Ninety­five percent of American families are now online, with adults spending averagely five hours a day at home on the computer, which greatly influences their life, according to a new study. Yes, we’re connecting more with friends, but we’re also having dinner quickly so we can update our Facebook status. Does your life suffer from too much time spent online, and do you properly protect your family’s identity when you share their information online? Here’s how to take control of them. According to Sherry Turkle, professor of psychology at MIT, many people use their computers to avoid the messiness of real life. It’s difficult to refuse a friend, but it’s easy to send out an e­mail to do that. When you find yourself hiding behind your screen, make an effort to reconnect with people face to face. “It’s not because the technology is bad,” says Turkle. “It’s a matter of figuring out its place.” Proud parents can’t help posting photos of their kids. But publicly sharing your kids’ information, such as your child’s full name, birth date, and place of residence could put him in danger. To avoid the risk, invite the people you know well to view the photos on password­protected (加密的) websites such as Flickr and Snapfish. If you use Facebook, create a group of your inner circle specially for sharing photos and news of your kids. Need a handy way to measure your family’s online habits? Check out the family plan on rescuetime. com. It tracks how each member of your family spends time online, and it shows the data by hour, day, and week. The website, which also offers personal plans, even allows you to block distracting (分心的) websites from your loved ones and yourself. If reaching for your phone to check for messages and e­mails has become an uncontrollable habit, try this trick. Keep your devices on but turn off every message reminding, vibration (振动), and so on. Check for updates only when you finish a task. 【1】Sherry Turkle probably agrees that ________. A.Internet is just a tool for people B.people have to know their social status C.technology can help improve friendship D.going online helps people lead a happier life 【2】How are family members’ online habits tracked by rescuetime.com? A.By offering plans and blocking unsafe websites. B.By blocking unwanted contact and information. C.By tracking their online time and sorting out data. D.By making plans and storing collected data. 【3】What can be the best title for the text? A.Important Tips on Protecting Online Information B.How to Take Control of Families’ Technology Time C.Key Advice on How to Avoid Unsafe Websites D.How to Break Away from Bad Online Habits

My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there's something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics (假肢). This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band — not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade, but probably because my body was different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off! Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my MP3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.” Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure (小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life. 【1】In what way is Sara different from other kids? A.There’s something wrong with her body. B.She knows how to play many instruments. C.She learned to play the drums at a very early age. D.She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours. 【2】When invited to join the marching band, Sara________. A.said no at first B.had no idea what to do C.followed the instructor’s advice D.believed that she would make it 【3】How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band? A.Bored. B.Relaxed. C.Successful. D.Afraid. 【4】What would be the best title for the text? A.A High School Band B.A Young Drummer C.My Love for Music D.My Magic Hands

No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地). You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected. You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous (勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life. 【1】What does the author mainly tell us in the first paragraph? A.Life is full of ups and downs. B.People’s lives only last a limited period. C.We should enjoy our life unconditionally. D.Bad situations can be changed into good ones. 【2】Why did the author still feel happy when experiencing much pain? A.His colleagues were always with him. B.He could be looked after by his parents. C.He planned to enjoy the last days in life. D.His doctor made him realize the value of being alive. 【3】The underlined word “morale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”. A.talent B.confidence C.pleasure D.inspiration 【4】The author thinks that the wisest person________. A.never laughs at others B.has strong determination C.is ready to do others a favor D.is good at learning from mistakes

There’s no doubt that one of the greatest human achievements is the exploration of the space. Ever since astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to be sent into the orbit around the moon in 1961, scientists have been pushing the boundaries further and further. But until now the exploration into the unknown has been dominated (主导) by men. Of course, in the past, women were also included in the space projects and played an active role on the ground and behind the scenes. For example, they worked as seamstresses (女裁缝师), sewing vital spaceflight components. In fact, many of NASA’s key works would never have been possible without them. Recently Hollywood produced a movie called Hidden Figures to focus on a group of American female mathematicians, especially the black women, who helped NASA send the first American into space. But this was not women’s only contribution. Back in 1963, Soviet astronaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to be sent into space. However, after that, space flight programs were slow to employ women. In the USA. NASA didn’t accept applications from women to become astronauts until 1978. But attitudes have changed and leading officials at NASA say that the first person to set foot on Mars should be a woman. The space agency aims to have a sex-balanced workforce but can only achieve that if equal numbers of men and women are trained for science and technology jobs. As Allison McIntryre told the BBC, “My director is a woman. We have female astronauts. We haven’t put a woman on the moon yet. And I think that perhaps the first person to step on Mars should be a woman.” 【1】What did Yuri Gagarin do in 1961? A.He landed on the moon in success. B.He discovered many new boundaries. C.He led scientists to explore the moon. D.He made the first journey into the space. 【2】Why does the author mention the film Hidden Figures? A.To show women are the true heroes of NASA’s first launch. B.To stress that black people have won equal rights in NASA. C.To prove women can do as well as men in NASA’ projects. D.To present women’s contributions to NASA’s space programs. 【3】What is Allison McIntryre’s attitude toward women astronauts? A.Uncaring. B.Disapproving. C.Supportive. D.Disappointed. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Will the First Person to Step on Mars Be a Woman? B.Great Achievements Have Been Made in Space Exploration? C.Why Men Played an Important Role in Exploring the Unknown? D.Men and Women Have Made Equal Contributions to NASA’s Projects?
