdom(智慧). You are the loveliest person in the world. "
The earth is (we) home. We must take care of it. Life today is easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it (bring) some new problems. One of the biggest problems (be) pollution. We can see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has polluted the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up(用光) or the river was not clean in a place, man went to another place. Now man is (slow) polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for (live) things in the world.
Many (country) don't let people burn(燃烧) anything bad for air in houses, and factories in the city. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It's caused by(由……引起) heavy traffic. People say it's best (ride) bikes. When you are riding, there is no pollution. But even in developed countries, most people don't go to work (介词) bike. It's not because bikes are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work. It's because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger. So more people put away their bikes and go to work by car, then things are getting worse (连词) worse. We should have special roads only for bikes and make it so (difficult) and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bikes.
