Once there were six blind (失明的) men. They often heard of elephants, but never knew what they {#blank#}1{#/blank#} .One morning, when they knew that a man was riding an elephant down the road, they asked the man to stop so that they could "see" it. They thought that by {#blank#}2{#/blank#}it they could learn what kind of animal it was.

    The first man put his both {#blank#}3{#/blank#}on the elephant's body. "It is like a wall (墙)," he said.

   The second man only touched the elephant's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} .It is not like a wall at all" he said "It's more like a spear(矛)

    The third man touched the elephant's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} nose. You are not righht" he said. This elephant is like a(n){#blank#}6{#/blank#}

    The fourth man touched one of the elephant's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}"Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is round and tall like a tree."

    The fifth man was very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and touched the elephant's ear. "This animal is like a big fan (扇子)," he said.

    The {#blank#}9{#/blank#}man touched the elephant's tail (尾巴). He said, "The elephant is like a rope."

    They all {#blank#}10{#/blank#}each other. The elephant" moved on and the six blind men still talked about it……

    ZhangMing, a college graduate from Shandong, created a 9-page"Wechatguide". With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. "My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology, "he said.

    Zhang's experience is c{#blank#}2{#/blank#} nowadays.Worldwide,40percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2017.

    Parents u {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.

    The c{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of the roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information b{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  from asking older generations. Therefore, in the age of information, it's possible that children know more than their parents do.

    According to the China Internet Network Information Center, 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generation u{#blank#}6{#/blank#} acts as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.

    In Zhang Ming's eyes, teaching his parents about Wechat brings him c{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to his parents."People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out? "said Zhang.

    Alice was born with a strange disease. She was taken to many hospitals. None of the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} knew the cause of the disease. They told her parents she would go blind and deaf.

    Now Alice is fifteen years old. Her eyesight and hearing are so poor that she can't see or hear {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. But she is a bright and happy girl. She says to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, "Whatever happens, I will never give up. " She {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to enjoy her life. With her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} help, she is travelling as much as she can. She is also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the interesting things she experiences along the way.

    She also wants to help people like her. Her dream is to help researchers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a method for her disease. If she can get {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, people who have the same disease may also be cured (治愈). In fact, she has {#blank#}9{#/blank#} money for a foundation (基金会) fighting the disease since she was in Grade Two. Until now, she has got over $150，000!

    Alice thinks helping others can make her {#blank#}10{#/blank#} than having fun alone. She is doing her best to live her life without any regret.
