“It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” — these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying  'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.

1.Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.

2.By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.

3.The main idea of the passage is that _______.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it. Don’t be addicted to it. Put your phone away, OK?

Cyber(网络) Sickness

Also called “digital motion sickness”, symptoms that range from headaches to woozy(头昏眼花的) feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed video on your screen.1.Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness.

Text Claw

It is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction(收缩) felt in the fingers, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use. 2.So if you’re always on your phone, it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.

Eye Strain(疲劳)

Do you stare at a screen for hours on end? If you’re reading this, you very well might. 3.Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes, headaches and tiredness, which can decrease your productivity. Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.

Text Neck

Similar to the claw, text neck—discomfort in the neck and spine—happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone. 4.Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you’re on your phone—and bending it back to an upright position—can help reduce the risk of text neck.

Pedestrian Safety

Pedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking. While focused on the cyber world, many of us can lose reality of the physical one. Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology, and the risks are scary. 5.

A. We should taking breaks for a walk.

B. The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs.

C. Remember that pedestrian(行人) safety is more important than smart phone.

D. The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age.

F. Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the tendons(筋) and muscles when donerepeatedly.

G. Any activity that requires active use of your eyes—driving and reading included—can causeeye tiredness.

Dear Alice,

You really have two different questions here, so we’ll discuss them one at a time. Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things . You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other. It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(谨慎的) in the first term.

It’s also possible that the others are unkind. If this is so, you have to find out why you are the class “outsider”.

In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work. Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to “ buy” friends with these offers?

Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you ? They may have felt hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you if so. Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is. If you hear a negative answer, at least you’ll know what to do.

Yours truly,

Shelia

1.From the letter we know that Alice was very _______.

2. From the letter, we can conclude that ______.

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the letter?

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

Have you ever pressed the pedestrian button at a crosswalk and wondered if it really worked?　 They’re called “placebo(安慰剂）buttons”一buttons that mechanically sound and can be pushed，but provide no functionality.

In New York City, only about 100 of the 1, 000 crosswalk buttons actually function. Crosswalk signals were generally installed before traffic jam had reached today’s levels.

But while their function was taken over by more advanced systems—such as automated lights or traffic sensors — the physical buttons were often kept, rather than being replaced at further expense. Other cities，such as Boston，Dallas and Seattle，have gone through a similar process, leaving them with their own placebo pedestrian buttons. In London, which has 6, 000 traffic signals, pressing the pedestrian button results in a reliable “Wait” light. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the “green man”— or “pedestrian stage” in traffic signal design profession — will appear any sooner.

“We do have some crossings where the green light comes on automatically, but we still ask people to press the button because that enables accessible features,’’ said Glynn Barton, director of network management at Transport for London.

These features, such as blind tracks and hearable traffic signals, help people with visual disorder cross the road and only function when the button is pressed. As for the lights, a growing number of them are now combined and become a part of an electronic system that detects traffic and adjusts time frequency accordingly (giving priority to buses if they’re running late, for example), which means that pressing the button has no effect.

According to Langer, a Harvard psychologist, placebo buttons give us the illusion (错觉)of control — and something to do in situations where the alternative would be doing nothing. In the case of pedestrian crossings, they may even make us safer by forcing us to pay attention to our surroundings. “They serve a psychological purpose at the very least,” she added.

1.Why are the physical buttons still kept in some cities?

A. Because it may cost money to replace them.

B. Because they remain as memories of a city.

C. Because do have real functions in traffic.

D. Because they can result in reliable lights.

2.Which of the following word can replace the underline word “features” in Paragraph 4?

A. Functions. B. Uses.

C. Equipment. D. Facilities.

3.If you pressed a “placebo button” in London, what would happen?

A. All traffic would be affected. B. Some kind of sound might appear.

C. Pedestrians came first to cross the road. D. “Green man” were bound to show up earlier.

4.What can we know about “placebo buttons” from Langer’s words?

A. They can really control traffic. B. They serve little functions.

C. They may work mentally. D. They can help the blind.
