(A)
Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone
If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones. They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates (更新).
A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don’t want to spend much time on their phones. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system. This new app includes functions (功能) that help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day.
Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.
If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that. After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.

Researchers have studied left-handedness for at least 150 years. However, what makes a person become left-handed remains unknown, although there are many theories about it.
A recent UK study of unborn babies found that handedness might develop before their births.
About nine out of ten unborn babies preferred to put their right hand into their mouths. Another finding is that mothers who are over 40 at the time of a child’s birth are 128% more likely to have a left-handed baby than a woman in her twenties.
Since about 90% people are right-handed, left-handed people do go through some difficulties.
As our writing runs from left to right, it is hard for a left-handed person to write without smudging (模糊) the ink. What’s more, most tools such as scissors and kitchen knives are designed for use with the right hand. It can be dangerous if they are operated with the left hand.
In the past, left-handed children were forced to use their right hand.
Luckily, now fewer people have a bias against left-handers. Left-handed children are no longer looked down upon in school. Some shops sell products for left-handers, such as left-handed guitars and even a left-handed computer mouse. Since 1976, there has been an unusual day for left-handers. International Left-Handers Day is celebrated on August 13th every year.
It draws people’s attention to the challenges left-handers face in a world full of right-handers. More and more people have realized left-handedness is nothing strange. Some of the most famous left handed people include Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Barack Obama and Bill Gates.
36. A baby may develop left-handedness when ____________.
A. nine out of ten babies do so
B. his mum is in her twenties at his birth
C. his mum gives birth to him at an older age
D. he puts his right hand into his mouth often
37. One problem for left-handed people is that ____________.
A. their handwriting is awful
B. people think they are dangerous
C. kitchen knives are too big for their left hands
D. many things are made only for right-handers
38. The underlined word “bias” means ____________ in Chinese in this passage.
A.态度 B.偏见 C.恐惧 D.偏好
39. From the passage, we know that left-handed children ____________ in the past.
A. lived a comfortable life B. were not considered normal
C. were very popular at school D. could use products for left-handers
40. The best title of this passage is ____________.
A. International Left-Handers Day B. Challenges for Left-handers
C. Left-handedness, Nothing Strange D. Reasons for Left-handedness

I'm so lucky to win the prize. I enjoy drawing and I have some computer skills, so I decided on making a cartoon named “Dog King”.
Firstly, I used a computer to draw a few pictures of a lovely dog. The pictures are a little different from each other. I made the dog wear glasses and a red hat so that it looked lovely and funny. Second, I added some colours to the pictures and used a computer program to put the pictures together as a film. Thirdly, I did the dog's voice according to the pictures. The cartoon looked vivid.
Thank goodness! I really made it. I am so proud of myself !
