technique(

手

法

) of describing him was surprising; I saw how a writer can bring a real person

to life for modern readers.

A Visit from the Goon Squad

BY JENNIFER EGAN

Egan

uses

a

technique

that

I

drew

on

when

writing

The

Imitation

Game

.

She

tells

stories from different voices and times,

and uses many styles that say

to readers,

“

I

’

ve done

a

lot of work,

but now

you

have

to

join

in

and

work it

out

for

yourselves.

”

With my latest book, my greatest hope is that readers will want to get other

people discussing the book. I

’

ve just started the conversation.

One night, I was happily making my tea when all of a sudden the room was in

complete darkness. The lights had gone out, the oven(

微波炉

) stopped working and

my phone was no longer charging(

充电

). I tried to fix the electricity but I soon

realized

that

I

couldn

’

t.

I

had

to

wait

for

an

electrician

to

come

in

the

morning.

After messaging my friends to say that I wouldn

’

t message that night because

I couldn

’

t charge my phone, I sat down to eat my half-cooked dinner. And then I

wasn

’

t sure what to do. I usually spend my evenings watching TV and going on the

Internet. I

couldn

’

t even read

a book because

I wasn

’

t prepared with candles. So

for me, it was an early night.

Losing

our

electricity

felt

like

losing

a

basic

necessity.

In

fact,

electricity

is a luxury(

奢侈品

). But we think it will always be there when we need it. I use

electricity

all

the

time,

even

when

it

’

s

not

really

necessary.

I

use

it

to

put

the

TV on even when I

’

m not really watching it. I use it to check my phone when I wait

for a friend.

Our overuse of electricity is a big problem. It is one of the causes of global

warming,

which

is

harming

our

environment

and

we

need

to

do

what

we

can

to

stop

it.

Not only that, but if we continue to overuse it we will soon run out.

We wouldn

’

t want to live in a world without electricity, but we will run out

one day. So, shouldn

’

t we start preparing for it now? Cutting back on our use of

electricity saves energy resources(

资源

) so that they can last longer. I know for

sure that I could cut down on my use of electricity. If everyone does the same, we

can make a difference.

5. What did the author do when the electricity went out suddenly?

tried

to

fix

it

and

succeeded.

messaged

his

friends

for

help.

called an electrician immediately. stayed in darkness the whole

night.

6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 show?

author was unsure what to do. author had nothing to do but

sleep.

C. The author was tried after the accident. author didn

’

t want to do

any reading.

7. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

results

of

overusing

electricity.

examples

of

overusing

electricity.

ways of using electricity properly. suggestions on producing

electricity.

8. According to the passage, which of the followings is TRUE?

overuse of electricity is the only cause of global warming.

’

ll soon run out if no measures are taken to save electricity.

s use of electricity makes no difference in saving energy

resources.

Children

’

s

lives have changed greatly over

the last 50 years. But

do they have

a happier childhood than you or I did?

It

’

s

difficult

to

look

back

on

one

’

s

own

childhood

without

feeling

n ostalgic(

怀

旧的

). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with

them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street

with

the

other

neighbourhood

children,

or

racing

up

and

down

on

our

bikes.

My

parents

hardly appear in these memories, except as providers of meals.

These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly.

Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is common

for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just

isn

’

t

time

to

bring

up

a

large

family,

or

that

no

one

could

possibly

afford

to

have

more than one child. As a result, today

’

s boys and girls spend much of their time

alone.

Another major

change is that youngsters today prefer

to spend most of their

free

time

at

home,

inside.

More

than

anything

this

is

because

of

the

fact

that

parents

worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn

’

t

dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.

Finally,

the

kind

of

toys

children

have

and

the

way

they

play

is

totally

different.

Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more active

pastimes of

my

childhood.

The

ir ony(

讽

刺

)

is

that

so

many

of

these

games

are

called

“

interactive(

互动的< /p>

)

”

. The fact that you can play computer games on your own

further increase the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.

Do these changes mean that children today have a less pleasant childhood than

I

had?

I

personally

believe

that

they

do,

but

perhaps

every

generation(

一代人

)

feels

exactly the same.

9. Why did the author mention his childhood in Paragraph 2?

thank his parents make a comparison.

introduce

some

games.

remember

a

good

time

in

the

past.

10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

hard time of the UK family. difficulties in raising

children.

C. The most challenging thing for parents. reason why childhood has

changed.

11. What does the author think of computer games?

are very exciting. are not really good.

C.

They

are

too

risky

for

children.

help

children

connect

with

each other.

Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.

eighth

grade,

欺凌

)

Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason,

whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.

“

Being included has made a difference in their lives,

”

said Natalie, now 16.

This experience encouraged her to create an app, Sit With Us, which was started in

September 2016.

Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a

group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their

lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn

’

t have friends to sit with can find a

friendly table to join.

“

The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,

Susan

Newman.

“

It

’

s

always

good

to

have

a

support(

”

What is Natalie

’

s hope for Sit With Us?

“

To reach as many kids as possible,

”

said,

the

app

is

already

being

used

by

kids

in

Australia

Teenagers earning money

In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old

or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn some spending money.

Here are a few ideas.

Parents

with

young

children

sometimes

want

to

go

out

for

dinner

or

to

the

movies,

but they don

’

t want to

leave their

children

alone. 16 If

the children go

to

bed early, you can do some of your homework!

Some

adults

have

a

dog,

but

they

don

’

t

have

time

to

take

it

for

a

walk.

17 So

some teenagers work as dog walkers.

It

’

s a good idea ---you

earn

money and you

’

re

outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise,too!

Teenagers

can

deliver

newspapers.

You

usually

ride

a

bike

around

a

neighborhood

and

leave

a

newspaper

at

each

house.

18 You

have

to

get

up

early,

too,

because

people want to read their newspaper with their breakfast.

19 Some

companies

pay

teens

to

do

online

research.

They

want

to

know

what

teens

are

interested

in.

It

’

s

a

fun

and

easy

way

to

make

money.

You

can

also

design

web pages for friends or adults.

Sometimes adults pay teenagers to mow(

修整

) their lawns(

草坪

). It

’

s a great

job

because

you

get

fresh

air

and

exercise.

20

Then

you

have

regular

customers(

常客

), because grass always grows!

A.

Dogs need a lot of exercise!

B.

It brings a lot of safety problems.

C.

Normally you have to have your own bike.

D.

Teenagers can work at home on their computers.

E.

It

’

s important to tell an adult where you

’

re going.

F.

Do your job carefully and people will want you to do it again.

G.

So, they ask a teenager to stay in the house and look after their children

while they are out.
