浙江省杭州市余杭区2024-2025学年九年级上学期英语期末独立作业
Right now a baby is shouting because he doesn't want to eat his lunch. What are the parents doing? They' re filming the scene on a smartphone. Soon after, they' re posting the video on social media. A teenage boy is playing a new song on his guitar. His mother is filming him. Two days later, the boy discovers that other people are watching the video online.
Parents in the UK post about 1,000 photos of their children online from when they are born until their fifth birthday, a phenomenon(现象) called"sharenting". Babies don't care about this at the time. But a study by the University of Michigan suggests that there is a difference with 10-to 17-year-olds. Teenagers don't always like parents posting some photos. All babies cry, but teenagers don't want people to see old photos of themselves doing this.
Some parents share all sorts of photos of their children, maybe even when they are doing something silly. They do it with good intentions, for example to share special moments with grandparents who live far away. But some middle-aged users of social media don't check their privacy(隐私) settings and share posts with others by accident.
In some countries, it isn't allowed to post photos of your own children without their permission. In Italy, a 16-year-old boy is allowed to force his mother either to stop sharing photos of him on social media or pay a €10,000 fine! In France, parents pay fines of up to €45,000 and can spend a year in prison(监狱) when they post photos of their children without their permission.
Parents are usually very sensible about photos of their children. The report from the University of Michigan suggests this is an area where it's important for parents to listen to children over ten. Let them say what they are happy to share, and who with. That way the whole family can enjoy looking back at all those special moments.
The school friendship forum(论坛) is opened. Let's see the self-introduction of three students.

Jessica from America is a big fan of Harry Potter. She began to read the books when she was still an 8-year-old girl. They have influenced(影响)her life a lot. She has collected some other fans' stories about the influence of the books on them.
Like Harry, I lost my mother. Harry Potter helped me face it. I began to read it at the age of 12 after my mother's loss. I remember staying up to read it and ending up crying as Harry's mother said to him-- "You've been so brave. " Those are the kind of words you want to hear when you've lost a parent. They hit your heart sometimes. I think I can be a lot stronger than before. | |
I didn't want to read until my friends told me about a wizard called Harry. I didn't like reading until I heard a lot of my friends reading Harry Potter. I read it from the first page to the last page at the age of 11. As Harry, Hennione and Ron grew up, I grew up, too. Harry Potter showed me that reading could be enjoyable. It changed my life because it led me to love reading. | |
I was lonely and Harry Potter helped me get better. When I entered high school, my family moved away to another city. I lived with my uncle and his family. At that time, my whole world was gray, but Harry Potter gave me something to look forward to. The books helped me understand that I could talk to my friends, and they were always helpful. And the books taught us to care about others. |
