Things You Can Do To Help The Environment.

The biggest use of home energy is for cooling and heating. So turn up your air conditioner and turn down the heat, especially at night.

Replace regular light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯), which use less energy.

Cars are getting bigger, even 5 meters long. They burn more gas and increase problems with acid rain and air pollution. So try to walk, bicycle, or use public transportation. This can save more gas and reduce pollution.

Each American throws away an average (平均)of 10 kilograms of trash every day. Reduce waste before you buy by thinking it carefully: Do I need it? Is it something I can only use once? Buy products that you can use over and over again.

Showers use a lot of water. In one week, a typical American family uses as much water as a person drinks in 3 years! Buy a special “low-flow” showerhead or take shorter showers. This can cut water use in half.

On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战),the Ministry of Education issued (公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.

However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.

In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台) where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.

It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染)of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

1.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because________.

A.children may be infected by virus B.they don’t like the idea of online learning

C.children’s study may be affected D.parents have no time to look after children

2.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer? ________

A.To keep playing online games B.To keep touching different people

C.To do some physical exercises outside D.To teach children about health knowledge

3.The underlined word "suspension "in Paragraph 4 probably means________.

A.plan B.stop

C.growth D.change

4.Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Students would rather go to school B.The date of going to school is decided

C.Online teaching will help student’s study D.Parents believe children can teach themselves

5.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.A Special Way to Learn at Home B.A New War with a New Chance

C.A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy D.A Method to Make Parents Worried

“Made in China” is having its moment now—and it's a fashionable one.

The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sneaker brands suddenly gained international attention. Their products were seen on models all over the world. Last year, Chinese sportswear brand (品牌) Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September with new designs-- coats and jackets decorated with Chinese characters.

Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group said that the latest Chinese brands are no longer promoting (推销) themselves on the basis of their cheapness He told CNN. “They are ambitious (雄心勃勃的) and can go head to head with foreign brands”

And this ambition may be due to the fact that China's young people are now more confident about their own culture. Western culture doesn't have the strong appeal to the young that it once had.

“Today's young people in China are excited about Chinese cultural elements,” Jin Qu, vice president of YOHO, an urban clothing shopping website in China, said at a cultural festival in November. “They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand image of laoganma—the famous chili sauce in China—which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols.”

In fact, many celebrities (名人) in the west now have an interest in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. US singer Rihanna, for example, wore a shiny and heavily embroidered yellow gown to the 2015 Met Gala to match the fashion theme “China: Through the Looking Glass”. The gown was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.

“We have to move from manufacturing to service and creativity. ” Chinese-American architect and designer Aric Chen once told The Financial Times. “We want to replace the wants ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’ ”
