①Everyone has a family name. In China, the family name is the first name, but in English countries the family name is the last name. Do you know how English people get their family names? And what do they mean? English people usually get their family names in these ways(方式).
②Some family names are from the places of their homes. If a man lives on or near a hill, his family name may be(可能是)Hill. In England, people's names may be Wood or Lake because the wood(树林) or the lake is near their house.
③Some family names are from a person's job. If a person is a cook, his family name may be Cook.
④And many people get their family names from their fathers' family names. If you hear the name "Jackson", you can know that he is the son of Jack.
Mr. Brown is 75 years old. He lives in a small village by himself. He has three sons—David, Jeff and Stefan. They are in big cities. And they don't come to see Mr. Brown very often.

There is a school next to Mr. Brown's house. Some students often come to see Mr. Brown. They sing songs for him and chat with him. Sometimes, they even bring him some gifts made by themselves. Mr. Brown is happy to see them. He always tells stories to them. And he looks forward to see them again every time when they leave. When Mr. Brown dies, he gives his house and money to the school. He says, "I don't want money. I want love. And the students give it to me."
We use our smart phones to carry out many tasks every day. Many of us become so reliant(依赖的) on them. However, it is bad for our eyes and health to spend too much time on phones.
A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal emails and WeChat(微信). And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news, and send a message or two to friends. After getting up, they often take photos of food, and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that users pick up their phones over 1,500 times to do different tasks in an average(平均的) week. And the smart phone users are on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day. That is to say, people use their phones for almost one full day each week.
Using phones can take much time and it's also bad for our health. Many people stay up late to play phones. And mobile phones can influence(影响) our sleep. Without using the phones, many people may feel sad. Many owners also find they use their phones without realizing they're doing so.
How do you think people use their phones too much?
