Rubbish sorting (分类) probably doesn't sound like much fun. But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it-Meet Sortee.

Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects and their meanings.

The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label (标签) next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.

The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.

There are 400 0bjects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get It's a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center, but it has no bad smell.

You can download the free game from Apple's app store (苹果软件下载中心), but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.

If you were asked what your body is made of, probably you would say that it is made of flesh(肉体) and bones and covered with skin. You also know something about the blood which flows through it, and that there is a very important part which we call the brain.

But the flesh and the bones make up the largest part of the body, and there is a good deal to be learned about them. You know the general appearance of both flesh and bone from the parts of animals which you see in the butcher’s shop.

Bone is hard, and of a white color; indeed, it looks more like a piece of wood or stone than a part of a living animal. But bone is a real part of the living body, and it grows and is nourished (滋养)just as the body is. If a man breaks the bone of his arm or his leg, it is firmly bound up, to prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places, and in time then bone grows together again and becomes quite strong.

The bones are fastened together by various kinds of joints(关节). They form the framework of the body, and give it strength to retain its proper shape. This framework is called the skeleton(骨架). Some animals, such as worms and slugs, have no skeleton; and others, such as shellfish, have a kind of hard covering or skeleton outside.

The most important part of the skeleton is the backbone. It is so important that naturalists divide all animals into two classes,--- those which have a backbone and those which have none. All the higher animals, including man, have a backbone, or vertebral column as it is called. They are therefore called vertebrate （脊椎的）animals. The others are called invertebrate animals.

1.What’s our body made of?

A. Flesh

B. Flesh and bones.

C. Flesh, bones and flood.

D. Flesh, bones, flood and brain.

2.Where can we see flesh and bones from the parts of animals?

A. In the bookshop. B In the butchers’ shop.

C. At home. D. In the shopping mall

3.Why should the bones bound up firmly if they were broken?

A.To make the bones strong

B. To protect our arms and legs

C. To fasten the joints.

D. To prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places.

4. From the passage, we know higher animals are called .

A. backbone B. human beings

C. vertebrate animals D. skeleton

1. of science and technology, such as the underwater hotel, Google Glass, the Wool & Prince shirt and the digital library. An Underwater Hotel will be 2. in the sea. You can only get to it by swimming and diving. You needn’t use your 3. when you take photos or video with Google Glass. In the digital Library, you can read books on the 4. . Among them, most people like the Wool & Prince shirts best, which don’t need 5. after people wear them for a long time.

A young girl sits at her desk, reviewing her homework for the evening. English: Read three chapters and write a report. Math: Complete 30 problems. Science: Do a worksheet, front and back. French: Study new words for tomorrow’s test. It’s going to be a long night.

This happens to students in America. Now it’s time to start a homework revolution(变革).

According to the National Education Association, a student should be assigned (布置) no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. For example, a first grader should only have 10 minutes of homework, a second-grader, 20 minutes, and so on. This means that a student in my grade—seventh—should have no more than 70 minutes of work each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse!

It’s no good giving students too much homework. According to research, kids are developing more illness at school, such as stomachaches, headaches and sleep problems than before.

Some teachers assign more homework, but they are not the only ones to blame. “Many teachers are under greater pressure than ever before,” says Kylene Beers, President of the National Council for teachers of English, “Some of it comes from parents, some from the wish for high scores on tests.” Teachers who are under pressure feel the need to assign more homework.

Some people have different ideas, saying that homework prepares kids for doing better in high school, better in college, and getting better job in the future. But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity（削弱学生的个性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want?
