My name is Alice. I'm a movie lover and I 1 my kids to like movies, too. When I took my daughter, Tina, to the movie theater for the first time, she was six and the 2 was Bambi. I chose it because I 3 a cartoon movie would be proper to her.
At first, everything was going just fine and Bambi was so4. However, when a man killed Bambi's mother, my daughter became very5 and wanted to go home. So we left in the middle of the movie. Later, I chose movies more carefully and my daughter watched many great ones.6, she likes movies as much as I do now.
My worry is: Are cartoons really safe (安全的) and 7 for kids?
Once I sat on the sofa watching a 8 with my 8-year-old son, Nick. I got dumbfounded (惊呆的) when I saw a little 9 in the cartoon bleeding (流血). The cartoon was like an action movie for adults (成人)!
Next time you take a kid to the movie theater, be careful. Maybe a cartoon isn't the best. You should take the time to watch it first, or the kid may10 that he or she isn't ready to get it yet. Do you think so?

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone. The egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard. Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second, to keep the people inside safe,
A few years ago, people smoked everywhere. Smoking causes all kinds of illnesses and they might make people sick. However, doctors learned that it was bad for non-smokers, too. Smokers breathe out second-hand smoke, and non-smokers have to breathe it in.
However, there is another problem. When secondhand smoke goes away, it leaves third-hand smoke behind. Third-hand smoke is also bad for our health and it's even harder to get rid of it!
When someone smokes in a place, the smoke leaves chemicals on the walls, floors and even furniture. These chemicals are third-hand smoke. Over time, there will be more and more of it. It can hurt you even if you don't breathe it in. Just touching it will hurt you as well. These chemicals are really bad for our health.
Third-hand smoke is bad for kids. It stays on their clothes and toys. If kids put those things into their mouths, third-hand smoke will get into their bodies. It makes children get sick more often. It can cause death in babies.
If you can smell smoke, third-hand smoke is around. You can wash it away, but you had better stop doing so. There is only one way to stop smoke — all places must be no-smoking even homes and cars.
Over thousands of years, China has produced a large number of inventions. And the four inventions namely paper, gunpowder, the compass and printing, are traditionally referred to as the Four Great Inventions in China.
The invention of paper as we know came in China around 105 AD. The inventor of paper is traditionally considered to be Cai Lun. The great thing about Cai Lun's invention was that his paper was good to write on, cheap, light and easy to carry. However, a recent evidence (证据) shows paper was in use in China two hundred years earlier.
The second great invention, printing, goes closely with paper. Building on other printing technology, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing around 1040. Before its invention, people copied down things by handwriting. Today almost everyone in the world uses printing. People can use it to print newspapers, magazines and books.
The third great Chinese invention is gunpowder. Gunpowder was invented in the Tang Dynasty. Before its invention, people couldn't do some construction like building mountain tunnels (隧道). Today soldiers use it in guns and cannons. Constructors use it to break rocks into pieces. Scientists use it in rockets as fuel.
The compass was invented in the Spring and Autumn Period. The circular centre represents Heaven, and the square plate represents Earth. The handle of the spoon points south. The spread of the compass to Europe opened the oceans of the world to travel and led to the discovery of the New World.
Everyone wants to live a happy life. Everyone talks about happiness. But what makes us feel really happy? What can we get from happiness?
Well, scientists from a university in New York found that people who are happy and positive about life live longer. A happy man can be much healthier, too.
There was also a study about happiness in Britain. Researchers found that eating a family meal at least three times a week is the key to happiness. Because it helps build a strong relationship between parents and their children.
Money makes the world go round, but it is not everything. Now people are richer than before, but they feel less happier than ever. However, another study found that money can buy people happiness, but only when people spend it in a right way.
How much happiness can you feel? If you want to be happy, you can go for it.
Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? It happens when you park and go shopping. When you get back, you have no idea where your car is. Then you start wandering around and clicking on the panic button on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be frustrating, especially on a hot, sunny day.
Now, you don't need to install (安装) a GPS system to look for your car. That's too expensive. But is there a way to find your car without doing so? Yes, there is!
A company in California was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device that works with your smart phone, and it could be cheap and exactly what you're looking for.
What is it? It's called TrackR Bravo. It is a tracking device. It's changing the way we look for the important things in our lives.
How does it work?
It's easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smart phone, connect the app to your device and you're ready to go! Simply connect TrackR to whatever you want to track (追踪). The whole process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.
You can connect it to your keys, bag, wallet and anything else you don't want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds.
“This device has saved me lots of time and money!” said an American engineer.
八、语法填空。(共1小题)
Can you imagine what the world will be like in 100 years? A better worse place? In the modem society of technology, everything (have) a different type. We have invented many new (machine). On the one hand, those things will help people a lot and we are sometimes depending technology too much. For example, we can order something to eat by telephone without (go) out. We can finish all the work by "one touch", we just hold small remote control (遥控器), and it will order everything. For example, the car will drive to our house by (it) with our order.
On the other hand, when we get so many new things in our life, it will make some (problem). Maybe people will feel strange around other people because we will hardly talk to one another.
