I'm 53 years old.I had lived in Liverpool for twenty years and I need to take the No.43 bus from my home to the post office every Wednesday.However,it's service is not well.The bus only comes ever twenty minute.What made me angry was that happened last Wednesday,when it was such a terrible weather!I waited forty-five minutes in the cold and rain,so three empty double-deckers passed me without stopping.As a result,stand by the road,I had to wait another No.43 bus.I waved hardly and patiently to make the driver see me and stop.

The world could be one step closer to quick and inexpensive Ebola detection thanks to a teenager from Connecticut.

Olivia Hallisey, a junior at Greenwich High School, was awarded $50,000 in the Google Science Fair for her new method that detects Ebola, a virus that causes bleeding from different parts of the body and usually causes death. Olivia’s method is to ask patients to put their saliva (唾液) onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is catching Ebloa. Present Ebloa tests take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000. Olivia’s method, however, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25. Besides, the sample (樣本) doesn’t have to be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia uses to produce the testing cards.

Olivia was inspired to deal with this global problem after watching the news that more than 10,000 people died from Ebola in West Africa. She was particularly worried about the fact that, while the acts of involvement can improve survival rates, present detection methods are costly, time-consuming and require complex tools. Olivia got help from her science research teacher. She drew out directions from past research, and figured out detection systems that have proven to work with other diseases, including Lyme disease and yellow fever.

“What affects one country affects everyone,” Olivia told CNBC. “We have to work together to find answers to the huge challenges which cause harm to the global health.” The Connecticut’s teen, who hopes to become a doctor one day, was named the Google Science Fair winner in the competition of 20 competitors from across the globe. The fair is open to young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in most countries.

Olivia hopes her success will inspire other girls interested in science and computers. “I would just encourage girls to try it in the beginning, and remind them that they don’t have to feel naturally drawn or feel like they have a special talent for maths or science,” she told CNBC, “but just really look at something they are interested in and then think how to improve something or make it more enjoyable or relate it to their interests.”

One Sunday I tried a new lifestyle. I gave up the Internet, but even didn’t watch TV. I thought I would feel very boring. However, I had very different day. I wrote two article that morning. In the past, I always want to write one, but I didn’t have time. While I was separated from the net and TV, I could devote me to writing. I once read an article, what said that every morning the writer spent two hours wrote without the net. At that time, I thought up she was too strict. After I tried the method myself, I found it real worthwhile.

It's a question every socialmedia user faces after taking a great photo: Should I post this? Or is it going to come back to worry me? The questions get doubly complex when they involve children. A parent on average will post almost 1，000 photos of a child online before the child turns five, according to a recent survey. Are parents putting kids at risk by oversharing on social media?

Here are the selections of the views.

Lauren Apfel(US)

The big reason to share is to build a community. I live, for example, thousands of miles from my family. In this atmosphere of modern parenthood, we all struggle to make it through the day, and the Internet has become a source of support. In the early years of mothering twins, one of the things that brought me the most happiness was posting pictures of them on Facebook. Sharing those photos and engaging with an online community was a lifeline.

Dracarys(China)

I don't post pictures of my kids online because I don't like when friends of mine post photos of me online. It feels way too public and exhibitionist to me. So I treat my kids the way I want to be treated. That is probably what the parents who are comfortable with online photos think, too, when they decide to put the photos out there.

（寫作內(nèi)容）

1. 用約30個單詞寫出上文概要。

2. 用約120個單詞闡述你對家長在社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)上分享孩子照片的看法，并用2—3個理由或論據(jù)支撐你的理由。

（寫作要求）

1. 寫作過程中不能直接引用原文語句。

2. 作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實姓名和學(xué)校名稱。

3. 不必寫標(biāo)題

I have bought a robot who look as if he were a real person.I'm glad that he can do any things for us.He can do housework,making meals,help my son with his homework and accompany me to the shop.In a word,he brings much conveniences to our life.But at the same time,there are also some points which I feel worried.I wonder whether he will obey our orders if there is something wrong with it.And what should I do if my son has a robot do homework for him? Besides,I'm also afraid whether the robot will hurt my son if my son makes him be angry.

I thought with the development of technology,scientists will improve robots greatly.There is no doubt whether robots will help us a lot and be widely used in more and more areas.

The Torre Velasca

The Torre Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan(Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation(代表) of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower than the upper parts.

The Mirador Building

The Mirador Building in Madrid(Spain)was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect(建筑師)Blanca Lleó.The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular(矩形的)hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.

The Prague TV Tower

The Prague TV Tower is in Prague(the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty, so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn't fit in.

The Longaberger Basket Company

The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio(USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It's got seven floors and two handles(把手)at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it's certainly one of the most unusual.

【1】According to the text, the Torre Velasca________.

Dear Tom,

I’m happy to get from your letter and knew you’re coming to China.

Among the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are high recommended (推薦). Personally, I prefer the tour along the Yangtze, longest river and one of the mother river of Chinese civilization. You can learn a tot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river are amazing, with many well-know sightseeing spots. That’s because I think the trip along the Yangtze will be a better choice.

I hope your suggestion will be of some help and you’ll have a good time in China.

Yours,

Li Hua
