Zhang Ming, a college graduate from Shandong, created a 9-page＂WeChat guide＂(微信指南) to parents. With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. ＂My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology,＂Zhang said.
Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. In the world, 40% of parents learn about new technology, including computers, mobile, Internet and social media(社交媒体), from their children, according to a survey from the International Communication Association. Parents teach their kids almost everything when they are young. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students and the students become the teachers.
The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, according to Zhou Xiaohong, a professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children more ways to get information. So, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do these days.
According to the China Internet Network Information Center, in China, 56. 7% of Internet users and 67.2% of social media users are under the age of 30. Young people usually act as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves.
In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. ＂People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out ＂said Zhang.
1．From the first paragraph we learn that＂We Chat guide＂_____________.
A．is created by Zhang Ming’s parents
B．has 19 pages
C．explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls
D．has only pictures in it
2．What does the underlined word＂they＂refer to
A．Parents. B．Kids. C．Teachers. D．Students.
3．According to the Passage, _____________ of social media users are under the age of 30.
A．40% B．56. 7% C．67. 2% D．80%
4．What does the underlined word＂link＂mean
A．权利 B．典范 C．素材 D．纽带
5．From the passage we can infer(推断)that _____________.
A．most parents learn about new technology all over the world
B．young people can be their parents’ teachers in the age of new technology
C．Zhang Ming created＂WeChat guide＂in order to become famous
D．old people needn’t learn new technology

As the saying goes, “A smile is the best medicine.” Nothing can heal(使康复) a sick heart better than a warm smile. When you smile, your brain lets out some special chemicals(化学物质). Together, they work to make you feel calm and relaxed. Smiling more often can even make your immune system(免疫系统) stronger.
　　World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October every year. This year, it falls on October 6. The holiday was set up by American artist Harvey Ball. Ball created his famous yellow smiley face symbol in 1963. People loved it. However, more and more businesses began to use it for different purposes, which brought the symbol new meanings. Ball became worried that the symbol was losing its foundational meaning. To remind people to spread the “real” smile, he came up with the idea for World Smile Day. After that, the day gets more and more popular around the world.
　　The theme of the day is, “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.” This can be as simple as smiling at everyone you meet. You can also cook a dish for your parents or give a small gift to your friend. It would be even better if you could do some volunteer work, such as cleaning up the environment and helping the elderly. Let's spread laughter and hope on this World Smile Day!
