    In many high schools, there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry.

    Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now, there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子铃声)”.

    Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率). As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but someone of 20 or older can't.

    But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student's phone uses mosquitotone. In class, the student's phone rang. The 22-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule:no mobile phone in class. ”

    Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, “Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure, but not in class. It's unfair(不公平的) to the teachers!”

    What do parents think of mosquitotone?“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters,” says Connie Neeson, 44. “Think about it. You're watching a film and someone's mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don't hear it. However, it also has a bad influence(影响) on their study if students use it in class. ”

(1)、Mosquitotone works because _________.
A、it is very loud B、it has no sound C、it has a beautiful sound D、it is mainly for children and teenagers.
(2)、Which of the following about Jerry Jones is TRUE?
A、He likes watching movies. B、He is a high school teacher. C、He thinks mobile phones are helpful. D、He refuses to use mosquitotone in class.
(3)、The 22-year-old teacher felt unhappy because the student _________.
A、was late for class B、didn't do his homework C、couldn't answer her question D、was using a mobile phone in class
(4)、Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone _________.
A、has no bad influence B、is unfair to the teachers C、has its advantage and disadvantage D、can't be used in any public place
(5)、The writer wrote this passage mainly to introduce ________.
A、a strict rule B、a famous school C、a special ringstone D、A popular mobile phone

It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
1.Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
2.Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
3. Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat(压平)and melted(融化)and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
4.Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的)apples, You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
5. Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a "throw-away" society(社会).But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.

Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said "no" or "we don't know." But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.

Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time.Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old."This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life, “say Shostak and Barnett.The second reason is size—the universe is huge.“Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜)have shown that there age at least 100 billion galaxies,”says Shostak.“And our galaxy,the Milky Way,has at least 100 billion stars.Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”

In the past,it was hard to took for signs of intelligent life in the universe,But now. powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜)allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems.These planets might have intelligent life.

    Have beings from space already visited Earth?“Probably not.”says Shostak.“It's a long way away.However,intelligent beings may contact us in other way,such as radio signals.In fact,they may be trying to communicate with us now,but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages.However,this is changin9.By 2025,we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”

    Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called "Internet of things" is developing.

    The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. In 2015, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that in the next five years, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine.

    So, how do household objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

    An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.

    But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home devices (装置) don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Connectivity Foundation, which has more than 300 members now.

    So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favourite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

    Have you got an eReader? Are you thinking of getting one? We asked some eReaders owners to give us their opinions.

    There are many things that people like about eReaders. "eReaders are really light, weighing less than most paperbacks," said Nathan Jones, a market researcher. "You can hold the book and turn the pages with one hand. An eReader is definitely more comfortable to read in bed or if you're lying on a sofa, plus mine's got a light so I can read in bed at night without disturbing my partner." Another big advantage is that you can store hundreds of books on them. "eReaders are perfect for travel," said Kiera Smith. "You can have lots of books in one device, instead of carrying loads of books in your luggage." The search functions are also popular. "You can look for a character by their name or for a place just by typing in the word. That's really useful," said Megan Malone, a sales executive.

    One user liked the function for increasing font size. "I've got poor eyesight," explained Harvey Callaghan, an engineer. "But the eReader is perfect for me as I can increase the font size." And Jennifer Saunders said, "I like eReaders because they're ecological. If we buy an ebook, we're helping to save trees as they don't use paper. Also, my eReader is solarpowered, so it only uses renewable energy." Best of all is the availability of hundreds of free books online. "Project Gutenberg has millions of titles and they're all free to download," said another user.

    One of the biggest complaints is that you can't find certain titles. "Many books are simply not available in electronic form," said Daisy Madison, an estate agent. If you want a specific book, one that is older, perhaps, or not a bestseller, it won't be available – at least, that was my experience."

    Others complained about the small delay in turning pages. "The gap between pressing the 'next page' button and the screen showing the page is really annoying," said Joel Bray, a shop assistant. "Also, you can't flick between pages so easily."

So, what do you think?
