Covering an area of 972,000 square kilometers, Greenland National Park is one of the largest parks in the world, including both the highest parts of the Northern Hemisphere’s largest ice cap and the world’s northernmost land area.
For thousands of years, various Inuit (因纽特人的) cultures have lived and survived here thanks to the Arctic species of animals. Today, the hunters from Ittoqgortoormiit are the only ones who have regular access to the area. They go on dogsled (狗拉雪橇) trips and hunt in the National Park. The only people who live in the vast area are a total of about 40 people in five settlements.
●The Sirius Patrol has its main base at Daneborg in Northeast Greenland. The Patrol is responsible for monitoring the area by dogsled. They also have to control exploration and protection rules in the National Park.
●Mestersvig is hiring people, and especially in summer, there is a lively activity in the old mining (采矿) town.
●The weather stations at Station North and in Denmark’s Harbour are also staffed. The main task of the staff in Denmark’s Harbour is to launch a weather balloon twice a day with measuring instruments.
●Zackenberg Research Station is about 450 kilometers north of Ittoggortoormiit. Research is conducted here into the effects of climate change. The station is located in a high Arctic climate area that reacts earlier than other areas to changes in global weather.
Each year the National Park is the goal for a growing number of scientific explorers. Many also come to explore the tracks of ancient Inuit settlements.

While many parents worry their children spend too much time playing computer games, Kelcey is happy to see her son Owain turn on his computer. Since Owain had ADHD, the family have taken him to see doctors to help him deal with everyday life tasks. Owain also tried the medicine, but had to stop after the drugs worsened his pain. With ADHD continuing to influence Owain’s school performance, Kelcey was hoping for any other choice. Help came in the end from what seemed very strange — a computer game called EndeavorRx.
EndeavorRx was the first such game to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of ADHD in children. Now it’s only available on prescription (处方) from doctors. When doctors prescribe it, the child’s parents are sent a link that is needed before the game can be played. Though EndeavorRx looks very similar to other games, it’s been developed to improve areas of the brain that play a key role in attention function.
EndeavorRx trains a child with ADHD to do several things together and take no notice of things that take their attention away. It also measures their performance and changes the difficulty of the game in real time according to the user’s needs. Eddie Martucci, CEO of Akili, says, “These can be very difficult to get through traditional means like taking a pill. But it turns out that playing EndeavorRx can directly make parts of the brain function active.”
Fellow UK scientist Lee Chambers says while the use of such video games in the treatment of mental health conditions is still in the early stages, it appears to have potential (潜力). “Playing a game can avoid the feeling like we are being tested,” he says. “These types of mental health games can follow changes in the information that they collect over time. Given this, they have the potential to improve people’s health in a new way.”;
8. What makes Owain’s mother pleased
A.Her son’s good school performance.
B.A helpful way to fight her son’s disease.
C.The improvement in her son’s computer skills.
D.The great effect of medicine on her son’s disease.;
9. What is mentioned about EndeavorRx
A.It includes very simple game tasks.
B.It should be played by parents first.
C.It can only be used with the doctor’s agreement.
D.It is popular among people with mental problems.;
10. What does the author want to show us in Paragraph 3
A.Traditional treatment fails to hold kids’ attention.
B.EndeavorRx has advantages over traditional treatment.
C.Video games are less harmful to kids than parents have imagined.
D.EndeavorRx will attract people wishing to improve productivity at work.;
11. What is Lee Chambers’s opinion of mental health games
A.They have a bright future.
B.They should go through more tests.
C.They will replace normal treatment soon.
D.They should be played with fewer limitations.
二、七选五阅读
In today’s world, technology is a part of daily life. In order to keep civilization hand in hand with technological advances, and to understand the connected future they will have, children in schools have to be taught technical skills. But how can teachers integrate(使……融入)technology into their classroom Here are a couple of ways.
Teach acceptance of connected learning. In the information age, it’s only right to teach kids how to jump at connected learning. 12 For example, a tablet PC could be used in art class to draw pictures or even signs for the school.
Use a video chat system to teleconference. The idea of pen pals can be strengthened by video chat systems. 13 In this situation, children will learn how to share experiences and build new relationships from a distance. Teleconferencing is a great way to teach children about teleconferencing etiquette(礼仪). 14
Develop a class wiki or blog. In order to help get your students active in class lessons, you can use a blog or wiki to make them comment on lessons, topics and current events. Students should also be allowed to create new posts about news or their thoughts. 15
Create a podcast(播客)for your class. Technology is always about being seen. 16 It can also be used to be heard. With a classroom podcast, you can read passages from a textbook or a novel or schedule discussions on a certain topic that’s in line with your curriculum. This will teach broadcasting skills, speaking skills and critical thinking skills.
A.This includes using technology as a tool or a way to learn new concepts.
B.You can also upload videos to a private channel.
C.These systems can also be used to connect with students from other classroom that are far away.
D.This will show them how to solve complex math problems.
E.This is a great way to improve creative writing.
F.However, it’s wrong to think it’s only about being seen.
G.For example, you can teach children when it’s alright to connect and how to act when on camera.

The activities are arranged on every Friday evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., each of which introduces different Chinese festivals and the origins, backgrounds and customs of them.

28. Suddenly, a car pulled over in front of her. A smiling face signed her to get on. Although Linda felt nervous, the smile on the driver’s face made her settled. After an explanation the driver offered to take her home since they were on the same way. Using the driver’s phone to inform her father, they were on the way. While chatting, Linda knew that the driver has two sons working overseas and he just lost his work. Although days were tough, the driver didn’t give up but was still positive and thankful to life. When they arrived at Linda’s house, Linda invited the driver to enter the house for a cup of tea and pay him to express her gratitude. But the driver declined and left.
On Thanksgiving Day, Linda decided to do something to show her gratitude to the driver again. Linda talked all about the driver with her father and asked her father to let the driver work in his company. The father agreed. Then Linda wrote the driver a letter, with a line reading: For Your Kindness.
