【题目】 On June 25, hundreds of people came together outside the Library of Congress in Washington D.C, and they were celebrating public libraries. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in keeping American educated. But how are these book- filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.

Benjamin Franklin founded America’s first lending library in Philadelphia in 1731. And the number of public libraries greatly increased in the late 1900s. Andrew Carnegie, a businessman, gave away millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie helped build 1,679 new libraries!

Carnegie believed that libraries could offer Americans many opportunities. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read books and news. There are more public libraries in America than McDonald’s restaurants now.

The United States is home to 9,225 public libraries. Today , the number of libraries continues to grow. Seven out of ten public libraries offer free Internet use. This can help many community members who can’t go online at home. It can also help them to have the opportunity to find jobs online.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, his statement is most certainly true!

We camped on an ice island and played football and raced our dogs to stay happy. We hoped the ice would take us to a safe place. On 9 April 1916, the ice island broke into two.

What would you do if a friend asked you to help cheat on an exam? Would you refuse them or decide to help? This kind of d【1】has been made easier by using the “four-way test”.

More than 230 eighth graders in a middle school in Colorado tried one such test on Nov 8. They came up with p【2】ways to difficult situations in school. For example, what would you do if a friend took your things w【3】asking you? Then they used the “four-way test” to decide which was the b【4】way.

The test asks four questions: Are you choosing an h【5】way? Is it f【6】to everyone involved（涉及的）? Will it build friendship? Will it be beneficial（有益处的）to everyone involved? If a person can say y【7】to all of these questions, it’s likely that he or she is making a good c【8】.

“It brings real-life experiences directly to the students,” Arnold Jahnke, principal of the school, told the Reporter Herald. “It causes the students to think about issues.”

Destiny Pritchard, 14, found the test to be u【9】. “If I help my friend cheat on exams, it’s not fair or beneficial to everyone involved. So that would be a bad decision,” he said. “S【10】there’s a lot of drama going on in school, the four-way test will help with that.”

Dakota Bowens, 14, plans to start using the four-way test. “It’s a new strategy（策略）,” Bowens said. “If I get in fights and conflicts（冲突）, I’m going to use it to keep strong.”

It’s never pleasant to stand in a crowded subway train. To make it worse, there’s often someone next to you eating 【1】. Eating and drinking is not rare(罕见的) among Chinese passengers. They may do this to save time, but the smell and n【2】 annoys others.

To change this, the Beijing g【3】 is thinking about banning people from eating and drinking on the subway. Those who b【4】 the rule could face a fine(罚款) of up to 500 yuan. Many people support the rule b【5】 they care for public manners in the city. Besides, eating and drinking on the subway is not h【6】 for both the eaters and the people around.

But o【7】 say that sometimes eating and drinking should be OK. “If a little child is eating on the subway, how can you fine him 500 yuan?” said Jin Bo, a news commentator. But he suggests that people start to pay attention to the issue. “Eating in public is not only about o【8】. It annoys others. We should keep this in mind from a young a【9】.”

Beijing is not the f【10】 city in China to fine eaters on the subways. People who eat on the subway in Hong Kong face fines of up to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars(1,625 yuan).

【题目】 Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate the codes, and in the end every one of us could create them easily,” said Mr. Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat (微信). Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Mr. Guo scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos. Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation(创造). I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
