Learning English well is a great challenge,but with the help from technology(技术) it can be as easy as a piece of cake.
As well as the classroom,teachers and textbooks,the Internet,TV and radio programs can play an active role in helping learn English.The Internet is full of rich and up-to-date information.English learners might wish to try http://www.in2english.com.cn.It provides cultural information about Britain.
Another useful website for middle school students and teachers is: Besides reading 21st Century School Edition online,students are also invited to put their views on different topics up on the website.
Compared with the Internet,TV programs have their own advantages(优点): one does not have to sit at a computer and one can hear and watch the programs much better.
One popular Englishlearning program is called “Modern English”.This focuses on spoken English in practical situations such as taking photos and shopping.
If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8,you might see a program titled “Study
Abroad”.Cartoons are used to explain how to use the word in daily life.Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.
China Radio International airs a program called “Studio Classroom” at 6:30A.m.every day.This 25-minute program is aimed at middle school students and covers subjects from current news to travel and history,all in simple language.

How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?
Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don't worry. Psychological findings have shown it's completely normal.
In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can't help wanting more.
According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens' brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.
So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.
In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.
In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.
“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇社会生活类文章。很多人都习惯检查一下自己新发的帖子得到了别人多少“like”or “thumbs up”(即得到了多少人的关注),作者在文中分析了这种行为背后的缘由,
并且指出:想得到别人关注这很正常,但是,过于追求别人的关注将会产生不好的影响。
9.You may find this text in a magazine about ________. A.technology B.education C.entertainment
D.social life
【解析】 推理推断题。很多人都习惯检查一下自己新发的帖子得到了别人多少“like”or “thumbs up”(即得到了多少人的关注),作者在文中分析了这种行为背后的缘由,并且指出:想得到别人关注这很正常,但是,过于追求别人的关注将会产生不好的影响。很明显,这样的文章和我们的社会生活息息相关,和技术、训练、消遣无关,故D选项切题。
【答案】 D
10.Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan? A.People who are living with their parents. B.Those who lack social recognition. C.People who are the focus of attention. D.Those who want to blanket what they've done.
【解析】 细节理解题。由倒数第三段中“he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house...Feeling ‘overlooked and unappreciated’ might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings”可知,下列几种状况下的人很自然地期望别人的关注:1. 独生子女;2. 习惯于是家人关注中心的人;3. 感到受到忽视或者未受到观赏的人;4. 嫉妒别人或者想掩盖自己所犯错误的人。A选项不符合上述状况,故A选项切题。
【答案】 A
11.We know from the last paragraph that ________.
A.checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time B.it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions C.focusing on one's self-esteem is quite natural D.self-esteem has a bad effect on one's goals
【解析】 推理推断题。由最终一段中的“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem”可知,假如人们设定的目标不是以自己的自尊为中心,而是超越自我,比如以如何为别人做贡献为中心,那么,他们对于追求自尊带来的消极影响就不那么敏感了。由此可知,设定一些为别人做贡献的目标是有好处的。故B选项切题。
【答案】 B D
For many adolescents(青少年),“screen time”is almost a fulltime job that could lead to obesity(肥胖),diabetes and other health issues,a Canadian researcher says.
Adolescents now spend an average of six hours a day in front of some type of screen,whether it's a television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices now popular with young people,studies done by Dr.Ian Michael Janssen show.“They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom in a given year,” says Janssen, a researcher at Queen's University in Kingston,Canada.The result is a rise in obesity rates among adolescents. Unfortunately,fixing the problem isn't as easy as simply cutting down screen time,Janssen cautions. “Decreasing screen time will not automatically (自动地) increase physical activity levels,” says Janssen.“Some active kids also spend a lot of time in front of television and computer screens, and
some
kids who have low screen times also have low levels of physical activity,” he points out.
“As well,screen time is not necessarily bad,” Janssen says.“The tricky part is that children today need to be using computers,” he says.Computers are required for schoolwork, and technological skills are important for future job prospects. The quality of screen time matters too,along with the quantity-consider the negative health messages found in food advertising during children's shows,he says.Ideally,children should aim for no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day.
Janssen's real worry about the rise in childhood obesity rates is not that there are now rare cases of type 2 diabetes in kids,where once there were none,but the health problems these children are likely to face in the future as adults,including high blood pressure,high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.
【语篇解读】 本文叙述了青少年过多的接触屏幕,如看电视,上网等可能导致肥胖,糖尿病和其他健康问题。
12.Which one doesn't belong to “screen time” according to the passage? A.Watching TV. B.Surfing the Internet. C.Seeing a film on an MP4. D.Listening to music on an MP3.
【解析】 细节理解题。依据其次段首句的“whether it's a television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices”可知答案为D项。
【答案】 D
13.In Janssen's opinion, kids had better ________ to keep healthy. A.lose weight B.decrease screen time C.take physical activities D.go on a diet
【解析】 细节理解题。依据其次段最终两句的意思:削减看电视或上网时间不肯定就会增加体育熬炼的时间……很少看电视或上网的孩子也很少熬炼……可知Janssen期望孩子们多参与体育熬炼。
【答案】 C
14.What's the researcher's attitude towards “screen time of adolescents”? A.Worried. B.Passive. C.Positive.
D.Frightened.
【解析】 推理推断题。依据全文内容及最终一段首句可推断出答案。
【答案】 A
15.We can most probably read the passage in ____________________. A.a children's story B.a health report C.a science report D.entertainment news
【解析】 推理推断题。依据文章大意“青少年过多的接触屏幕,如看电视、上网等可能导致肥胖,糖尿病和其他健康问题”可知B项“健康报道”符合。
【答案】 B
