Studies have shown most people fail to realise how much time they spend on their smartphones each day.

Frank and Amelia’s family were put to a test, using a free app called “Moment-Screen Time Tracker”. The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.

“Honestly, I don’t feel like I’m on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent closer to four hours on his phone, which came as a shock to him. The children’s times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.

Minneapolis-based Dr. Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.

“If we hear more than once, ‘Do you have to be on your phone right now? Can you please put your phone down? Did you hear what I said?’ it may be sign that it is negatively (消极地) influencing our family relationships and our daily lives,” she said.

Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.

She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people’s feelings and problems—when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones to communicate with other people,” she said.

1.How did the Vascellaros feel about the test results?

A.Satisfied. B.Doubtful.

C.Uninterested. D.Surprised.

2.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Paragraph 5?

A.To encourage people to live simple life.

B.To ask people if they use phones too much.

C.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.

D.To show the importance of close relationships.

3.How did Lind Seal probably look at the app?

A.She worried about it.

B.She was in favor of it.

C.She felt it was a waste of time.

D.She thought it needed improvements.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.Too much use of smartphones.

B.The influence of apps on teens.

C.Children’s safety on the Internet.

D.Problems among family members.

There are five keys to success in learning a foreign language.

Spend the time.

By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed(浸入) in the language.

1.This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.

Listen and read every day.

Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player.2. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.

3.

Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.

Take responsibility for your own learning.

If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. 4.Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.

5.

Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or can’t yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can’t control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.

A.Relax and make sure of the time spent with the language.

B.Focus on words and phrases.

C.Read what you are listening to.

D.Chat with others in the language on the Internet.

E.If you do want to learn the language, take control.

F.The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.

G.There are hundreds of easy conversations for you to practice speaking.

Jeremy grew up being active in sports. But he never thought about healthy eating until he found himself gaining weight several years after college. Last week, Jeremy hit a turning point when he found that he was too out of shape to play in a company football team. He decided to change his eating habits.

The first step Jeremy took toward healthy eating was to stop going to fast-food restaurants. Jeremy used to eat fast food as often as 4 times a week. To his surprise, he found that giving up fast food wasn’t that difficult. Now, he says, “I don’t even like it anymore.” When Jeremy does go out to eat, he tries to pick menu items that he knows are healthier. He orders salads and lower-fat sandwiches instead of hamburgers, and he drinks water instead of soda pop. “I try to order things that are already prepared the way I would like them to be prepared.”

Planning meals has been a key to Jeremy’s success. It helps him avoid getting too hungry and eating fast food. Each week he plans what he will eat for each meal, and he shops for groceries (食品杂货) with his plan in mind. “It’s a lot easier to make healthy choices when you’re just planning ahead for it.” Rather than cutting out certain foods, Jeremy sometimes includes his favourite foods in his eating plan. “That way I don’t feel like I’m letting myself down by not sticking to my plan.”

Jeremy’s friends and family noticed when he started eating healthier. They have helped him to make a habit of his healthy eating changes. “It made me feel pretty good, especially when people started making comments about the changes I was making,” he says. “You just get the positive energy.”

1.What made Jeremy decide to change his eating habits?

A.Higher food prices. B.Weight gain in college .

C.Dislike of unhealthy foods. D.Failing to join a football team.

2.What did Jeremy think of giving up fast food?

A.It was too easy for him. B.It made him uncomfortable.

C.It was not as difficult as he thought. D.It meant stopping going out to eat.

3.What played the most important role in Jeremy’s healthy eating?

A.Eating less at mealtimes. B.Making plans ahead of time.

C.Following his friends’ advice. D.Cutting out all unhealthy foods.

4.How does Jeremy feel about people’s comments?

A.Surprised. B.Encouraged C.Worried. D.Interested.

5.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

There’s a small problem with a working holiday: working.

It seems like a fantastic idea. You picture yourself learning a foreign culture, meeting locals and making friends. What you don’t picture is the actual work.

Some people manage to keep a fine balance between working and holidaying. I’ve met plenty of working holidaymakers who are holding high-paying jobs that not only allow them to live in style, but that they also enjoy. Great.

For most working holidaymakers, however, that’s a daydream. You’re not working overseas to further your career — you’re working overseas to further your travelling expenses. And besides, most serious employers will take one look at that year-long visa (签证), and laugh you out of the building.

So you end up doing some of the jobs I’ve done.

Fruit picking. I did mine in the north of Scotland, which wasn’t satisfying, given it’s a place with a summer in name only.

Strawberries are a pain. It’s a case of bending your back for about eight hours straight. Lettuces aren’t much better. Again, more back bending.

Is picking fruit a nice way to spend a holiday? No.

So I became a line cook at a restaurant in Edinburgh. There, because there were no formal training systems in Scotland, I was handed a white jacket and referred to as a “chef (厨师)”. And as a “chef”, I would pull out boxes of frozen chicken tikka masala (冷冻香料烤鸡咖喱), putting them in the microwave until they were just so.

Again, not what you’d call a fun way to spend a holiday.

So when you’re planning a working holiday, it’s worth thinking about what you’re actually going to be doing, since that’s how you’ll spend your time while you’re away.

Is it going to be enjoyable? Will you be able to meet people, make friends? Is it going to allow you the time and money to do other things, see other places while you’re there?

Remember, it’s not a working holiday if you spend all your time working — it’s just work.

1.According to the author, what will happen to most working holidaymakers?

A.They will live in style.

B.They will enjoy their travelling.

C.They can get plenty of good work experience.

D.They may have difficulty finding a good job.

2.How does the author feel about his fruit picking experience?

A.Tiring.

B.Important.

C.Interesting.

D.Eye-opening.

3.What do we know about the author’s job as a line cook?

A.He was trained hard.

B.He found it very difficult.

C.He was doing nothing skilful.

D.He learned how to cook chicken.

4.What’s the author’s advice for those planning a working holiday?

A.To stick to their plan.

B.To know what to expect.

C.To be adventurous.

D.To be hard-working.

If you were asked to imagine a scientist, what image would come to your mind? The idea that most of the kids have is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and cups of colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority regard scientists as strange people who spend a lot of time working in a lonely lab. However, the reality is quite different.

Recently I’ve had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my lab and into Costa Rica. It has a large amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species (物种), which represents nearly 4% of the species worldwide!

First we worked to protect wildlife at a leatherback turtle (棱皮龟) protection center. We helped the volunteers to remove rubbish from the beach to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out. After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic (地壳的) activity relating to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. On the last day we got a professional introduction of rocket (火箭) science and learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.

During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesn’t mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is the one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping protect wildlife, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets. I think that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!

1.According to Paragraph 1, scientists are often believed ________.

A.to do experiments in messy labs B.to spend too much time in labs

C.to wear clothes in a different way D.to work in dangerous conditions

2.In Costa Rica，the author ________.

A.experienced an earthquake B.took part in rocket experiments

C.picked up rubbish on the beach D.helped the volunteers collect turtle eggs

3.What does the author learn about science from his experience?

A.Science is full of boring experiments.

B.Science is related to chemical liquids.

C.Science is more than working in a lab.

D.Science is about wildlife and earthquakes.

4.What is the best tide for the passage?

A.What a Scientist Is Like B.Where a Scientist Works

C.How I Traveled in Costa Rica D.Why I Chose to Study Science

The average American family will spend somewhere around $637 on back-to-school supplies for each elementary school child this year and twice that for a high school student. Add to that the fact that both children and parents feel anxious about the transition (过渡) of going back to school at the end of summer. For this, Jermaine Smith of Cleveland and four other barbers decided to cut hair for about 40 kids and teens for free last Saturday.

In fact, Smith has been giving back to the community in other ways long before this weekend. He cuts hair by day, but in the evenings, after bringing his daughter home from school, he goes to work as a police officer.

“A lot of parents bring their kids to me for haircuts because I’m a police officer. They trust me because they think that I teach kids to do the right things in the barber shop. I always tell young men that they always get to stay neat and attractive, and people tend to treat them with respect,” Smith says. “When you get your hair cut, you look good and feel good.”

Maybe a service that would only cost $15 regularly seems like just a drop in the bucket, but child and teen psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg sees this as more than just a one-time free service. Other free haircut and school supply events have appeared unexpectedly all across the country this month, as organizers have recognized how much parents can use this extra help.

Greenberg says, “One of the ways to make a transition easier is to make it fun and introduce something new or unusual, so the whole idea of getting a haircut makes kids feel special and important.” The haircuts were just part of the Start School on the Right Foot event, which also handed out about 50 backpacks full of school supplies.

1.Why did Jermaine Smith and other barbers cut hair for kids?

A.To improve the community service.

B.To prepare children for the competition.

C.To help children and parents reduce anxiety.

D.To provide back-to-school supplies for children.

2.Which of the following can best describe Jermaine Smith?

A.Honest and generous. B.Creative and friendly.

C.Grateful and thoughtful. D.Reliable and responsible.

3.What does Jermaine Smith want young people to do?

A.Form a healthy lifestyle. B.Treat people with respect.

C.Get along well with others. D.Leave a good impression on people.

4.What is Dr. Barbara Greenberg glad to see?

A.More parents are willing to work together.

B.More people take action to help kids in school.

C.People amuse the little kids in school regularly.

D.People try to make kids feel special and important.
