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 bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie 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.
( )24. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
( )25. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
( )26. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
( )27. What may the passage talk about next
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Consequences of phubbing.

Bryan Laubscher, one of the world's leading astrophysicists, who study the physics and chemistry of the stars, planets, etc, is developing an invention called the Mars Elevator. To form a picture of this, you may want to imagine the story of Jack and the Beanstalk . This is the story of a boy who grew a beanstalk that reached the heavens. Jack climbed the stalk and entered another world. The space elevator is similar but of course much more high-tech and better yet, it is real!
Astrophysicists are designing a steel-like cable (缆绳) that will be connected to a platform (平台) in the ocean. This cable is designed to be pulled up into space, where it will then be connected to a space station. People will be able to travel up and down this elevator by the year 2030. There will be a number of space elevators so that both tourists and businesses can travel into space. To get there, space tourists will simply travel to the nearest ocean elevator entrance. The trip up into space will take about a week. When they arrive, space tourists will be inside a space station and will be able to stay there. There are other alternatives, too. Astronomers think it will be easy to travel from the space station to the moon, where space tourists can stay in a moon hotel — which is now being designed.
The future looks bright for space tourists. It also looks bright for industry and scientists. Mining companies will travel to space to mine elements (元素) that are rare on Earth. Energy scientists will travel to space to set up space solar panels, which will collect a huge amount of energy from the sun and shoot it back to Earth where we can use it to heat our homes and meet our energy needs.
( )28. What does Jack and the Beanstalk help readers understand
A. The difficulty of building space elevators.
B. What material space elevators would use.
C. What space elevators would look like.
D. The reason for inventing space elevators.
( )29. What can we infer about space elevators
A. They're accepting pre-paid bookings.
B. They'll be available in the near future.
C. They're mainly used for scientific study.
D. They'll offer people a seven-day round trip.
( )30. What does the underlined word “alternatives” in Para. 2 mean
A. Advantages. B. Purposes. C. Entries. D. Choices.
( )31. What is the author's attitude towards space elevators
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Positive.
D
Students decide to take a job while being in university because of two reasons: on the one hand, they need money; on the other hand, they want to experience something new and they want to see what working means.
But is it good to take a job while you are a university student There are both advantages and disadvantages if we were to answer this question. If we were to think about the advantages, we could mention the ones I have just discussed. Having a job at an early age helps us gain experience, which will be very useful to our later life. We may become financially independent and don’t need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.
However, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study. If they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night they will feel tired the next day. They may choose to stay at home, resting. What’s worse, some students may even get bored with study.
Well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are cases when well-prepared students take a part-time job but at the same time they make time for study, too. And they have good results. Their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. Anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student.
( )32. The writer believes that some college students work ______.
A. for pleasure B. to learn something practical
C. to support their family D. for further education.
( )33. What are the benefits for college students who take a job according to the passage
A. Prepare them for their future careers
B. Make more friends
C. Win free journeys
D. Have complete independence from their family
( )34. Taking a job may cause students to ______.
A. be absent from their exams
B. receive punishment from their teachers
C. be in conflict with their roommates
D. lose their interest in their studies
( )35. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that college students ______ .
A. can keep a balance between work and study
B. should not take a job
C. had better take a part-time job during vacation
D. should learn by doing

How to Support a Friend Struggling with Their Mental Health
Maybe you've noticed a friend is opening up to you for the first time about their anxiety. 36 . Here is what you can do when supporting someone who's struggling with their mental health.
37
Instead of making assumptions about what would be helpful to your loved one，ask them directly, “How can I support you ” Remember what you may need when you're struggling may not be what someone else needs when having a hard time.
Offer to help with everyday tasks
Many people struggling with their mental health may find it difficult to make basic decisions. Instead of using a common phrase “I'm here if you need me”，try to be specific about what you're offering. 38
