Limiting kids' recreational(消遣) screen time to less than two hours a day, along with enough sleep and physical activity, is associated with improved cognition(认知), according to a study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.

The study included about 4,500 US children aged 8 to 11 and measured their habits against the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. It found that 51% of the children got the recommended(建议) nine to eleven hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, 37% met the recreational screen time limit of two hours or less per day, while 18% met the physical activity recommendation of at least 60 minutes of accumulated physical activity a day. Only 5% of the children in the study met all three recommendations; 30% met none at all.

The researchers found that as each recommendation was met by a participant, there was a positive association with global cognition, which includes memory, attention, processing speed and language. Those who met all three had the most "superior" global cognition, followed by those meeting the sleep and screen time recommendation and finally the screen time recommendation alone, according to the study.

Other organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics have guidelines in place to help with the management of children's screen time. The organization suggests putting realistic rules or limits in place for how long your children are on their screens, knowing who they are talking to and what they are doing. The amount of recommended screen time depends on the age of the child. Besides, parents should also make sure to encourage physical activity and have bedroom rules such as creating "tech-free zones".

1.Who are the target readers of this passage?

A. Researchers.　　 B. Teachers.

C. Parents.　　 D. Children.

2.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. A study on children’s screen time is published.

B. US children fail to meet movement guidelines.

C. Organizations are concerned about children’s cognition.

D. Limitation on children's screen time is linked to better cognition.

3.According to the passage, which of the following might contributes least to cognition?

A. Screen time limit.　　 B. Sleep hours.

C. Physical activity time.　　 D. Sleep hours and screen time limit.

4.Why does the American organization suggest creating "tech-free zones”?

A. To make sure children have enough physical playtime.

B. To make sure children have enough sleep time.

C. To make sure children have recreational time.

D. To protect children against radiation.

高二英语七选五简单题查看答案及解析

In a class this past December, after I wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination, one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized: “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?”

“I can’t read my own handwriting,”the young woman explained. “It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.”

That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the photo-taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldn’t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively.

Yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?

Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information—it helps prepare the way for understanding. Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method, but just because a method has a long history doesn’t mean it’s out of date. Writing things down engages a student’s brain in listening, visual, and kinesthetic(触觉的)learning—a view supported by a longstanding research. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory, and to process and combine it, establishing the building blocks of learning new concepts.

Taking a picture does indeed record the information, but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs. So can the two be equally effective?

I’m not sure how to measure the effectiveness of either method. For now, I allow students to take notes however they see fit—handwritten or photographed—because I figure that some notes, no matter the method of note-taking, are better than none.

1.The woman apologized in the class because she____.

A. took a picture of the board

B. missed the teachers’ directions

C. had the bad handwriting

D. disturbed other students’ learning

2.Students refuse to take notes by hand because_____.

A. they are unable to take notes

B. they are more likely to lose notes

C. they are interested in using their phones

D. they have a good memory of teachers’ instructions

3.According to the passage, taking notes by hand_______.

A. requires students to think independently

B. is unsuitable for students to learn new ideas

C. helps students actively participate in learning

D. proves to be an old and useless learning method

4.What’s the author’s opinion towards taking notes by phones?

A. Supportive.　　 B. Neutral.

C. Doubtful.　　 D. Disapproving.

Caring for animals, tutoring kids, helping seniors: Volunteer hours are more than a graduation must, they are life lessons.

Vilma Sooknanan cleans cat cages, Max Carroll teaches children how to cook and Michael Rosenthal rolls wheelchairs at a hospital.

What does this have to do with high school education?

Everything.

The three – and almost all other South Florida high school students – have to go outside of the classroom to earn their diplomas, doing what schools call “community service”.

Broward public schools require 40 hours to graduate. Palm Beach County public schools require 20, and most private schools require at least that much.

The purpose: To give students the chance to explore a career and create a habit of volunteering.

“We hope that when they finish high school they’ll continue service,” says Mike Roland, student activities officer for the Broward School District.

About half of U.S. public schools require community service, according to a national study. Broward School Board member Bob Parks says encouraging community service has launched all kinds of new projects, including tutoring and food collections.

Sooknanan, a student at South Broward High School, is part of the Humane Society of Broward County’s volunteer program, which is so popular that even the waiting list is closed. Students work one four-hour shift a week for four months, and leave with 64 volunteer hours.

Sooknanan changes litter boxes and puts down fresh newspaper for about 100 cats.

Combined with her volunteer hours at beach cleanups and helping teachers at school, she’s well on her way toward 250 hours, which she hopes will catch the eye of Nova Southeastern University, where she wants to study marine biology.

Carroll, a junior student at South Plantation High, has connected with FLIPANY, a nonprofit organization that offers cheap physical activity and food to low-income families. He helps teach children about cooking and healthy eating.

“It has been a life-changing experience,” says Carroll, who is now leaning toward a career as a sports trainer. "I want to find a career encouraging people to lead a healthier lifestyle.”

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 15 WORDS.)

1. How many hours of community service are students required to do to graduate from most U.S. private schools?

2. Why do some U.S. schools require students to do community service to graduate?

3. The reason Sooknanan take up so many kinds of volunteer work is that ___________.

4. Volunteer work is popular in many high schools in the U.S., not only because it is a graduation must, but also because ___________ .
