Smartphone apps certainly make our lives easier. However, sometimes they can also cause problems.
Recently, the Ministry of Education announced that teachers should not use WeChat or QQ to give homework or ask parents to grade kids' homework.
Many teachers in China depend heavily on apps to give homework. The kids have to do their homework, staring at a phone screen. For example, Liu Yanming, a sixth-grade student in Shanghai, usually has to use his mother's mobile phone to do his homework. Liu Yong, his father, is afraid that the apps could distract kids by encouraging them to watch something unrelated to homework. "He is just 12 years old, and I do not want to buy him a cellphone," Liu told China Daily. "I also worry that my son's eyesight will be hurt because of staring at the phone for too long."
However, Bai Yueping, president of Shanghai Tangzhen Middle School, defended (辩解) using apps for homework, "Parents can understand their kids learning situation and supervise (监督) them to finish the homework," Bai told China Daily.
Zhang Siqi is a student from Renmin University of China. "The use of WeChat or QQ to give homework is convenient," Zhang told China Daily. “We're living in an Internet era. It’s unwise to refuse to take advantage of technology."
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, believed that it is impossible to stop the use of electronic devices in the Internet era. However, students should use them when it's necessary, such as when they do listening exercises. We don't want to stop online education models, but they must be used carefully. Modern technologies are good, but they should not steal the show (喧宾夺主)，”he told China Daily.

Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. The story started when my best friend. Tom Sawyer, and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day as interest.
Then a kind old lady called Widow (寡妇) Douglas invited me to live with her because I haven't got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was a violent (狂暴的) man,especially when he drank a lot, which was most of the time, and he often beat me. I was scared of him. I didn't go to school like the other boys of my age. I lived on the streets and in the woods.
My life changed after I lived with the widow. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought her black slave (奴隶) Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn't like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me.
Widow Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn't like going there at first because learning was very difficult.But when I could read and write a bit, I didn't mind going.

There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left heel! Pap!
"He's heard about my money," I thought. "And he wants it!"
That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit inside the ball that could answer people's questions about the future.

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new“out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have disappeared (消失) and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Experts say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport (交通). Transport in Britain is very expensive. For example, an early morning train trip from Glasgow to London about 600 km can cost about 100 pounds. A short 15 minutes' bus trip can cost over 10 pounds.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
