A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app (跟踪应用程序) on the kid's phone.

At first, this made my sister-in-law ''feel better''. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, ''I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn't. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends. '' Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.

With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, according to a 2015 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not?

Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. ''I've found teens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them, '' she said.

Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, ''We don't have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone, ''he said. For example, his daughter must ''friend'' him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.

When you're trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. ''Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them, '' said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they're not open about it, he warns, it can ''greatly damage the parent and child relationship''.

1.What’s result of the author's sister-in-law using the app?

A.She felt good with knowing her daughter's after school activities.

B.She wasn't worried about her daughter any more.

C.She had more communication with her daughter.

D.She had more conflicts with her daughter.

2.What can we learn about today's teens from Homayoun?

A.They doubt family agreements.

B.They are worried about online safety.

C.They dislike being watched secretly with tracking apps.

D.They welcome the use of tracking apps.

3.Why are Mark Bell and his daughter mentioned in Paragraph 5?

A.To show how to use smart phone safely.

B.To give an example of being straight with children.

C.To teach how to put tracking app on phones.

D.To tell the importance of being children's friend.

4.What should be done before using a tracking app according to Weigle?

A.Teach the kid how to use it. B.Check the kid's phone.

C.Tell the kid about it. D.Advise the kid to use his phone less.

It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.

Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would make him cheerful.

As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.

Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states.

“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.

Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.

Sonya and her family have been homeless since she was 3 years old. Over the years, they　 have moved more than 15 times to different shelters around New York City. Moving around was hard on Sonya, At school, Sonya hid her homelessness from teachers and other students. She didn't want to be treated differently than other kids.

In sixth grade, Sonya discovered a way to deal with some of her stress (压力).

Cathy is a tetraplegic. She has not been able to move her arms, legs or speak since suffering a stroke（中风）nearly fifteen years ago. Recently, she learned how to control a robotic arm using her thoughts. She now can use brain activity to serve herself a drink.

The American woman is one of two people who took part in a research project known as BrainGate2. The researchers have spent years studying how to help people who are disabled regain movement in their arms and legs.

John Donoghue is a neuroscientist with Brown University and also was part of the project. He said, “People like Cathy have their brain disconnected from their body. So they are not able to go out and do everyday things that you and I can do, like reach for a glass of water or scratch your nose. Our idea is to avoid that damaged nervous system and go directly from the brain to the outside world, so the brain signals can, not control muscles, but control machines or devices like a computer or a robotic arm.”

The two disabled people had small sensors connected to the part of the brain that controls movement. The devices measured brain activity and sent that information to a computer. The computer has special software that turns the information into digital commands for operating other devices. The researchers used a highly developed robotic arm to recreate human actions．

The BrainGate team had its first success in 2006. A tetraplegic stabbing victim was able to use the brain—computer system to control a computer mouse. John says the latest development using robotic arms is a major victory.

A video of the latest experiment shows Cathy using the robotic arm to pick up a cup of coffee. She guides the cup toward her mouth, moves it forward and drinks through a straw.

Lead researcher Leigh Hochberg said the first time she did it was a magic moment.

The research team carried out almost 200 tests with two different robotic arms, which were able to pick up their target objects 43％ to 66％of the time.

The researchers are calling the information very promising. But they say it will take years to fully develop the technology for everyday use.

1.What kind of symptoms may a tetraplegic have?

A. He/She may suffer from amnesia and a loss of concentration.

B. His /Her part of body may become sore and swollen.

C. He/She may get frequent headaches or backaches.

D. He/She can’t move his/her arms or legs and has no ability to speak.

2.How does the robotic arm work?

A. brain signals small sensors muscle a robot arm

B. brain signals the nervous system　 musclea robot arm

C. brain signals small sensors a computer a robot arm

D. brain signals the nervous system a computer a robot arm

3.What can we know from this passage?

A．The technology had been put into use before 2006.

B．It won’t be long before the technology comes into daily use．

C．The two robotic arms couldn't pick up their target objects．

D. Quite a few experiments have been conducted for the technology．

4.What's the purpose of the research project?

A．To help the disabled people to move and speak．

B．To help the brain-computer system to control a computer mouse．

C．To help the disabled people use brain activity to serve themselves a drink．

D．To help the disabled people to get movement like having their arms and legs again．
