An Australian zoologist(动物学家) brought two monkeys from Amazon. One was very strong; the other was a little weak. He put them in two cages（笼子）,feeding them carefully and watching their living habits every day. A year later, to his surprise, the big monkey died with no reason. In order to research, he had another brought from Brazil. This one was bigger than the dead one, but it died in less than half a year. In order to make sure of the reason, he dissected(解剖）their bodies, but could not find out the reason of death from the beginning to the end.

After that, he returned to Amazon and made research about those monkeys there. It showed that every big and strong monkey has quite good relationships with others. When other monkeys get food, they always can share a piece. But this kind of monkeys are seldom able to keep their cool. They will jump here and there when free, playing with each other. However, once they have been caught, few can live for a year. While those monkeys who are good at staying in the sunlight and refreshing(使......恢复) their spirit by closing their eyes are different because they don’t get on well with others, few of those monkeys can share the others’ food. This kind of monkeys grows smaller and weaker; however, they can live longer after they are caught.

The zoologist later concluded(做结论) that , for monkeys, the life short of communications is a defect( 缺失）while the life short of being alone is a disaster(灾难).

Such is the world of monkeys. Isn’t it the same in the human world?

1.The first strong monkey’s death made this Canadian zoologist amazed.

2.The second strong monkey from Amazon died in less than half a month.

3.From the research the zoologist found that strong monkeys have better communication than weak ones.

4.Weak monkeys live longer because they do not need others very much.

5.From the passage we know that learning to live alone sometimes is more important than communication.

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 the codes, and in the end every one of us could create them easily,” said Mr. Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep it 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 Mr. Guo scans (扫描) 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(创造). 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 on computers 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 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.

When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale. There are labels( 标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of the clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin(损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time. Many clothes today must be dry -cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive.

When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry-cleaned. To save money, you can buy hand-washed clothes. Besides, you can also buy well-made clothes. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.
