I don’t post recognizable pictures of my chil...

I don’t post recognizable pictures of my children on social media. I don’t use their names. I don’t put anything out there that will be really embarrassing for them in later life.

The reason for not posting pictures is that I feel a person’s pictures should be his or her own. It’s not good for me to push my kids out into the wilds of the Web before they’re ready, and understand what it all means.

When the time comes, they’re more than welcome to use social media. But for now, I’m happy to give them a degree of separation until they can make a choice for themselves.

This has meant extra efforts on our part when it comes to making sure that kids don’t get accidentally caught up in the Internet, because the schools where they learn, like so many others up and down the country, post their pictures to social media.

However, my husband thought I was overanxious and asked me a question about its advantages. And having thought about it for while, I’m not 100 percent sure if there are any.

But I could list the disadvantages: the time it takes to manage an account, often by a teacher, meaning extra work; the unavoidable difficulties in safeguarding.

It’s great to see the kids doing their things in schools but my worry is about the use of social media that doesn’t give anything back to the kids, and in many ways, just turns them into another way to gain clicks. I want more than that for them.

1.Why is the author unwilling to post her kids’ picture online?

A.To push her kids into the wilds of the Web. B.To avoid being recognized

C.To make herself embarrassed. D.To protect her kids’ privacy.

2.What’s most schools’ attitude towards social media?

A.Supportive. B.Unfavorable. C.Doubtful. D.Worried.

3.Why did the author’s husband ask her a question?

A.To prove the author is knowledgeable. B.To show social media has disadvantages.

C.To advise the author to list what she thinks. D.To help the author solve her problem.

4.What will happen if schools post kids’ pictures online according to the author?

A.Teachers will take on extra work. B.Parents will have lots of things to do

C.Kids’ safety will be protected effectively. D.Kids will become famous due to clicks.

My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.

Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back— the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.

I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack— the first time I felt panic.

Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

1.The brown bear approached the family in order to _______________.

A. catch shore birds

B. start an attack

C. protect the children

D. set up a barrier for itself

2.The bear finally went away after it _______________.

A. felt safe　　　　　 B. got injured

C. found some food　 D. took away the camera

3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their _______________.

A. pride　　 　 B. patience

C. calmness　　 D. cautiousness

Kids nowadays are growing up “connected”, learning to use technology at a surprising speed. Technology is a regular part of school now! Kids as young as Kindergarten are using smartboards, IPads, and computers to complete tasks in the classroom. Older children rely on the Internet for research, getting homework, sending work to teachers, and even accessing（ 获得） textbooks. In fact, today’s kids have been given the name “digital（数字）natives” because they are facing technology almost from birth, so new things have never been a greater challenge in the hands of our children. The Internet，Facebook, iPods, pictures and texting on cell phones and all of these are the ways kids communicate today. They have become a central part of their lives. It allows them a private life that most of us know very little about.

Kids just don’t think about the results of the new world of social networking and text messaging. They don’t think that it is dangerous to send a photo of a particular person to a foolish person, who might send it to some friends that may send it to a hundred others and the next thing you know, it’s on many Facebook sites and all over the Internet forever. They don’t think that way because they don’t have the life experience that we do. We have to help them.

The key to knowing how they manage this privacy（隐私） is our “connection” to them. How closely do we connect with our kids and pay attention to what they’re doing? And how often do we talk to our children... and really listen to them? If they believe in us and know that we will be there for them, they are more likely to follow our advice. If we talk openly about what we believe in, what we stand for, those values will become their own before long.

1.What is the author’s opinion about children?

A.They are good at accepting modern things. B.They are well understood by their parents.

C.They almost like to surf on the Facebook. D.They know the Internet dangers well.

2.What does the underlined word “us” in paragraph 1 refers to?

A.Kids. B.Adults. C.Internet users. D.Internet teachers.

3.Why do kids think differently according to paragraph 2?

A.They only understand their own private lives. B.They are badly influenced by new things.

C.They do not have life experience. D.They don’t depend on their parents.

4.When will children accept their parents’ advice?

A.When they are surfing on the Internet. B.When they meet some dangerous situations.

C.When parents believe in what they are doing. D.When parents communicate with them deeply.

Last night, I found my mother sit with her legs crossed on the sofa, looking through her iPhone with her glasses. This is not the first time I have caught her like this. My father once tapped (敲) away on his phone with a serious look on his face, saying the “I’ll be with you shortly” line. I have learned by now that this is to tell me to leave him alone for the next 10 minutes. Although they don’t like admitting it, both of my parents　　　　　　　　 couldn’t go without their phones as I do.

Growing up, we are repeatedly reminded that we are those who prefer to text our friends in the same room rather than make eye contact with them. We are ruining the English language because we like using heart-eyes emojis (表情符号) instead of spelling it out. And even though I can recognize myself as a social media (媒体) addict, I think parents should at least consider that not only the young generation (代), but also they like phones.

I get upset when I receive the “I’ll be with you shortly” line from a parent. But, at the same time, leaving the room to wait until my father is finished with his “serious business” has now become the norm.

Whether you want to escape your noisy children for a while, or want to stay up late tapping through Twitter, all of these are common. But you should fully understand it. We—your children—know how addictive it can be and how difficult it is to turn it off. So before calling us out and telling us to “put our phones away at the table” or even worse, saying how damaging social media can be to us, maybe you should lead by example and consider how much time you spend on the phone as well as how this is influencing your children and your relationship with them. Maybe in this way we can work on our addiction together.

1.What can we learn about the author’s parents?

A.They become addicted to phones like him.

B.They’ve been forced to use phones by him.

C.They like buying their phones online at home.

D.They often communicate with him by phone.

2.What is the young generation’s weakness according to paragraph 2?

A.Having fewer chances to learn social skills.

B.Failing to express themselves in a right way.

C.Getting angry easily when facing their parents.

D.Giving up the ways of communicating directly.

3.What does the underlined word “norm” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Fixed tradition. B.Accepted behavior.

C.Expected decision. D.Unforgettable experience.

4.What advice is given to parents in the last paragraph?

A.Behaving well in front of children. B.Putting the phones away at the table.

C.Taking more time to stay with children. D.Having good communication with children.

Computer technology has changed the way we deal with the world, from allowing us to communicate with others more easily to entertaining us with video chatting. Newer generations are growing up with this technology, but we should know that the computer is a double-edged sword. It does have its benefits, primarily in education and gaining information, but it can also be harmful to children during a very important time of growth. Too much computer use can affect children's physical and mental health as well as social skills.

Using the computer is an activity much like watching television. You don't get very much exercise, simply sitting down. Computers cause other health problems as well. Too much use of a keyboard and a mouse can cause hand injuries, back problems and so on. At a time when children are growing physically, it's especially important to note the benefits of physical activity.

Too much computer use can affect a child's attention and focus（专注度）. Though some computer games have been shown to help a child develop certain cognitive（认知的）skills, there are still many games and other forms of computer entertainment doing nothing to develop a child's mind. Addiction（上瘾）to programs, games and videos makes it more difficult for children to focus on tasks for a long period of time, and this can affect a student's studies and grades. In more extreme cases, children with computer addiction will fail their classes completely. Computer addiction is a very troublesome thing, and once it starts, it's very difficult to stop.

Computer use is also an activity which most children enjoying doing alone, and it can go hand in hand with addiction. Children who spend more time on the computer than other people in general, may fail to develop necessary social skills. Social skills are important not only for communicating with others, but for developing self-respect and working in social environments, both of which are very important for children's growth.

1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 2?

A.Know about. B.Set down.

C.Pick out. D.Depend on.

2.In the author's opinion, kids’ too much computer use can lead to　　　 .

C.shortage of entertainment D.poor performance in study

3.Children with computer addiction may get unsocial because　　　 .

A.they ignore social environments

B.they seldom communicate with others

C.they think social skills unnecessary

D.they find it hard to develop self-respect
