Theyre all different, but some are definitely better than others.Rotten Tomatoes Instead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. Theres a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but its also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.NetflixNetflix asks you to rate(划分等级) movies to determine which films youll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you arent all that strong. Its easy to use, but its not the best way to get movie recommendations. JinniWhether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinnis most amazing feature is its semantic(语义的) search. You can enter a term like “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You wont regret it!CritickerInstead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users.

I had agreed to teach all struggling students in need of critical intervention(介入). I knew what lay aheadtough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback and lesson plans with best practice strategies. No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, “Im_glad_its_you_and_not_me.”Suddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching.“Peter Potter，” I called from my name list, trying to control my laughter.“Laughlin McLaughlin？” Surely these were not real names.“Emotionally disabled. keeps them separated from the other kids.，” the vice headmaster commanded. This was my first teaching assignment.Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few. In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars. I looked at another student, Robert, standing at the door; my vice headmaster asked if I would take him, even though he was an eleventh grader in my tenth grade class.But then there were and are stories of success of Dustin, in Graduate School for Electrical and Computer Engineering; of Michael, now a teacher in a city school; of Willie. I thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.I broke from my daydream, a smile spreading across my face. Sadness, tears, challenges, fears yes, teaching is filled with all of these yet, it is also filled with laughter and smiles, hope, dreams, and rewards beyond measure.“Im glad its you and not me.” Those words resounded in my mind once again.5What might the authors job be like?AEasy.

Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.It is a convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship lots of Ooho bubbles without arriving with a very wet truck. However, they have attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane. It is targeting large outdoor events such as marathons, music festivals, and sporting events, where tons of plastic bottles are used, and frequently left behind as litter. And too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for their purpose of such a new invention.The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials needed to produce Ooho; they have recently applied for a patent for their new advancement. The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet, but they cost about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. It has appeared at events in London, San Francisco, Boston, at conferences, festivals, and so on.Ooho is catching many peoples attention and has raised over $1 million and gained 1,000 investors in only three days. It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to keep the consumers interest when the production machine is running. It is quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.8How is most plastic dealt with in America?AIts sold. BIts recycled.CIts buried.
