Most people may think that people who write computer code (代码) must be good at Maths and logical (逻辑的) thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also important for writting code.

Software developers (开发者) in the USA have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code. Children can play the game on iPads.

Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game. According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical (分析的) skill,” said Dodge.

But the developers believe writing code is not just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”

Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge agrees. She said, “l think you’re going to have to understand the idea of coding will work well in the future.” Hu also explains that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works. He says by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.

1.What is Osmo Coding Jam designed for?

A.Training kids’ logical thinking. B.Helping kids learn to code fast.

C.Helping children learn Maths well. D.Helping kids become more creative.

2.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?

A.It needs to be improved. B.It can help kids play well.

C.It is of great help to today’s kids. D.It is not perfect in training kids’ analytical skills.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.If someone doesn’t learn Maths well, he or she can’t write code.

B.Creativity comes from writing code in daily life.

C.Writing code is just a skill which helps kids to analyze things well.

D.A lot of parents agree that software code will be useful for their kids’ future jobs.

4.The writer wrote this passage __________.

A.to tell how to learn to code well B.to tell about a new game for kids

C.to encourage kids to learn to study well D.to show the importance of creativity

Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time-is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.

What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.

Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.

Multitasking also has an effect on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When they were asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.

1. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean?

A. Want to buy.

B. Use at the same time.

C. Take the place of.

D. Search information from.

2.In Paragraph 3, the author points out that _______.

A. family members do not greet each other

B. family members do not eat at the family table

C. young people get on well with their families

D. young people hardly communicate with their family members

3.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.

B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.

C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.

D. Multitasking influences young people’s development seriously.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.

B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.

C. Educators feel that young people don’t need to improve their study skills.

D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children’s later study skills.

5.The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by ________.

A. providing special examples

B. following the natural time order

C. giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effects

D. comparing opinions from different worlds

Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?

Like humans, every dolphin has its own "name". The name is a special whistle (哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific (特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They "talk" to each other about a lot of things-such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one "speaks dolphin" yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.

Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun--just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.

Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them they get to eat some of the fish that escape (逃脱) from the net.

1.What is a dolphin's “name”?

A. It is a kind of game.

B. It is a body sign.

C. It is a dolphin’s age.

D. It is a specific sound.

2.What does the underlined word "others" refer to?

A. Other fishes.

B. Other people

C. Other dolphins

D. Other games

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Some scientists can understand dolphins system of sounds.

B. Dolphins probably help fishermen by using their body language.

C. Humans join dolphins' groups to get things we want.

D. Dolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelings.

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Dolphins can communicate with each other at birth.

B. Dolphins are social animals because they play together.

C. Dolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways.

D. Dolphins help humans do many things like catching fish.
