Text messaging, or "texting", which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it in one second. Texting helps you to "talk" to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to "talk" to someone secretly if you don't want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking. However, texting has its disadvantage. Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can't receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What's more, if you don't do texting properly, for example, texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2013. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don't notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting(限制) the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.

Have you ever visited the Forbidden City？ This year is its 600th birthday． It is the world's largest palace and has over 17 million visitors every year． But if we traveled back to the past， we probably wouldn't be allowed inside．

During those times， the Forbidden City was where the country's supreme power （最高权力） could be found． Emperors were born， lived， fought and died there． It saw the highs and lows of the Ming and Qing dynasties， and it plays a very important part in Chinese history．
The cultural relics （遗物） and documents （文件） in the palace show how the royal families lived． They are still used today for historical research， as well as inspiration for literature （文学） and entertainment （娱乐）．
In 1987， the Forbidden City was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site．For world leaders who visit China， it has become a must﹣see．In 2017，when US President Donald Trump paid a state visit to China，President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan welcomed Trump and his wife there．

My favorite book is the Little Prince written by the French writer Antoine．The book tells about how children see the world． It's so interesting that I can't help reading it over and over again．
The prince is kind and innocent （天真无邪的），so he doesn't understand why people want to have power， wealth and praises so much．He flew to different planets to find the answer， but finally he still had no idea． In fact， he also had his own problems． In the past， he fell in love with a red rose that was beautiful but vainglorious （自负的）． Later， he left the rose because of her vanity （自负）．On the earth，he made friends with a fox． They lived together for some time，but in the end he made up his mind to leave to find his rose． To his surprise，the rose was dead，and the planet was full of monkey bread trees．It's a pity that he lost his rose forever．
In my opinion， I think he should value the friendship with the fox， because， after all， the rose was dead．The friendship is important as well．The story is about friendship，love and humanity（人性）．It's helpful for us students to think more about the world． So let's open it and take a great journey along with the little prince．
根据短文内容判断所给句子正（T）误（F）．
（1）The book the Little Prince was written by an English writer．
（2）The prince didn't find the answer to his problem at last．
（3）The prince left the rose because she was poor．
