Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street？Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new "species" of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers（低头族）.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities（身份） bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.

Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. "Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck, "Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. "The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching." Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

1.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh 2?

A. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

C. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

2.Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have？

A. He will cause the destruction of the world.

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C. His social skills could be affected.

D. He might get separated from his friends and family.

3.Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing？

A. Supportive.　　 B. Objective.

C. Optimistic.　　 D. Opposed.

4.What may the passage talk about next?

A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.

B. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.

C. People addicted to phubbing.

D. Consequences of phubbing.

Most of us in China are used to paying for everything with our phones. 1.At least, this was the case for Lim Swee Say from Singapore, who found his first experience with Chinese payment methods quite impressive. Lim was waiting in line to buy nuts at a street stall(货摊) in Shanghai and saw other customers show their phone and take the nuts without giving cash. 2. It seems that Singapore falls behind in mobile payments. Some Chinese tourists find it inconvenient when they have to use cash in Singapore.

3.According to Xinhua News Agency, many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists, with WeChat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and Alipay over 200. It’s now common to see the familiar green or blue logos in tourist destinations around the world, from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a huge department store in New York.

Mobile payments are now a normal part of life in China, and the trend is sweeping other nations. According to Forrester Research, in America, mobile payments rose by 37 percent in 2016. 4.This may be partly because western mobile payment services require businesses to install expensive equipment before customers can use them.5.

A. While in China, all it takes is a QR code (二维码) and a phone.

B. The popularity of Chinese mobile payments has pushed some foreign companies to accept them.

C. Foreign tourists don’ t like to pay with their mobile phones.

E. He was trying to figure out how they got paid.

F. Still, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater than those in the US.

G. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using WeChat Pay.

Mike Maietta was eating lunch when he got a text message from his mom.

“Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”

Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home.

This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending.

“We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $3,000 a year, just for travel.”

As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased.

Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York.

“The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”

More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year.

This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.

1.Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.

A.travel fees B.financial concerns

C.poor exam results D.worries about living far away from home

2.The phrase “Big envelope” in paragraph 2 probably refers to “______”.

A.A text message B.A large gift package

C.An admission letter D.A scholarship letter

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The number of American senior students applying for financial aid is increasing.

B.Rachel Brown has given up NYU because of its high tuition and big debts.

C.It is inevitably hard for college students to borrow money to cover costs.

D.An interest-free loan for students helps more students apply for Stanford.

4.The passage mainly focuses on ______.

A.the calculation of different costs including tuition

B.the extremely hard financial situation in America

C.the excitement of students’ being able to enter ideal colleges

D.the financial crisis of families over college entrance

When most of us look at our hands, we might notice that we need to clean, or stop biting our fingernails, and that’s about it. But if you ask a doctor, he can see a whole lot more. Everything from poor diet and stress to serious kidney (肾) problems can be revealed by a glance at your fingernails.

There are about 30 different nail signs that can be associated with medical issues, though may indicate more than one problem, according to Dr. Amy Derick, a clinical instructor of dermatology at Northwestern University.

Here are five of the things a doctor can tell about your health based on your fingernails.

1. People who aren’t eating well and lack vitamin or dietary may have thinner than normal nails, which are more likely to break.

2. Horizontal lines are associated with serious physical stress. They frequently occur in people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗).They can also occur after some illnesses, injuries, or with severe malnourishment(营养不良).Interestingly, there may be an altitude connection too. They’ve also been found in people who dove 1,000 feet and others who participated in an Everest exploration.

3. Vertical lines, however, are generally not such a big deal. Some people are more genetically prone to them than others, but they’re commonly associated with aging.

4. When people lack iron, their nails can turn spoon-like. Instead of curving down and covering the finger normally, they ’ll start to rise up on the sides and front, like the part of a spoon that holds liquid.

5. Kidney and liver problems can create “half-and-half nails”, where one part of the nail is white and the other part dark or pink, according to Derick.

Doctors note that because disease diagnosis is complex and some symptoms can be associated with different diseases, you should always see a medical professional if you are concerned about something you notice.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Doctors can tell us something about our health by looking at our nails.

B. We should see a doctor if we find nails in bad condition.

C. A famous doctor in the USA conducted an interesting research.

D. If we don’t want to get ill, we need to clean and stop biting our fingernails.

2.If we don’t eat well or regularly, our fingernails may ________.

A. become harder than normal nails.

B. become thinner than normal nails.

C. become “half-and-half” nails.

D. have horizontal and vertical lines.

3.Who will have horizontal lines on the nails ?

A. A cancer patient who has received normal treatment.

B. Hungry African children suffering from severe malnourishment.

C. An explorer who had reached Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province.

D. A patient with serious illness, like kidney and liver problems.

4.Which of the following best describes the nails that show people lack iron?

A. The nails are thinner and more likely to break.

B. The nails will curve down and cover the fingers.

C. The nails will start to rise up on the sides and front.

D. The nails will change their colours on the surface.
