Children moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the booming of social media, as it is playing an increasingly important role in their lives, and is exposing them to significant emotional risks, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England. The report shows that many children in year 7 – the first year of secondary school, 【1】 almost everyone in the class will have a phone and be active on social media – feel under pressure to be constantly connected. They kind of 【2】 (worry) about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also upset about “sharenting” – when parents post pictures of them on social media without 【3】 (permit) – and show the concern 【4】 their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down. The report, based on group interviews with 8- to 12-year-olds , shows that 【5】 most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an 【6】 (estimate) 75% of 10- to 12-year-olds will have a social media account. Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feeling 【7】 (confident) than those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “【8】 (compare) yourself with them, you might feel devalued because you’re not very pretty.” Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. “What a child has learnt at primary school does not guarantee he can protect 【9】 from the risks that social media will present.” “It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children 【10】 (prepare) for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies are supposed to assume more responsibilities.” Longfield said. |

Why liars lie: What science tells us about deception We all do it sometimes, even though we know it’s wrong. But here’s the problem with lying: research shows that the more you lie, the easier it gets, and the more likely you are to do it again. “The dangerous thing about lying is that people don’t understand how the act changes us,” said Dan Ariely, a behavioral psychologist at Duke. Psychologists have documented children lying as early as age 2. Some experts even consider lying a __________ milestone, like crawling and walking, because it requires complex planning, attention and the ability to see a situation from someone else’s __________ to effectively control them. But for most people, lying gets __________ as we develop a sense of morality and the ability to self-regulate. A 2010 study on the frequency of lying in America found that in a given 24-hour period, most adults reported not telling any lies. Almost half the lies recorded in the study could be __________ just 5 percent of participants. And most people __________ lying when they could, turning to deception only when the truth was troublesome. Harvard cognitive neuroscientist Joshua Greene said, __________ , for most of us, lying takes work. In studies, he presented study subjects with a chance to deceive for monetary gain while examining their brains in a functional MRI(核磁共振) machine, which __________ blood flow to active parts of the brain. Some people told the truth instinctively. But others __________ opted to lie, and they showed __________ activity in their frontal parietal (额顶叶) control network, which is involved in difficult or complex thinking. This suggests that they were deciding between truth and __________ – and ultimately opting for the latter. For a follow-up analysis, he found that people whose neural reward centers were more active when they won money were also more likely to be among the group of liars – suggesting that lying may have to do with the __________ to resist temptation. Scientists don’t really know what prevents all of us from lying all the time. Some believe truth-telling is a social norm we internalize, or a result of conflict in our brains between the things we want and the _________ image of ourselves we strive to maintain. But the curious thing about this __________ mechanism is that it comes from within. However, external conditions also matter __________ when and how often we lie. We are more likely to lie, research shows, when we are able to justify it, when we are __________ and exhausted, or when we see others being dishonest. And we are less likely to lie when we have moral reminders or when we think others are watching. 【1】A.historical B.developmental C.mental D.psychological 【2】A.perspective B.imagination C.experience D.evaluation 【3】A.dominated B.preferred C.accepted D.limited 【4】A.attributed to B.applied to C.reduced to D.distributed to 【5】A.regretted B.avoided C.recognized D.denied 【6】A.anyhow B.instead C.indeed D.likewise 【7】A.stimulates B.maps C.guides D.assesses 【8】A.reasonably B.randomly C.passively D.deliberately 【9】A.restored B.failed C.regulated D.increased 【10】A.morality B.fantasy C.dishonesty D.reality 【11】A.inability B.impulse C.determination D.possibility 【12】A.unique B.objective C.positive D.typical 【13】A.preventive B.persuasive C.interactive D.decisive 【14】A.regardless of B.by means of C.in response to D.in terms of 【15】A.delighted B.motivated C.encouraged D.stressed |

Dandelions I remember as a young child bringing a bunch of brilliant yellow flowers to my mother. It didn’t matter that the stems felt sticky or that both my parents cursed the presence of these flowers in the lawn. I thought they were beautiful! And there were so many of them! We spent hours picking the flowers and then popping the blossoms off with a snap of our fingers. But the supply of dandelions (蒲公英) never ran out. My father or brothers would chop off all the heads with the lawnmower (割草机) at least once a week, but that didn't stop these hardy wonders. And for those flowers that escaped the honor of being hand-delivered to my mother or the sharp blades of the lawnmower, there was another level of existence. The soft roundness of a dandelion gone to seed caused endless laughter of delight as we unconsciously spread this flower across the yard. As I worked in my garden last week, pulling unwanted weeds out of the space that would become a haven for tomatoes, corn, peas and sunflowers, I again marveled at the flower that some call a weed. And I thought, if only I had the staying power of a dandelion. If only I could stretch my roots so deep and straight that something tugging on my stem couldn’t separate me completely from the source that feeds me life. If only I could come back to face the world with a bright, sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a lawnmower or worse, purposely attacked me in an attempt to destroy me. If only I could spread love and encouragement as freely and fully as this flower spreads seeds of itself. The lawns at my parents' home are now beautiful green blankets. The only patches of color come from well-placed, well-controlled flowerbeds. Chemicals have managed to kill what human interference couldn’t. I hope you and I can be different. I hope that we can stretch our roots deep enough that the strongest poison can't reach our souls. I hope that we can overcome the poisons of anger, fear, hate, criticism and competitiveness. 【1】The author’s parents probably viewed the dandelions in the lawn as ________. A.supplies of seeds B.beautiful wonders C.unwanted weeds D.patches of colors 【2】What does the author mean by “another level of existence” in paragraph 3? A.The flowers were meant as a joyful gift to her mother. B.The flowers evolved into a stronger species because of frequent mowing. C.The flowers were tough enough to spread new lives themselves. D.The flowers that some called a weed were difficult to pull out. 【3】What can we learn from the article? A.The author’s family enjoyed the dandelions as much as she did. B.The author purposefully replaced some dandelions with crops. C.The dandelions were never successfully removed from the lawn. D.The author felt sorry but encouraged by the fate of the dandelions. 【4】Through the article, the author mainly wants to ________. A.share the inspirations she gained from the dandelions B.arouse public awareness to pay close attention to the beauty in life C.show the importance of planting dandelions D.express the shame that only she saw the beauty of the dandelion |

The two-hour show on March 25, 2019 put on by Tim Cook may be remembered as a milestone for the company – and the entertainment industry. Mr. Cook did not announce his company’s latest device. Instead, he unveiled a set of products and services, including video streaming, news games and even a credit card. Apple’s 900 million iPhones worldwide grant it access to a massive potential audience. Analysts speculate that Apple will eventually offer them something similar to Amazon Prime, where customers pay a fixed monthly fee for some combination of news, games, cloud storage, music and video, and which could possibly connect with the company’s iPhone subscriptions. Apple TV+, which got prioritized by Mr. Cook, will offer original programming in more than 100 countries. The money Apple plans to spend on original shows – perhaps $1 billion to $2 billion thus far – is dwarfed by that of Netflix, which will spend as much as $15 billion this year on original and licensed content, or Disney, whose own video-streaming is expected shortly. But Apple’s high-profile shows are for now meant chiefly to draw customers to its universe of apps and services. That includes subscription services for games, a long list of big American magazines and a few newspapers. You can pay for it all using your new Apple Card, developed with bankers at Goldman Sachs. The credit card puts Apple in direct competition with banks: it has no fees and will give users 2% cash back on purchases made via Apple Pay, the company’s payments system – or 3% on purchases of Apple kit and service. Although Apple continues to earn most of its money from devices, its business in services is growing quickly, accounting for nearly $40 billion of revenues of $266 billion in 2018. The new subscription offering, which is easier to click and buy than their predecessors, should accelerate that trend. Its new partners hope to be along for the ride. Analysts at Goldman Sachs estimated that Apple may turn 10% of the 85 million monthly users of its free News app into paying subscribers, wining a cut of newspaper and TV subscriptions sold through its services. Some content providers are cautious. The New York Times and The Washington Post have rejected Apple’s advances on behalf of its news service. Netflix and Disney will not take part in Apple TV+, which they view as more a threat than an opportunity. 【1】The underlined word dwarfed in paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A.made to appear insignificant B.reduced to a great extent C.limited to a fixed scale D.grown to its full potential 【2】We can infer from the article that ________. A.Apple invested heavily in its entertainment services along with its latest devices B.Apple Card may be favoured because it offers discounts on purchases of Apple products C.The popularity of Apple devices may bring forth huge profit potentials in its new service D.Apple’s new move is seen as an opportunity as well as a threat by its competitors 【3】What is most likely to be further discussed if the article continues? A.What action Apple might take to attract potential subscribers. B.Who might gain huge benefits from Apple’s new service. C.How Goldman Sachs won the support from Mr. Tim Cook. D.Why some companies are alert to Apple’s strategy changes. 【4】What is the best title for this article? A.Tech Giant Apple Stages New Moves B.A Great Challenge to the Entertainment Industry C.The Entertainment Industry Calls for Cooperation D.A New Bottleneck for Tech Giant Apple |

How to Make a Good Cup of Tea In his essay, A Nice Cup of Tea, George Orwell laid out 11 basic principles to make a good cup of tea, from warming the pot beforehand to stirring the leaves before pouring. He insisted that “the water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while one pours”. 【1】 “Some people add that one should only use water that has been freshly brought to the boil, but I have never noticed that it makes any difference,” he went on to state. However, on that point at least, it seems he was wrong. William Gorman, one of Britain’s leading tea experts, has now put forward that the water used for making a cup of tea should never be boiled more than once. “Usually when people’s tea goes cold they reboil the kettle and make another cup. 【2】 You need freshly drawn water for a good cup because reboiling it takes all the oxygen and nitrogen out of it, ruining its layered flavor.” Besides, Mr. Gorman advocates another practice of making tea, one that Orwell would surely have protested. Mr. Gorman said, “【3】 When you microwave tea, all you’re doing is just moving the molecules around and getting it back up to a decent temperature. It is not impacting the flavor at all.” 【4】 In some countries teapots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the spout, to catch the stray leaves, which are supposed to be harmful. Actually one can swallow tea-leaves in considerable quantities without ill effect, and if the tea is not loose in the pot, it never infuses properly. They agree by doing this, you actually risk losing a good cup of tea. A.Beware of the high temperature of a microwave oven. B.But doing this you will give yourself a dull cup of tea. C.What he didn’t insist on was that the water should be boiled just once. D.However, they both argue against the use of tea-imprisoning devices. E.He said the milk should be poured into the cup last, not first. F.A better solution is to heat it with microwave for 10s. |

Population Change of European Birds The breeding bird populations in Europe have seen a great shift over the past three decades, driven by both climate crisis and human interferences, according to one of the world’s largest citizen science projects on biodiversity. Overall, 35% of birds increased their breeding range. Dr. Iván Ramírez, senior head of conservation at BirdLife Europe and central Asia, said: “Those birds that have been legally protected have been doing better than those which are not protected. This is a really important message within the European Union. We have one of the oldest policies – the Birds Directive – and we can prove that it works.” In addition, as the climate warms, forests are stretching into northern and agricultural regions. In parts of northern Europe, there has also been tree planting (mainly for wood and paper) and land abandonment (specifically in Mediterranean areas), which benefited many woodland species such as woodpeckers and warblers but caused damage to a number of other species as well. The research shows a total of 25% of birds now occupy a smaller area. Generally, farmland birds are bigger losers, suffering overall declines in population and reduced distribution because agricultural intensification means there is less food, such as insects and remainder from harvesting. The State of Nature in the EU 2013-2018 assessment showed 80% of key habitats were in poor or bad condition, and intensive farming is a major driver of decline. The UK’s farmland birds have declined by 55% since 1970. “Predictably, there are winners and losers. We can see how some species have expanded across the continent rapidly and have begun to colonize UK wetlands. In contrast, we can see ranges shrinking as species of northern Europe feel the impact of climate change, and species such as the dotterel are declining in numbers and range in northern Britain,” he said. |
