Tiger parents They are strict with their children. They want them to get the best grades in their class. They love their kids in their hearts. |
Dolphin parents They just want their kids to be happy and healthy. They make sure their kids get enough sleep and exercise. |

Helicopter parents They worry too much about their children and "fly" over them like helicopters. Many people think these parents should give their children more freedom . |

Two classmates, Steve and Theo, were in a cafe after school drinking milkshakes. "I don't like math," said Steve, "Why should l study it? I'll never use it after I leave school. "
"Are you kidding?" replied Theo. "You'll use it every day, my friend!" "How?" asked Steve.
"Where do I begin?" said Theo. "Well, any time you buy something—something at the supermarket or something really big, like a car or a house—you'll need math, to work out how much you need to pay. In fact , you'll use math any time you have to ask questions like'How much?' or' How many?'"
"Well, okay," said Steve," but I don't need much math for those things. I'm not planning to become a math professor(教授)!"
"But, Steve, math teaches you to solve problems in many different ways. And it's useful in lots of jobs besides math professor or math teacher. "said Theo. "Like what?" asked Steve.
"Architects use math when they design buildings and engineers use it when they design bridges and roads, "replied Theo. "Pilots use it when they're flying planes. Fashion designers use it to work out how much fabric(布料)they need. Animators(动画师) use it when they make movies. I could go on…"
"Okay, okay", said Steve." l get it. People in lots of jobs need math." Then the waiter came to the table and brought the bill for the milkshakes.
We each had a milkshake. So let 's split the bill in half, said Steve," How much do l need to pay ?"
"You work it out. "said Theo with a smile." Didn't I tell you that you'll use math every day?"
Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future?
3-Dfood will be both delicious and nutritious(有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. ① And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.
② 5 G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽)and we can get unlimited(无限的)information.
Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths(深度)of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.
③ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure. And even we will get used to living there.
A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends.
④ In a word, just as Jules Verne said," Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real. "
Still remember the following poems? Memories return every time I read or hear them.
|
① Hush now, my little one. Hush now, my sunshine. Hush now, piece of my heart. Go to sleep, my little one. Go to sleep, my love. Go to sleep, piece of my heart. Sleep, my little one, While I sing to you. Sleep, my little one, Who is already asleep. |
② My mama feeds me, And washes my fur. The first thing l see every morning is her. The last thing I kiss every night is her face. My mama is the very best one, And sings like a bird, And knows how I feel. When I don't say a word, My mama is warm. |
③ I can set the table. I can sweep the floor. I can wash my clothes And count to forty-four. I can wash dishes. And clean my bedroom. There is so much I can do. Now ask you. |
