    Do you check your mobile phone often? Do you feel anxious if your mobile phone is not with you? When there is no WiFi or signal for your mobile phone, will you get nervous? If you say yes, then you've got addiction(上瘾) to mobile phones.

    ①Nowadays, we can see the scene everywhere in the life: in subways, restaurants, roads,people are watching their mobile phones. From family party to dating with friend, people couldn't top checking their twitter, WeChat, facebook on the mobile phones and snubbing(忽视)the persons in front completely. Phubbing (低头症) influences not only the young people, but also the old and even the kids.

    "Phubbing" is a new word which comes from the words "phone" and "snub". It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a mobile phone. ②因为玩手机，更多的人变得沉默。They do nothing but bow to play mobile phones.③ time, spend too, they, phones, much, the on(.) And they don't have time to communicate with persons in real life.

    If we keep playing with phones when we are with our friends or family, we will spend less time talking to them. In fact, they need and deserve to be cared for.

    Let us put down the cell phones and enjoy the nature, the food, the books and all the beautiful things and persons around us.

    Maybe you pride yourselves on only sleeping a few hours a night. However, are you feeling tired and sleepy throughout the day? Do you have a hard time keeping your eyes open as you study? Have you nodded off while driving? If you can answer “Yes” to any of these, it shows you could not have enough sleep.

    It is suggested that most adults need seven to nine hours' sleep. As for teens, they need even more. If you aren't getting enough sleep, you should：

    Avoid caffeine(避免咖啡因)

    You should avoid drinking caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea and soda for at least 10 hours before you go to bed.

    Avoid eating big meals before sleeping

    Eating a big meal can make you feel sleepy, and it can make you feel uncomfortable and prevent you from sleeping well.

    Build a healthy sleep environment

    With the light on, can you have a good sleep? Of course not, and you'd better keep your bedroom dark and cool.

    Avoid using electronics before sleeping

    The light from electronics can keep you from falling asleep. Try reading or listening to quiet music instead.

    Please get enough sleep from now on.

    Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942. He is one of the most well-known scientists on space and time in the world. Hawking is researching how the universe began and how it ends. He is called the King of the Universe.

    When he studied math and science at Oxford University, he became seriously ill, which made him unable to speak or breathe without the help of machines. Till now, he can't move or feed himself and he is helped to dress, eat and wash by a nurse. However, he has a wheelchair with a special computer, with which he can communicate with others.

    In spite of all these difficulties, he refused to give up his hope of living and went on to study at Cambridge University after graduating from Oxford University. In 1965, he got a Doctor's Degree of philosophy(哲学). Because of his serious illness, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he is respected by people in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It has been sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China to give lectures. His self-confidence and humorous conversations impressed us deeply.

    From Hawking's unusual experiences , we learn that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad the situation is .As he once said," Life is not fair, you just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

    Great white sharks (鲨鱼) in the Pacific Ocean. Wildebeest (角马) in Africa. Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) in the Atlantic. At first, these animals seem quite different. One swims, one walks, and the other flies. But they all have one thing in common. They all migrate (迁徙).

    Some migrating animals move to a place with better temperatures. Some go to find food or water. The groups travel as one, but during the trip, they face many different challenges.

    One challenge is distance (距离). Some migrating animals take very long trips. For example, one great white shark swam from Australia to South Africa and back. In nine months, it swam about 20, 000 kilometers!

    Another challenge is finding enough food or water during the journey. For example, each Mali elephant needs over 200 liters (升) of water each day. To get this, they need to go from one waterhole to another.

    Besides, migrating animals have to keep away from other animals because they want to eat them. The zebra (斑马) has to avoid lions. Traveling as a group helps keep them safe. When one zebra is in trouble, the other members make a circle around it.

    By working as a group, migrating animals travel to live better lives.
