   For those of you who haven't heard of it, the Apple Watch is designed by Apple Inc. Its sales began in April, 2015. As the name suggests, it is designed to tell us the time.
However, an Apple Watch is never just a watch. In fact, this watch is multifunctional. It not only shows us the time, but also acts as a fitness monitor（监测仪）and a messaging tool that can be connected with an iPhone.
Do you think it's a great invention? Don't you think the technology has gone too far?
Though the Apple Watch is cool in appearance, is it a good thing to be able to receive messages through a watch, or is this another way of letting technology destroy our social life?
Just imagine:A group of friends sitting at a table in a restaurant will ignore each other as everyone will be too busy reading a new message on their watches. Students will carefully check their messages in school, despite the fact that mobile phones aren't allowed in class...Although smartwatches may make communication through technology easier, it seems that it could actually influence face-to-face communication.
I do have to agree, however, the watch has some interesting and helpful functions. For example, it can be used to create and record sporting activities. This could be of special interest to sports fans. While there are clearly both good and bad things when it comes to this invention,I personally like my single-purpose watch that simply tells me the time! What about you? Would you be interested in having a smartwatch?
【小题1】Which is NOT mentioned about the Apple Watch according to the first paragraph?

A．The price.

B．The creator.

C．The functions.

D．The time when its sales began.

【小题2】What does the writer want to tell us by using the examples in the fourth paragraph?

A．People like the Apple Watch very much.

B．Smartwatches have an effect on face-to-face communication.

C．People are too busy with their work.

D．Students can behave better with the Apple Watch.

【小题3】What is the writer's opinion of the Apple Watch?

A．All the people should have an Apple Watch.

B．The Apple Watch can save people's money and time.

C．He would rather not have an Apple Watch.

D．The Apple Watch has more advantages.

Dear Mr. Smith，

I have learnt the announcement that the summer camp would be held in Singapore in the Internet. I am interesting in it.

Therefore，having a rich knowledge of Chinese culture，I will make more people to know our splendid culture. More importantly，I have strong belief that I will broaden my mind by learning about their cultures.

I’d appreciate it whether I could be accepted and I will value the chance to improve yourself. Looking forward to your early reply.

   It is a hot summer day， and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings，and sometimes one causes the other， but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them.

When you are happy，unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy，you feel as if everything is against you. You may compensate for it by eating chocolate and sweets because this gives you pleasure，yet you still stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure，yet this does not make him happier，especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health.

The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created，changed， transformed and then destroyed. This is the normal state of things and no one can change it. If we stay still in a certain state， we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other hand，if we adapt to the environment，nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind.

The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them，the room will be empty，and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet，you will see that happiness comes from the inside.

【小题1】What does the underlined phrase “compensate for”in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

D．You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet.

【小题3】We can learn from the passage________.

A．happiness is more dependent on the five senses

B．pleasure sometimes arouses happiness

   Following Mo Yan's Nobel Prize , the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again. A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his novel full of Shanghai dialect.

Published in 2012, the 350,000-word Blossoms （Fan Hua） is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people. There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin's use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold.

"I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous in both language and form. I want to be special with my own language, " Jin told the Global Times.

In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis. He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks （引号）, showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben genre.

Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens rating the novel high for its unique use of dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech.

Jin said that he got the idea of writing the novel while chatting in an online forum where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories.

"I'd like to see more writers to follow my lead. It will enrich our literature and make it diverse," he said.
