    Mobile phones should be kept from classrooms, the UK minister for schools has said. Nick Gibb said he had concerns about the effect that the phone was having on children, and also said the Government should introduce lessons for pupils on how to limit their screen time.

    Mr Gibb said, "Schools obviously are free to set their own behaviour policies but my own view is that schools should ban (禁止)mobile telephones and smart phones inside school, and particularly inside classrooms. I believe very strongly that children should be limiting their own use at home. Every hour spent online and on a smart phone is an hour less talking to family, and it's an hour less exercise and it's an hour less sleep. And of course it is a lack of sleep that research is showing can have a damaging effect on a child's mental health.”

    The parents are told that children will be asked to break off at least every two hours and avoid social media before bedtime. The UK would be following in the footsteps of European countries if schools were to introduce a ban. with French pupils being told to leave their smart phones at home when they returned from their summer holidays last year.

    At the Festival of Education at Wellington College last summer, Professor Michael from America said that any sensible head would ban mobile phones. "It's far too distracting for children having mobile phones. Texting, playing games, all this takes place. Mobile phones go off in classrooms, disrupting lessons. Ban them. If children want to use a phone in an emergency they can use the school phone."

(1)、What's Nick Gibb's attitude towards using mobile phone in school?
A、Cautious. B、Supportive. C、Indifferent. D、Disapproving.
(2)、What is one possible result of spending too much time online according to the text?
A、An hour less exercise a week. B、More effects on sleep quality. C、Less communication with family. D、An improvement in mental health.
(3)、Which country has asked students to leave their phones at home?
A、UK. B、New Zealand. C、USA D、France.
(4)、What is the main idea of the text?
A、Mobile Phones cause bad effects on our study. B、Mobile phones should be banned from classrooms. C、Parents should forbid their kids to use mobile phones. D、Students can use mobile phones in case of emergency.

    It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征)of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population—men and women—are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left?

    History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.

    Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.

    There are many dangerous sea creatures in the world. The following are some examples.

    The needlefish are commonly seen living near the surface of tropical (热带的) waters. But they can also break cover the water,and once in the air they can become dangerous flying swords. Though it is rare,people have been seriously hurt and even killed by the fish.Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk because their lights may attract the fish.

    Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest crocodiles,sometimes reaching 23 feet in length and topping 2,200 pounds. Yet these crocodiles hunt quietly,lying in wait below shoreline waters to attack turtles and thirsty animals that have come to drink. Saltwater crocodiles kill a number of people each year.

    There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain. The world's largest fish can weigh at over 5,000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20 feet. Great white sharks have about 3,000 teeth,which they typically sink into sea lions,seals,and sea turtles. These sharks are responsible for a third to a half of the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.

    The sea anemone (海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named,but fish that swim too close may regret it. The sea anemone,which lives on the sea floor,uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poison—making them helpless and fit to be eaten.

    The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous. Scientists believe that the world's seas hold some 1, 200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about

    50,000 people per year. But the surgeonfish poison can also bring great benefit—they are useful in the development of new drugs.

    I have been unusually silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end,, but I'm afraid I must tell you now that fate(命运)has decided on a different course for me.

    In August of last year, I underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my abdomen. That operation was thought to have been a success, but it caused a series of secondary complications – which I have been fighting in hospital ever since. It was along and hard fight with many setbacks, but I was steadily, if slowly, overcoming each obstacle along the way and gradually making my way back to health.

    However, recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign or it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final conclusion. My fight is over.

    I wish to thank my doctors and caregivers, who efforts have been magnificent. My dear friends, who have given me a lifetime of memories and whose support has sustained me through these difficult months. And all of my partners at The Washington Post, Fox News, and Crown Publishing.

    Lastly, I thank my colleagues, my readers, and my viewers, who have made my career possible and given consequence to my life's work. I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and thorough argument is a noble undertaking. I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation's destiny.

    I leave this life with no regret. It was a wonderful life – full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.

Family Fun

    Not only is Buffalo family-friendly, we're also family-fun! If you have yet to pack the car, here are four activities to plan for your next family adventure in Buffalo.

    Animal House

    Take a walk on the wild side and visit with our animal friends! You can have some facetime with river otters (水獭) at the Buffalo Zoo. Get up close and personal with animals on a tour at Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, and develop your child's sense of wonder at Tifft Nature Preserve, a place that's great for bird-watching. And don't leave town without a visit to the Aquarium of Niagara to see the penguins (企鹅)!

    Make a Splash

    Buffalo is surrounded by water and plenty of chances to make a splash. Head to Canalside and ride on a water bike or take a sunset tour on the Miss Buffalo II. Have fun in the water park at Fantasy Island or jump on a Whirlpool Jet Boat or a Niagara Jet Adventure tour for a wild ride on the Niagara River. Welcome to our water world.

    Hands-On Experiences

    Throw the textbooks aside and introduce your little explorers to hands-on experiences. Raise a future paleontologist (古生物学者) with a visit to Penn Dixie where the kids can dig for fossils (化石). Head to East Aurora where learning feels like play at Explore & More Children's Museum.

    Make History

    There's plenty to inspire the imagination of the history lovers in your family on a trip to Buffalo. Appreciate art at the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum. Pick up a souvenir at the Kazoo Factory Museum or experience life in the 19th century at the Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village. It's time to make history in Buffalo!
