My favourite movie
The movie I adore most is The Million Pound Bank Note, which is based upon a story by Mark Twain.
In the movie, Henry Adams, the main character, landed in England by accident with no money or friends. By chance, he was made the subject of a bet by two wealthy brothers on whether someone could live in London for a month with a million pound bank note. With the large bank note, Henry found that people’s attitudes towards him change greatly. The film, with excellent acting, beautiful music and interesting plots, is a real success.
I like the play because of some exciting twists and turns. I also learn that success is not measured by how much money you have. It is totally worth seeing.
Ⅸ. 【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Rebecca因为要照顾孩子而犹豫不决是否接受工作机会,她的丈夫David决定辞职一年来照顾孩子。他通过社交媒体分享照片和视频,成了“超级爸爸”。一天,他们遇到了车祸,但因为正确使用了汽车座椅,孩子Tony没有受伤,但是David却受了伤。他通过社交媒体教育他人正确使用汽车座椅的重要性。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“David告诉Rebecca,在离他们家不到三英里的地方,一个女人把车开进了车流并向左转。”可知,第一段可描写David撞车以及儿子Tony没有受伤而自己却受伤的情况。
②由第二段首句内容“Rebecca非常感激她的丈夫多花了一分钟把Tony安全地放在他的汽车座椅上。”可知,第二段可描写David把自己的汽车的撞车照片上传到网上,以提醒人们正确使用汽车座椅。
2. 续写线索:David和儿子Tony出车祸—David受伤但儿子Tony没有受伤—David上传撞车照片—David在社交媒体上呼吁正确使用汽车座椅—网友为“超级爸爸”David点赞
One possible version:
Less than three miles from their house, David told Rebecca, a woman had pulled into traffic to turn left. David hadn’t had enough time to stop. He tried to stop the car at nearly 50 miles an hour before knocking into the front passenger side door of her SUV. The proper use of the car seat saved baby Tony’s life. Even with the impact of the two cars, Tony was safe and sound. He was even able to continue with his sleep and then spend the next two hours playing with nurses in a nearby hospital. David wasn’t so lucky. He had his foot broken in three places and got three dislocated toes.
Rebecca was so thankful that her husband took the extra one minute to put Tony in his car seat safely. She couldn’t imagine how different the outcome could have been. David had never expected there could be any good having a nagging wife. He posted pictures of his car on social media to educate people about the importance of proper use of car seats. He hoped his car would be a reminder of the safety of babies in cars to other parents. David, the Super Dad, got more likes from his fans.Period Six Writing Workshop & Other parts

Is there a link between social media and depression Do Facebook and Instagram have a negative impact on your mental health It’s complicated.
Sometimes, looking through Instagram just makes you feel bad. You try not to envy your friends, but they always seem to be travelling somewhere cool, eating something fancy, or looking cute in perfect just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. On the other hand, there are times when you laugh at funny memes (表情包), catch up with old friends, and feel happy to belong to fun social media communities. Clearly, social media isn’t all bad.
People are increasingly suspecting that there’re potential problems of social media. Things like cyberbullying (网上欺凌), screen addiction, and being exposed to endless filtered images (美颜图片) that make it impossible not to make comparisons between yourself and others often make the news. In July, a big study came out in the journal JAMA titled “Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence”. This big headline seems to confirm what a lot of people have been saying—screen time is horrible for young people.
The study followed over 3,800 adolescents over four years as part of a drug and alcohol prevention programme. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens’ amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That was true both when the research compared between people and compared each person against their own mental health over time.
Case closed Not so fast. Before we end the debate once and for all, let’s take a closer look at this and other studies. Let’s ask ourselves: What exactly is the relationship between social media use and depression It turns out that there are several warnings.
( )1. Why do people sometimes feel bad when looking through Instagram
A. They lack contact with old friends.
B. They can travel nowhere.
C. They don’t look perfect.
D. They feel unbalanced.
( )2. Why is the article in the journal JAMA mentioned
A. To comment. B. To prove.
C. To suggest. D. To explore.
( )3. Which may agree with the findings of the study
A. Depression is related to social media use.
B. Teens’ amount of screen time is limited.
C. It is not easy to tell reasons for depression.
D. Social media contributes to physical health.
( )4. What’s the best title of the text
A. How to reduce depression
B. Does social media cause depression
C. Shall people reduce screen time
D. Why is it time to give up social media

Fake (假的) news is all around us and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. Here are some tips for avoiding misinformation.
1. In the 18th century, for example, fake news was spread about King George Ⅱ being ill in order to damage his public image. Today, fake news remains a problem. Over 80 percent of people in the UK regularly come across fake news online.
So what can you do to avoid being caught out by misinformation
The first step to responding to any potential fake news is easy: google it! When googling a claim, look for supporting evidence from credible news websites. If you see a wild claim in a headline, make sure you read the article before you start sharing it. You might find that the story is not what it appears. 2. So without reading the whole thing you may miss the whole picture.
3. If the article comes from a reputable news source, it’s likely that it was written by a professional journalist who practised due diligence when sourcing his/her information. If the article is not from an official news website, where is it from Check if it has been written by a credible expert on the topic, or if it has been written for a trusted organization.
After all your sleuthing (侦查), you come to the conclusion that you have found some fake news. 4. If it is a post or message from someone you know, you can reach out to them and let them know it’s not entirely accurate. It’s better to do this by politely messaging them privately rather than leaving a public comment if it’s a post on social media.
Studies suggest that fake news spreads faster than real news. 5.
A. Don’t share it.
B. Fake news is not new.
C. Delete it immediately.
D. Make sure to check who wrote the news piece.
E. Check when the news was originally published.
F. Often, the facts are buried deeper within the article.
G. It’s important to take a moment to process any information you come across online.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After staying at home and taking care of her baby for nearly two years, Rebecca found it hard to make a decision between accepting an attractive offer from her former employer and going on looking after her son Tony at home. She talked with her husband David about sending Tony to a childcare centre. David gave it a careful thought and decided to leave his job for a year to take care of Tony before he could be sent to a kindergarten, promising to be a super dad and househusband. It was good news for Rebecca but she knew her husband too well. It would take David some time to get used to finicky (细致的) jobs of taking care of Tony. So she told David she wanted hourly updates on how Tony was handling his day away from Mum.
David was adapting quickly. He texted updates throughout the day, getting hourly instructions from Rebecca. It seemed that David was enjoying his new role and Tony liked the company of Dad, although they often got the home messy. What Rebecca didn’t expect is that David became famous on social media as Super Dad, because people liked watching the videos he posted.
One day, he sent his usual text updates and included a photo of Tony in his car seat during their trip to Walgreens. Rebecca’s reply was to correct Tony’s position in the car seat. And she reminded David that the straps (带子) were too loose and the chest clip was too low. David laughed at his nagging (唠叨的) wife and rolled his eyes before tightening the car seat and fixing the chest clip. Fifteen minutes later, Rebecca’s phone rang with a call from her husband, “Honey, we had a car accident. We are fine, but the car is going to be totaled(彻底毁坏).”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Less than three miles from their house, David told Rebecca, a woman had pulled into traffic to turn left.
Paragraph 2:
Rebecca was so thankful that her husband took the extra one minute to put Tony in his car seat safely.

named Nemo is a naughty fish. Another character is Dory,
becoming a friend of Marlin's. With Nemo caught by humans one
day when he was out alone，his father Marlin, together with Dory,
