On a cold day in early November 2015 I went outside to get our New York Times from the driveway and noticed a large cardboard box tied to the familiar blue bag. In the cardboard box was
a pair of Google cardboard goggles( 护 目 镜 ) for watching VR videos. Upon reading the
introductions, I downloaded (下载) the VR app and set up the Google cardboard goggles.
That Sunday, the app showed three pieces about the imaginary war damage. I remember very well standing in my kitchen with my wife and three children as we each took turns trying on the
goggles and watching the short VR video of an airdrop(空投) of food. I couldn't help shaking
while I looked around and saw people running to collect rice bags being dropped at my feet, which was so clear and seemed real.
It was a moment I will not forget, for in that moment I knew the future, my children's future, would look greatly different from what I had at that age. It must have been like the excitement my grandparents had when TV changed to color.
More importantly, I realized what effect these devices(设备) would have on my teaching.
That Monday I brought my pair of goggles in and a few pairs I borrowed from my neighbors to share the experience with my students. The purpose of the first lesson was pretty simple: to share this cool new experience with my students. The students were amazed and couldn't wait to use the goggles. And that was what I had expected

B. To explain why he loved using the devices.
C. To show the devices would change people's life. D. To show people liked to watch colourful things.
6. What did the author decide to do after using the goggles?
A. Sell the devices to his students.
B. Help his students learn about war.
C. Introduce the devices to his neighbors.

Halley’s Comet (哈雷彗星) appeared at the time of Mark Twain' s birth, making his arrival an even more special event. Twain said in 1909,“I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it.” Surprisingly enough, Mark Twain died
the day after it passed by earth a second time .

Mark Twain was a gifted writer, speaker and humorist whose own characters shone through his work. As his writing grew in popularity, he became a public character in America. As the young country grew in size but not in a cultural manner to the liking of the European people, it
became fashionable to criticize(批评)“the ugly American”. Twain travelled to Europe and made
the Europeans friendly to America with his wisdom(智慧) and humor.
Twain began his working life as a typesetter at a newspaper, worked as a printer, a riverboat pilot, and then turned to gold mining. When he failed to strike it rich, he turned to journalism and it was during that time that he wrote the short story that started his writing life, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras county.
Although Twain's life as a writer made him rich, his turn as a gentleman investor(投资者) did
much to make him impoverished. He lost a great deal of money earned by writing on different investments. Twain recovered financially with the help of a man named Henry Huttleson Rogers. Further success from book sales improved his financial health.

A. He saw Halley's Comet coming. B. He predicted his own death.

In Thailand, people use about eight plastic bags each day, almost 200 billion bags each year. As for causing ocean plastic pollution, Thailand is in the sixth place in the whole world. Thailand is waking up to the harmful effects of plastic pollution on our environment
A supermarket chain in northern Thailand is returning to natural materials for everyday packaging(包装) use, including banana leaves. At first sight, Rimping supermarket in Chiang Mai looks just like other supermarkets that use banana leaves to wrap(包裹) food across Thailand. However, it is unusual to see this traditional, biodegradable(可生物降解的) way used in a big way.
Rimping Supermarket says that it no longer provides plastic bags every Wednesday for customers upon entering the place. In the supermarket, something different can be seen on the goods shelves of fresh vegetables. Instead of plastic, fresh products are wrapped in banana leaves. The leaves are great for packaging and once the customer is done with the packaging, the leaves are biodegradable, greatly reducing the need for plastics.

“We have discussed our environmental programme for a long time in our company,” a manager of Rimping Supermarket said. “We tried other materials before, but banana leaves are our final choice since there are plenty of banana leaves in Thailand. But the difficulty is to find a way to keep the products fresh. Some vegetables are not suitable to be wrapped in banana leaves as it becomes too wet and doesn’t keep its freshness,” the manager said .
Rimping Supermarket's store programme can be seen as a huge step for a greener, plastic-free earth.

As a teenager, convincing yourself to stay away from electronics to plant a garden might not be an easy task. 16 This is because whether you have the yard space to grow a garden or there are community gardens in your area, getting yourself involved has several benefits.
For example, caring for plants helps you develop responsibility. Also you can gain a sense of accomplishment and self•confidence as you raise them from small sprouts (苗芽)up through full blooming (盛开的) beauties. What's more, gardening has been shown to reduce stress and
depression. 17
In addition, outdoor time promotes exercise. Gardening offers fresh air, sunshine, and exercise, even to the teen who generally avoids physical activity. 18 So you may actually enjoy growing potatoes, or any other kinds of plants, for these benefits.
19 If you're looking for a new way that doesn't involve arguing to bond with your
family, consider plants. You can have a good family time by taking care of plants together in your family garden.
Finally, growing food can encourage healthier eating habits. 20 Tasting the fruits
through your own efforts also inspires you to eat more of the items you grow yourself. What's more, a backyard garden is also an excellent way for you to ensure that what you eat is organic (有 机的)．
