Now most children chat daily either online or through their mobile phones, They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.

Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments, Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive(冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.

Wandering around the airport terminal(航站楼), after learning my flight had been delayed four hours, I heard an announcement, “If anyone near Gale A-4 understands any Arabic, please come to the gate immediately.” I went there and saw an old woman in full traditional Palestinian dress crying on the floor. A young man from the airport staff asked me to talk to her to find out what was her problem. He said she started to cry when hearing the announcement about the flight.

I knelt down, put my arms around her and asked her what was wrong. My Arabic wasn’t good enough but I managed to get my meaning across. She soon stopped crying and told me she had thought the flight had been canceled. She needed to be in El Paso for an important medical treatment the next day. I said, “You’ll be fine. You’ll get there but only a few hours late. Who is going to pick you up? Let’s call him.” We called her son. I spoke to him in English. I told him I would stay with his mother till we boarded the plane. Later, I called my dad whose Arabic was better and asked him to talk to her. She looked much more relaxed while talking on the phone.

Later she took out a sack of homemade cookies stuffed with dates and nuts and offered them to all the women at the gate: the traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo. Everybody smiled and accepted her cookies to eat. And my new best friend and I were holding hands, while the others around us were talking with each other with different accents. I almost wanted to hug all those other women too. I looked around that gate and thought to myself, “This is surely the world want to live in.”

In a land often shaken by earthquake, how have Japan's wooden pagodas(佛塔)remained standing for centuries? Japanese scholars have been confident for ages about their resilience(抗震性).

For centuries, many believed the resilience of pagodas is caused by its big central columns known as shinbashira actually does not carry any weight at all but is hanging down loosely from the top of the pagoda through the middle of the building. The weight of the building is supported entirely by twelve outer and four inner columns.

And what is the role of the shinbashira, the central column? Mr. Ishida, known as ‘Professor Pagoda’ has built a series of models and tested them on a ‘shake-table’ in his laboratory. In short, the shinbashira was acting like a big pendulum(钟摆). Under pressure, a pagoda’s loose floors could be made to move back and forth independently. Viewed from the side, the pagoda seemed to be doing a snake dance—with each floor moving in the opposite direction to its neighbors above and below. The shinbashira, running up through a hole in the centre of the building, made it unlikely that individual floors moved too far because, after moving a certain distance, they banged into it, transmitting energy away along the column.

Another strange feature of the Japanese pagoda is its shape, with each floor being smaller than the one below. In other words, a five-storey pagoda contains not column that travels right up through the building. More surprising is the fact that the individual storeys of a Japanese pagoda are not actually connected to each other. They are simply put on top of another like a small hill of hats.

The extra-wide eaves(屋檐)also play a part. Think of them as a balancing pole of tightrope-walkers. The bigger the mass at each end of the pole, the easier it is for tightrope walker to maintain his or her balance. The same holds true for a pagoda.

1.Shuzo Ishida performs experiments in order to ________.

A. put the pendulum into practice

B. gain insight into the “shake-table” model

C. learn about the function of the shinbashira

D. locate shinbashira’s excat position in a pagoda

D. Pagodas’s amazing resilience has long puzzled scholars.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. How Shinbashira Plays Its Role

B. Why Pagodas Do Not Fall Down

C. Distinct Features of Japanese Architecture

The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated(曝光)-and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness(眩晕), unless he or she is not bothered by heights.

Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1.2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden.

The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge£15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.

Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.

The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London.

Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market.
