从简陋竹笔到艺术之魂：蒙恬与毛笔的革命·The brush pen is one of the“Four Treasures（珍宝） of the Study”. However， the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk（丝织物） .

One day after hunting（狩猎）， Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy， one rabbit’s tail left a long trail on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it. “If I tie（捆） the rabbit’s hair to a stick， would it be easy to write with？”
On arriving home， he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing ② it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth（光滑的） to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so upset， but he never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later， he happened to find that the special water helped clean the oil from the hair. As the result， the brush worked beautifully on silk. Meng made it at last.

The greatest advantage is that we can connect with people much more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. We are able to find friends old and new. Also， it makes it easier for us to make friends， especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face.
Social media is also ideal for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Everyone is the new content creator. Moreover， anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a result， it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.
Social media， on the other hand， can make us less confident sometimes. A 2021 study published by the Public Library of Science， found that the more a person uses social media， the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for this is that people around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off their best moment. So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are compared to our own.
Social media does not cause sadness. It simply provides another tool for us to use. Is it good or bad？ Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says， “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media… We must try to use social media in a good way.” After all， you decide how you use this powerful tool.

智慧城市：技术创新融合，开启便捷生活新时代·Today， cities are getting bigger and busier. This gives us challenges. We need better transport to get around and clean energy to power our homes. How can we live more conveniently？ Smart cities may help. They can “think” and make decisions to make everything work in a smart way！ For example， the trash bins “tell” the garbage trucks when they are full. The buildings can “talk” to computers to help save energy. And what makes all these things come true are different technologies.
Internet of Things
Imagine that when you are close to your home， your smartwatch tells your home to turn on the lights. The Internet of Things can help to do this. It connects everything to the Internet. It’s like having lots of little smart helpers. They “send messages” to things in the city and let them work together.
Online Maps
We know online maps like the Baidu Map and Gaode Map. They show us the way from one place to another. So， we can avoid busy roads and plan the best way for school buses.
Big Data
Big data works like the brain of the city. It helps the city make decisions. For example， data about cars running in the city tells us about traffic jams. Data about the humidity（湿度） tells us whether it is going to rain.
AI
AI helps to deal with the data. More importantly， it learns from the data and becomes smarter. AI can work as a delivery man， a tour guide， or even help to design cars and make people work in a safe way.
Sensor（传感器）
Can a city “see” things？ With sensors， the answer is yes. Sensors are like a city’s eyes. They are in every corner of the city. They collect data on people and the environment.

网络成瘾：虚拟世界背后的现实隐忧·（2024凉山期末） The Internet is more and more important in our life. On the Internet， we can read news， have a vacation plan， pay bills（账单）， make friends， play games and so on. But for some people， once they are onto the Internet， they just can’t stop.
It is reported that 51％ of men and 42％ of women think Internet is one reason why they can’t have enough sleep！ Because they have the online experience， 68％ of Internet addicts（上瘾的人） say they have less time to stay with their family or visit their friends face to face than before.
Some students also have Internet addiction（瘾）. These students stay away from school and home， just play games in the Internet cafes. They watch the screens straight， and their fingers hit（敲击） the buttons（键盘） quickly. Sometimes， they shout loudly and jump from their seats when they win or lose in the games. These “gamers” play games most of the day， then think about them for the rest of the day and dream about them in bed at night. They soon become lonely and don’t want to talk with others. What they think most is the results of the games. They like playing computer games better than puters are now their best friends. That makes their parents worried.
If we can use computers in a right way， our life will be better and better.

从简陋竹笔到艺术之魂：蒙恬与毛笔的革命·The brush pen is one of the“Four Treasures（珍宝） of the Study”. However， the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk（丝织物） .
Meng Tian， a general（将军） of the Kingdom（王国） Qin， improved the pen. When Meng was fighting against the Kingdom of Chu with his army， he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and brought him much trouble， so he was thinking of ① to improve it.
One day after hunting（狩猎）， Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy， one rabbit’s tail left a long trail on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it. “If I tie（捆） the rabbit’s hair to a stick， would it be easy to write with？”
On arriving home， he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing ② it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth（光滑的） to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so upset， but he never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later， he happened to find that the special water helped clean the oil from the hair. As the result， the brush worked beautifully on silk. Meng made it at last.
Thanks to him， the brush pen plays an important role in Chinese culture. Today， many schools teach students to use the brush pens.

网络安全警示录：真实案例教你如何防范风险·（2024天津中考） The Internet is often used to buy and sell products， pay bills， and communicate with people. But how safe is it when you use the Internet？ Our magazine Interactions asked some Internet users about their experiences.
Linda， 29， nurse： I pay all my bills online. One day， I received an email from my bank. It told me that someone was trying to take out money from my account（账号）， so I should email my password（密码） to the “bank manager”. I felt something was wrong， so I called my bank and asked about the email. The bank said they never sent it. I realized that someone tried to cheat（欺骗） me of my money. I’ll continue paying my bills this way， but I’ll be more careful.
Emily， 22， office worker： I was at work， and I sent an email to a friend of mine. I was telling her about my problems with Mark， the manager. A few minutes later， a friend of Mark’s came over to my desk. He said， “So you think Mark is too strict？” My face was red. I chose the wrong name on my address list. It was my own fault， so I’ll look over my emails more carefully before I click “Send” next time.

掌握社交媒体的力量：连接世界，表达自我·Most of us cannot imagine modern life without social media（社交媒体）. We use it almost every day in order to keep up with what is happening in our friends’ lives， or find out the latest information. Although it has a bad influence if we don’t use it properly， social media has done more good than harm.
The greatest advantage is that we can connect with people much more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. We are able to find friends old and new. Also， it makes it easier for us to make friends， especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face.
Social media is also ideal for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Everyone is the new content creator. Moreover， anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a result， it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.
Social media， on the other hand， can make us less confident sometimes. A 2021 study published by the Public Library of Science， found that the more a person uses social media， the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for this is that people around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off their best moment. So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are compared to our own.
Social media does not cause sadness. It simply provides another tool for us to use. Is it good or bad？ Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says， “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media… We must try to use social media in a good way.” After all， you decide how you use this powerful tool.

智慧城市：技术创新融合，开启便捷生活新时代·Today， cities are getting bigger and busier. This gives us challenges. We need better transport to get around and clean energy to power our homes. How can we live more conveniently？ Smart cities may help. They can “think” and make decisions to make everything work in a smart way！ For example， the trash bins “tell” the garbage trucks when they are full. The buildings can “talk” to computers to help save energy. And what makes all these things come true are different technologies.
Internet of Things
Imagine that when you are close to your home， your smartwatch tells your home to turn on the lights. The Internet of Things can help to do this. It connects everything to the Internet. It’s like having lots of little smart helpers. They “send messages” to things in the city and let them work together.
Online Maps
We know online maps like the Baidu Map and Gaode Map. They show us the way from one place to another. So， we can avoid busy roads and plan the best way for school buses.
Big Data
Big data works like the brain of the city. It helps the city make decisions. For example， data about cars running in the city tells us about traffic jams. Data about the humidity（湿度） tells us whether it is going to rain.
AI
AI helps to deal with the data. More importantly， it learns from the data and becomes smarter. AI can work as a delivery man， a tour guide， or even help to design cars and make people work in a safe way.
Sensor（传感器）
Can a city “see” things？ With sensors， the answer is yes. Sensors are like a city’s eyes. They are in every corner of the city. They collect data on people and the environment.

new law will start in Australia in 2025.
Children under 16 cannot use social media like Instagram or TikTok. These platforms（平台） must stop young people from signing up. If they don’t， they will pay big fines（罚款） of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars. The government says social media hurts children’s mental health， and there are examples of bullying（ ▲ ） and self-harm（自我伤害）. 77％ of Australians think the ban is a good idea. But some groups， like children’s rights supporters（ ▲ ）， say the law could be harmful. They believe children may find other dangerous places online.
Tech companies like Google and Meta think the ban is too fast and needs better rules. This law could also make other countries think about doing the same.
