It is increasingly popular for Chinese young people to share their experiences on Social

media(媒体), such as the "moments"'(朋友圈)on popular instant messaging service WeChat

“I have been reading ‘Jane Eyre’ for 40 days with 48, 000 words finished," Li Anqi said. Li has been sharing her reading experience on WeChat moments every day since January

Working in Yinchuan, capital of Northwest China’s Ningxia, Li wants to learn English very much, but cannot bare (摆脱) the daily grind(日常工作) of school lessons.

“I found many of my WeChat friends had been reading books or learning English on mobile reading apps, and I did not want to fall behind,” Li said.

In January, she spent more than 100 yuan purchasing( 购买) an online reading class at the Bohe Reading app, which tells customers they can: “Finish reading your first English book here.”

At the reading class, teachers assign reading homework and give instructions to 430 class

members every day.

A survey report released(发布) on Thursday said 70.9 percent of primary and middle students in China use the Wechat instant messaging App.

At the same time, 75.9 percent of Chinese children have their own mobile phones, according to China National Children’s Center.

The figures were based on a survey of nearly 9000 children across China.

However, 28.8 percent of them never read news online and 43.2 percent have never touched newspapers.

The center called for efforts to address the digital divide between urban and rural education and protect children’s privacy(隐私) as Internet users.

It came as a real shock(震惊) to find out that chickens could tell what color they were eating.

I picked up a package of mixed greens one day. I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver(递送) it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat!

My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain(谷物), and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats.

I emptied the bag of greens into the dog dish and stood back, as I usually do, to watch for a minute. I began to notice that the chickens were eating the green lettuce（莴苣）but were leaving the red leaves. I though it must be mistaken, but I didn’t have time to find out for sure right then.

When I went back a short time later, the dish was empty except for the red leaves. The chickens didn’t eat them with the red leaves. It took several hours, but they finally did eat it. I guess if they had their druthers(偏爱), they’d choose for green leaves only. Red leaves only satisfy in the absence of greens.

1.The word “girls”in the second paragraph means “________”

A. chickens B. greens C. colors

2.What was used to feed the chicken as the special treat?

A. A heavy feeder B. A big plastic dog dish C. A special plate

A. He often watches them eating for a while.

B. He usually offers some water for the chicken.

C. He often leaves first and then comes back to have a look.

4.How did the author feel when he found the chickens could tell the food color?

A. Very interesting B. Quite pleased C. very surprised

阅读短文，将文中划线部分译成汉语或英语。

You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. 61But this is not always easy__What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?

__If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to lean to live happily with them.

Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.

You need to remember an old saying, 63“Treat others how you want to be treated.” If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it.64现在，没有人要求你改变自己。 Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.

It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s life easier.65学会接受能力兴趣与自己不同的人。The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.
