He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码), We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生） the codes, and in the end everything gets easier. Said Guo. When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans(扫描) his students QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.Guos students like the new way and think it is interesting. We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun. said Tingting, a student of Guos.The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share. Guo said. It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I dont want my students to fall behind the times.However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, its unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesnt take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students work at any time. And its also an easy way to share homework with other students.26 .

As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back, traveling east you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific (太平洋), you cross the international date line (国际日期变更线).

If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries. They found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And dont forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one.35 .

The event is to draw attention to the disappearance of the worlds languages：dozens of them are vanishing each year. UNESCO sees this as a tragedy（悲剧）, and with good reason.What happens when a language dies out? Something huge is lostnot just sounds and marks but the way that people make sense of the world and communicate with each other. And it is through language that we have culture and tradition. Kill a language and all this is killed too.Through IMLD, more people are becoming aware of the destruction of linguistic（语言学的）diversity in modern times and trying to stop it. Googles 2012 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. Speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload text, audio and video files to the project site. They want to introduce people to the wonders of the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.The Myaamia Project is a similar kind of effort. This is an attempt to revive（重新使用）the language spoken by the Miami and Illinois tribes（部落）of the US. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which formally died out in the 1960s.These activities, which breathe life into languages on the verge（边缘）of extinction, might seem old-fashioned to some. But those who work to keep languages alive are not enslaved（束缚）to the past. They are enthusiastic young people who design apps and use social media to champion their activities. As the US-based social event calendar website Upcoming puts it, they“spread the word to save the word.So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling for our mother tongue, although those of us who speak one that is not endangered might not always be aware of it. This is why we should recall（回忆）the wise words of the late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela：“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”42 . When is International Mother Language Day?43 . What happens when a language dies out?44 . What is Googles 2012 Endangered Languages Project?45 . What can we know from Paragraph 5?46 . Why did the author mention Nelson Mandelas words?五、话题作文47 . 随着网络的发展及网上课程的开设，有人建议中学生从此不必进入学校学习各门课程，只需要在网络上进行学习，该建议在你班同学中引起了热议。在今天的口语课上，老师组织大家对此发表自己的看法。请你根据表格中的提示信息用英语写一篇短文介绍讨论情况并谈谈你的看法。Study on the Internet or at schoolStudy on the Internetchoose to study whatever they are interested in.learn at any time and at any placeStudy at schoolcommunicate with teachers face to face.make friends easilyYour opinions要求：1内容就包括表格中所有的提示信息，可适当发挥；280词左右，短文开头已给出，不计入总词数。With the development of the Internet, some people think students just need to learn online instead of going to school every day.
