A

A teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, the UK, used two apples to show her students the damaging and often unseen consequences of bullying. And her post about the powerful lesson has gone viral.

Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she introduced two red apples to the children. What the kids didn't know was that prior to the lesson, Dutton had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect. “I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, and that I thought it was disgusting, it was a horrible colour and the stem was just too short，” Dutton wrote.

She then encouraged the students to do the same. Some of the children looked at her like she was “crazy”， but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling_it_names.

Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with comments like “Your skin is beautiful！” and “What a beautiful colour you are！”

Dutton then showed the students and both apples once again, highlighting that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”

That is, until she cut them open. “The apple we'd said unkind words to was bruised and all mushy inside，” she said.  There was, she said, an immediate “light bulb” moment for her students. “They really got it. What we saw inside that apple is what is happening inside everyone of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions.”

Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.

“Let's create a generation of kind caring children，” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”

(2018·重庆高三联考)Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?

There's no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days make them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role­play creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.

However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety advisor, Alan MacKenzie, thinks any people will just understandably think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that's in there. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.

Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.

Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.

So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn't just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, which side do you stand by?

A．Li Hua learnt many English words from playing games.

B．Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.

8．How does the author support his idea in Paragraph 4?

(2018·山东济宁期末)My name is Kate Lin. I'm a Chinese girl study in Spain now. When I first came here,  I had to learn Spanish quickly to adapt the new school life. Some friends suggested buying a television,  that turned out to be really good advices. At first, I didn't understand anything on TV. So I read an English newspaper on every day to know which was happening. Then little by little I begin to pick up the main ideas of the TV news. The best TV programs for learning Spanish were the game shows. I'd watched hundreds of it in the first few months. Because the same patterns were repeating again and again, I learned the rules of the language almost automatically.  Although my Spanish is pretty well now, I still watch them sometimes.
