Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s, to native (土著的) Americans, wolves often meant being brave.

However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. Whatever the reason, wolves were killed in many places. So many died that they almost became endangered. They also became known as bad animals.

To begin with, there is an expression lone wolf. If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn't a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself. In fact, he sometimes makes you think he doesn't want to be around people because he dislikes them.

Now, let’s move on to the home. Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food. In other words, the child eats too quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.

A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks. But a wolf call is not a nice thing. These men sound rude. And trust me, most women really hate wolf calls. So, they don't help a man in the game of love.

By the way, there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story: a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. It tells us not to be fooled by appearances.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二維碼). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使產生) 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 anywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans(掃描) 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.

Guo’s 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 Guo’s. “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 don’t 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, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

【1】According to the passage, Guo’s students can keep their homework on WeChat, can’t they?

【2】How can the QR codes be sent to Mr. Guo?

We can’t remember clearly since we started to take our mobiles to dinner table. This happens a lot,【1】(especial) when we eat out. Once a dish comes,【2】of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “l(fā)iked.” Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “l(fā)iked”【3】not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for simply a meal.

Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If【4】, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?

A recent study suggests that what we are used to【5】(do) is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were【6】(ask) to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a【7】, it showed that the【8】(many) photos they took, the less delicious the food【9】to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?

So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not【10】(take) photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time.
