Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report's key findings, "the proportion(比例)who say they 'hardly ever' read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today".
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近)ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.

二、语篇解读 本文为记叙文。Sarah现在是一名在校生, 她还是一名兼职模特。她的父亲建议她放弃学业做一名专职模特, 但她却做出了不同的选择。
1. resting 考查非谓语动词 固定结构spend some time(in)doing sth. 花费时间做某事。
2. a 考查冠词。句意:相反, 她现在在纽约作为一名模特每天挣6, 500英镑。model为可数名词, 此处表示泛指, 故填冠词a.
3. has been told was told考查时态和语态。句意 Sarah被告知她可以成为英国的一名超模新星, 第二年就可以有一百万美元的收入。根据语境可知Sarah与tell之间为被动关系, 故用被动语态。此处既可以用一般过去时态表示过去发生的动作, 也可以用现在完成时态, 表示过去发生的动作对现在的影响。
4. who 考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句, 先行词为Sarah, 故填关系代词who.
5. t0 prove 考查非谓语动词。want to do sth. 想要做某事。
6. education 考查词性转换。形容词性物主代词后面跟名词. 故填education.
7. invitations 考查名词复数。根据several可知, 此处应该填复数形式。
8.in 考查介词, a degree in. . 某专业的学位”, 专业前用介词in.
9. comes 考查动词时态。由上下文语境以及时间状语at the moment可知, 此处应该为一般现在时态, 主语为第三人称单数, 故填comes.
10.certainly 考查副词。设空处在句中作状语修饰形容词fun, 故填副词。
