W: I didn’t. Two weeks of planning, and nothing. My mom always wants the house to be clean. I don’t want her to know I had a mouse here. She would be so uncomfortable.
M: Well, the traps usually work if you put peanut butter in them. You can take the mouse out to a field and let it go.

M: Well, how about a trap that has glue on it You could still let it go later.
W: I tried that, too, but I think this is a very small mouse. It didn’t weigh enough to get stuck.
M: What are you going to do
W: Well, I have one day to catch it. If not, I’ll have to think of a story to tell mom. She’s only here for seven days. Maybe I can start talking about how I lost my little pet mouse.

【原文】Happy Laba Festival! The Laba Festival is celebrated on the 8th day of the last month of the old Chinese calendar. This day is marked by eating a special porridge. At the oldest temple in Beijing, free Laba porridge is handed out. Although the weather is very cold, crowds of people have come here to try it. The two most important traditions associated with the Laba Festival are praying for personal well-being and eating Laba porridge. The Laba Festival reminds people that Chinese New Year is just around the corner. The traditional recipe is a mix of 8 things like rice, red beans, and nuts. It takes about 8 hours to make. But the porridge in the temple here has many more, including fruit, seeds, and black beans. Porridge used to be handed out to the poor during other periods in Chinese history. Though most people today are here for the experience, the act of sharing is still a powerful symbol of charity. In ancient China, Chinese people offered gifts to their dead loved ones during the last month of the old calendar. This rich history is an important reason the tradition has been preserved in modern-day China. Stanley Lee, CCTV

★ #ChefsChallenge!
Love cooking Join famous chefs with this online challenge—cook, have fun and share your best healthy recipes!
When it comes to food, it’s difficult to match East Asia & Pacific in terms of variety and tastiness. From wontons to dumplings, from spicy fish to noodle soups, East Asia & Pacific’s amazing food culture is a central part of life for millions of people and indeed tourists from across the world.
However, changes in diet and lifestyle in recent years have sadly destroyed traditional food cultures, and the health of millions of people. Cheap “fast food” and unhealthy snacks that are high in sugar, salt and fat are now all too common but offer little nutrition.
★A new challenge
Today, there are more than 25 million of malnourished children living in the region, but the picture is changing. While the number of stunted (发育不良) children is slowly falling in many countries, overweight and obesity are growing, and at a much faster rate.
In many countries, three forms of malnutrition—undernutrition, hidden hunger and overweight-co-exist. A family may have an overweight mother and a stunted child. Or a child may be both stunted or too short and overweight. Unhealthy diets are a major cause of all forms of malnutrition.
★Join us!
One way to slow this tide is to reconnect families and young people with food. That’s why chefs from across the region are taking part in the #ChefsChallenge, asking you to show off your cooking skills. Get involved today by sharing your recipes with videos, photos or any other creative ways on social media using #ChefsChallenge and tagging UNICEF East Asia Pacific on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.
21. What has badly affected the traditional food culture in East Asia & Pacific
A. Western cooks’ arriving.
B. People’s turning to unhealthy food.
C. Tourists’ bringing new recipes.
D. Overweight children’s growing in number.
22. What can we infer about “a malnourished child”
A. He is in a poor state of health.
B. He is shorter than other kids.
C. He has an overweight parent.
D. He prefers eating at home.
23. What is the purpose of “#ChefsChallenge”
A. To introduce excellent Asian cooks online.
B. To help ordinary people challenge professional cooks.
C. To reconnect people with tasty and nutritious food.
D To encourage family and friends to get together online.
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了网络的厨艺展示平台#ChefsChallenge，号召大家在网络上展示厨艺。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。由#ChefsChallenge!下的第三段“However, changes in diet and lifestyle in recent years have sadly destroyed traditional food cultures, and the health of millions of people. Cheap “fast food” and unhealthy snacks that are high in sugar, salt and fat are now all too common but offer little nutrition.”（然而，近年来饮食和生活方式的改变不幸地破坏了传统饮食文化和数百万人的健康。廉价的“快餐”和不健康的高糖、高盐、高脂肪的零食现在都太普遍了，但它们提供的营养却很少。）可知，是人们现在转向不健康的食物（廉价的“快餐”和不健康的高糖、高盐、高脂肪的零食）严重影响了东亚和太平洋地区的传统饮食文化。故选B项。
【22题详解】

B
Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. ’’Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,’’ says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them."
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return
Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要对孩子在家里做家务到底要不得到报酬进行讨论，进而要求读者表达他们的观点。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time”可知，许多孩子在家里帮忙做家务，比如清空洗碗机，把衣服收起来，然后把垃圾拿出去。在交流中，有些孩子得到津贴或其他奖励，如额外的计算机时间。可推知，作者是通过陈述事实来开始这一段文章的。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Susie said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house,”可知，Susie 说“家是每个人的生活空间。 让孩子们明白我们都有责任，这很重要。根据Susie Walton所说，孩子们有分担家务的责任。故选C项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容特别是开头句Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money其他人认为，得到现金津贴或其他奖励能激励孩子做家务，这也教会他们如何在现实生活中工作赚钱。可知，第三段主要说的是奖励孩子做家务的好处。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段和最后一段What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return Write a 200-word response. 可知，你觉得怎么样？ 孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗？ 还是说孩子们应该在家里帮忙，而不是得到任何回报？写一个200字的回复。所以判断出作者写这篇文章的目的是邀请读者发表意见。故选A。
C
A Russian natural gas tanker has completed an experimental round trip along the Northern Sea Route (NSR)—the first time the path across the Arctic has been made at this time of year. It returned to the Russian gas station at Sabetta on February 19. The voyage by the Christophe de Margerie tanker through the ice is the latest visual indicator of climate change in the cold region.
The tanker set out from a Chinese port on January 27 after delivering its cargo. It entered the Northern Sea Route, which traverses Russia’s north coast. A few days later near Cape Dezhnev, it was met by the Russian nuclear icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy (50 Years of Victory). Together they completed the 2, 500-nautical-mile voyage through the ice in 11 days and 10 hours.
The ship managed to complete the first leg of the trip from Russia to China without an icebreaker. Both of the journeys broke records for winter navigation due to the changing climate in the Arctic allowing passage through thinner ice. Using the Northern Sea Route lets shippers in Russia and other countries avoid a much longer southern journey around Europe, the Middle East and all of southern Asia, saving millions of dollars.
The ships encountered no multi-year buildup of old ice on the route, and the deepest ice was about 5 feet thick. However, meteorologist and journalist Eric Holthaus called that a clear indicator of “a climate emergency”.
Last May, Christophe de Margerie became the first large-capacity cargo ship to complete an eastbound transit of the Northern Sea Route, two months earlier in the year than the journey traditionally made.
“As a result of the early Northern Sea Route voyage completed by Christophe de Margerie in May 2020, as well as the current NSR voyage, the navigation in the Eastern part of the Arctic was practically doubled,” Eric Holthaus said. He noted that for decades the transit route along that part of the NSR had typically remained closed by ice from November until July.
28. Which factor contributed most to Christophe de Margerie’s successful trip
A. The ideal equipment. B. The ocean current.
C. The nuclear power. D. The climate change.
29. What does the underlined word “encountered” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Picked up B. Prepared for C. Came across D. Depended on
30. What’s Eric Holthaus’ attitude to the gas tanker’s trip across the Arctic
A. doubtful B. concerned C. critical D. patient
31. How long can the NSR route be used by cargo ships now
A. 2 months. B. 3 months. C. 4 months. D. 6 months.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了俄罗斯油轮运输船Christophe de Margerie号近日首次在2月穿过北冰洋的海冰，彰显出北海航线潜在的巨大商业价值，但也为北极地区的加速变暖和持续恶化的生态危机带来新的证据。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The voyage by the Christophe de Margerie tanker through the ice is the latest visual indicator of climate change in the cold region.(Christophe de Margerie号油轮穿越冰层的航行是寒冷地区气候变化的最新视觉指标)”以及第三段中“Both of the journeys broke records for winter navigation due to the changing climate in the Arctic(由于北极地区的气候变化，两次航行都打破了冬季航行记录)”可推知，Christophe de Margerie号在这个季节成功地跨越北海航线主要归于气候变化导致北极圈内的多年冰层融化。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A Russian natural gas tanker has completed an experimental round trip along the Northern Sea Route (NSR)—the first time the path across the Arctic has been made at this time of year.(一艘俄罗斯天然气运输船完成了沿着北海航线的试验性往返航行——这是今年这个时候首次穿越北极)”；第三段中“The ship managed to complete the first leg of the trip from Russia to China without an icebreaker. (这艘船在没有破冰船的情况下完成了从俄罗斯到中国的第一段旅程)”以及画线词后文“no multi-year buildup of old ice on the route, and the deepest ice was about 5 feet thick”可知，这艘船穿越了冰封的北海航线，成功完成航行，可知这些船在航线上没有遇到多年积累的旧冰，最深的冰大约有5英尺厚，故画线词的意思是“遇见，碰到”。A. Picked up捡起；B. Prepared for准备；C. Came across遇见；D. Depended on取决于。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, meteorologist and journalist Eric Holthaus called that a clear indicator of “a climate emergency”. (然而，气象学家兼记者Eerice Holthaus称这是‘气候紧急情况’的明确指标)”可推知，这次航行的成功让Eric Holthaus非常担忧。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“the navigation in the Eastern part of the Arctic was practically doubled (在北极东部的航行几乎翻了一番)”以及“He noted that for decades the transit route along that part of the NSR had typically remained closed by ice from November until July. (他指出，几十年来，北海航线的过境路线通常从11月到次年7月一直被冰封锁)”可知，几十年来北海航线的通航时间都是8、9、10三个月份，但现在翻了一番，变为了6个月。故选D。
D
The other day, my sister and I were sitting in the restaurant, trying to have a conversation, but her children, four-year-old Willow and seven-year-old Luca, would not stop fighting. The arguments——over a fork, or who had more water in a glass--never stopped.
Then my sister reached into her handbag, produced two shiny iPads, and handed one to each child. Suddenly, the two were quiet. They sat playing games and watching videos, and we continued with our conversation.
After our meal, as my sister stuffed the iPads back into her bag, she said, “I don’t want to give them the iPads at the dinner table, but if they keep them occupied for an hour so we can eat in peace, I often just hand them over. I am afraid that it’s bad for them. I do worry that it makes them think it’s OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future.”
Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, Los Angeles says that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli(刺激物), like iPads and smartphone screen, and if people spend too much time on one technology, and less time interacting(互动)with people like parents at the dinner table, that could prevent the development of certain communication skills.
“Conversations with each other are the way children learn to have conversations with themselves, and learn how to be alone,” said Sherry Turkle, a professor of science, technology and society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She fears that children who do not learn real interactions, which often have imperfections, will come to know a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy(亲密) without risk. However, they need to be able to gather themselves and know who they are. So someday they can form a relationship with another person without a panic of being alone. “If you don’t teach your children to be alone, they will only know how to be lonely,” she said.
32. What did Willow and Luca fight about
A Little things. B. iPads.
C. Delicious food. D. Interesting things.
33. How did the author’s sister feel about offering children iPads
A. She loved doing it very much B. She was uncertain about its effects.
C. She felt it was worth a try. D. She felt surprised at its effect.
34. According to Dr. Small, what should parents do
A. Provide their children with various technologies.
B. Teach their children communication skills.
C. Limit their children’s screen time.
D. Talk to their children at the dinner table.
35. What is Sherry Turkle worried
A. Children are afraid of taking risks.
B. Children try to escape from the real world.
C. Children can’t deal with time when they have to be alone.
D. Children can’t live without electronic devices.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过实例说明了使用电子产品对孩子的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The arguments——over a fork, or who had more water in a glass--never stopped. (争论——关于叉子，或者谁的杯子里的水更多——从来没有停止过。)”可知，Willow和Luca因为一些小东西而争吵。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中作者的姐妹所说“I don’t want to give them the iPads at the dinner table, but if they keep them occupied for an hour so we can eat in peace, I often just hand them over. I am afraid that it’s bad for them. I do worry that it makes them think it’s OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future. (我不想在餐桌上给他们iPads，但如果iPads能占用他们一个小时，这样我们就可以安静地吃饭，我通常就会把iPads给他们。我担心这对他们不好。我确实担心这会让他们认为将来在餐桌上使用电子产品是可以的。)”可以推知，她不确定提供给孩子iPads会带来什么影响。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, Los Angeles says that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli(刺激物), like iPads and smartphone screen, and if people spend too much time on one technology, and less time interacting(互动)with people like parents at the dinner table, that could prevent the development of certain communication skills. (洛杉矶加利福尼亚大学长寿中心主任Gary Small博士说，大脑对刺激非常敏感，比如iPad和智能手机屏幕，如果人们在一项技术上花费太多的时间，而与餐桌上的父母互动的时间就更少了，这可能会妨碍某些沟通技能的发展。)”可以推知，Dr. Small认为，父母应该限制孩子看屏幕的时间。故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She fears that children who do not learn real interactions, which often have imperfections, will come to know a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy(亲密) without risk. (她担心，那些没有学会真实互动的孩子，他们的互动往往是不完美的，他们将会了解一个完美、闪亮的屏幕给他们一种没有风险的虚假亲密感的世界。)”以及Sherry Turkle所说“If you don’t teach your children to be alone, they will only know how to be lonely. (如果你不教孩子如何独处，他们只知道如何孤独。)”可知，Sherry Turkle担心，孩子们没有学会真实的互动，无法处理他们必须独处的时间。故选C项。

They failed to________ on the matter, which________ in their relationship.
【答案】 ①. see eye to eye with each other ②. led to a breakdown
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。表示“相互看法一致”为动词固定短语see eye to eye with each other；根据前文failed to可知，用动词原形和不定式符号构成不定式短语，fail to do sth是固定短语；根据前文failed可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式，表示“导致破裂”动词短语为led to a breakdown，breakdown“（关系）破裂”用作可数名词，单数由不定冠词a限定。故空1填see eye to eye with each other；空2填led to a breakdown。

【详解】考查动词不定式和短语。“充分发挥你的潜能”为“ fully realize your potential”，副词fully修饰动词realize，realize后接potential作宾语，动词不定式作目的状语。 it is important for you to do sth“对某人来说做某事是重要的”，it作形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语，“利用”为“ make the most of/take advantage of/make use of ”,我们学校的资源为“ our school resources”。故填fully realize your potential，to make the most of/take advantage of/make use of our school resources。

As teenagers in the 21st century, not only should we ________, but also we should________ the society and the country.
【答案】 ①. be responsible for our behavior ②. make contributions to
【解析】
【详解】考查谓语动词。表示“对自己的行为负责”为be responsible for our behavior，be responsible for“为……负责”是固定搭配，动词原形和前文should一起构成复合谓语，因主语为we，用对应的形容词性物主代词our，修饰名词behavior；表示“为……做出贡献”为动词短语make contributions to，动词原形和前文should一起构成复合谓语。故空1填be responsible for our behavior；空2填make contributions to。
75. 如果你知道你有错，那就主动向你的父母因为你的所作所为道歉。
If you know that you are ________, then offer to________ what you have done.
【答案】 ①. in the wrong ②. make an apology to your parents for /apologize to your parents for
【解析】
【详解】考查短语和动词不定式。根据汉语提示可知，有错为“ be in the wrong”，“因某事而向某人道歉”为apologize /make an apology to sb for sth。 to为动词不定式标志，后接动词原形。故填in the wrong，make an apology to your parents for /apologize to your parents for。

★ #ChefsChallenge!
Love cooking Join famous chefs with this online challenge—cook, have fun and share your best healthy recipes!
When it comes to food, it’s difficult to match East Asia & Pacific in terms of variety and tastiness. From wontons to dumplings, from spicy fish to noodle soups, East Asia & Pacific’s amazing food culture is a central part of life for millions of people and indeed tourists from across the world.
However, changes in diet and lifestyle in recent years have sadly destroyed traditional food cultures, and the health of millions of people. Cheap “fast food” and unhealthy snacks that are high in sugar, salt and fat are now all too common but offer little nutrition.
★A new challenge
Today there are more than 25 million of malnourished children living in the region, but the picture is changing. While the number of stunted (发育不良) children is slowly falling in many countries, overweight and obesity are growing, and at a much faster rate.
In many countries, three forms of malnutrition—undernutrition, hidden hunger and overweight-co-exist. A family may have an overweight mother and a stunted child. Or a child may be both stunted or too short and overweight. Unhealthy diets are a major cause of all forms of malnutrition.
★Join us!
One way to slow this tide is to reconnect families and young people with food. That’s why chefs from across the region are taking part in the #ChefsChallenge, asking you to show off your cooking skills. Get involved today by sharing your recipes with videos, photos or any other creative ways on social media using #ChefsChallenge and tagging UNICEF East Asia Pacific on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.
21. What has badly affected the traditional food culture in East Asia & Pacific
A. Western cooks’ arriving.
B. People’s turning to unhealthy food.
C. Tourists’ bringing new recipes.
D. Overweight children’s growing in number.
22. What can we infer about “a malnourished child”
A. He is in a poor state of health.
B. He is shorter than other kids.
C. He has an overweight parent.
D. He prefers eating at home.
23. What is the purpose of “#ChefsChallenge”
A. To introduce excellent Asian cooks online.
B. To help ordinary people challenge professional cooks.
C. To reconnect people with tasty and nutritious food.
D. To encourage family and friends to get together online.
B
Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. ’’Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,’’ says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them."
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return
Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.

A Russian natural gas tanker has completed an experimental round trip along the Northern Sea Route (NSR)—the first time the path across the Arctic has been made at this time of year. It returned to the Russian gas station at Sabetta on February 19. The voyage by the Christophe de Margerie tanker through the ice is the latest visual indicator of climate change in the cold region.
The tanker set out from a Chinese port on January 27 after delivering its cargo. It entered the Northern Sea Route, which traverses Russia’s north coast. A few days later near Cape Dezhnev, it was met by the Russian nuclear icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy (50 Years of Victory). Together they completed the 2, 500-nautical-mile voyage through the ice in 11 days and 10 hours.
The ship managed to complete the first leg of the trip from Russia to China without an icebreaker. Both of the journeys broke records for winter navigation due to the changing climate in the Arctic allowing passage through thinner ice. Using the Northern Sea Route lets shippers in Russia and other countries avoid a much longer southern journey around Europe, the Middle East and all of southern Asia, saving millions of dollars.
The ships encountered no multi-year buildup of old ice on the route, and the deepest ice was about 5 feet thick. However, meteorologist and journalist Eric Holthaus called that a clear indicator of “a climate emergency”.
Last May, Christophe de Margerie became the first large-capacity cargo ship to complete an eastbound transit of the Northern Sea Route, two months earlier in the year than the journey traditionally made.
“As a result of the early Northern Sea Route voyage completed by Christophe de Margerie in May 2020, as well as the current NSR voyage, the navigation in the Eastern part of the Arctic was practically doubled,” Eric Holthaus said. He noted that for decades the transit route along that part of the NSR had typically remained closed by ice from November until July.
28. Which factor contributed most to Christophe de Margerie’s successful trip
A. The ideal equipment. B. The ocean current.
C. The nuclear power. D. The climate change.
29. What does the underlined word “encountered” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Picked up B. Prepared for C. Came across D. Depended on
30. What’s Eric Holthaus’ attitude to the gas tanker’s trip across the Arctic
A. doubtful B. concerned C. critical D. patient
31. How long can the NSR route be used by cargo ships now
A. 2 months. B. 3 months. C. 4 months. D. 6 months.

The other day, my sister and I were sitting in the restaurant, trying to have a conversation, but her children, four-year-old Willow and seven-year-old Luca, would not stop fighting. The arguments——over a fork, or who had more water in a glass--never stopped.
Then my sister reached into her handbag, produced two shiny iPads, and handed one to each child. Suddenly, the two were quiet. They sat playing games and watching videos, and we continued with our conversation.
After our meal, as my sister stuffed the iPads back into her bag, she said, “I don’t want to give them the iPads at the dinner table, but if they keep them occupied for an hour so we can eat in peace, I often just hand them over. I am afraid that it’s bad for them. I do worry that it makes them think it’s OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future.”
Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, Los Angeles says that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli(刺激物), like iPads and smartphone screen, and if people spend too much time on one technology, and less time interacting(互动)with people like parents at the dinner table, that could prevent the development of certain communication skills.
“Conversations with each other are the way children learn to have conversations with themselves, and learn how to be alone,” said Sherry Turkle, a professor of science, technology and society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She fears that children who do not learn real interactions, which often have imperfections, will come to know a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy(亲密) without risk. However, they need to be able to gather themselves and know who they are. So someday they can form a relationship with another person without a panic of being alone. “If you don’t teach your children to be alone, they will only know how to be lonely,” she said.
32. What did Willow and Luca fight about
A. Little things. B. iPads.
C. Delicious food. D. Interesting things.
33. How did the author’s sister feel about offering children iPads
A. She loved doing it very much B. She was uncertain about its effects.
C. She felt it was worth a try. D. She felt surprised at its effect.
34. According to Dr. Small, what should parents do
A. Provide their children with various technologies.
B. Teach their children communication skills.
C. Limit their children’s screen time.
D. Talk to their children at the dinner table.
35. What is Sherry Turkle worried
A. Children are afraid of taking risks.
B Children try to escape from the real world.
C. Children can’t deal with time when they have to be alone.
D. Children can’t live without electronic devices.
