The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans (掃描) 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 leaning 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. 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.

______ Nearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t read. In the World Book Day survey, Dreams from My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and different writers, which people have lied about. As I don’t lie very often, I’ll admit (承認(rèn)) that I haven’t read all the ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding.

When people were asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation went deeper!

The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which writers they really enjoy, they named J.K. Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King (ah, the big sellers). Forty-one percent of people asked said they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.
So which books have you lied about reading-if any-and which is your favorite?

【1】Which of the following can be the missing part in Paragraph 2?

A.Do you know what a book liar is?

B.And it seems that that person is not the only one.

C.Dreams from My Father is really popular in the world.

【2】What does the World Book Day survey show?

A.Over 40% of people didn’t really read a whole book by famous writers.

B.People don’t like Dreams from My Father and 1984.

C.Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.

D.Many people like Charles Dickens better than J. K. Rowling.

Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the road, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop coming out. The old bucket felt very ashamed (慚愧的) because of its holes; before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏) along the road.

Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how helpful I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"

And all that the old bucket could say was, "I know I'm not very useful, but I can only do my best. I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”

One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said," You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the road.”

Then the two buckets did so. All along the road, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare(光禿禿的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

These months I was learning to let Max come_______ on his own. If I moved too quickly, he ran away. If I was patient, we often ended up playing, laughing, and recently, even sitting together on the sofa with a book.

“Who’s that?” he pointed to one photo.

“My mom. I suppose she is your grandma Sylvia.”

“Cool. Who is that to me?”

“That was my grandfather. He died a few months ago.”

“Hmm. Too bad he had to die.”

Death is always a painful(痛苦的) _______ especially for a seven-year-old child who lost his mother only two years before. I secretly put away the pictures of dead relatives.

He began to finger through the photos. “Who is that to me?”

Under his finger I could see my own face. I should have known the answer to his question. But I said, “I’m your_______ mom. I’m sorry that your first mom died.”

“What should I call you?” he asked.

Mom, I wanted to cry. I held back.

“You can call me Mom or Betsy, _______ feels OK for you.”

I waited, _______ my new title.

“Sweet.” He said, walking out of the room.

For a couple of days after that, Max _______ a new title for me. “Can we go bowling?” “Can I watch TV?” he would ask, and follow the questions by mouthing Mom, _______ the word Mom was always silent.

One weekend, he suddenly said, “I notice I don’t call you Mom.”

“I noticed that too.”

“_______ I say Betsy, I mean Mom. Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe __________ if you’re just Betsy.”

Tears(眼淚) were filling my eyes.

“Hey, Betsy?”

“Yeah,” I said, taking pleasure in the new announcement of my old name.
