Very often, wh_en_we__see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “how much time do they actually spend on media(传播媒介) each day?”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this only includes media used for enjoyment.
Today’s you_ng_peo_ple seem to have become terrible multitaskers. They often use media when doing other
activities. _Some_w_atch TV when doing homework, some text (发信息), and some others listen to music. But what do young people think of this? Research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches have given a different answer: people who use media when doing school work did worse in tests.
Scientists d_id_res_earch among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot more notes than those who were texting. One similar research also found that students who texted when doing schoolwork had lower scores in general.
Accordi_ng_to__the research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed(消沉的). On the one hand, young people stay up late to check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, the light from the screen could influence their sleep as well. Some other researches also show that children who use media at night will go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime.
29. What is true about young people according to Paragraph 1?21教育名师原创作品
A. They spend many hours on media for fun every day.
B. They always sit alone for a long time doing nothing.2-1-c-n-j-y

30. The__under_lined word “multitasker” in Paragraph 2 means people who _________.
A. ask a lot of questions B. use different media for learning
C. have severa_l_mobi_le phones D. do several tasks at the same time
31. What will happen if kids spend much time using media at night?
A. They’ll become more worried. B. They’ll get more excited.
C. They’ll take__fewer_ notes in class. D. They’ll sleep much better.
32. What is the main purpose of this passage?

A local store is__remod_eling(改造), but not one of the changes is good for those of us who shop there. The passages(通道) have been changed with some going in one direction and others going in another. The passages have been pushed closer together, making it harder to get through them. All of the goods have been moved from their usual places as well.
It seems__that__all of these changes have been for the purpose of slowing the shoppers down so they will spend more time shopping and make more buys.
As I walke_d_thro_ugh the store today, no one was smiling and everyone was unhappy about it. The change that mostly let me down, however, was in the checkout passages. Only a few cashiers(收银员) were left working with most sections being changed into selfservice checkouts. It saddened me to see this. I knew that people were probably going to lose their jobs because of this change.
I got in a cash_ier_pa_ssage and patiently waited when I saw some other people trying to learn how the self-service machines worked. At that moment I decided not to use one even though I had to wait longer every time I shopped there.
When I finall_y_arri_ved at the front of the passage, I saw the cashier was someone I knew.
I asked her__how_h_er family was doing. She answered me with a warm and kind smile that deeply touched me. We talked happily when she bagged up my goods. I felt a friendship and a connection with her that warmed my heart. www.21-cn-jy.com
Machines c_an_do__a lot for us, but there are many things they can’t do. They can’t smile. They can’t love. They can’t touch a heart. Only we can do that. Only we can make life worth living. So it is time for us to realize that money isn’t more important than people, and machines aren’t more important than us. It is time for us to go out and communicate with others as much as possible.
33. How have the passages of the store been changed?
A. They have become longer. B. They have become narrower.
C. They have__been__built in a modern style. D. They have been built in the same direction.
34. What makes the writer the saddest?
A. The passages have been improved.
B. It’s difficult to get through the passages.
C. The goods have been changed their places.
D. Most cashiers have been displaced by self-service machines.
35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The writer wasn’t pleased with the cashier.
B. The writer waited for a long time to check out.
C. The cashier will not work for the store in the future.
D. Many people used the selfservice machines happily.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
36. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. People can live without machines.
B. The world will be better with machines.
C. Money is the most important thing for us.
D. We should have more contact with each other in the world.www-2-1-cnjy-com

Whenever I’_m_invi_ted to somebody’s house for the first time, I’ll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.【版权所有：21教育】
My own shelv_es_are_ a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological(按时间顺序的) tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Water-ship Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school—Nineteen EightyFour, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange.
Finally, we c_ome_ou_t of fulltime education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.
If you__point_ed to any book on my shelves, I could say the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.
Book collec_tions__tell so much about a person. It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange our books. Some want to stay with their books as much as they can, and put plenty of books in every room. Others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply on their floors. Also, getting on with them is such a personal thing, different from each other.
Each h_ome_ha_s a story to tell through the way they live with their books. It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.
37. The boo_ks_on__the writer’s own shelves are organized according to________.

C. the wri_ter???s__personal interests D. the time of the writer’s life

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious spirits. 42
