A crisis is on the way. Global warming? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it—Facebook, Twitter, etc.

There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to end the written world. None did. Reading survived; In fact, it not only survived, but it has developed better. The world is more literate than ever before — there are more and more readers and more and more books.

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations(插图), an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts, pictures, and videos.

On the other hand, there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化).One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span(时间)—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.

In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.

1.In Paragraph 2,we can learn 　　　　　　　 .

A. the disappearance of traditional books

B. the development of human civilization

C. the historical challenges for reading

D. the birth of pioneering e-books

2.According to the passage, the advantage of e-books is　　　　　　　 .

D. varied contents

3.How does the author feel towards single-sentence-long novels?

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 food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers（化肥）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 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 foods grown in commercial farming areas.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures（生活状况）. 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 than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.

There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts in diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! It is　 not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily 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.

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

A. processed food is not good for the health

B. they want to eat food that is more tasty

C. they want a change of diet

D. they want to be fashionable

2.The reason of using chemicals and fertilizers is to ________.

A. improve the quality of foods

B. increase the quantity of foods

C. provides people with essential vitamins

D. supply people with more energy

3.Battery chickens cannot be called “natural food” because ________.

A. they all live together

B. they are tasteless

C. their eggs have no vitamins

D. they are not allowed to move round and eat freely

Few people would question the value of taking part in sports for young people . With proper training , supervision , protective equipment and techniques , and a proper emphasis on winning , sports can develop a healthy body and spirit and a life-long interest in being active and fit . Without such measures , childhood sports can lead to injuries and even paralysis or death .

The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.

No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that “village life” is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline about a hundred years ago. When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century. It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp oil and coal.

Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed（展现）to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare（福利）for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.” It is just life, and a better life.

Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. 0bviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.

1．By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that_______ .

A．those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrong

B．the two statements are against each other

C．“village life” today is rather uninteresting

D．“village life” today is no longer like what it used to be

2．As is suggested in paragraph 2, villages in the past______________.

A．lived a simpler life than villagers today

B．knew fewer people than villagers today

C．found it difficult to enjoy themselves

D．like to wash themselves with cold water

3．The expression “…there is no point whatever in talking about…” in paragraph 3 means that______________.

A．there is no end to the talking about …

B．it is harmful to talk about …

C．it is not meaningless to talk about …

D．there is no reason for talking about …

4．What does the writer think of the “village life today”?

A．Dead.         B．Worse         C．Better.       D．Unclear.

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression（忧郁症）．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all．

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls．Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won’t tell that to their parents．

Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing．Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early．During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．

Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help．The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity（成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Parents should forbid their children’s love．

B．Puppy love may bring young people depression．

C．Romance is a two-edged sword for adults．

D．Romance is good for young people．

2.Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness．

B．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior．

C．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions．

D．Careless parents whose children are deep in love．

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance．

B．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents．

C．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression．

D．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly．
