They may have text, email, Facebook and Twitter, but young people are still lonelier than any other age group. The Loneliness in New Zealand report, published by Statistics New Zealand, shows under 30s are more likely to feel lonely than older people because loneliness decreases with age.Loneliness and poor mental health were strongly related across all ages. Young people were not as likely to feel lonely because of financial hardship, but among older people, lack of money was a significant influence on loneliness. Women were more likely to feel lonely than men.

Philip Walker, spokesman for the General Social Survey, said because it was relatively new it was hard to know whether loneliness among young people was a new trend. But overseas research has found that levels of loneliness in youth today are growing.

Walker said the finding needed more exploration, including looking at the role of technology and social media. “It could be that people's expectations of connection have gone up, so we expect increased levels of connection.” he said. “While technology like cell phones could help young people stay connected, on the other hand for those who do get bullied, especially bullied online, it's quite isolating. A lot of the time potentially it is a big contributor to loneliness.”

Figures from online dating website Find Someone also confirmed more young people were looking for love. Manager Rick Davies, said younger dating hopefuls were the fastest growing group on the site.

Mr. Davies noted that since the report data was collected in 2010 there had been huge growth in smart phones, which meant people were online even more. He believed online tools, such as Skype, could help people stay connected. “People can keep in touch with a wide range of friends from all over the world much more easily now. It's like you're sitting in your living room having a chat with them.”

Bemardine Reid, operations committee chairwoman for Samaritans, which operates a free helpline, said many of their calls came from people who were lonely. “It might be that they've got some problem, just like all the things people would normally talk to a friend about, but people who are alone lack those normal contacts.” The Statistics New Zealand report also showed people who didn't have face-to-face contact with family and friends were more likely to feel lonely, as were those who lived alone.

1.Which of the following may Mr. Walker agree with?

A.High technology may become a reason for loneliness.

B.People shouldn't use the Internet to get to know strangers.

C.It's hard for people to get enough connection online as expected.

D.Social media should play an important role in helping lonely people.

2.From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that　　　　　　 .

A.Internet can keep people free from loneliness

B.people chatting a lot online tend to be optimistic

C.people living alone tend to have more connection online

D.people communicating less in the real-world risk loneliness

3.It can be inferred from the passage that　　　　　　　 .

A.Find Someone is a website where you can find old friends

B.without technology, young people would not feel lonely

C.high technology results in the older being lonely

D.those cheated or hurt online tend to feel lonely

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Loneliness around You B.Young People Online

C.Young but Lonely D.E-times and Young People

Chinese culture values family bonds (纽带) very much. Family members don’t just gather during the holidays, in fact they often live under one roof all year round.

Different cultures have different family values. 1.

In most East Asian cultures, extended families(大家庭) are common. 2. According to the Atlantic, 90 percent of children in Shanghai and 70 percent of children in Beijing were cared for by their grandparents. Chinese people believe that “a grandparent is a treasure to their family”.

In many Western countries，most families are nuclear families (小家庭). These are only made up of children and their parents.

Additionally, the duties parents have toward their children can also differ.

3. It’s normal for parents to pay for their children’s college, help them find a job, or buy them an apartment. Chinese adults also follow their parents’ opinions when making major life decisions, more often than not.

In most Western countries, however, kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18. 4. Also, if they choose to keep living with their parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen by some as a failure on their part.

While the East cares more about close family bonds, the West values privacy and independence. 5. Families will always be a source of love, warmth, and care for people around the world.

A.These families have three or even four generations living together.

B.Nuclear families are the most common type in China.

C.In China, many parents look after their children all the way into adulthood.

D.Families in the east and west are very different from each other.

E.But in the end, home is best — east or west.

F.Many young people going to college often need to take out loans and work part-time jobs in order to pay for tuition and rent.

G.Both Easterners and Westerners value quality family time.

For many, traveling is a way to escape the worst parts of daily life. But what if a travel destination(目的地) witnessed terrible events, like war, genocide (大屠杀) or nuclear fallout? Would you still want to visit?

There’s a growing phenomenon called “dark tourism” – people visit sites to do with death and human suffering. “It’s living on the edge almost – if you go to a place where people have really died,” Karel Werdler, a senior lecturer in history at InHolland University in the Netherlands, told CNN.

When people go to traditional tourist spots, like Disneyland, or some wonders of the world, they may feel happy to enjoy something interesting or new. Dark tourism, however, not only provides that newness but also can make them feel lucky that their problems are so small in comparison. According to the Guardian, “Dark tourism to some extent depends on the reverse (颠倒) of the old equation (方程式) of more familiar tourism.”

For many people, these sites offer a way to think about the mistakes of the past and the lessons we can learn from history. For example, Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, is one of the most popular dark destinations. When its nuclear reactor (核反应堆) blew up in 1984, it released a radioactive cloud so devastating that the surrounding area will remain uninhabitable (不适宜居住的) for 20,000 years. Despite the destruction and danger of the still present radiation, nearly 72,000 people visited the area last year, reports the BBC. One of these was Li Yimeng, who went on a tour of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. During the tour she saw the homes of the power plant’s former workers, deserted classrooms, and an abandoned playground.

“I experienced a whole range of emotions as I saw the area where they used to live, which is now a wasteland,” she told China Daily. She also stressed the need to show respect when visiting places like Chernobyl. Though dark tourism is related to death and dying, “it tells us more about life and the living”, The Sun said.

1.What is the main purpose of the article?

A.To compare different types of travel.

B.To persuade readers to join in dark tourism.

C.To tell readers of a new type of travel.

D.To introduce one of the most popular dark destinations.

2.What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.dark B.destructive C.huge D.straight

3.With the example of Li Yimeng, the author tries to show dark tourism _____.

A.can be a frightening experience

B.makes people think about life

C.call on people to take action to avoid disasters

D.warns people to be careful about high technology

Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional hemp (麻布) clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, cooking soy sauce and cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes.

It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec 14, she won Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.

With a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million flowers on video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show off a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. “I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture,” the bogger told China.org.cn. “Much of the popularity of my videos owes to the attraction of Chinese culture.”

Li sems to be a master of all kinds of sills—cooking, painting, designing and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired work. A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China’s traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.

“She told the stories of China’s culture and that of China.” the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Ziqi also comes from her “passion for life, for her home and for her culture”. Indeed, Li’s simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities. “She leads a life that many dream of, but don’t dare to give up their current life in exchange for,” iFeng.com wrote. Her handmade lifestyle is a fantasy for many. “In today’s society, many feel stressed,” she told the South China Morning Post. “When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.”

1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Li Ziqi enjoys 7 million followers on Twitter.

B.Li Ziqi won Person of the Year awarded by Chinese government.

C.Li makes suitable food to follow the changes of climate.

2.What makes Li’s video so successful at home and abroad?

A.Her love for Chinese culture B.Her confidence for Chinese culture

C.The attraction of her videos D.Her excellent ability of making handicrafts

3.What does the underlined words “hustle and bustle” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.noisy and stressful life B.busy but relaxing life

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

1.The author brought the couple their food very fast because _______.

A.the manager asked him to do so B.the couple wanted him to do so

C.he respected the elderly D.he wanted more pay

2.When the author called the couple “elderly”, they became _______.

A.nervous B.unhappy

C.satisfied D.excited

3.After this experience, the author _______.

A.changed his way with older people B.made friends with the couple

C.no longer respected the elderly D.lost his job in the restaurant

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more the author explained, the angrier the couple got.

B. The author wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.

C.From this experience, the author learned more about American culture.

D.The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.

Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of pants, four pairs of shoes and a few other things. It's hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn't stop buying stuff. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothing and handbags

But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a blogger in the United States who was promoting(推广) a minimalist lifestyle(极简生活方式). He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings to fewer than 100. Lin wasn’t strongly against it, so she got rid of 90 percent of her stuff. She also deleted(删除) 120 contacts she never spoke to from her social networking account. After doing all that, Lin said she felt “lighter”.

We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people tend to believe that the opposite is also true--and perhaps truer.

According to US sociologist Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and well-off are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. “These people are making the statement: ‘I can afford to have less.’,”he said.

But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn't mean spending less. A report by UK market research company Euromonitor found young Chinese people spend less on possessions, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.

“They are looking for a life that is all about culture,” Alison Angus, head of lifestyles at Euromonitor, said about Chinese youth.

So perhaps it all comes down to how we define(定义) “rich”. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about having a more colorful life?

1.The author mentioned the change of Lin Hanxing to _______.

A.introduce the minimalist lifestyle

B.encourage us readers to buy less

C.explain the popularity of owning less

D.explain the importance of a new lifestyle

2.What’s Lin Hanxing’s attitude towards the online challenge in the beginning?

A.She was very fond of it.

B.She thought it worth a try.

C.She was strongly against it.

D.She thought it must be painful.

3.According to the passage, young Chinese people care more about _______.

A.possessions B.culture

C.education D.clothes

4.If one is rich, he is more likely to _______.

A.spend less B.buy more

C.own less D.experience more

The word for milk in German is "Milch", In french it is "lait". Usually, you don't find the same words in every language. But there is an exception for the word OK! The word OK is the most frequently(频繁地) spoken expression in the world, and it turned 175 years old on March 23, New York Daily News reported. “OK” was first introduced to the world in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839. It read : o.k. —oll correct (all correct). Although it was only a joke at that time, later people began marking OK on documents and using OK on the telegraph (电报) to say that all was well. Today, we use this expression every day. “How about 2 o’ clock? OK?” “OK.” “OK, then.” The word OK is easy to say and write, and clear enough to be understood. Besides, it offers neutrality (中性) that other words don’t have. If you say something is great, some people may say it isn’t. But with “OK” everyone generally agrees.

Are these any other words that can cross countries and cultures? “Huh” is another universal word. Researchers found that “huh” means surprise or disbelief in 10 different languages, Los Angeles Times reported. Sometimes, people need a word to express many meanings at once. For example, sometimes there is a problem of understanding, or you want to ask somebody for response(反应). Saying “huh” is short and easy to say and hear. Also, you don’t need to learn this word, just like you don’t need to learn to cry or laugh. “Huh” just comes out naturally.

Other widely used words include “mama”, which is considered to be the easiest word for babies to pronounce. Don’t forget “game over”. It is not only used by game fans but also a hot word to describe the end of an event in real life.

Did you know?

1. The longest word in the English language, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis. It’s a kind of lung (肺) disease.

Increasingly ,over the past ten years ,people—especially young people—have become aware of the need to change their eating habits ,because much of the food they eat ,particularly processed foods ,is not good for the health .As a result ,there has been a growing interest in natural foods :foods which do not contain chemical fertilizers ,widely used in farming today .

Natural foods ,for example ,are vegetables ,fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic(有机的)matter . In simple terms ,this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter ,which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers , the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of food grown in commercial farming areas .

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy grassland for cattle .Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry (家禽):there are battery farms ,for example ,where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish .Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins .

There are other things of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet .Take ,for example ,the question of sugar .This is actually a non-essential food! Although another natural food ,such as honey ,can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary ,we can in fact do without it .It is not that sugar is harmful in itself .But it does seem to be addictive : the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year !Yet all it does is provide us with energy ,in the form of calories .There are no vitamins in it ,no minerals ,and no fibre .

It’s very important that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet .In white bread ,for example ,the fibre has been removed .But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables .It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables ,certain diseases are comparatively not often seen .For this reason ,the importance is placed on the eating of wholemeal(没有去麸的面粉)bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.

1.People have become more interested in natural foods because ________.

2.Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that ________.

3.According to the passage,_________.
