A great new invention by a British student will help children who are overweight. It will also reduce the number of hours of television they watch every day. The technology is nicknamed “Square-Eyes”. It is a tiny, computerized sensor (感应器) that fits into children’s shoes. It measures the number of steps the child takes during the day and sends the information to the family computer. Software then tells the child how many hours of TV he or she can watch that evening. One hundred steps equal one minute of TV. If children use up all of their viewing time, they must do more walking.
The designer Gillian Swan says this will help children to include exercise in their daily life from an early age. Ten years ago, children were healthier because they played outside with their friends. But today’s children spend too much time in front of TV and don’t exercise. This means children have weight problems and become fat. “Square-Eyes” is a nickname often given to children who watch too much television. It may now have a new meaning. The new technology is the beginning of computers that become a part of our clothes. What we wear will soon monitor our health.
(1)“Square-Eyes” can help children who have _______ problems.
A.eyesight B.weight
C.feet D.walking
(2)Where can we find “Square-Eyes” on children?
A.In children’s pockets.
B.In children’s head.
C.In children’s shoes.
D.In children’s schoolbags.
(3)If Jimmy wants to watch TV for twenty minutes, he should walk _______ steps.
A.twenty B.two hundred
C.two thousand D.twenty thousand
(4)What does the underlined word “monitor” mean in Chinese?
A.执行 B.促进
C.影响 D.监控
(5)What’s the purpose of this invention?
A.To help children take more exercise.
B.To prevent children from getting up late in the morning.
C.To encourage children to play outside with their friends.
D.To help children sleep well.

Having good etiquette at the workplace is very important to be a favourite in an office. However, it’s observed that many people aren’t aware of workplace etiquette and this creates a very bad impression in the office. So it’s important to know some workplace etiquette tips.
Among all the workplace etiquette guidelines, the most important is to be punctual. Though going late due to an emergency is okay, habitual latecomers are never appreciated in any organization. Arriving at your office on time shows that you’re aware of your responsibilities and have respect for the organization. In case you feel that you would be late, call and report the matter to the concerned authority.
Also, a proper knowledge of workplace email etiquette is a must. In the official emails, you need to mention the subject concisely, and at the same time include all the important details which are to be shared. You should use good and grammatically correct language while writing emails.
Knowledge of telephone etiquette in the workplace is very important as well. While talking on the telephone, be polite and listen to what they’re saying carefully. Only then should you say what you feel. Speak in a voice which would be heard clearly at the other end.
The workplace guidelines are important even while you’re dining or celebrating with your co-workers. If you get a call in between, receive it after you’re permitted by the others by saying “excuse me”. Don’t talk loudly while eating. Greet people well and try to make them feel comfortable.

Do you know how to make friends? I think that two tips are very important. One is to be friendly to your friends, and the other is having common hobbies. Now let me tell you the story between my friend and me.
My best friend is Angel. We have the same hobbies—both of us like eating delicious food and learning about Chinese traditional culture. Last winter, we played together in the snow. We made a snowman like a big white rabbit. It was cute and we smiled happily. Then we talked about Chinese traditional culture. I thought she was good at writing and singing. I am good at them, too. So we became good friends since then.
A good friend is like a mirror. And you can talk about many things with your friends. All in all, I hope our friendship can last forever.

Community service means doing volunteer jobs for the public. It teaches valuable lessons about the duties of a citizen. Today, in the United States, important services are provided through thousands of organisations created to meet needs not provided by the government at the local, state, or national levels. These activities help to create a sense of great care for the public.
There are close connections between community service programs and civic (公民的) education in schools. At every level of school, students can participate in community service projects. In the primary grades, one of the purposes for students is to learn basic civic values that include fair play, respect for the opinions of others, and the rights and duties of a citizen in our society. By taking part in community service programs, very young children can learn how to solve problems, work in groups as leaders or group members, and accept the duties of their decisions and actions. Besides, children develop knowledge of their community----its leaders, organisations, social groups, and standards of civic behaviour.
Community service programs can provide the chances for students to learn social study skills. These include higher-level processes and skills of information collecting, critical thinking, and decision making. Community service programs also teach processes and skills for group discussions, leadership and teamwork. Through community service programs, children can learn how people play roles in a discussion to work out the local problems. Students can volunteer to teach young children in child care centers or help in senior citizen centers.
(1)From the passage, we know _______ play a main role in community service.
A.the adult citizens
B.the volunteer organisations
