Zhang Ming,    a college graduate from Shandong, created    a 9-page “WeChat guide”. With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide    e 81 how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology,” he said.
Zhang’s experience is c82 nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from
their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2017.
Parents u 83 to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.
The c 84 of the roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other
forms of media give children ways to get information    b 85 from asking older generations. Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do.
According to the China Internet Network Information Center, 56.7 percent of Internet users and
67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generation
u 86 acts as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their
parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.
In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him c87 to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out?” said Zhang.

Grades are important, but they are not the only measure.
I have come to understand that exam grades are not the only purpose of schools, and grades a
81 are not enough.
Studies show that some of the high-flying students have troubled lives, finding it difficult to get
good jobs or become great parents or partners. A 82 graduation, students come to realize what
they have learned at school has not really prepared them for the next step.
Increasingly, teachers are getting to know the idea of “learning from our failures.” If you’v failed at anything, you’ve certainly never t83 anything new. Exam grades are important and we
84
encourage all students to aim high and to do well. But they don’t m
success.
I once asked my students to consider the chef Gordon Ramsay, and how he became so
successful. They were surprised to find that he didn’t have a good performance at school and he
didn’t s85 become a great chef. In an interview, he explained that he worked long hours for very
little money, learning everything he could. He took chances even if they seemed i 86  . He made
mistakes but he cheered himself up and moved forward. His success didn’t come from grades, it
came from his character: courage, effort and confidence.
We should develop social skills through the whole school as an important p 87 of learning.
This is why there is a focus on performance, sport and other activities. These life skills will work
hand-in-hand with knowledge to enable students to do well in their future life.

I still remember my first 10,000m race. That was an unforgettable experience. I was not good at
running. I was not strong enough, either. Why did I take part in the race? That's because of my
volunteer work. When I was 14 years old, I volunteered to work at
the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to pass out water to
the runners. I felt e 81 when I saw all the different kinds of
people pass by and take a cup of water hurriedly. Some ran past,
some walked past and a few wheeled past. After seeing so many t
82 of people do it, I thought maybe I could also do it. So the next
year I signed up for the race.
During the race, I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Sometimes I was even not sure i
83 I could finish. Then came an important moment.
At one point near the end, an old man ran past me, very, very fast. Therefore, I was
embarrassed because I was much younger than him, but I couldn’t keep up with him. I felt hopeless
for a second. But then I r 84 something. He was running his race and I was running my race.
He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had m 85  . Remember my
goal was only to finish.
I learned something important at that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration (鼓
舞). I decided that I would not give up though many people ran past me. As I c 86 the finish line,
I was proud of my success.
In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves with others. It’s only n
87 . Don’t a llow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into motivation (动力) and let them
inspire you.

There’s no place like home
ust like the ones in Some people dream of having a home ‘ｊ
decorating magazines’. T hat sort of beautifully stylish home may be n
81 , but for a truly special place to live, why not choose    a home
unlike any other in the neighbourhood? The unique(独一无二的)
houses on these pages challenge people to reconsider what a home is s 82 to look like.
Environmentally friendly homes are getting    a lot of a 83 these days. Earthships, for
example, are unusual homes made from materials like mud, straw and reused wood. The designers
of earthships combine these natural materials with recycled i 84 , such as bottles, cans and old
tyres. These homes show their belief that, when it comes to saving the environment, ‘if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.’
Additionally many of these homes use wind or solar power. They are designed to collect and
recycle water, and the people who live in them often add a greenhouse in which to grow food. As a
result, if you live in an earthship, your monthly living costs will d 85 to almost zero. For people
who want to try one out, the Phoenix Earthship in the US is available as holiday accommodation(住
宿).
Shipping containers are now being reused to make    a 86 type of
environmentally friendly home. A number of architects have started changing individual containers
into holiday homes. Alternatively they can be combined to make office blocks and blocks of flats,
such as those Container City in London, England.
With all of the examples of imaginative homes, it is clear that people no longer need to settle for
ordinary living spaces. One thing is sure: people living in homes that look as s 87 as these never
have to give anyone their address. They can just say, ‘Look for the weird house. You will know it
when you see it.’

Something changed    a few years ago. Around 2012, teens started to spend their time much
differently from the generations before. I started to notice big differences in teens’ b___81___ and attitudes in the yearly survey of 11 million young people.
A 2017 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iphone. For this reason, Icall
them iGen（iphone generation）.
What makes iGen different?
Growing up with a smart phone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so
much time on the internet, texting friends and on social media, an average of about six hours per day,
so they have less free time for everything else. That i___82___ going to parties, shopping at the mall
or watching movies with their friends. These were o___83___ the favorite activities of most teens.
But now iGen teens are taking part in these social activities at a lower rate than others.
A link that should be noticed
I wondered if these changes might be c___84___ to their deteriorating（退化）mental health. Sure
enough, I found that teens who spend more time on screens are less happy and more disappointed.
Meanwhile, a 2017 study asked some adults to give up Facebook for a week and others to continue
using it. Those who gave up Facebook felt happier, less l___85__ and less disappointed during the
week as they had more free time for social activities like meeting friends, watching movies, etc.
What else is lost?
Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social abilities. A 2016 study showed
that the sixth graders who spent just five days at    a camp w___86___ using screens ended time
better at reading expression on others ’ faces.
That isn ’t to say that iGen teens don ’t have a___87___. They are physically safer and more tolerant
（宽容）. They also seem to have a stronger work spirit and more realistic expectations. T o my surprise, the iGen teens I interviewed said they preferred seeing their friends in person to communicating with them using their phones.
But it might be just what iGen needs.

Dear Dale,
My friend asked me to do somethi ng that ’s against the rules. I wanted to say
no, but I was afraid that she would get mad at me, so I did it anyway. Now she
wants me to do it a 81 . How can I tell her no?
Dear White Shirt,
We never want to disappoint our friends, but we
should never do things that we shouldn ’t do just to make others happy.
Throughout your life, you will probably be asked to do things that you don
’t think you shoul do. It sounds like you could have a problem saying no to people, but rather than be direct  (直接的), there are other ways to deal with this kind of s 82 .
Instead of simply saying “No ”, try to give reasons for your d
83 . For example, if a friend asked you to swim in the river but you didn
’t want to, you could say, “I don ’t thin wise. The water ’s very cold and there ’s
n 84 around to help us if we get into danger.”It ’s wrong of your friend to risk getting you into trouble. If she were a t
85 friend, she wouldn ’t ask you to break the rules. If she asks you to do something you don
’t want to next ti just explain to her w
86 you don ’t want to do it. You should never do anything that you
