It's the end of class.When the bell rings,students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones.They want to log on to their micro blogs to check theinteresting things that have happened in the last hour.
Since several years ago,the Trend（潮流）of micro blogging has swept the country.Recent surveys show that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day.
"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class,"said Andy Liang,14."If you do not know about them,you are out of the loop."
It is also a great place for students to let out stress."My parents always ask me to study hard and encourage me before exams,but it really adds pressure,"said Simon Zhang,15."When I share these feelings on my micro blog,I get many replies from friends in the same situation,which makes me feel better."
But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time."Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids,"they said.
Mr.Shen,a professor at the China Education Association,suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging.Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children.
"If parents can read their children's micro blogs,they'll know their thoughts,thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems,"he said.He also gives some tips for kids.
*Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.
*Never micro blog in class.
*Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
*Be critical（批判性的）.Don't trust all the messages on micro blog.

Are Frozen Fruits and Vegetables Less Healthy Than Fresh Fruits and Vegetables?
I am happy to report that this is not mon sense might lead us to believe that fresh
fruits and v76would be far more nutritious（有营养的）than their frozen ones.Although this is generally accepted,did you know that fresh produce is p77,boxed,often transported over long distances and then left to sit on store shelves for up to several weeks?The time lapse（间隔时）between picking fresh produce and purchasing them at stores can make them
l78some of their nutritional value（营养价值）as they are put into light and air.Both taste and nutrition（营养may also become worse.
B getting to the freezer,frozen fruits and vegetables are first picked,they are quickly blanched（用沸水速煮）and immediately frozen and packaged,generally when nutrient levels are at their highest.So frozen fruits and vegetables are processed（加工）at their peak，in terms of freshness and nutrition.This means that the vitamins and nutrients are w kept until the next time the package is opened.
The U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)and the International Food Information Council（IFIC）both report that nutrients in produce are generally NOT lost during freezing(and canning)and they provide the same essential nutrients and health benefits as fresh.Abonus（额外的好处）of going frozen is that its'often less expensive than their fresh ones.
D.Answer the questions.（根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
Hi Brad,
I'm a15-year-old girl and some of the boys are calling me names in school.I get so angry that either cry or hurt myself.Today pierced（刺）my finger with pen and made myself bleed for about half an hour.It really hurts but it's the only way I can get off my anger.I'm not the type of person who likes to talk to people about these things,but what should I do?
Nancy
Hi Nancy,
Thank you for writing to me.I enjoy getting letters from students in China and I'll be happy to exchange letters with you.
The first thing I want to tell you is that if the boys are calling you names,it is their fault,not yours.Boys,at your age,are different from girls.They are trying to prove that they are manly b picking on someone who can't really fight back.This is,of course,wrong but it happens and it is generally called bullying（欺负）.In general,the boys know they are bigger and stronger than you so they can make you cry and then laugh about it.If you let them see that they are hurting you, they will only co it more.It isn't that they want to hurt you;they simply want to make themselves feel superior（强大的）.It's stupid but it's'very common.
In English,we say"Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. Canadian children learn this from their mothers because the same thing that is happening to you in China also happens here.The best way of getting the boys to stop calling you names is to simply ignore them,knowing that the names can't hurt you and that the boys are being stupid.If you can laugh at them,they will get tired of trying to make you cry and they'll give up.It won't be easy but,trust me,it will work.There is also something else that you are growing up and the boys are beginning to notice you as a young woman.I guess some of them actually like you and are making fun of you just to get your attention.Again,it's stupid but it happens.In reality you can control this situation by not letting them see you getting ugh at them,tell them they're acting like
children and they should grow up and then walk away with your head held high.
One more thing,Nancy.It is important for you to stop hurting yourself.If someone else hurts you,it is bad enough but you shouldn't make it worse by then hurting yourself.The next time you are frustrated（灰心丧气）by those stupid boys,write to me.You and can talk about anything you like;about China,about Canada,about travel,anything.Having a conversation with me is better than sticking holes in your fingers,at least hope it is.
I wish you all the best and I hope to hear from you again soon.If you get a chance,please
send me your picture.
Best wishes,Brad
