26、 Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an．He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码)．“We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.” Said Guo, “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat．Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me．So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat． When Guo scans his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone．He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos．
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting．“We are living in the information age．Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s．
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education．Education itself is a kind of creation．I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried ． They are afraid that their children will spend too much time surfing the Internet and less time communicating with teachers ． But in fact, it’s unnecessary ． Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework．They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time． Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time．And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students．

27、 When you're a parent to a young child, you spend a lot of time talking about feelings: about having to share, about being disappointed because you may not have a cookie instead of broccoli(绿花椰菜）， about the great injustice of a parent pressing the elevator button before the child has a chance to.
And in a parenting culture that's increasingly concerned with centering children's needs above all else, mothers and fathers have become skillful at talking about their kids' feelings while masking their own. But new research suggests that parents who hide their negative emotions are doing their children, and themselves harm.
A study published this month says that when parents put on a faux-happy(假开心）face for their kids, they do damage to their own sense of wellbeing and authenticity.
“For the average parent the findings suggest when they attempt to hide their negative emotion expression and over express their positive emotions with their children, it actually comes at a cost: doing So may lead parents to feel worse themselves, "researcher Dr. Emily Impett, says.
It makes sense that parents often fall back on amping up(扩大）the positivity for the sake of their children-there are a lot of things in the world we want to protect our kids from. But children are often smarter than we expect and are quite in tune with what the people closest to them-their parents-are feeling.
There was a time about a year or so ago, for example, when I received some bad news over the phone; I was home with my four-year-old and so I did my best to put on a brave face. She knew immediately something was wrong though, and was confused.
When I finally let a few tears out and explained that Mom heard something sad about a friend, she was, of course, just fine. My daughter patted my shoulder, gave me a hug, and went back to playing. She felt better that she was able to help me, and the moment made a lot more sense to her emotionally than a smiling mom holding back sobs. I was glad that I could feel sad momentarily and not have to work hard to hide that.
Relaying positive feelings to your children when you don't feel them is a move the researchers called high cost-that it may seem like the most beneficial to your child at the time but that parents should find other ways of communicating emotions that" allow them to feel true to themselves”。
But this is also about children seeing the world in a more honest way. While we will want to protect our children from things that aren't age-appropriate or harmful, it's better to raise a generation of kids who understand that moms and dads are people too.
【1】What is the typical behavior of parents when they bring up their children?
A.Allowing their children chances to do things themselves.
B.Expressing their dissatisfaction with their children.
C.Sharing their favorite food with their children.
D.Hiding their true feelings from their children.
【2】If parents put on a faux-happy face,_
A.their children will be protected
B.their children will be taken in
C.they will experience worse feelings
D.they will feel happy as a result
【3】The author mentioned the example of her daughter to show______.
A.children are not so clever as parents think
B.it's meaningful for parents to always look positive
C.children can often understand parents' true feelings
D.it's necessary to expose children to harmful things
【4】We can conclude from the passage that_____
A.protecting children from age-inappropriate things is important
B.children will admire their parents more because of being protected
C.it makes sense for children to know their parents' bad feelings
D.separation from bad feelings helps children see the world honestly
28、Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.
A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”
【1】What can we conclude from the text?

B．It never rains but pours.

A．The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.
B．Nine- tenths spent over three hours checking work emails.
C．One-fourth check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.
D．The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8 .am ..
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Workaholics like smartphones.
B．Smartphones bring about extra work.
C．Smartphones make our life easier.
D．Employers don’t like smartphones.
29、 With these tips you can finally get a solid night's sleep.
Reserve Your Bed
Get into bed just for sleeping. Avoid working, paying bills, reading, or watching television in bed. If you associate your bed only with sleep, you’ll be more likely to fall asleep.
Watch the Caffeine(咖啡因)
Too much caffeine throughout the day can cause interrupted sleep. Limit yourself to two cups of tea, coffee, or cola, taken at least 6 hours before bedtime.
Tap the Exercise Answer
In a study from Stanford University School of Medicine, a group of 50- to 76-year-olds who had complained of sleep problems began proper exercise for about half an hour four times a week. Compared with a similar group of people who didn’t exercise, the more active group slept an average of one hour more each night, took less time to fall asleep.
Take a Bath
Take a warm bath an hour or two before bed. Your body temperature will slowly drop after you get out of the tub（浴盆）, making you feel tired. Don’t bathe right before bed, however, because it can briefly stimulate you enough to make it hard to fall asleep.
Buy the Right Bed
A bed that’s too soft can cause poor sleep. Replace your mattress(床垫)if it’s more than ten years old, and buy one that’s as firm as you can tolerate but still comfortable.
If 30 minutes go by and you haven’t fallen asleep, don’t lie in bed feeling frustrated. Get up and do something relaxing.
【1】Which of the following is the best choice if one wants to have a good sleep?
