Screen-Free Days
I remember t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones ”【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
They laughed, and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) one of them said, “No way, Mr. White. They would be too much.” I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset. 21*cnjy*com
According to a su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rvey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents’ drop-off, they can’t use their own “screens” at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It’s clear that ou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That’s why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without “screens”. For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is “out of date”. Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for example, card games and room escape(密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these activities, students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on “likes” they’ve got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones.
After our fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rst screen-free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s already part of our world, it shouldn’t play such an important role in a learner’s life.

Apple’s first watch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can not only tell you the right time, the smart watch also has a set of technology that can collect a lot of health data (数据). When you have been sitting too long, it will “hit” you on the wrist (手腕) 10 minutes before the top of the hour.
“A lot of doc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tors believe that sitting is new illness.” Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said.
Many workers used the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Apple Watch first. Then, Apple started selling the Apple Watch in April 2015. “We have a lot of meeting and a lot of workers,” Cook said, “and ten minutes before the hour, the watch will hit you and everybody will start standing up.”
“It took some ti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me to get used to, but it’s actually really excellent.” He said.
Users have the chance ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to share their health data with doctors. And people believe it makes them healthier.

Li Ming, a universi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ty professor(教授) ,is busy doing some research. So he is often on business. When he is at the airport or on the train, he especially loves reading e-books. He also likes reading paper books in the library for his research work. Besides, he enjoys the smell of the paper books.21·世纪*教育网
What's more, Li Ming ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )would like to read with his family. There is a reading time from 8 : 00 t0 9 : 00 each Friday evening at home. Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books. One Friday evening, Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson, "Lei Lei, this is the first book your grandpa gave me. There is his name on the front page. Whenever I read it, I can get something new from his notes. And I can still remember the happy life we lived together. " Li Lei said, "But I 'enjoy reading e-books. E-books need no paper. Many forests will be saved." Grandma advised, "Don't read for a long time, or your eyes will get sore. "
Different people ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve different ideas about e-books and paper books. No one knows whether e-books can replace(代替)paper books or not. Somehow, books are our friends. No matter which kind of books you choose to read, you can learn more about the world through them

Volunteering means ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) spending some of your free time helping others. You may volunteer to help other people, but you can also volunteer to do something good for animals, the environment, or any other thing that you care about. Volunteering helps others, but it can also help yourself. If you are worried about something that has happened, doing something can be a great way to deal with you feelings. Volunteering can let you see your own life in new ways. For example, if you don't have the most expensive shoes or the newest computer game, you may find it difficult to stop yourself from worrying about things like grades or getting angry. Volunteering lets you spend some time on others. 【出处：21教育名师】
Doing volunt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eer work is a great way to have fun with your family. Here are some ideas on how you can do the work together:
● Clean up a park or a road along a river.
● Do some housework for the old persons or the sick.
● Serve food at a shelter for the homeless.
● Plant trees or flowers in your community.
● Clean up a school or other public buildings.
Now some scho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ols ask kids to spend some time helping others because volunteering gives them a sense of duty(责任). Why can we say that volunteering gives kids a sense of duty The reason is that volunteering can make kids feel needed by some people. Volunteering can also help kids learn important things about themselves. A volunteer job can even help some kids understand what to do when they grow up. So what are you waiting for

2．What does volunteering mean

In China, wr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iting brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones are called the Four Treasures of Study. Among the high quality (质量)treasures, the writing brush produced in Huzhou, the ink stick produced in Huizhou, the xuan paper made in Xuancheng and the ink stone made in Duanxi are the best-known.21世纪教育网版权所有
The writing brushes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can be used to draw the pictures on painted potteries (陶器). They are mainly made of the hair of animals. Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel's (融) tail hair are called langhao. Their artistic effect (效果) in writing and painting cannot be copied by any other pens.www-2-1-cnjy-com
The ink stick is the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )igment (颜料) used in writing and painting. The ink stick produced in Huizhou is of high quality. A story goes like this: Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produces a kind of high-quality ink stick. As a result, the Emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty agreed to give them the family name “Li”. From then on the name of the Li Ink Stick was widespread. In the Song Dynasty, its producing area was changed into Huizhou. and it was then called the Hui Ink Stick.
Paper is among th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e four great inventions in ancient China. The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Xuanzhou, Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced, it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing ink stone paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later he happened to see the ebony (檀木)in the rivers. It was wet with the water and turned white. Then he used the bark(树皮)to produce the world-famous paper.
The ink stone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was already very popular in the Han Dynasty.

I looked into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the mirror and checked if I was dressed up properly. YES! My hair was clean and my tie was straight.

As a manager in a big telecommunications(电信) company, my father was very busy with his work all year around. In fact, I didn't have much time with him. Every time when I complained about it, my father always said, "Everyone has his duty, and I have mine. "
Later, I ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d a chance to visit father's company. He pointed to a big iron tower and said, "Son, that is a base station. Do you know that about 25 percent of the calls in our country are through the network we built " "Wow! " "But it's hard work. You know, China started late in many ways. We have to work hard and sometimes even give up time with family. "
Now, more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and more people are amazed at the Chinese miracle(奇迹). If any foreign friend asks me what makes the Chinese miracle, I want to tell that behind the miracle there is always a story like my father's.21cnjy.com

A different kind of alarm clock
When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.21·cn·jy·com
“To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. So before he started to design the new clock; he asked different people what they’d like to wake up to in the morning, and lots of them said, “The smell of bacon（培根）.”
So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs（灯泡） instead of fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”.
“What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.”
“So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”
When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor！”
Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other thing, but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.
1．What was Matty Sallin？
2．How many people worked together on the new alarm clock？
3．How long did it take to cook the bacon？
4．Why are light bulbs used for cooking bacon instead of fire？
5．What do you think of the new alarm clock？

Screen-Free Days
I remember the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones ”

A different kind of alarm clock
When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.21*cnjy*com
“To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. So before he started to design the new clock; he asked different people what they’d like to wake up to in the morning, and lots of them said, “The smell of bacon（培根）.”
So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs（灯泡） instead of fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”.
“What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.”
“So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”
When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor！”
Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other thing, but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.
1．What was Matty Sallin？
2．How many people worked together on the new alarm clock？
3．How long did it take to cook the bacon？
4．Why are light bulbs used for cooking bacon instead of fire？
5．What do you think of the new alarm clock？

1．根据When Matty Sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University24岁的Matty Sallin在纽约大学学习艺术与技术，故答案为A college/ university student.
2．根据So Sallin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock萨林和他的两个同学发明了一种新型闹钟，所以是三个人。故答案为Three.
3．根据If you set th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs如果你把闹钟调到8点，它会在7点50分打开，然后在灯泡下慢烤10分钟，故答案为10 minutes.
4．根据There’s no danger ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of burning没有着火的危险，故答案为Because there is no danger of burning
5．这题是个开放题，言之有理 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )即可。故答案为It is a great invention. /I like the new clock because I am fond of eating bacon. /I don’t think the smell can wake me up because I am a heavy sleeper. （Any reasonable answer is acceptable.）
