　　Computers can help you do your homework in all kinds of ways. They can even make it easy to write the following sentence one hundred times:“I will not be late again.”All you have to do is to write a simple problem, run it, and print out the results.

　　Of course, there are better ways to use a computer to help do your homework. The lesson can be in the form of a new learning experience, a drill, or a review. And you can do the lessons as many times as you want—a computer never gets bored.

　　All kinds of computer programs are being used as learning tools. For example, people are learning to type rapidly with typing programs. You can immediately tell how well you are doing and even have fun while practising.

　　The most popular use of a computer to help with homework is with a word processing program. A word processor lets you type on a keyboard(键盘) and see the words on a screen in front of you. You never have to retype a whole page to correct a few mistakes. A word processor allows you to make changes and corrections quickly and easily. It allows you to arrange sentences, paragraphs, and even pages of material. It lets you think about what you are writing without worrying too much about keeping them neat and tidy. Then when you want what you have written, all you need to do is to push a key and your poem, story, or essay is printed. In fact, the words you are reading now were first written on a word processor.

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

It’s become part of the restaurant table setting: knife, fork, napkin and cell phone.

　     Distracted (思想不集中的) dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a Weibo photo of the meal they’re about to chew down or emailing the boss. For many smart-phone users, it’s hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.

　     Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存) their phones at the door a 5-percent discount on their bill. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant, located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.

　     “For us, it’s really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again,” he explained. “It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we’re trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.”

　     Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cell phone usage, too. “I’m guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, it’s a wine glass, the silverware and the cell phone,” he joked.

　     The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.

Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.

The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
