As more and more schools rush to put digital devices(设备)in the hands of every student, many parents are becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of their children’s education. The promise of increased student academic achievement through the use of technology hasn’t really produced any significant results in the past 20 years.

Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles conducted a study in 2014 to determine if the social skills of elementary students were blocked by screen time. Two groups of sixth grade students were compared. One group was sent to an outdoor camp for one week with no screen time, while the control group live life as normal. After one week, the students at camp had made significant improvements over their peers(同龄人). The good news is that when we limit access to screen time and give children the opportunity to interact face to face, they quickly become better at reading non-verbal cues(非语言暗示)and determining the emotional state of others. The bad news is that we have a generation of children that struggle with this basic emotional intelligence skill.

Too much screen time has been linked to childhood obesity, sleep disorders, behavior problems, and academic challenges. But is there a difference between schoolwork and entertainment media?

When students are using technology for academic work they are more likely to be communicating with peers, working cooperatively, and developing other important skills. However, all these are impossible when students watch entertainment media. They just sit and watch!

Parents have right to be concerned about their children’s screen time at school, but they should begin by discussing the use of digital media at home. Some parents are continuously tuned into their own devices, responding to every ping (铃声)of their phones, receiving and sending messages. How can they expect their children to do better?

1.What was the schools’ initial intention of using digital devices?

A. To improve students academically

B. To help students develop socially

C. To make school life more entertaining and colorful

D. To make sure students get technological education

2.What aspect of children worries the writer a lot?

A. Lacking guidance on proper screen time

B. Lacking chances to communicate with others

C. Lacking interest in improving their study

D. Lacking skills in reading others’ emotional state

3.What attitude does the writer have to the use of digital devices in schoolwork?

A. Positive　　 B. Concerned

C. Negative　　 D. Uncertain

4.From the passage, we can learn that _________.

A. parents shouldn’t oppose schools in their educational approaches

B. some parents may set a bad example to their children in using digital media

C. the screen watching time shouldn’t be longer than 2 hours for students

D. it’s wrong for schools to focus on technological education

Everyone wants to have a healthy heart. Still, heart diseases affect more than 1 in 3 adults in the United States. The good news is that some simple, everyday habits can make a big difference in your ability to live a healthy lifestyle. Here are some worst habits for your heart, and how to avoid them.

Watching TV

Sitting for hours on end increases your risk of heart attack and stroke(中风),“some exercise doesn’t make up for the time you sit,”says Harmony R. Reynolds, Why? The lack of movement may affect blood levels of fats and sugars. Dr. Reynolds advises walking around regularly and, if you’re at work, standing up to talk on the phone.

Leaving hostility and depression unchecked

Are you feeling stressed or sad? It can do harm to your heart. While everyone feels this way some of the time, how you handle these emotions can affect your heart health.“Those with stress are in greater danger; research has shown a benefit to laughter and social support,” Dr. Reynolds says. “And it’s helpful to be able to go to someone and talk about your problems.”

Cutting off from the world

It's no secret that on some days, other human beings can seem annoying and too difficult to get along with.

However, it makes sense to strengthen your connections to the ones you actually like. People with stronger connections to family, friends, and society in general tend to live longer, healthier lives.

Everyone needs alone time, but you should still reach out to others and keep in touch whenever you can.

Drinking (too much) alcohol

Sure, studies suggest a small amount of alcohol may be good for your heart. However, too many of us drink over. Too much alcohol is linked to a greater risk of high blood pressure, high levels of blood fats, and heart failure.

1.Watching TV for a long time may ______________.

A. help you live a healthy life         B. lead to heart attack

2.Which of the following is bad for those with stress and sadness?

A. Laughing a lot                   B. Talking about their own problems.

3.If you want a long healthy life, you should____________.

A. cut off from the world             B. get along well with others

C. stay alone as much as possible      D. drink no alcohol

4.From the passage we can infer that _____________.

A. some everyday habits can help avoid heart attacks

C. it’s easy to strengthen your connections to others

D. too much alcohol is not linked to heart failure

As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. That’s bad for the economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think. That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人员流动)data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations(辞职), and retirements. (Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad, staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2014, when the economy was still booming along, job growth was only 132，000, while staff-turn over was 4.7 million!

And as it turns out, even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job. It’s true that if total employment were higher. It would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for). And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.

But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look；learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up．Four million people get hired every month in the U.S. You can be one of them.

1.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate____.

A. takes job opportunities from people

B. prevents many people from changing careers

C. does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening

D. should not stop people from looking for a job

2.What does the author say about overall job growth?

A. It increases people’s confidence in the economy.

B. It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.

C. It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

D. It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.

3.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?

A. Education　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Intelligence

C. Experience　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Persistence

4.What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?

A．They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

B．They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.

C．They provide the public with the latest information.

D．They warn of the structural problems in the economy.
