Spending time with your family is very important. Enjoying dinner together is a perfect way to share your daily life with your family members. You will feel happy if you get along well with your parents, brothers or sisters. However, many families tend to spend more time watching TV instead of having dinner with their loved ones these days.
According to a new study, TV is destroying the quality of family time in Britain. Researchers found millions of British families now spend more time relaxing in front of the television in the living room. They seldom sit at the dining room table talking about their daily life. "Watching TV has become a popular way to spend time in the UK over the past 5 years," they said.
The study found most families spend only five hours in having dinner with their family members in a week. However, the time they spend in watching TV is double.
Nowadays, people like relaxing in front of the television. However, spending too much time in watching television programs has negative effects. Many people actually treat TV characters as a part of their daily lives. Some people even start acting like the characters on television.
Well, of course there are many useful and interesting TV programs we can enjoy with our family members. But why not turn off the television sometimes and talk about your day at school while enjoying dinner with your family members Ask your parents about their days, too. You will be able to understand each other better simply by enjoying dinner together!

At the Kids Motor Show, you will be able to know all the things about cars. It was held in COEX in Seoul on January l and lasted for two months. On January 17, 3 kid reporters went to the motor show to learn all the things about cars!
The entrance to the exhibition hall had a funny look. It looked like a yellow bus! There were guides in each section of the show and they helped us understand more about cars! So, what did the kid reporters learn there
Jeong Seung-hwan I visited the Kids Motor Show early this morning with two kid reporters. There were lots of people there. We learned many things there. First, we learned about tires (轮胎) from experts. They explained the history of tires. We saw a tire that was made of 100% wood a long time ago. Then, wooden tires with steel wheels were invented. The tire that we use today was invented later. I hope better tires will come soon! I think maybe someday there will be a car that doesn't have tires.
Shin Dam-hee I went to the Kids Motor Show in COEX on January 17 with my little sister and other kid reporters. We learned about the history and development of cars. The way to start up a car in the past was different from now. These days, we use a car key. However, a long time ago, people used the fly wheel to start up a car.
Daniel Koo I went to the Kids Motor Show. It was very exciting because I had an interest in inventing before! The first thing we saw was Leonardo da Vinci's car design. Then, we learned about the history of engines. I also saw a kind of engine experiment. I got a little frightened because it showed an engine explosion (爆炸).

A long time ago, we didn't know much about the world as we do now. Forests and swamps (沼泽) covered most places. There weren't many maps, so people did not travel far from home. Travelers had no cameras to record what they saw. They had to use words or draw pictures to tell their friends what they had seen during the trip.
Many travelers told stories about animals. However, some travelers made mistakes about what they had seen. For example, people used to think an animal called the unicorn (独角兽) was real. Travelers described the unicorn as a white horse with a long horn on its head. They said the unicorn was dangerous and hard to find, and it ran very fast. People also believed the unicorn's horn could heal sick people. Shopkeepers made powder that they said came from unicorn horns. They sold the powder for a lot of money.
Today, we know that the horns couldn't come from unicorns. The unicorn is not a real animal, but we still tell stories about the unicorn today. You may have read one of these stories. Because of these stories, this imaginary animal still exists in our thoughts.

Kirsten and Ann wanted to organise an anti-bullying club, so they went to Ms Sweet for help.
Ms Sweet said, "I think organising an anti-bullying club may be a good idea. A club like that can reduce bullies in our school. Let's go to the school office and fill in the paperwork."
On the way to the office, Ms Sweet said, "I have some ideas about why kids are bullies."
"Why " asked Kirsten.
"Some kids who are bullies just want to attract people's attention. They think that acting like bullies can make them popular. Bullying can make them feel powerful, but it's really not the right way," explained Ms Sweet.
"That makes sense," said Kirsten.
"Some kids come from homes where their parents are often angry. These parents may even bully their own children. Sometimes, that makes them act like bullies at school," said Ms Sweet.
"I guess I would also be sad if my parents acted like that," said Kirsten thoughtfully.
They went to the school office and filled in the paperwork. After that, Ann said, "We need to think of a name for the club. Maybe we can call it the Cookies Club."

Lots of people love dolphins. Dolphins are friendly and they have a good sense of humor. We know a lot about dolphins because they're not afraid of people. In some ways, they are like people.
Just like people, dolphins are mammals (哺乳动物). This means that they breathe like us, not like fish in the water. They can be 12 feet long and up to 1,500 pounds. They're also fast swimmers. Some can swim 70 miles per hour! Sometimes they will jump out of the water to move faster.
They travel in groups or “families” that are much like human families. Each member of the group has his duty to make sure the group is happy and safe. Dolphins move from one place to another because they cannot find enough fish in just one place.

Modem inventions make our life easier, but many of these inventions will use up natural recourses. Cars burn oil to get us where we want to go. This pollutes the air. Electric heat and light make our homes warm, but they also burn up coal and oil. We need factories, but factory waste pollutes our waterways.
Experts believe that changing the way we live in the future may actually improve our planet's health. We can use cleaner energy and fewer chemicals as we build the towns tomorrow. Here are some ideas that will make our planet a cleaner place to live.
Work and Transportation More and more people will work at home using computers. Today more electric trains are being built and electric cars are being developed. In the future most cars will probably use this technology (技术).
Food We'll grow fruits, grains, and vegetables close to our homes, either in our gardens or on nearby farms. The farms won't use chemicals to control pests. Instead, different kinds of insects will stop harmful bugs. That will help keep chemicals out of our food.
Shopping Online stores will be popular, but we'll still have malls. They will be small, with places to put bikes instead of cars. They will use natural sunlight to cut down on energy use. They will also recycle the objects you buy there when you finish using them.
Waste Waste water can be put into a big place, and special plants and fish will clean it. Then clean water will be sent back into rivers.
( ) 1. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A. How some inventions help us.
B. How some inventions pollute our environment.
