15、To me, the idea of home changes along with my age all the time.
In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to appear in front of my parents right after school. Instead, I often went to play with my classmates who lived in my neighborhood. We played until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper.”
Very soon, my childhood was gone. When I grew into a young man from a boy. Home became a place I tried to run away from.
As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before. The bed I used to sleep in became too small. And words of care from my parents became meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I joined the army and put on my own green uniform. Home was the series of letters I received one after another.
When I got a job, I began to get ‘hurt’, to rise and fall in the sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house

16、I am Tara Subra. I love my smartphone. But everywhere you look, people are glued to their screens. And we are all missing out on chances to notice and enjoy the world around us.
This smartphone addiction(成瘾) is seriously affecting our ability to focus. I can’t even watch a movie without checking my phone, which means nothing ever receives my full attention. That’s scary, especially in a school. I’m afraid it changes my work and how well I learn.
My name is Alex Hager. Smarphones encourage us to think more and give us a lot of information. Say you’re with your friends and they are discussing a certain event you know nothing about. You can use your phone to learn about it, and then share that conversation.
Smarphones are also a way to find people who have the same interests and goals. For example, I love making YouTube videos, but nobody at my school does. So my phone allows me to connect with other YouTubes and learn from them.
That’s why I want you to pick up your phone, search for a person who’s talking about something you love, and start a conversation. Your world will get bigger-straight from your palm(手掌) of your hand.
1．Why can’t Tara Subra watch a movie without checking her phone?

17、Silk production has a long history and colourful history unknown to most people. Scientific discoveries have shown that silk production began in China around 2,500 B．C．, although it could be much older. For hundreds of years, China kept the secret of silk to itself as one for the most closely protected secrets in history. Anyone telling the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was punished in prison.
At one time silk was served only for the Chinese emperor. Step by step, others began wearing silk. In addition to being used for clothing, silk was used to make musical instruments, fishing lines, ropes and even paper. During the Han Dynasty silk became a form of money.
However, the Chinese finally lost their monopoly(垄断) on silk production. It reached Korea in around 200 B．C．when some Chinese people arrived there. Silk production came to India in 300 A．D．In 500 A．D．, silk production came to Europe when travelers smuggled(偷运) out silkworms in empty pipes of bamboo. These were used to set up silk factories in Rome, although Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.
Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road. There were actually two Silk Roads, one over land and one on the sea. Especially the land route had a huge effect in history. All sorts of trade goods were passed along this road. Ideas travelled the Silk Road, too. For example, the religion of Buddhism(佛教) was carried to China from India by traders on the Silk Road. The Silk Road created the first international culture, showing many people the ideas and treasures of both Western and Chinese cultures.

18、Some people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skil
