The concept of a working holiday is fairly simple．It is a vacation which normally lasts for several weeks or even months，during which you divide your time between work and recreation．The typical working holiday includes some manual labor and sightseeing．You can usually get room and board in exchange for a few hours of work．For instance，Australia and New Zealand encourage working holidays by offering one-year visas to people between the ages of 18 and 30．Countries all over the world offer the chances to work or volunteer and live in a new environment．All you need is a return ticket and enough cash to live on．

While some people choose to work in restaurants or hotels，others may do fruit picking which is perhaps the most popular type of work．Be prepared for long working days in the orchard，which may last up to ten hours a day．If you are not ready for this，a more leisurely job with shorter hours is possible，but you will not make as much money．Another option is volunteering in foreign countries．For example，you can work with disabled children in Bolivia and practice your Spanish，research dolphins and whales in Italy，or build schools in rural towns in Ghana．

A working holiday is a great way to broaden your horizons since it gives you the chance to explore a country，practice a new language，and meet people from all over the world．These kinds of adventures sometimes have a really big impact on those who have experienced a working holiday．They often say that it was one of the best memories of their lives．Be aware! Even though some working vacation programs pay，not all of them do sometimes you end up paying to go on working vacation．However，a working holiday can get you off the beaten track and into spots the average tour bus would never go near.

1.What can you get in exchange for a few hours of work?

Teenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk ofdeveloping ADHD (多动症), a study has concluded.

The research team, from the University of Southern California, tracked 2,600teenagers aged 15 and 16. They asked them how many times they checked theirphones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD. After two years, those who had checked their phones the mostoften were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs ofADHD.

Writing in the JAMA medical journal, the scientists said, “Modern mediadevices immediately inform users when new text messages, social media postings, or videogame play invitations arrive. Exposure to such information may drawattention away from important tasks. Frequent distraction could interrupt thedevelopment of constant attention and organization skills.”

They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact. Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD and televisions. “What’s new is that previous studies on thistopic were done many years ago, when social media, mobile phones, tablets andmobile apps didn’t exist. We can say with confidence that teens who are exposedto higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHDsymptoms in the future,” he said.

Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how newmobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk forchildren. And the findings serve as a warning.

British scientists welcomed the findings. But Professor Andy Przybylski of theOxford Internet Institute said, “The study relies on survey responses provided bythe students in question. It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the childrensimilarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with eitheractual behavior or higher quality survey items.”

1.How did the researchers conduct the study?

A. By monitoring 2,600 teenagers with ADHD.

B. By tracking the participants for two years.

C. By analyzing data from previous researches online.

D. By controlling different teens’ time spent on social media.

2.What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media?

A. It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms.

B. It will create higher ADHD risks.

C. It will weaken teenagers’ confidence.

D. It will have a major influence on organization skills.

3.What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study?

A. It provides a better understanding of the media.

B. It should have focused on parents’ responses.

C. Its findings are not reliable enough.

D. It’s a breakthrough in this field.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. The use of digital media is on the rise

B. Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHD

C. Heavy use of social media may increase ADHD risks

D. Teens’ exposure to modern media calls more attention

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.

During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I had nothing to do with the cause of them.

One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think I am handsome, Miss Eyre?”

The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No，sir.” “Ah，you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir, I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that.” “No, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.”

I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope.”

It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.

“Don't be afraid of me, Miss. Eyre,” he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night.”

53. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to __________.

A. tell her all his troubles

B. tell her his life experience

C. blame her for misunderstanding him

D. change his circumstances

54. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded __________.

A. rude              B. cold               C. polite            D. encouraging
