I just installed(安装) the ThingsToDo app on my phone. It’s so easy to use, and it is really useful when you’ve got lots of things to do and not much time! You just create a list and then add items(项目) to it. Once a week it sends you a list of everything you’ve done.

Have you heard about SkyWatch? It’s great. You just point your phone at the night sky and it tells you what the stars are. You can also type in(输入) the name of a planet and the program tells you where to look for it.

I’ve just installed Tunespotter. If you hear a song you like but you don’t know what it is, you can use this app. It tells you the name of the song and the singer. And if you like it, you can buy the song really easily. I’ve had it for a week and I’ve been using it a lot.

I’ve been using Crazy Faces a lot recently. It’s very silly, but it’s fun. You just take photos of your friends and then you can change their faces. You can make them look older or younger, fatter or thinner, and you can add beards(胡须) and glasses. I’ve seen lots of photos where people have put baby faces on adult bodies and they make me laugh every time!

If you love reading books,you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history,it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言).Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book,an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated

film(动画片).

The book tells the story of a pilot,called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film,the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl,whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book,speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.

China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.

Huang Lei,who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

"The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince,and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质)goes away as flies,"he says.

There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee (委员会), the students would be in fear, for he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.

“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”

“A full spoon,” answered the student.
