    Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks (自拍杆)?{#blank#}1{#/blank#} 

    However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it "selfie arm". {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a love one.

The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has – people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The product, at present, just an art project and a model, conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.

    The "selfie are" is made of fiberglass. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick phenomenon (现象) directly and increasing need for narcissism (自恋) and Internet agreement.

    At 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus No. 26 was going along Zhongshan Road when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman next to him was shouting for help.

    The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem and should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knew he had to act quickly. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital. He expected most of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus. But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to move the man onto the bus.

    Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the man was saved by the doctors in time. "It's sad that many people don't want to help others because they don't want any trouble," says one passenger." but the driver didn't think about himself. He only thought about saving a life."

    Read the passage and write (T) before the things that happened in the story, and write (F) the things that didn't happen in the story.

    The Shanghai Disney Resort is different from others in the world. It opened on June 16th, 2016. The resort is in Pudong, Shanghai and it is the first Disney resort on the Chinese Mainland. Shanghai Disneyland has changed the classic Main Street USA to a Mickey Avenue.

    Main Street USA was designed by Walt Disney himself. For 60 years, it has been the main entry (人口) of Disney theme parks in the world. However, the designers (设计者) of the Shanghai resort think there should be something new. So the designers create the Mickey Avenue.

    On the Mickey Avenue, Mickey Mouse and his friends will greet the visitors. Visitors can take photos with Mickey Mouse and his friends. There are also many shops along the avenue. It is the largest part for visitors to buy gifts in the theme park. During the day, there will be Mickey's Storybook Express(专列). There will be firework(烟火)shows at night. The designers hope visitors can enjoy themselves there.
