【题目】The face-down generation(一代)

If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, world-wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?

Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.

Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.

So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.

【题目】 On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War (抗击新型肺炎战) , the Ministry of Education issued (教育部公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. 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 (影响) 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 mentalhealth.

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 "nosuspensionof classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

【题目】 What should you do if there's an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede(踩踏) ? March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students (NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日) . The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.

A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries (伤害) .

A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.

Earthquakes are common natural disasters (灾难) . When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don't stay near buildings, trees or power lines.

When there's a fire, follow the teacher's instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.

【题目】 When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch (接球) with me. I wasn't very good at it, butwe would play anyway. He was always telling me "Keep your eye on the ball" as I would not be able to catch even the easiestof throws.

As I got older, we didn't play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his advice, he would try to joke with me and say "Keep your eye on the ball". We would both laugh becauseusually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me smile.

My father became illin 1995 when I was 23. There weren't any more conversations, as he suffered from a stroke (中风). He could not speak. He could only give mouthwords, which were sometimes hard to understand. After a while, I seemed to be pretty good at reading at his lips (), even better than the nurseswho were caring for him there.

During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend. Once again, I could read his lips "Keep your eye on the ball." We both smiled.

That was the last time I saw my father beforehe passed away.

All these years later, when I get in trouble, I just tell myself "Keep your eye on the ball".
