Looking at Rosa Ferrigno's new suit, you could swear it was knitted(织) with regular yarn(毛线).It’s only when you touch it and hear the characteristic rustling(沙沙声 )of plastic that you realize there's something special about it.In fact, the suit is made out of over 300 plastic grocery bags. Ferrigno, who once worked as a tailor before starting a family, got the idea for her unique hand-made suit last August.She was at a family picnic and saw on of the other guests carrying a purse made from re-purposed plastic bags.It attracted her, so she and her daughter searched for instructions on how to make one on You Tube.The 75 -year-old ended up making a purse from colorful plastic bags.But that was only the beginning.After finishing her second plastic bag purse, Ferrigno realized she needed something to match it with, so last November she told her daughter she was going to make a skirt and jacket suit out of plastic bags, as a winter project. Rosa started by cutting up the plastic bags into strips(A.)and then tying them together to make longer, yarn- like strips that could be knitted.But to knit the plastic yarn, she needed that didn't exist on the market so she made them on her own. The suit took Rosa two months to complete.The jacket was made out of 170 plastic bags, and the skirt required another 140.Although she didn’t even use a pattern when knitting the impressive suit, it ended up fitting her perfectly, and when she finally showed it off at the supermarket earlier this month, everyone went crazy. “We love it when our customers reuse or recycle grocery bags, but never have we seen a work of art like Rosa's! It's really fantastic "Jo Natale, the supermarket chains vice president of media relations, said. 【1】What makes Rosa Ferrigno,s new suit special? A.Its unique way of knitting. B.Its unusual knitting material. C.Its being knitted by an old lady. D.Its being able to sing when touched 【2】How did Rosa learn to make purses out of plastic bags? A.By modelling a guest. B.By consulting her daughter. C.By watching You Tube videos. D.By asking a tailor for instructions. 【3】What do Jo Natale's words in the last paragraph suggest? A.She thinks highly of Rosa’s behavior. B.Rosa's work of art will become popular. C.The potential of grocery bags needs further developing. D.She thinks all customers should follow Rosa’s footsteps. 【4】What can be inferred about Rosa from the text? A.She is quite able and patient. B.She is good at matching clothes. C.She does nothing without careful planning. D.She likes showing off her knitting |

A growing number of American states are requiring schools to teach students how to judge information on the Internet and social media.California is the latest state to pass such a requirement.Last week, Governor Jerry Brown signed a law aimed at helping educators teach students media literacy(辨识) skills.Media literacy, also known as news literacy, is the ability to use critical thinking skills to recognize differences between real and"fake"news. The new law requires California's Department of Education to provide materials related to media literacy on its website.The materials are designed to inform teachers and provide tools for them to teach the subject.California State Senator Bill Dodd proposed the bill, which became law.He said the goal is to give students a set of effective tools to"let them make informed decisions.” Other states also want to bring news literacy education to the classroom.The bill passed in California is similar to one approved in Washington State.It created a web-based system of materials for teachers.A.bill was also passed last year in New Mexico.The bill would require students to study media literacy as part of a class covering life skills in order to graduate.A.proposal before Hawaii's legislature would develop a statewide plan to teach media literacy skills at all levels in public schools. Carolyn Edy is a professor of communication at Appalachian State University in North Carolina.She said that when students used to read printed newspapers, it was easier for them to recognize fact from opinion.Now, she finds it necessary to teach students how to fully examine websites. One of Edy's goals is to teach students how to research the news organizations responsible for the stories they are reading.One way to do this is for students to ask a series of questions.One example she gives is, " What is the overall mission of the organization?” Another would be, "Do they use professional news gathering and reporting methods?” 【1】Why did Bill Dodd propose the bill? A.To enrich the legal system. B.To help teachers carry out different tasks. C.To give students skills for writing news stories. D.To help educators teach students media literacy. 【2】The author developed the third paragraph mainly by . A.giving examples. B.making comparisons. C.following time order. D.making classifications. 【3】Which is a mentioned method of researching the news organizations? A.Examining websites. B.Reading more newspapers. C.Taking responsibility for the stories. D.Asking some questions. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.Some States Severely Punishing False Information Makers. B.More US Schools Teaching Skills to Recognize False News. C.Online Materials Provided for Teaching Law Students Skills. D.Bills Passed to Have Educators Rights Practically Protected. |

Parents who fear their kids are spending too much time in front of screens now have more reasons for concern. New research funded by the National Institutes of Health found brain changes among kids using screens more than seven hours a day and lower cognitive(认知的) skills among those using screens more than two hours a day. When studies find links between screen time and negative outcomes, some have argued that this is just the latest moral panic over technology.After all, didn't today's grandparents once worry that their kids were watching too much TV or talking on the phone too much? Those kids( today's parents )turned out OK, right? In a new paper, my co-authors and I found that children who spent four or more hours a day on portable devices(设备)--compared with no time-were over 44 percent more likely to sleep not enough.TV time was also connected to less sleep, but not as strongly or consistently. For one thing, TV is not so psychologically stimulating(刺激性的)as a portable device like a smartphone, which, unlike TV.doesn’t exist to simply consume media.Smartphones have also become a huge part of social life, whether it's texting with friends or interacting with them on social media. And unlike TV, portable devices can be silently carried into the bedroom or even the bed, resulting in some teens using them throughout the night. That might explain why lack of sleep among teens spiked after 2012-just as smartphone use became common. So what is a parent-or anyone who wants to sleep well-to do? First, it's best for smartphones and tablets to stay out of the bedroom after"lights-out"time.Nor is it a great idea to use the devices within an hour of bedtime, as their blue light influences the brain’s ability to produce melatonin (褪黑激素).Finally, as a general rule, two hours a day or less spent on portable devices is a good guideline.These rules apply to parents, too -not only kids. 【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.Today's parents' health condition. B.Grandparents’ influence on their kids. C.Bad effects of too much screen time on kids. D.Some people,'s opinion on the findings of the studies. 【2】What is a reason for portable devices' being more strongly associated with less sleep? A.They only consume media. B.They are convenient to carry. C.They are better used in daytime. D.They are independent of social life. 【3】What does the underlined word"spiked" in paragraph 7 probably mean? A.rose quickly. B.stood still. C.grew equally. D.decreased abruptly. 【4】What's the author's advice on how to get a good sleep? A.Never bring screens into the bedroom. B.Allow parents to adapt the rules for themselves. C.Avoid the devices within an hour of bedtime. D.Spend exactly two hours a day on the devices. |
