WeChat, known as Weixin in China, is a mobile phone communication service which was developed after QQ by Tencent on January 21, 2011 in China. It is free to use and has been the most popular in China.

    ①{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    You can register(注册) WeChat with your phone number, and add your friends' numbers in your contact list. It works just like talking on QQ. You can send your pictures and share your feelings. And your friends are able to find them as soon as they get online. What's more, they can also give you their comments such as "   ".

    ②{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    It can send voice messages, text messages, pictures and videos. Different information could be sent to your friends. WeChat provides(提供) us with shopping, games, news, e-banks and so on. If you want to order a dinner in a restaurant, you can even pay for it by WeChat. In this way, it will help you save time and money.

    ③{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    WeChat is supported on Wifi, 2G, 3G and 4G, so you can chat with your family or friends in a new way but using your phone at a low price anytime and anywhere. Even though your friends stay abroad, they are still able to use WeChat to communicate with you and share their interesting experiences with you.

    ④ {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    However, there are some dangers of WeChat. It is often reported that many traffic accidents are caused by careless drivers who can't help playing on WeChat while driving. And some bad guys even use WeChat to gamble(赌博), which breaks the law. Luckily, WeChat is improved now and then.

    ⑤ {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    So it seems impossible that WeChat will be replaced in the near future. It is going to solve these difficulties and develop better and better.

    There was a park near my home，but I didn't go there often．Many people said there was nothing special there．One afternoon I went into the park．I walked quickly because there wasn't much to see．{#blank#}1{#/blank#}“Which way should I go? ”I asked myself I looked at one path(小路)，then the other．I found that the two paths were different from each other．

    The left one was wide(宽阔的)and clean．{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Though the flowers weren't very beautiful-they made me feel good．I decided to take this path．But wait ! I looked at the right one．The path didn't look nice．It looked like it had not been cleaned for months．For a long time I couldn't decide which path to choose．

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}It wasn't nice，but I didn't want to give up．At last, I came to the end of the path．Ah! There was a small garden there．It'was beautiful．There were trees, flowers and chairs there．I thought it was the nicest part of the park．

    Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park．Now I' d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently．{#blank#}4{#/blank#}I knew they didn't believe me．They couldn't even remember that path because it was so small．

    My trip to the park made me understand something about life．{#blank#}5{#/blank#}You may get a big surprise!

    Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, there were only a few thousand people in the world. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.

    No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to move any more.

    They could stay m one place and grow food there. People began to live near each other, so the first

    Villages appeared. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became larger and larger.

    Then people had machines. Life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more People lived near the factories, so the villages grew into cities. Some of them grew very big.

    Today, it's strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?
