A

It's

10:30

pm,

and

11-year- old

Brandon

Blanco

is

sound

asleep

at

home.

Suddenly,

a

loud

noise

wakes

him

up.

Naturally,

Brandon

reaches

for

his

cell

phone.

The

message

becomes clear:

Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV

and three video-game consoles (

控制台

) in his room. With so many choices, it' s

no

surprise

that

when

he

isn'

t

at

school,

he

spends

nearly

every

waking

minute

using

one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study

by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever

before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours

a day on average, th

e study found.

The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria

Rideout,

the

lead

author

of

the

study.

Today,

nearly

seven

out

of

ten

kids

have

cell

phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.

Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time.

got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the

TV on in the background, why not?

Most

experts

agree

technology

has

much

to

offer

kids.

But

some

worry

the

kids

could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with

friends.

Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to

music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework.

make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,

With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology

use in check is more important than ever.

parents might have to step in sometimes.

do children spend more time in using electronic devices?

A. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.

B. Because more electronic devices are available to them.

C. Because they have less other activities.

D. Because they have less homework to do.

A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late- night text

B. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past

five years

C. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their

studies

D.

B

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great

speed

of

modern

life,

but

manners

on

the

road

are

becoming

horrible

．

Everybod y

knows

that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel

．

It is all right

to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter

altogether.

Road

politeness

is

not

only

good

manners,

but

good

sense

too

．

It

takes

the

most

cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced

to

face

rude

driving

．

On

the

other

hand,

a

little

politeness

goes

a

long

way

towards

reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting

．

A friendly nod or a wave of

thanks

in

answer

to

an

act

of

politeness

helps

to

create

an

atmosphere

of

good

will

and

calm

so

necessary

in

modern

traffic

condition

．

But

such

behaviors

of

politeness

are by no means enough

．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize

politeness when they see it.

However,

misplaced

politeness

can

also

be

dangerous

．

Typical

examples

are

the

driver

who

waves

a

child

crossing

the

street

at

a

wrong

place

into

the

path

of

oncoming

cars

that

may

be

not

able

to

stop

in

time

．

The

same

goes

for

encouraging

old

ladies

to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to

．

It always amazes me that the

highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (

奶奶

).

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if

drivers

learnt

to

correctly

join

in

traffic

stream

without

causing

total

blockages

that give rise to unpleasant feelings

．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even

learn to drive

．

Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car

ownership

would

demand

more

give- and-take

from

all

road

users

．

It

is

high

time

for

all of us to take this message to heart.

25. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .

A

．

road conditions B

．

the behavior of the drivers

C

．

the speed of modern life D

．

the large number of cars

A

26.

In the writer’s opinion,

.

B

．

strict traffic rules are badly needed

C

．

drivers should show road politeness properly

D. drivers should avoid traffic jams

27.

The underlined word “gi

ve-and-

take” in the passage means

.

A

．

politeness and impoliteness

B

．

good manners and bad manners

D

．

offering help to others as much as possible

A

．

Traffic Problems B

．

Road Politeness

C

．willingness to give in to each other’s wishes

28

．

What is the best title of the passage?

C

．

Bad Manners on the Road D

．

Good Drivers and Bad Drivers

D

Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls

behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents,

teachers, and f

riends. It’s hard to

cling to that belief today. Recent research

has

shown

that

there

are

biological

differences

between

boys

and

girls.

Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.

For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the

difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what

he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (

反过来

), boys

who

appear

to

be

inattentive

in

class

may

just

be

sitting

too

far

away

too

hear

the

teacher.

Likewise,

girls

are

better

in

their

expression

of

feelings.

Studies

reveal

that

negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls

develop

all

early

connection

between

this

area

and

the

cerebral

cortex

(

大脑皮层

),

enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So

if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often

cannot say much.

Dr.

Sax,

an

advocate

of

single-sex

education,

points

out

that

keeping

boys

and

girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and

interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize,

understand,

and

make

use

of

the

biological

differences

that

make

a

girl

a

girl,

and

a boy a boy.

32

．

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.

B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.

C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.

D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.

33

．

Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?

A. Girls are more emotional than boys.

B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than

in boys.

C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.

D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.

34

．

Which of the following does the author believe?

A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.

B. Girls need more training in communication.

C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.

D. Sex differences should be ignored in education

。

35

．What does the phase “cling to” in the first paragra

ph mean?

A. evaluate B. abandon

C. maintain D. challenge
