17．　　Technology (技术) is very important in our life today. Four students from Dublin tell us how they use technology in the city.

18．Live Small
　　In Europe and North America, the size (规模) of a family is getting smaller, but homes are not;in many countries they are getting bigger. Bigger homes are more expensive, and heating (加热) them in cold weather is bad for the environment (环境). Many people think ifs time to talk about the size of our homes. Sixteen-year-old Austin Hay is one of them.
　　Now, Austin is building a home on his parents' driveway (车道). It has everything important, like a washroom, a kitchen and a bedroom, but it's only 2. 4 meters wide and 3. 7 meters long.
　　"When I was a child, I wanted to build a tree house," Austin says. "But this house is on wheels (车轮), and that's cool!" Austin doesn't do any building during the weekdays — he's busy with homework and playing baseball. But he usually works hard on his house on the weekends. "Right now, I'm working on the doors. They're really easy, so my dad isn't helping me. He only helps with the difficult things."
　　Austin is sleeping in his little house this summer. There isn't a fireplace, so in the winter he'11 move back across the yard to his parents5 house. And in the future? "Going to college is very expensive in the US, but it'll be cheap (便宜的) for me because I can take my little house with me. I can live in it anywhere."

19．　　Giving gifts (presents) is a perfect way of showing how much you care for someone. People often give gifts during special times such as birthdays, graduations, and weddings. You can gift someone closest to you at any time of the year, even if there is nothing special to celebrate.
　　So, how do you choose a perfect gift for your loved one or a special friend? To find a right gift, you should do three things.
　　Know the Person's Interests
　　You should find out what the person (人) likes most and then buy those kinds of gifts. If they love books, you should learn about their favorite writers. If they love traveling, you can get some postcards. By buying something that reflects (反映) the person's interest, you can be sure they will like it, and this will help build the relationship.
　　Find Out if the Person Has a Problem
　　Gifts don't have to be flashy (奢华的) things. They can be something that the person needs the most. And since presents should be a surprise, don't ask your friends what they need. Listen to them carefully as they are likely to talk about a problem (问题) that they might be facing. Also, you can look around and find that area of life in which they might be facing a problem.
　　For example, a friend might be using an old pair of glasses. In such a case, you can find out more about the kind of glasses they wear, and then get them a new pair.
　　Give Them an Experience
　　Gifts don't have to be things you can touch. They can be experiences (经历) that the person would enjoy. Studies have found that a person remembers an experience more than things. For example, if a friend loves a music group, you can take him or her to one of their concerts. It will be a surprise and an experience that they will never forget.
　　In a word, you should always focus on (聚焦) finding the perfect gift. You can make the right choice by knowing a person's interests. This will help you choose exciting things that reflect what the person loves. You should also think about giving something that helps to solve the person's problem or choose to gift him or her an experience.

20．Snack Rules
　　You may grow up with a no-snacking mom. She always tells you that snacks (零食) are bad for your health because they can make you fat and hurt your teeth. Well, mom may be right about most things in our life, but she isn't right about all snacks. It is true that there is a healthy way to snack. In fact, snacking in the right way can make you healthier!The right snacks can be good for us! After having some snacks, you don't need to eat too much at dinner and in this way, they can stop you from getting fat. Now let me tell you some rules (规则) to snack.
　　The first rule about snacking is to make snacks by yourself. Do not buy snacks from the supermarket or food shops. Most of those snacks have too much sugar and salt in them.
　　The second rule about snacking is to eat things that take longer for your body to process. Our body can process bread and cakes quickly. Try to have some cheese or yogurt to go along with some bread, and you have got a winning snack.
　　The third rule about snacking is to remember water. For example, when you are working, maybe you are not hungry (饥饿的) but tired. What you should do is to have a break. Your body might just be trying to tell you to drink some water. Have some water before you take out another snack to eat. A short break and some water might be all you really need.
　　With one or two snack breaks during the day, you may find that you eat less (更少) at lunch and dinner. Smaller meals will help you to eat less food during your day. And eating less is a great way to start losing weight (减肥). So, why not have a try?

Winter Time
　　Winter is cold in some places. Many (1)             do not grow and some plants die. It is hard for animals (2)             food during winter.
　　But animals get it through in many ways.
　　Many animals like birds and butterflies do not stay at one place.
　　They fly to a place with fine weather. We call this migration (迁徙). That is (3)             to keep away from the cold.
　　Another good way to get away from the cold is to sleep through it. Many animals like snakes and frogs hide during the winter. They do not eat. They live on their (4)             until food returns. We call this hibernation (冬眠).
　　Some animals keep food in their homes. They live on what they have got in the summer and autumn.
　　Other animals do not leave or hide. Sometimes nature helps them out. Some animals grow thicker coats and others change color. The arctic fox is brown in the summer. His coat (5)             white in the winter.
　　Winter may be pretty. It is wonderful to see snow. But it is (6)             for people too. You can get frostbite (冻伤). How do you get through winter?

31．　　In Britain, children start school in their fifth year. The first class is known as reception and, for some children, it is a daunting (令人畏惧的) experience. Five-year olds love to move around, run and jump all day. However, when they are in a group of 20 or more, they have to learn to follow instructions (指令) from the teacher. Sitting down, listening and taking turns are new things to them.
　　Once a child is in the reception class, the first year is usually a very happy one. Lots of new skills are introduced. Group activities, socializing (社交) with the other children and learning to take turns, these are all part of the first-year experience.
　　As they paint, draw, bake and enjoy sand and water play, they talk with other children and language skills develop. When they have music and movement lessons or activities in a gym, they learn to control their body movements as they stop, roll﹣over, and slowly take steps. Children learn to work with others. In music class, they have to listen for a rhythm, try to copy it and join in singing simple songs.
　　Sitting down and listening to stories and answering questions about the story are also very important skills in a child's first year at school.
　　Breaks and play times during the school day are good for children. Running, catching, hiding, using balls and skipping ropes, falling over and getting back up, all help release pent-up energy (释放多余能量). On some playgrounds, there are lines and numbers on the ground. Children can jump along the lines and into spaces.
　　If a child doesn't go home for a meal at lunch time, the school provides hot and cold food in the dining hall. A child can also bring a lunch from home.
　　In primary schools, the mornings include number work, reading skills and recording. The afternoons are more creative (创造性的). Young children love dressing up in costumes and acting out adult situations. They have "pretend" tea parties, make little cakes from plasticine (橡皮泥) and pour cups of tea for others.
　　At the end of a busy day, young children go home with a parent and they are happy to talk about their day at school.
