21、 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 in on WeChat(微信). Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans(扫描)his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative(创新的), 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, “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 fill behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it is unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code 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.

Eat Less Meat, Please!
There are many ways to save the Earth. We can use less water, plant more trees, d【1】 less and bike more. Now, some scientists have put forward one more way to avoid dangerous climate change—eat less meat.
Their new research finds farm animals like caws and pigs p【2】 much more greenhouse gases than we thought. W【3】 action, the influence will become far worse as the world population continues to grow. And, as global income rises, more people will afford and eat meat-rich diets.
One of the researchers is Johan Rockstrom. He is a professor from Germany. “Feeding a world population of ten billion is p【4】, but only if we change how we eat,” the scientist said. “Greening food production creating up our planet—this is what is on the menu today.”
A U.N. report also warns that eating less meat and dairy is important. The current trends, however, are in the o【5】 direction. Rockstrom calculated that on average we needed to eat 75 percent less beef, 90 percent less pork and half the number of eggs. Education, taxes and changes to school and workplace menus can help achieve this goal.
In some countries, people have become more aware of the importance of changing their diets. In the Netherlands, young people have been eating less meat. “We know food choices are very personal. That behavior change can be difficult” said Rockstrom. “But the evidence is how clear. We need to change our d【6】 if we want to save our planet.”
