My 100 Days Without a Mobile PhoneWhen was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time?As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的).One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me.However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved.I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.1．What made the writer check the phone more often than before?2．When did the writer start noticing his changes?3．What does the writer plan to do with his phone after the experiment?4．Would you like to follow the writer’s example? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.)（2022·北京·统考中考真题）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

The bottle was one of the thousands thrown into oceans as part of a 69-year-long German experiment on global currents (洋流) to find faster shipping routes.Until now, the previous world record for the oldest message in a bottle was 108 years, 4 months and 18 days from the time it was cast until its discovery.Illman found the bottle near her son’s car in the beach’s soft sand.“I was walking across when I saw something sticking out of the sand, so I went to take a closer look,” Illman was quoted as saying.“It just looked like a lovely old bottle, so I picked it up thinking it might look good in my bookcase.

We took it home and dried it out, and when we opened it, we saw it was in German, with very faint German handwriting on it.”The Illmans took their find to the local museum which established that the bottle was a 19th Century Dutch gin bottle, and the German ship Paula sailed from Cardiff to Makassar (Indonesia) in 1886.1.

人们还在树上刻标记以指明路线，用堆石头表示 方向或边界。在有文字以前的社会中，人类把表达深 远意义的装饰性图案做在陶器、编织物、雕刻和其他 简陋的日常用品上。 烽烟和旗鼓曾是古代远距离传播的重要媒介，烽 烟用于示警，旗鼓用于指挥进退。中国的《孙子兵法》 所说的“言不相闻，故为金鼓；视不相见，故为旌 旗”，指的就是这种情况。尽管有这些媒介，文字出 现前人类超越面对面传播的能力还是极为有限。人类 除了木头、树皮、兽皮或石头上的那些图画以外几乎 没有跨越时间的东西。视力、听力和气象条件限制了 他们远距离传播的能力。如当时的人们只能在白天有 利的天气条件下看到远方的烟火信号。

杂货铺与旧杯子的童话作文
杂货铺与旧杯子的童话作文英文回答：In a quaint little town nestled amidst rolling hillsand whispering willows, there stood an unassuming杂货铺,its aging façade bearing witness to countless stories. Within its dim interior, amidst the shelves lined withdusty curios and forgotten trinkets, lay a solitary old cup.The cup was no ordinary vessel. Its chipped enamel and faded patterns hinted at a rich history, a silent observerof countless dramas that had unfolded within those walls. Once, it had been the cherished possession of a young woman, its delicate rim graced by her trembling fingers as she sipped fragrant tea on lazy afternoons. Another time, ithad served as a makeshift home for a lost child, its warm embrace providing solace amidst the swirling chaos of the outside world.As the years passed, the杂货铺 changed hands, itswares replaced by newer, more modern items. Yet, the old cup remained, a forgotten relic of a bygone era. Some dismissed it as mere clutter, destined to gather dust until its inevitable end. Others, however, saw in it a timeless charm, a vessel that whispered tales of lives lived and memories shared.One day, a young woman named Anya wandered into the杂货铺, her eyes scanning the shelves in search of a gift for her ailing grandmother. Amidst the rows of knick-knacks, her gaze was drawn to the unassuming old cup. Intrigued by its weathered appearance and the faint scent of nostalgia that seemed to cling to it, she picked it up and examinedit closely.As her fingers traced the faded patterns, Anya felt a surge of empathy for the cup. She imagined the countless hands that had held it, the stories it could tell if onlyit could speak. Overwhelmed by a sense of connection, she decided to purchase the cup, determined to give it a new lease on life.Anya took the old cup home and placed it on the nightstand next to her grandmother's bed. She filled it with fresh water and a sprig of lavender, hoping to create a sense of comfort and familiarity for her beloved elder. To her delight, her grandmother recognized the cup instantly, her frail hands reaching out to cradle it. Tears of joy streamed down her wrinkled face as she recounted stories of her own youth, when the cup had been a constant companion.From that day forward, the old cup became a cherished heirloom in Anya's family. It was passed down from generation to generation, each new owner adding their own stories to its rich tapestry. The chipped enamel and faded patterns became symbols of resilience and the enduring power of memory.And so, the杂货铺 and the old cup continued to exist side by side, their stories intertwined in the annals of time. The杂货铺 remained a repository of forgotten treasures, a sanctuary for those seeking solace in the remnants of the past. And the old cup, once relegated tothe shadows, became a symbol of connection, a reminder that even in the most ordinary of objects, there lies the extraordinary power to evoke memories, inspire hope, and bridge the generations.中文回答：在群山环抱、杨柳依依的一个古朴小镇上，坐落着一家其貌不扬的杂货铺，经历了无数沧桑的古老门脸见证着无数的故事。

假如你有个记忆的瓶子作文英文回答：Memory Bottle.I have a memory bottle. It is a special container that holds all the precious memories of my life. Whenever I open it, a rush of emotions and vivid images flood my mind, reminding me of the beautiful moments I have experienced.Inside the memory bottle, there are countless memories that I hold dear. For instance, one memory that stands out is the time I went on a road trip with my friends. We drove through scenic landscapes, sang our favorite songs at the top of our lungs, and laughed until our stomachs hurt. It was a carefree and joyful adventure that I will never forget.Another memory that I cherish is the day I graduated from college. The feeling of accomplishment and pride as Iwalked across the stage, wearing my graduation gown, is something that I will always hold close to my heart. It was a significant milestone in my life, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.The memory bottle also holds memories of love and friendship. I remember the first time I fell in love. The butterflies in my stomach, the nervous excitement, and the moments shared with that special someone are etched in my mind forever.

At first, I will summarize the main idea about this story, then I will share my opinions about the two protagonist, and finally, I will talk something about the meanings of true love which I learnt from this book.The book Message in a Bottle is a love novel written by Nicholas Sparks.It begins with a letter hidden in a bottle, writing about the love and loss someone to his wife, was picked up by a woman jogging nearby. To her curiosty of the writer,Theresa finally found out this man ,whose name was Garrett and was a ship repairman, and met him. Furthermore ,they spent some happy time together and estabished their friendship ,which turned into love not soon. However ,problems and pain acompanied at the same time, for Garrett was still grieving for his dead wife, Catherine, and was hestitated at Theresa’s love. He lost his life for saving a family shipwrecked during his journey to Theresa, going to tell her his decision to love once more after realizing what the true love is and writing his last letter to Catherine in which he finally acknowledged how much both these two women meant to him.It was a sad story ends up with a sorrow endding , even though it contained happyness and sweetness at the first beginning. On one hand, Garrett’s love to his wife moved me a lot, for its purity andsincerity ,as well as loyalty. On the other hand, however, what he did confuses me. Is this love a true love, both for his wife and himself ?In my opinion, It is uncomplete , for it lacks of the ablity to love once more and pass his love1onto others, just like passing the torch or the light. The ones whom we love and care about, did go away and will never come back anymore, but this doesn’t mean that they leave us in situ, grieving and unable to recover after a set-back, contrarily, we can send our lovejust as in the past, by missing, or by commemorating, both on the premise acknowledging their going away. And we also can send our love to people around us, beautify their lives and hearts. However, Garrett didn’t understand it, this short-spoken man lingered between his love to Catherine and to Theresa, and hestitated, had no idea to decide what to do, therefore, love tragedy did happen inevitably.Someone might say that it wasn’t his fault to their tragedy, it was the storm. Yes, to some extent, it is right. However, can anybody deny that his hestitation delayed his setting out to Theresa, and was one of the reasons for his encounter with a storm which eventually took his life away? Garrett’s death ,in a sense, teaches us to express our love in time.As for Theresa, I think she was a unwaving woman, with toughness beyong words and patience. She knew that she fell into love with this man in her first glance at the first letter in the bottle, even she had never known and met him. And her love never changed again, no matter what problems she met, and how tough she felt, she knew that she loved him, and that was it. When I was reading, I have thought more than once that If I were Theresa, I won’t insist on such a hard love, and willquit and love someone else. I am short of pantience and goal, I am not Theresa as she was, so I wo n’t get Garrett’s love predeterminately.It was these two person who had taught me what a true love reallyis , and brought me lots of heart-shakes at the same time.The first meaning of true love.Garrett and Theresa were fated. They began with a letter in bottle, andended up with another letter in bottle, though these were two different letters, they were both written to Garrett’s wife, Catherine. In other words , they came to know each other, made friends with each other, fell in love with each other, and even lost each other , were all on account of the letters in bottle. The lettlers in bottle had sawtheir story. All the story was short, no more than several months, but worth widely reading and recollecting. In this way , I learnt the first meaning of a true love, that is, trud love does’t care how long we love each other, but how deep we love.The second meaning of true love.In the novel, Garrett led a wateriness and boring life after his wife’s death, thi s state changed when Theresa broke into his daily life. They had spent a happy and sweet time, together with Garrett’s father Dodge and Theresa’s son Kevin. During that beautiful time, They hadever been intimate and closed to each other, enjoying the time sitting togother, knowing the most precious part of each other. But blissfulness didn’t stay long, conflicts came and took residence. With Theresa’scontinusous effort and constant love, Garrett ,he begins to shake off some of the cobwebs of loneliness and pain, and gradually admitted the importance Theresa to himself. As Anything unexpected may happen, therefore, everyone has his own pity. For Garrett,his pity was too late to tell Theresa his love, and for Theresa, her pity was too late to hear the love spoken by Garrett.That was what I learnt from the second meaning of true love ,that we should love, and enjoy the love when we love , and should tell them our love as much as possible.The third meaning of true love.Garrett loved his wife, much more than we could feel, That was right.It was a grateful love,a deep but quiet love,one that he knew, above all else,was irreplaceable. He kept everything her owns intact, and even put them in the original way just as she never left. In every corner of the house, he could feel her existance, just like that she was being with him. Before meeting Theresa, his life has been an empty shell for the past two years. So, what about his feelings toward Theresa? He was amazed about her, wanted to get close to her, but at the same time, he was afraid of something, something that he didn’t know, something that he could’t take charge of. Maybe he was nervous of his betrayal to Catherine, maybe he thought he would hate himself if he react to Theresa’s love by betraying his w ife.However, as a reader ,my opinion differs from his. Just as wecan’t stop the earth keeping running, we can not avoid death. Although life has to end, love does n’t. The ones whom we love but pass away should not be the barriers on our processive road, or the obstacles toour continuing love. On the contrary, they should become the motives to encourage us to live better and love others whom love us. Lost love is still love, it takes a different form, for example , memory. To people who has gone, we keep our love by missing them, and to people who are still alive, we divert our original love onto them. That’s the third meaning of true love .。
加拿大某人在散步时捡到一个世纪前发出的瓶中信
加拿大某人在散步时捡到一个世纪前发出的瓶中信一名男子吊起大家的胃口激起了众怒，他捡到了世界上最古老的瓶中信，却拒绝打开。
这个墨绿色玻璃瓶子静静地躺在加拿大托菲诺(Tofino)帆船湾(Schooner's Cove)僻静的海滩上。
历经一个世纪的光阴行程1,115英里，这个密封瓶里破旧的字条总算迎来了一位读它的人。
周一早上，史蒂夫·瑟伯(Steve Thurber)沿着海滩散步看到了空旷的沙地中间的这个瓶子。
里边字条的署名者为威德拉伯爵(Earl Willard)，上面写着他坐船从旧金山出发前往华盛顿的贝林汉姆，已航行了76个小时，此刻他“寄出”了这封瓶中信。
假如按照轮船时间表的话，这段航行约需要10天到两个星期的时间。
从这封跨洋信抛向大海的那一刻起，就像开始了俄罗斯轮盘赌游戏一样，这位伯爵将永远无法知道这封信未来的命运。
瑟伯淡定地拒绝打开瓶子、决然地吊起大家的胃口，顿时世界人民“群情激愤”。
他下定决心原封不动地保存1906年9月29日封缄在里头的岁月，让字条的其余细节部分继续笼罩在神秘之中。
透过瓶盖生锈的瓶子可以读到——它入海的日期1906年9月29日和署名威德拉伯爵、威德拉伯爵的家庭地址、还写着他坐着一艘蒸汽机船从旧金山出发前往华盛顿，旅途进行到76个小时的时候他把漂流瓶抛向了大海。
透过瓶子可见到信封，写着地址和信寄出的地点里头的信还写了什么内容——瑟伯拒绝打开瓶子，浓浓的神秘弥漫开来……他说：“也许就是有个家伙一时兴起扔了个瓶子我又凑巧捡到，就是个十亿分之一概率机会的事情。
”“我认为这就是你碰巧找到了某人扔到水里的东西。
一百年以后一切都是虚幻，就这样留着它吧。
”加拿大当地许多看过新闻的人在网络上热议这个瓶中信，有人这样写：“到底写了什么啊？”也有人说：“他怎么憋得住不打开呢？”有人写道：“我希望能把瓶子打开看看，因为注定总有一天要公开内容的。
”算算到今天大约107个年头了——看来会它成为最古老的漂流瓶。

11 古人传递信息的故事烽火戏诸侯在2700多年前的西周后期,有一个昏庸无能的周幽王。
他为了讨宠妃褒姒的欢心,竟听从了一个大臣荒唐的建议,让士兵点燃边防线上烽火台的烽火。
各路诸侯看到烽火,以为有敌人入侵,火速率兵出击。
2[①从这里可以看出烽火具有怎样的作用?]后来发现平安无事,才知道上当受骗了。
褒姒见到各路诸侯如临大敌,率兵奔来跑去,一阵忙乱,不由得一笑。
褒姒笑了,周幽王高兴万分,给出主意的大臣以重赏。
3[②通过烽火戏诸侯,可以看出周幽王是个什么样的人?]不料后来敌军果真进犯京城,虽然周幽王及时派人点燃了烽火,然而诸侯们望见熊熊燃起的烽烟,却以为是周幽王故伎重演,个个按兵不动。
4[③周幽王的结局对我们有什么启示?]结果幽王被杀,褒姒被俘,西周从此灭亡。
段导读:第1自然段写周幽王昏庸,用烽火逗宠妃一笑,结果误己误国。

[⑤“一刻不停”一词删除可以吗?]菲迪皮茨跑到雅典就累死了。
他拼命跑了40多千米,只为了一个目的:传送“我们胜利了”的信息。
古书信传递作文
古书信传递作文English Answer:In ancient times, when there were no modern means of communication, people relied on letters to convey their thoughts and feelings to others. The art of letter writing was highly valued and considered a noble and sophisticated form of communication. Letters were carefully written, sealed, and delivered by messengers, ensuring the privacy and authenticity of the message.The process of sending and receiving letters was not only a means of communication but also a way to preserve historical records and cultural heritage. Many famous historical figures, such as philosophers, poets, and politicians, left behind a wealth of letters that provide valuable insights into their lives and thoughts. These letters serve as a bridge between the past and the present, allowing us to better understand and appreciate the wisdom and experiences of our ancestors.One of the most fascinating aspects of letter writing in ancient times was the use of secret codes and symbols to convey hidden messages. This was particularly common during times of war or political unrest when it was dangerous to openly express one's opinions. Letter writers would use clever techniques such as invisible ink, coded language, and hidden compartments to ensure the safety and secrecy of their correspondence.The physicality of letters also added to their charm and significance. Each letter was a work of art, carefully crafted on beautiful stationery with elegant handwriting. The choice of paper, ink, and seal was not arbitrary but reflected the sender's status, taste, and personality. The act of opening a letter was an event in itself, filled with anticipation and excitement.Although modern technology has made communication faster and more convenient, the art of letter writing still holds a special place in our hearts. The act of sitting down, pen in hand, and pouring our thoughts onto paper is a deeply personal and reflectiveprocess. It allows us to slow down, contemplate, and express ourselves in a way that is often lost in the fast-paced digital world.In conclusion, the tradition of letter writing in ancient times was a beautiful and meaningful form of communication. It connected people across distances, preserved history and culture, and allowed for the expression of thoughts and emotions in a deeply personal way. While the methods and mediums of communication may have changed, the essence of letter writing remains timeless and continues to inspire us today.中文回答：在古代，当没有现代通信手段时，人们依靠信件来传达他们的思想和感情。

The year of 2014saw smart people always busy inventing useful things, which have hepl ed to make the world better, smarter and a little for fun．Now, let's take a look at some of the inventions．Super bananaAustralian biogeneticist（生物遗传学家） James Dale visited Uganda, a poor African country, in the early 2000s, where he found t hat 15-30percent of children under 5were at risk of going blind because they did not get enough Vit amin A．Dale also learned that people there love bananas．They eat three to 11bananas a d ay．So he came up with the idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to imp rove Ugandans'health．With the help of Bill Gates'foundation, Dale developed the"super ban ana"．He added a gene to the fruit, making it rich in Vitamin A．Coaching basketballBasketball is popular worldwide, partly because you only need a hoop（篮筐） and a ball to play the game．But this simple game has experienced a technology makeo ver this year with the development of a smart-sensor basketball．The ball, called the 94Fifty Basketball, has nine sensors inside．They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are．With a Bluetooth chip inside, the basketball can connect to your smartphone and tell you i n the voice of a coach to"snap your wrist （传旋转球）", or"go faster", depending on the data．The HovercraftThanks to the California-based company Hendo, flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a reali ty．The Hovercraft has four small engines．These create a special magnetic field which produ ce enough force to lift the board off the ground．At the moment, the hoverboard（悬浮滑板） can only float an inch off the ground for 15minutes and must fly over a metal material．It's expensive too, at $10, 000 （61, 810yuan）, but the company hopes that one day the tech nology could be used．Wireless electricityMost of us could not bear to live without wireless Internet．We use it every day for everyt hing from our phones to our cars．But one company wants to go a step further, by combinin g wireless technology with electricity．That's right, no more tangled （缠绕的） wires and no more having to sit and hold your cell phone near a power socket（插座） in the corner of the room．WiTricity, a US company, has invented technology that can p ower objects up to 2.4meters away．It uses a special plug-in coil （线圈） that creates a magnetic field!（1）Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with？________A Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas．B Vitamin A is largely found in fruits li ke bananas．C Super bananas are definitely a safe biological product．D people's e ating habits can be used to develop new food．（2）What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball？________A The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game．B It can help players to improve their shooting and ball handling skills． C It allows players to connect to th eir smartphones while playing basketball． D The bluetooth chip inside allows its usersto listen to music while playing basketball．（3）What can we learn about the Hovercraft from the text？________A It enables its users to float off the ground freely．B It can work on many different kin ds of surfaces．C It still needs to improve its power and efficiency．D It is an afford able means of transport for a family．（4）What do the hovercraft and wireless electricity have in common according to the text？________A They create magnetic fields to produce power．B They apply technologies to many th ings in life．C They apply technologies which can produce electricity．D They use wireless technology to improve their products．4.

Oldest Message in Bottle: Behind History's Famous Floating Notes 最古老的瓶中信：历史上著名的漂流瓶背后的故事New find recalls "amazing paths" of drifting documents since ancient times.新发现使人回忆起从古至今那些漂流文件的“神奇之旅”。
Found in a bottle set adrift 98 years ago, this document was part of an ocean-current study.这份文件发现于98年前投放的漂流瓶之中，是洋流研究的一个组成部分。
Jeremy BerlinNational Geographic NewsPublished September 18, 2012作者：Jeremy Berlin国家地理新闻发布时间：2012年9月18日Photograph courtesy Marine Scotland感谢苏格兰海洋组织友情提供照片Ensconced in a plain glass bottle, the scrap of paper drifted in the North Sea for 98 years. But when a Scottish skipper pulled it from his nets near the Shetland Islands last April, he didn't find a lovelorn note or marooned sailor's SOS.这一张装在玻璃片中的纸片，在北海中已经飘荡了98年。
但当去年四月一名苏格兰船长在设德兰群岛附近从渔网中取下它的时候，他并没有看到一名失恋者的留言，抑或是困境中水手的求援。
"Please state where and when this card was found, and then put it in the nearest Post Office," read the message. "You will be informed in reply where and when it was set adrift. Our object is to find out the direction of the deep currents of the North Sea."Sorry, romantics.The message in a bottle found by Andrew Leaper—certified by Guinness World Records on August 30 as the oldest ever recovered—belonged to a century-old science experiment.这张纸条上这样写道：“请写上你发现这张卡片的时间和地点，然后将它投递到离你最近的邮局。
你会被回复告知漂流瓶是何时何地被投放的。
我们的目的是为了研究北海深海洋流的运动方向。
”不好意思，这真的一点儿也不浪漫。
Andrew Leaper发现的这个漂流瓶，在8月30日由吉尼斯世界纪录确定为世界上最古老的漂流瓶，而它属于一项百年之前的科学实验。
To study local ocean currents, Capt. C. Hunter Brown of the Glasgow School of Navigation set bottle number 646B adrift, along with 1,889 others, on June 10, 1914."Drift bottles gave oceanographers at the start of the last century important information that allowed them to create pictures of the patterns of watercirculation in the seas around Scotland," Marine Scotland Science's Bill Turrell explained in a statement.Turrell's Aberdeen-based government agency still keeps and updates Captain Brown's log. According to Turrell, Leaper's discovery—plucked just 9 miles (15 kilometers) from where Brown released it—is the 315th bottle recovered from that experiment.为了研究当地的洋流，格拉斯哥航海学校的C. Hunter Brown船长在1914年6月10日投放了这个编号为646B的漂流瓶，同时投放的还有另外1889个。
苏格兰海洋科学组织的Bill Turrell在一份声明中这样解释：“在上世纪初，漂流瓶带给了当时的海洋学家们重要的信息，这些信息让他们能够勾画出苏格兰附近海域的洋流运动模式。
”Turrell在阿伯丁的政府机构仍然保存并更新着Brown船长的日志。
据Turrell所说，Leaper发现漂流瓶的位置，距离Brown投放它的地方只有9英里（15公里）。
那支瓶子是迄今为止第315个被发现的。
Each one, Turrell explained, was "specially weighted to bob along the seabed," hopefully to be scooped up by a trawler or to eventually wash up on shore.Oddly enough, the previous record—a message in a bottle dating to 1917—was set in 2006 by Mark Anderson, a friend of Leaper's who was sailing the same ship, the Copious. "It was an amazing coincidence," Leaper said in a statement. "It's like winning the lottery twice."Turrell解释说，每个瓶子，都“被专门称重，能够漂浮在海床之上”，以便能够被拖网渔船打捞上来，或者被冲到海边上。
最古怪的事情是，前世界纪录的保持者马克·安德森在2006年发现了一个1917年的漂流瓶；而他正是利普尔的朋友，且驾驶着同样一艘船——丰产号。
利普尔说：“这是一个惊人的巧合，简直就像中了两次大乐透。
”Current History洋流的历史Of course, people have been putting messages in bottles for a lot longer than 98 years. Around 310 B.C., the Greek philosopher Theophrastus plopped sealed bottles in the sea to prove that the Mediterranean was formed by the inflowing Atlantic. (There's no record showing that he ever received a response.)当然，人们使用把信息放进漂流瓶中这一方式的历史远远不止98年。
在公元前310年，古希腊哲学家泰奥弗拉斯托斯投放了许多漂流瓶，来证明地中海是由大西洋流入内陆形成的。
