When we first gave our daughters (then 13 and 15 years old) cell phones for emergencies, we made them sign an agreement in which we strictly ruled where and when they could use their phones and even we could check their every text message. However, in less than a year, we lost control of the situation.
There is a terrible reality that almost every teenager sends between 50 to 100 messages a day - some as many as 300, and 70% of teenagers admit hiding their online behavior from parents. According to a study, teenagers need as much sleep or more than they get as children - that's between 9 and 10 hours of sleep a night, but only 20% of them are getting it. When they don't get enough sleep, they perform poorly in school, feel very hungry, are more likely to have flu and are very emotional.
Recently, we adopted a "check in at tuck in" (盖被子时交手机) rule at our house, an idea I learnt from a parenting expert. It is very simple. At bedtime, when we "tuck in" our children for the night, they must "check in" their phones. They will probably bargain like this:
"But I use it for my alarm clock."
"I'll wake you up."
"My friends might need me."
"If there is an emergency, they can call the fixed phone and I'll wake you up."
A few weeks ago, when I drove my younger daughter to a friend's house for a sleepover, she handed me her phone. "I guess I should check this in now, since you won't be there to tuck me in tonight. I'll call you from Ellie's phone if I need you."
1.The first paragraph that the writer writes is to______.
A. show the writer's family life
B. lead to the topic of the passage
C. advise to buy cell phones for children
D. introduce the writer's two daughters
2.The cell phones were bought for children in hope of_______.
A. controlling their online behavior
B. working hard through the Internet
C. replacing alarm clocks with cell phones
D. keeping in touch if something urgent happened
3.Which of the following is NOT caused by sleeping less?
A. Performing well in school.
B. Feeling very hungry.
C. Being easy to have flu.
D. Being very emotional.
4.Which is probably the best title for the passage?
A. How to Take Control of Children
B. How to Help Children Sleep Well at Night
C. How to Get Children off Cell Phones at Night
D. How to Assist Children with Cell Phones

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests liked Kelly more, the younger one, enjoying her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a unusual girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect（影响） the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being paid no attention. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said,” Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Why don’t they say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging（拥抱） her to make her feel better.
Now whenever I visit a friend’s home. I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
1.The underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over” (paragraph 4) means_______.
A．show much concern about B．have a special effect on
C．list jobs to be done for D．do good things for
2.We can conclude from the passage that_______.
A．parents should pay more attention to the elder children
B．the younger children are usually more easily hurt
C．people usually like the younger children more
D．adults should treat children equally
3.Kristen felt sad and cried because_______.
A．the guests gave her more coats to carry
