Social networks are a big part of nearly every teenager's life in this day and age.Many teens have QQ,WeChat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives.Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced（追踪）back to you.That includes every post,even like,comment,favorite and forward that you have ever committed.All pictures you've posted or will post have been stored in a digital database,and it is the companies' right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.
With every post comes a consequence;whether it is good or bad,what you post could be seen by anyone.That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.
If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture,you are probably wrong.Recently,a senior,Aaron,at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year.He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page,ignoring potential consequences.
This student,however,did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school.Surprisingly enough,he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline（惩处）."When you agree to come to Servite,you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for"the young man said."That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm.It's at all times."
So,next time you're about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate,think twice,think again,and don't press send.

When we think of a generation gap we usually think of conflicting tastes in music, or pastimes. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn’t read the assignments she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in schools.
Opponents claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world. Typed words have become a primary form of communication. Once a practical kill handwriting is no longer used by the vast majority of Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for instance, by teaching the technical skills.
But even in today’s world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and apply it to paper Many American institutions still require original signatures, for instance, signing for a registered letter and buying a house. And original signatures are much more difficult to forge(伪造) than their digital counterparts. There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It activates a different part of the brain, and improves fine moving skills in young children. People also tend to remember what they write by hand more than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas. Besides, studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don’t. Not to mention, handwriting is pleasing, as is evidenced by the fact that no one has ever typed a love letter. And handwriting remains popular as an art form.
Yes, we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world that is based on fundamental values.
1、What did the teacher find in her class?
A．Her students had a big generation gap with her.
B．Her handwriting was too terrible to understand.
C．Some students could not recognize her handwriting on the blackboard.
D．Some students handwriting on the blackboard was too difficult to tell.
2、Why do some people agree to teach handwriting in school?
A．Handwriting is easy to remember.
B．Handwriting is beneficial to the brain.
C．Handwriting can help one buy a house.
D．Handwriting is an art form out of time.
3、What can we infer from the passage?
A．Handwriting is widely used in America.
B．What people write by hand is not easy to recognize.
C．Handwriting is emphasized in our modern society.
D．Those with good handwriting may perform better in their studies.
4、What is the author’s attitude towards teaching handwriting in school?
A．Opposed.
B．Objective.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Favorable.

I 49 my shoes and stockings and began walking barefoot through the water. It was deliciously 50 , heated by the pavement that had been 51 by the summer heat.
I'm sure my neighbors thought that I had 52 my last vestige of sanity（神智健全）, but I didn't care. For in that moment, I was alive. I wasn't worried about bills, the future or any other day-to-day cares. I was 53 a gift — a pure and simple moment of joy!
The plaque now hangs in my living room, a Christmas gift from my husband. I walk past it multiple times each day and 54 pause to ask myself, "So, am I 55 in the rain?"
I think I am. I know I try to. One step at a time, I am learning to dance in the rain!
