Travelling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book. The popular film won Best Picture at the 9lst Academy Awards on February 24.
The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley's skin colour. These problems lead them to form a special friendship.
"There's something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time, " wrote the US film critic Mick LaSalle. The time LaSalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in the American history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow Laws（《吉姆·克劳法》）, which allowed racial segregation(种族隔离). These laws made life and travel dangerous for African-Americans. They couldn't use certain hotels, restaurants or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset, or they might be put into prison. Even black celebrities(名人) had to follow the laws.
But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then in 1964, Jim Crow Laws went away. The book went away too.
Today many Americans still remember the time of Jim Crow Laws. But they probably don't know about The Green Book. It's a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.
( )7. How was the life and travel for African-Americans in the 1900s?
A. Easy. B. Dangerous. C. Pleasant. D. Safe.
( )8. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. The Green Book is still in use now.
B. The list was sold in New York City.
C. A black businessman made the list.
D. Victor H. Green came up with the idea.
( )9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Jim Crow Laws disappeared in 1936.
B Black celebrities didn't need to follow Jim Crow Laws.
C. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely.
D. They met problems during their trip because of Shirley's bad behaviour.

Sleep plays an important role in brain development. Children should ger enough sleep._ 1 A study says that because of being short of sleep, it is much harder for children to do something carefully. And they also become forgetful and easy to make mistakes. Another study shows that the right amount of night-time sleep is just as important for children's development as healthy eating and taking exercise.
2 In general, a younger child needs more sleep than an older one. Children a the age of 5 --11will need 10 -- 12 hours of sleep a night while children at the age of more than 11 will need fewer hours.
In fact, many parents don't know how to help their children get enough sleep. Here is something you can do. For children at the age of 5 – 11, a 30-- 40 minutes' routine(常规) before sleep is helpful.
3 In the activities, children relax and enjoy themselves a lot, and they will go to sleep more easily.
Children at the age of more than 11 may go to bed late in the evening, talking with friends online, playing games or watching TV. 4 And even they will be tired during the day. So limit(限制) your children's use of the Internet, games and the TV before they go to bed, 5 .
If not, many problems will come to them.
Why does a child need so much sleep?
How many hours of sleep is enough for a child?
So they will find it difficult to get up the next morning.

And don't allow them to have a computer or a TV set in their bedroom.

Many teachers are supporters of using PDAs in language learning. There are several advantages. They say students can have more time for discussion in the classroom because they can get ready for their lessons with the help of PDAs. For example, they can listen to articles at home. They also say that PDAs can help students learn without teachers' help. Some students might need to listen to an article many times to understand it. They can use PDAs to listen to it again and again.
The students are also happy to use PDAs. They think using PDAs is an enjoyable way to learn. It will make the classes much more interesting. And they can learn more in class. Teaching notes are stored in their PDAs and easy to find.

In a word. education needs to make changes with times as technology is playing an important part. Let's look forward to a wonderful future when PDAs and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
What can students use PDAs to do?

Why do many parents complain that PDAs are doing harm to students?
