IF you’re one of those people who likes to take a look at their phone from time to time, you’re not alone. Using apps has now become part of everyday life. But with so many on the market that claim to be the best, which ones should you download onto your phone to have fun with? Below, four have been picked out for you. Evernote
In the world of note taking, Evernote is the king. It allows users to create electronic files such as text, photos, audio, and videos. It also lets you organize your files, tag (标记) them, and search them easily.
One of the most useful features on the app, though, is being able to log onto any device with your Evernote account and use your files. The app automatically stores your content in the cloud storage, and syncs (同步) it with your other devices. Another feature that is new in the latest version of the Evernote app is ―Places‖, which allows you to sort the files, photos, audio or video you have created by the location where you created them.
So if you need some organization in your life, Evernote is the app for you. Candy Crush Soda Saga
The original Candy Crush Saga took the world by storm, leaving millions addicted to its endless candy-popping levels.
But now there is a new challenge: Candy Crush Soda Saga. The app is similar to the original, but different enough to draw you in with a few new features. The app is still a match-3 game, which means that you have to move a piece of candy until there are three matching ones.
There are a few new features, though, such as soda bottles, which burst into purple liquid when you match three of them. There are also hidden gummy (粘性的) bears in this new version, and to complete the levels, you must clear the candies to reveal the hidden bear. These new features make the game a little harder than the old version, and you can expect to spend more time on each level.
So if you liked the original Candy Crush game, Candy Crush Soda Saga will be a new treat with much of the same fun as before. Moment Cam
Moment Cam brings you some of the most useful and wanted features a camera app can have, such as adjusting the flash, sequence shots (连拍), adjusting the timer, and selecting different-sized frames for photo sharing sites. But what sets the app apart from all the others is the selection of simple, minimal buttons that you hardly notice are there.
The best thing about the app is not what it does, but what it leaves out. For once this app is not full of too many confusing and useless features. Instead, it is simple, clean, and easy to use.
If you love taking photos on your phone, Moment Cam might be just what you never

The passage tells us the latest release of the two-child policy and analyzes its prospect and the positive effects it may have on China.
On a personal note, the long-awaited move immediately excited me, because having a sibling is what I have been dreaming about. With a sibling around, never will I feel lonely. In addition, I can shoulder part of the responsibility to take care of the baby, and thus learn to take care of others. Above all, I can share my joys and sorrows with another family member.
In the same way, the new policy means much more than giving children. It is expected to help to change China’s negative population trends. As is mentioned in the passage, the two-child policy is bound to increase the fertility rate and control the aging population. Besides, it will also help to solve an imbalance between boys and girls.
