According to a study, about 85% of Grade 11 students in Canada have their own mobile phones. About 52% of Grade 7 students and 24% of Grade 4 students also carry mobile phones.

    In many schools, students must turn off their mobile phones and leave {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in their schoolbags during school hours. Some schools even don't allow students {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) mobile phones to school.

Do you know why these schools don't want students to use mobile phones at school? One of the main {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (reason) is that mobile phones can distract(使分心) students {#blank#}4{#/blank#} their study.

    Many of these mobile phones are "smartphones", and they can be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use) to surf the Internet, send text messages, play games, take {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (photo) and listen to music. Mr. Jackson says, "Many teachers like me are also {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (worry) that students will use mobile phones to cheat (作弊) in tests, or to record videos of teachers or other students and post them online."

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, some people have different opinions. They think mobile phones are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (use) at school. Students can use them in class {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (watch) educational videos online. Mobile phones can be especially useful in the schools where there aren't enough computers. What's more, some parents want to be able to reach their children during the day. They want their children to take mobile phones all the time.

    A dog entered a butcher's shop with a note in his mouth. The note read, "$10 of lamb chops(羊排), please."

    The butcher was very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(surprise). He took the money, put a bag of chops in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(dog)mouth, and then he closed the shop {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(quick).He followed the dog and watched him wait for a green light. Then the dog crossed the road to a bus stop. He checked the timetable and sat on the bench. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and got {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it.

    As the bus travelled out into the countryside, the dog enjoyed the scenery. After {#blank#}5{#/blank#}while, he stood on his back paws(爪子){#blank#}6{#/blank#}(push)the "stop" button. Then the butcher followed {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(he)off.

    The dog ran up to a house and dropped his bag on the ground. He went back down the path, took a big run, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(throw)himself against the door. No answer. He repeated the action a few times. Then a big man opened the door {#blank#}9{#/blank#}started complaining about the dos and beating him.

    Seeing this, the butcher ran up and shouted at the man, "What are you doing? This dog is a genius!" The man replied, "Genius? No way！He has forgotten his key for the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(four)time this month!"

    Dream House in California is not a house for only one or two children. It's a house for many {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (kid). It's a family. It's the future.

    Imagine {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live) in a hospital for many years because of illness. Imagine that one stays in a cold street {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there is no other place to stay. These children need help. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (them) need Dream House. Many years ago, a little girl named Collin Rose {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (decide) that when she grew up, she would offer a warm home {#blank#}6{#/blank#} those sick and homeless children. When she grew up, she became {#blank#}7{#/blank#} nurse and made her dream come true. In November, 2003, Collin Rose set up Dream House.

    Collin Rose's efforts have {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (encourage) many people to help sick, and homeless children.

    "Every child should have a happy childhood. We may help make these children's lives {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) than before. Your small help may {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (great) change their lives. No help is too small," Collin Rose said.
