As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a common phenomena in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study. Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones.

As anyone who freelances(做自由職業) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.
On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常飯)or by bringing your own lunch.
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.”
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.
1.Hoffice was started to ________.
A. change people’s attitude to work
B. provide a co-working space for free
C. improve people’s working conditions
D. encourage people to be more social
2.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. How people respond to Hoffice.
B. What Hoffice means to people.
C. What people share at Hoffice.
D. How a Hoffice day works.
3.Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they ________.
A. work longer than before
B. can’t be separated from each other
C. benefit a lot from the working style
D. expect more people to join them
4.What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?
A. It has been popular in many countries for many years.
B. It has created many new job opportunities.
C. It focus on not only environment but also human needs.
D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.

Soon enough, we will lose some of the most amazing sites on Earth!
The Great Barrier Reef---Rising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well. All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem. Coral are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise! These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving, but they will soon disappear!
Venice---Sprawing across(橫跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy, Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea. Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level. Lucky for us, however, Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.
Glacier(冰川)National Park---Glacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers, but by 2005 it only had about 27! Located in Montana, Canada, this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population. As temperatures rise, the glaciers and ice melt, which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.
The Amazon---The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans. Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land, fuel and materials, but rarely considers the consequences. These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!
What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations?!
1.According to the text, what is causing coral’s death?
A. Rising sea levels
B. Humans’ diving activities
C. Rising sea temperatures
D. The shrinkage(縮小)of their habitats
2.What can we infer from the part of “Venice”?
A. Venice is the only coastal city of Italy
B. Many places are in the risk of sinking below the sea level
C. Venice will never sink because of the protection of sea walls
D. Italy consists of hundreds of small islands in the Adriatic Sea
3.What can we learn about Glacier National Park from the text?
A. It covers a large area in Montana
B. It is covered by over 150 glaciers
C. Plant species and animals in it have died out
D. It doesn’t support any living thing for its cold
4.Which site’s shrinking reason differs from the other sites?
A. The Great Barrier Reef B. Venice
C. Glacier National Park D. The Amazon

I have always been interested in making things. When I was a child, I enjoyed drawing, but I also liked making things out of clay(粘土). I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery(制陶). I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay. I'm happy working by myself and being near my home. I don't like mass-produced(集體生產)things, because they are made by machines. I think crafts(手工藝) are very important and crafts-people make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money. I hope to become a full-time crafts-woman. This work-place is small, but I wish to move to a larger one next year.
1.From the passage we are sure that the writer is a _______.
A. student B. teacher C. man D. woman
2.The writer got into art school because of ______.
