Kids love the all-knowing Google. Your kids likely use Google to help them find everything from information for homework assignments, to funny cat videos, and everything in between. Sometimes kids can take a "wrong turn" on Google and end up in a dark part of the Internet where they shouldn't be. Thankfully, Google has some parental control features that parents can implement to at least help reduce the volume(量) of crap(废物) that ends up in search results,which can enable you to help keep your curious kids from ending up on the wrong side of the tracks.
What is Google SafeSearch? Google SafeSearch is one of the primary parental control options offered by Google to help parents police search results. SafeSearch helps to filter explicit(明确的)content out of search results. It is mainly designed to target sexually explicit material (images and videos) and not violent content.

For instructions on how to enable SafeSearch on a variety of mobile devices, check out Google's SafeSearch Mobile support page. As we all know, kids are going to be kids and try to test their boundaries. We put up one roadblock and they go around it. It's a constant cat and mouse game and there will always be some internet door that we as parents forget to lock, and that will be the one that the kids get through, but we do the best we can.

22、The human personality is a rather complex and bewildering thing to study. In order to gain a better understanding of the subject, people have attempted to find increasingly reliable ways to measure and classify personalities. 【1】
Personality tests pose a series of questions or ambiguous images that are meant to help assess the test taker’s personality. Once completed, the collected answers will indicate what “type” of personality the test taker has.
【2】 They’re used to assess theories, evaluate the effectiveness of therapies, diagnose psychological problems, examine personality changes, and even screen job candidates. Personality testing has become a multibillion-dollar industry, and it is used by individuals, schools corporations, and even government agencies around the globe.
The majority of the tests that are used by experts today are based on the “Big Five” personality model. This theory suggests that the human personality can be measured across five broad dimensions: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to change. 【3】 Some even break these dimensions further into smaller “subtraits” or divide the traits differently.
Essentially, the personality tests we use today fall into two categories: self-report inventories and projective tests. The first category typically involves having the test subject read a number of multiple-choice questions or statements and then rating how well the described qualities or characteristics apply to them. The biggest advantage of self-report inventories is that they are standardized and use established norms(准则). 【4】
The second category involves presenting the test subject with ambiguous scenes, objects, or scenarios(设想) and then asking them to give their interpretations of the test items. These descriptions are then used to assess the individual’s unconscious fears, desires, and challenges. This type of personality test is usually used in psychotherapy settings, where it allows therapists to gather a great deal of information about their clients in a relatively short amount of time. 【5】 Different people may provide different interpretations of the responses given.
A.However, its subjective nature can be a problem.
B.Nowadays, these tests are conducted for a wide variety of purposes.
C.Personality tests are likely to become a more useful tool for employers.
D.These eventually gave rise to the modern personality tests that we use today.
E.Therefore, they’re easy to carry out and tend to have much higher reliability and validity.
F.Some people have high levels of openness to experience or score high in conscientiousness.
G.Some tests refer to these five dimensions by different labels or focus on one of them more than the others.
23、The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. 【1】
Culture shapes our identity and influences our behaviors, and cultural diversity makes us accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate (同化) into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from our own. 【2】 Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history, but by mixing with people from other cultures, they may have the opportunity to learn more about different countries.
For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about the culture they are interested in, or do some online research on reputable websites. 【3】 One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.
【4】 It’s the same for children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If children are not aware of diversity, then they become close-minded. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. 【5】
In today’s world, if we are able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier for us.
A.Understanding diversity is important for adults.
B.Here are some ways to fight against cultural prejudices.
C.The best way to learn, though, is through face-to-face interaction.
D.That’s why more of us feel as if we are living in a multicultural age.
E.Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons.
F.Help them be more open-minded toward people of different races, cultures, and countries.
G.In many multicultural communities, the best representation of diversity can be found in schools.
24、Moscow city authorities have begun using comics with characters from Russian fairytales to explain to migrants how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to “maintain a positive image” of the city and could help reduce “tensions” between natives and migrants. But some people have pointed out that foreign immigrants and natives may be viewed as antagonists in the manual(手册). They think immigrants and natives should live together in harmony.
Russians and immigrants have repeatedly clashed in Moscow recently. Many immigrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia,the Caucasus and North Caucasus,arrive in Moscow every year,attracted by the capital's job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally.
The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the “dos” and" don'ts" to immigrants. They are urged not to cause trouble,by staring at women,or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely stop them to check their documents.
In the manual,Russia's famous“Three warriors”are meant to represent the city's law enforcement agencies,while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character)is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile,Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia's language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow's strict residency and employment rules,stressing that immigrants could otherwise be deported(驱逐出境)or banned from entry.
The manual was written primarily for illegal immigrants,Alexander Kalinin,who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow,told BBC Russian.
“We want to raise their level of law awareness,”he added.
In the beginning immigrants had been identified as representatives of deferent nationalities, but the book's authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin.
"The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders appears again,"
Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some immigrants who were not native Russian speakers.
【1】The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by ______ .
A.strangers
B.opponents
C.competitors
D.acquaintances
【2】People from other countries come to Moscow ______ .
A.to enjoy the fine climate
B.to have a new lifestyle
C.to find occupations with good income
D.to experience a new culture
【3】What can we learn about the manual?
A.It may not make immigrants and natives live in harmony.
B.It is full of funny stories from fairy tales.
C.It aims to protect the rights of locals and immigrants.
D.It sets strict and cruel rules to immigrants.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The book will make it easy for foreign immigrants to read.
B.Foreign immigrants may find the manual interesting to read.
C.The Russian language is hard for foreign immigrants to learn.
D.Foreign immigrants may have difficulty reading the manual.
【5】Which of the following would be the best tile of the text?
A.Ways to help foreign immigrants to settle in Russia.
B.More and more foreign immigrants work in Moscow.
C.Moscow fairy tale comics to help immigrants behave.
D.Characters from Russian fairy tales attract public attention.

Li Jiang
When I was in the primary school, I often met with problems which I could not work out on my own, especially in English and arithmetic. So I downloaded an online educational app named Zuoyebang. Since then, I have been using several kinds of such software, for example, Xuebajun and Haofenshu. Whenever I have a problem, I will turn to them. As a result, my study has been progressing steadily. I will strongly recommend these apps to my friends.

After entering the senior high, I found I had more and more difficulty learning maths and English. As many online learning products are quite popular among other students, my parents subscribed to one for me too. After that, however, I feel as if I were going to two schools, one real-world school and one online school. Every day I have endless exercises to do and feel very tired. Worse still, I feel I have lost interest in my study now. What shall I do?
