Sometimes students can't hand in their homework on time. There are 1 main problems they have with homework. The first problem is that they 2 what needs to be done, or when it has to be handed in. The second is that they need to spend a long time doing the homework. Here is some 3 to help you.
First, find a box or simply a bag. When the teacher tells you what your 4 is, you write it down in a note and then put your note in the box or the bag. You can also put in a note with the handing-in time. By doing so, you can see what should 5 and when it should be handed in every day.
Second, if you want to hand in your homework in time, you must do your homework more efficiently (高效地). It helps a lot if you are 6 organized and have time and space to finish it.
For example, if you need a 7 to finish your homework and you don't have your own, make sure you book some time on the family computer, or you can use one in your school library.
Third, find a place to set up a homework "office" anywhere at home 8 a desk, a comfortable chair and good light. It helps you to get into a habit of doing homework 9 on weekdays, and not to leave it until the last minute at weekends.
Last, reward (奖励) yourself. 10 you've done your homework, reward yourself with some fun activities, such as some television or game time. That can encourage you to do homework better next time.
New Capital of BBQ
Zibo city in Shandong has unexpectedly become famous on Chinese social media late February for its local barbecue specialty, and this trend continues as the local government takes the chance to promote (推广) tourism and spending. The city has opened 21 bus lines for visitors. To make more people come, it has made a rule: visitors between 18—35 can get a discount (折扣) in some hotels.
The final game of the Guizhou country basketball league (联赛), known as "Village BA", took place on March 27 and Team Qiandongnan won the Championship Cup. The players were all amateurs (业余选手) and mostly farmers from local villages and nearby cities. Since 2016, the local government has worked hard to build new standard basketball courts to support basketball development.
Program helps countryside Tourism
By using the "Culture and Tourism e-Village" program, which can be found on WeChat, visitors now can enjoy the sightseeing (观光) of villages and towns in Jiangsu on their phones. The program, developed by the local government, has been popularly received by visitors and farmers since it was released. The program will cooperate with more tourism villages in Jiangsu to develop the province's countryside tourism.
Recently, many people think it's risky to use credit (信用) card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack (攻击) is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called "phishing".
Phishing sounds the same as the word "fishing", and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait (诱饵) in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and website s to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may make as many as 5% of the people believe and give away their personal information.
It's really a big problem! Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only. 5% of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.
Amy, 18, from California, received an email. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The "thief" used Amy's Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money.
How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent (紧急的) requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is.
Knowing how to read, write and talk in one language is enough for many people. They prefer to focus their energy on other things that improve their lives. Scientists, however, continue to discover that bilingualism, the ability to speak two languages fluently, has more benefits than many realize.
First, it's good for a child's brain. Learning a second language improves their academic achievements. Many studies have shown that children who learn a foreign language get better grades at school. Bilingual children also show a better ability in their native language. Their grammar, vocabulary and spelling skills are stronger than those of single-language speakers. Children who learn a second language become expert problem-solvers and creative thinkers. That's because their brains are constantly working to sort out which language to speak and when. Studies further show that bilingual teens are better at multitasking.
Multilingual parents understand the benefits of learning more than one language. Ben Mazor of Montreal speaks English, French and Hebrew. He says, "Kids' brains are like a sponge. They absorb everything. It comes to them so easily while they're young. So why not give them the chance to learn another language?"
A number of studies show that ____. Scottish researchers did a study using data from 835 native English speakers, who took an IQ test at the age of 11. They were tested again in their 70s. Researchers then compared the tests. Those who spoke two or more languages had obviously better cognitive abilities (认知能力). Dr. Thomas Baka, co-author of the study, concluded, "Our results suggest a protective effect of bilingualism against age-related cognitive weakening."
So, who would refuse the benefits of learning a second language?
If you could travel in Europe, which country would you visit? France? Italy? You may have forgotten a hidden treasure. It is Hungary.
Hungary's location is very important. It is in the middle of Europe. It works as a good transition area and a necessary rest stop for visitors from both the eastern and western parts of Europe.
One can see the view in the pictures in Hungary's capital city, Budapest. People call Budapest the "Pearl of the Danube". It was once made up of two cities: Buda on the western side of the Danube and Pest on the eastern side. The two cities were combined in 1873. Buda has many places of interest and fairytale castles, while Pest is busy, with many cafes, restaurants and places for night life.
Hungary makes good use of its location and beautiful capital. That is probably why it became the first European country to join China for the Belt and Road Initiative. In the future, teamwork between the two countries will include the building of railways, power grids and the Internet. That will help increase China's connections to Europe greatly.
"We need to rebuild the Silk Road, connecting the world from the east to the west," said Zoltán Balog, Hungary's human resources minister.
Hungary is a landlocked country. It doesn't have sea coasts. But the country has many natural hot springs. In fact, Hungary has more hot springs than anywhere else in Europe.
Imagine having everything you need—hospitals, stores, parks—just a few steps from home. This is the idea behind the 15-minute city. Here, people can get the services they need in no more than 15 minutes from home.
This social model is being developed in cities around the world, from Paris Moscow. It could make people healthier and build (strong) relationships with neighbors.
Carlos Moreno is a strong supporter of the 15-minute city. He (encourage) by the need to fight against climate (气候) change several years ago. In a 15-minute city, cartravel is not the best (choose). People should build more foot roads and bike roads.
Walking biking across the city is of great use in cutting down CO2emissions (排放).
Anne Hidalgo plans (develop) 15-minute communities in France. That means number of parking space will be reduced to 60000 by 2024 and more bike roadswill be created on every street of the city.
This kind of design (设计) does more than good to the planet. Joe Zehnder is the planner of the city Moscow. He is developing (he) 15-minute neighborhoods. "Having stores close to homes (make) people able to eat healthier food and live a better life," Zehnder says.
