WHEN was the last time you used an emoji ? For many of you, the answer is “just now”! Indeed, the cute little pictures have become an important part of our digital lives. But think twice the next time you send out an emoji – the wrong one may get you in hot water

A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US learned this lesson the hard way. She faced charges for using gun, bomb and knife emojis in a post on Instagram, a photo-sharing website, in December. She had to appear in a court for threatening the school and computer harassment (騷擾) last month, reported The Washington Post.

The girl’s mother said her daughter was a good kid and that the post was a response to bullying (欺凌). It’s not clear whether the case has already been solved, since the hearings (聽證) were not open to the public.

There will be more and more of these cases as emojis continue to spread around the world. Last year, 6 billion emojis and other similar pictures were sent every day, according to the UK-based mobile technology company SwiftKey.

While the courts get ready to struggle with upcoming cases with emojis, do you agree that we should start using the icons more carefully?

1.What is an emoji?

2.Why did she have to appear in a court?

In England, some food companies across the whole country have been told to carry out urgent (緊急的) tests on all beef products. Do you know why? That’s because some food companies used horsemeat to make beef products.

There are some examples about the horsemeat matter. In January, 2013, in a number of UK supermarkets, frozen hamburgers were found to have traces of horsemeat in them. Some frozen beef products made by food company FINDUS were found to contain horsemeat. All of the beef products made by this company have been removed from sale.

The government said that there’s nothing to suggest any health risk from the products. Food minister David Heath said people should not throw away frozen meat products and carry on eating meat. The government will tell people not to eat meat if the meat is not safe.

THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.

“Mark Twain”， the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).

Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(紀(jì)念) with special gold and silver coins.

But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪惡)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.

The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.

Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father， he isn’t really looking for freedom， but survival.

It’s even more of a problem for a slave. Jim， the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps， makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(財(cái)產(chǎn)).

Huck and Jim’s friendship， as shown by Mark Twain， is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character， Huck， who gets an idea of the African American experience.

Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway， the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.

With the race issue(種族問題) far from dead in the US today， perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.

1. How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage?

A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four

2.Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works?

A. It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner.

B. It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.

C. It describes the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.

D. It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience.

3. According to the passage， which statement is NOT true?

A. Huck gets away from his father for survival.

B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.

C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.

D. Without the special coins， he’ll probably be forgotten.

4. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.

A. still being there. B. Becoming more serious.

C. Being in danger. D. Gone for a long time.

5.What’s the main purpose of the article?

A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

B. To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.

C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.

D. To draw readers’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.
