It's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home.

Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell

phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"

Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV

and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s

no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute

using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a

recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending

more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than

seven and a half hours a day on average, th e study found.

The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria

Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have

cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.

Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a

chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV

on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.

Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the

kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out

with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it.

Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to

music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important

to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says

Rideout.

With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology

use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. "

But parents might have to step in sometimes. "

21.Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?

A. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.

B. Because more electronic devices are available to them.

C. Because they have less other activities.

D. Because they have less homework to do.

22.It is known from the passage that ____.

A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night text

B. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past

five years

C. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their

studies

D. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devices

23.Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the

passage?

A. Playing video games on the Internet.

B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.

C. Watching TV while using the computer.

D. Listening to music while relaxing.

24.The underlined phrase "in check" in the last paragraph can be replaced by

"____".

A. in order B. in control C. in store D. in sight

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great

speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming

horrible ．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers

behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the

driver’s seat is another matter altogether.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the

most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when

forced to face rude driving ．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long

way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod

or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an

atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But

such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays

don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous ．Typical examples

are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the

path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for

encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It

always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of

these grannies (奶奶).

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help

if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages

that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even

learn to drive ．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car

ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users ．It is high

time for all of us to take this message to heart.

25. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .

A．road conditions B．the behavior of the drivers

C．the speed of modern life D．the large number of cars

26.In the writer’s opinion, .

A．unskillful drivers should be punished

B．strict traffic rules are badly needed

C．drivers should show road politeness properly

D. drivers should avoid traffic jams

27.The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .

A．politeness and impoliteness

B．good manners and bad manners

C．willingness to give in to each other’s wishes

D．offering help to others as much as possible

28．What is the best title of the passage?

A．Traffic Problems B．Road Politeness

C．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad Drivers

Climate change，pollution，overuse of water and development are killing

some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangtze．India’s

Ganges and Africa’s Nile．WWF said on Tuesday．At the global launch of its

report “World’s Top 10 Rivers at Risk”，the group said many rivers could dry

out. affecting hundreds of millions of people and killing unique aquatic(水生

的)life．

“If these rivers die，millions will lose their livelihoods，biodiversity(生物多样

性)will be destroyed on a massive scale，there will be less fresh water and

agriculture，resulting in less food security，”said．Rayi Singh，secretary—

general of WWF—India．The report,launched ahead of“World Water

Day”today，also

cited the Rio Grande in．the United States，the Mekong and Indus in

Asia，Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—

Darling as in need of greater protection．

Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says about half of

the available supply is already being used up．Dams have destroyed habitats

and cut rivers off from their flood plains．while climate change could affect the

seasonal water flows that feed them，the report said．Fish populations，the top

source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of

communities worldwide，are also being threatened, it found．The Yangtze

basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy
