As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicted to their phones, completely ignored others.

This is really a common phenomena in our life. The reason is why 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 involving in phones fail to communicate well with those around us.

As far as I concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help with their work and study. Meanwhile, they should also care more about their family and friends rather than phones.

   Thousands of Burbank students biked to school on Wednesday morning and the children at Community Day School were not going to miss out on the event.

With the help from two local bicycle enthusiast groups，the campus' 25 middle and high school students were able to pedal（骑）down the bikeway for a 10-mile morning bike ride.

Krohn, headmaster of the school，considered having her students participate in Walk/Bike to School Day. But when she found most of her students had no bicycles, she connected the Bike Angels, who donate （捐赠）bicycles to children in Burbank during the holidays.

“The bikes that the Bike Angels get are donated, but so many of them are broken,” said Ernie, one of Krohn's teachers, an eager cyclist with some knowledge of bike repairs. “So we made judgements about what needed to be done. ”

As word spread about their efforts, a member from the WalkBike volunteered to help Ernie, and some students also stepped up to help repair the bikes in time for the event.

One of Ernie's students, 16-year-old Jacob, volunteered on Saturdays to help fix bicycles for his classmates. “I had a bike with a broken tire that I wanted to use to come to school. I asked my teacher if he could help me fix bikes, he taught me everything, and later I started volunteering there. I just started loving fixing bikes. ” He added that he planned to continue volunteering with the Bike Angels to repair bicycles for the community.

Ernie said that the biking event ended up with more students participating in a nationwide event in the US.

   During all kinds of holidays, millions of people will buy gifts for loved ones, which is great - except that tons of those people will make the same glaring mistake, and buy the wrong gift.
Roughly 10 percent of gifts are returned each year and the percentage of unwanted gifts is surely higher given that nice people may not want to return presents.
What's going on?
Gift buying has become a tricky selfish action. We don't actually look for things people want to receive. Instead, we tend to look for things that we want to give. It's a subtle(微妙的), but pretty important problem. The research says so.
"Gift givers want to prove how well they know a person by choosing a thoughtful gift," said Mary Steffel, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati whose research has focused on gift-giving. "But people aren't very good at dealing with what others want ahead of time."
Research has shown that givers tend to value the gifts they buy considerably more than recipients. Gifts are valued roughly 10 to 33 percent less by recipients than what givers paid for them, Joel Waldfogel noted in a book on gift-giving.
The difference seems to come from a simple wrong belief that thoughtful presents are the best presents. They are not. In fact, they might just be the worst presents. The more thought you put into a present, the more likely you are to turn aside from buying what the person you' re buying the present for actually wants.
''Gift givers tend to focus on what people are like instead of what people actually would like," said Steffel.
In other words, people let their gift-giving minds get in the way of great presents, especially when the recipient is someone they want to show they know really well.
Fortunately, the answer to our common insistence on guessing what people want is simple: stop it.
"People want whatever it is they happen to want in the moment, which can be very specific,"Steffel said." You' re much better off asking people what they want."
"People tend to prefer gift cards to actual gifts," Steffel said. Steffel's latest research, which focuses on giving gift cards, points to exactly this point-that variety of gift's functions is the key to better gift-giving.
【小题1】The reason for masses of unwanted gifts is that ______.

E-business（电子商务）has changed the lives of people across the world. With fewer people 【小题1】（leave）home for shopping, physical stores are having a 【小题2】（difficult）time. It seems that one kind of physical store is not being hit-the convenience store.

Convenience store sales in 2016 in China increased by 13 percent 【小题3】（compare）with those of 2015, according to China Daily. There are now 【小题4】（near）100,000 convenience stores in China. And in Japan, there are 11,000 more convenience stores in 2017 than in 2010.

Why are these 24-hour stores with 【小题5】 average area of 110 square meters enjoying such rapid 【小题6】（develop）?

One of the most important 【小题7】（reason）is that young people have grown into the habit of shopping at convenience stores, noted Convenience Store News. Convenience stores not only have everything for daily use, but also have fresh food like sushi, bread and salads, 【小题8】 are all quite popular among young people.

What's more, different 【小题9】 supermarkets, many convenience stores sell things they make themselves, like bread and cakes. As these products can only 【小题10】（find） in these stores, many people go there just to buy them.

   Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand different.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the "dream job" of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or "vlogger". The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put vloggers as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.

This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting（交流）with their fans about everyday life.

However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame（名声）and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.

Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but that allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the

Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.

【小题1】Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?

A．Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.

B．There is too much competition in the traditional show business.

C．The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.

D．Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.

【小题2】What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

A．Only a few vloggers can be successful.

B．A vlogger cannot earn fame or fortune.

C．Being a vlogger is not a good career.

D．Dreams will come true one day.

【小题3】What do some young people like David do on the Internet?

A．Learn from others.

B．Become an online hit.

C．Hold running races.

D．Mix jobs with hobbies.

【小题4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their jobs based on their hobbies.

B．The Internet is influencing young Britons' career choice.

C．The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.

D．Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.
