Our teachers had given us advice, and would meet us at the beginning and end of each day. We set off at top speed, but the six hours of hiking soon made us realise that walking at a steady pace was better than racing. Luckily, our teachers had given us a great tip: to 2 equipment. We had therefore only packed one of the things we could probably use. Even so, we found it a challenge to 3 our backpacks. It became clear that the lighter your backpack. the more comfortable you were. By the afternoon, we were 4 towards the destination but were suddenly surprised to find ourselves near a forest. We must have taken a 5 turning, and in a panic started arguing about which way to go. We realised that we hadnt been checking the 6 regularly and that was exactly what we should have been doing. Finally, we managed to get back on the right 7 without too much difficulty. The next morning we cooked a huge breakfast. It was a sunny morning and we set off in high spirits. As we walked, it became more humid. The pleasant day was quickly turning stormy and soon the 8 was pouring and we were cold. I understood then how quickly the weather in the mountains could change. Some people started 9 about being tired and wet and the end seemed a long way off But eventually, we arrived home safe and I was really 10 that Id done it. It made me appreciate that I was more capable than I thought. 1. A holidayB. trainingC. classD. hike2. A useB. makeC. shareD. add3. A. dropB. carryC. chooseD. identify4.

My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was reach for my phone. I always asked for Wi-Fi connections when I went to a new restaurant or coffee shop. A dead battery in my smartphone would make me feel stressed. Sometimes I had the uncomfortable feeling that this little machine had taken up too much of my time, but it was difficult to quit the habit. Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change. Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet! At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone. The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends social media updates every few minutes, but now I did not know what to do with myself. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt lost and anxious, as if I had missed something of value. It was scary at first. Then somehow I began to feel free. Therefore, I picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I kept a journal of my feelings, thoughts and daily activities to see how much progress I was making. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. My offline relationships benefited as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy each others company. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. One night, my mother took out some family photos and we laughed about old times. Most importantly, I thought I began to appreciate the beauty of life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera. By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. Real life and real relationships are more important to me now. I cannot escape from the modern world, but I can cut back on the amount of time I spend on my smartphone every day.24 What was probably the authors real problem?A. He missed something of great value.

CAs Mark Zuckerberg begins changing Facebook to private messaging and away from public sharing and open conversations, the vision he has thought of for the future of social networking already exists just not in the United States. Instead, it is a reality in China through a messaging app called WeChat. Developed by the Chinese internet giant（大公司） Tencent in 201l, WeChat lets people message each other via one-on-one texts, audio or video calls. Users can also from groups of as many as 500 people on WeChat to discuss and debate the issues of the day. While Facebook users often see ads in their News Feeds, WeChat users only see one o two ads a day in their Moment feeds. Thats because WeChat doesnt depend on advertising or making money. Mr. Zhang said. If WeChat were a person, it would have to be your best friend so that you would be willing to spend so much time with it. How could I post an ad on the face of your best friend? WeChat has a mobile payments system that has been widely adopted in China, which allows people to shop, play games, pay bills and order meal deliveries all from within the app. WeChat gets a commission（酬金）from many of these services. WeChat has shown that private messaging, especially the small groups, is the future, sad Jeffrey Towson, a professor of investment at Peking University. It has shown the path of business and life. What is happening in China offers clues to not only how Facebook may carry out its shift, but how the internet more broadly might change. Many of Silicon Valleys tech giants depend today on online advertising to make enough money to keep growing and innovating on new services. Some call online ads the lifeblood of the internet. But WeChat, which has 1. I billion monthly active users, shows that other modelsparticularly those based on payments and commercecan support massive digital businesses. On WeChat services are underpinned by its mobile payments system, WeChat Pay. Because payment is already tied into the messaging service, people can easily order meal deliveries, book hotels, hail ride-sharing cars and pay their bills. WeChat Pay itself has 900 million monthly active users. People also use WeChat Pay to transfer money and to buy personal finance products. More than 100 million customers have purchased WeChats personal finance products, which managed over 500 billion yuan, or $74 billion, by the end of last September, Tencent has said. Its users can buy everything from bonds and insurance to money market funds through the appFacebook lacks such a payment system.

DWhen I was younger, I thought science would make good things for everybody. It was obviously useful. But then during the War I worked on the atomic bomb. This result of science was obviously very seriousit represented the destruction of people and it put our future at riskI had to ask myself, Is there some evil （罪恶）involved n science? What is the value of the science I had long devoted myself tothe thing I had lovedwhen I saw what terrible things it could do?It is a responsibility to consider the value of science itself. The first way in which science is of value is familiar to everyone: scientific knowledge enables us to do and make all kinds of things. Of course, if we make good things. Scientific knowledge is an enabling power to do either good or badbut it does not carry instructions on how to apply it. Such power has obvious value; however, the power may be decided by what one does with it. Our responsibility is to do what we should to improve the solutions and pass them on. Another value of science is the intellectual enjoyment it can provide us with. When we look at any question deeply enough, we feel the excitement and mystery coming to us again and again. With more knowledge comes a deeper, more wonderful mystery, inspiring one to look deeper still. Never concerned that the answer may let us down, with pleasure and confidence we urn over each new stone to find unimagined strangeness leading on to more wonderful questions and mysteries. Thanks to the scientific effort, we have been led to imagine all sorts of things more fantastic than poets and dreamers of the past ever could. I would now like to turn to a third value that science has. The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance. When a scientist doesnt know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant When he has an idea as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty sure of what the result is going to be, he Is still in s
