Many foreigners like to read this newspaper. It is also popular with students. Sun Yao, a student in Beijing, said, “I like reading China Daily.

Hi! Welcome to my webpage. My name’s Tom Wood and I’m an English teacher. I【小题1】 (design) this webpage last week so that my students can learn more about me. I think it is important 【小题2】 (know) my students well. And it is fair 【小题3】 my students know me well, too.

I was born in London, England, but I’ve lived and worked in China for the past 15 years and I really like living here.

I can speak Putonghua and even a little bit of Cantonese, 【小题4】 is my wife’s dialect (方言). I practice 【小题5】 (speak) Chinese every day and my Chinese is improving. 【小题6】 (fortunate ) , there are many people in my town who are ready to help me with my Chinese! I particularly enjoy talking to my neighbors.

My favourite sport is football. I play football once a week with some of the other teachers at the school. We’re going to organize a 【小题7】 (compete) with teams of teachers from other schools this summer.

My other great love is my motorbike. I love getting on my motorbike and riding out to the countryside. But my wife thinks it’s too 【小题8】 (noise) and dangerous. If anyone wants to send me an email, just 【小题9】 (do) as you like. I’d love to hear 【小题10】 you.

   As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information an the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

   Smartphones have been blamed for everything from taking drivers’attention from driving to keeping people on the sofa scrolling (滚屏) videos. But the smartphone that seems to be everywhere could just easily increase physical activity if it pushes its owner’s buttons in the right way.

New research shows that making social connections (人际关系) through activity-tracking apps gets people to move more. And another study on the “Pokemon Go” phenomenon shows that the smartphone game got players to take thousands more steps than usual. Together, the studies show the potential (潜在性) of smartphones to push a range of people to be more active.

People who linked with friends on the activity-tracking app increase their steps by 400 a day on average, compared with people who made no social connections, according to Tim Althoff and two other computer scientists at Stanford University. Such opinions show the possibilities of smartphones and games to help with one of the most stubborn public health problems — that even people who want to be active have trouble staying active.

An NBA video game, for example, will give players extra powers in the game if they reach a step goal in real life. The app “Zomies, Run!” uses audio stories to push people to run more or run faster.

Still, there is room for growth: Only about 4% of all health apps use “gamification”, such as point- scoring or competition, according to a study published in October in BMJ Open. “Gamification is actually quite closely linked with behavior change techniques,” says Dr. Elizabeth Ann Edwards, the study’s lead author.

   With the development of modern science and technology，the functions of cellphones have changed greatly.【小题1】 The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them.Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year：

Surf at speed

Cellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years.So，what’s new？ Well，faster thirdgeneration (3G) networks that let you surf at anywhere.【小题2】 Possible choices are from IJG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150.Listen as you go.

【小题3】 There is no doubt that it is about to change.Sony Ericsson’s new W8001 can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory.And Samsung’s SPHV5400 even comes with a 1.5GB hard drive.Mobile phones may eventually replace mini MP3 players，especially for teens.

Camera cellphones are not new either but most of them have limitations： around 1­megapixel (百万像素).However new technology has made 2­megapixel units more common，and 3­megapixel units are showing up soon.Some 2­megapixel models，like Sony Ericsson’s K7501，offer limited zoom and focus controls.【小题4】 Portable TV.

You say you like “watching TV”？ That’s what Samsung MMA700 wants to give you.The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes for a fee.Other choices are Nokia’s 6620， Sanyo’s MM740 and NEC’s N940.【小题5】

The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months.Further down the road，your mobile phone may play a host of other roles，such as mobile credit card，position locator and so on.So what is there that a cellphone can’t do？
