22、 Some parents worry kids spend a lot of time looking at screens. But a new study argues against that unease parents may feel. “The danger is that they’re hearing a message that social media use is causing very serious and harmful problems like depression and anxiety. Candice Odgers, professor at the University of California, explained. And the idea is that if you shut off social media, which lots of kids use to connect with each other and find out information, you could in fact be making a situation worse. ”
Odgers and her colleagues looked at the screen-related behavior of 400 public-school students in North Carolina aged 10 to 14. The researchers found that—even not counting time doing schoolwork on screens—the kids spent between almost 5 hours to 7 hours per day on their devices. “Overall,what we find is no connection between the amount of time that young people spend online and mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety”. What they actually found was something jaw-dropping. Young people who sent more text messages reported better mental health. Odgers was not alone there. Journal Clinical Psychological Science recently announced, “people who use technology in the positive ways to stay connected off-line often, are more connected online as well and experiencing better mental health.”
So why are the fears about screen time? Odgers argues that the methodologies (方法论)for older studies may have led to false conclusions. “One of the methods that’s been done to date has been asking students to recall “How often are you online?” and “ Have you ever felt depressed?” And the correlation between those two things has been used to spread a lot of fear about this connection between social media use and things like depression, 99. 5 percent of the reasons that kids differ in their depression is due to something other than the time they spend online though.”
Parents get a lot of advice, and some of it always seems to conflict. “The hope is that more parents will hear this message and relax and spend kind of less time worrying about smartphones and more time just talking to their kids.”
【1】Where might this passage be taken from?
A.A Travel Journal.
B.A Newspaper Frontpage.
C.A Nursing and Parenting Magazine.
D.A Psychology and Education Magazine.
【2】What did researchers find about the screen-related behavior of students at school?
A.The more time students spent on line, the better mental health they reported.
B.Students in North Carolina aged 10 to 14 spent too much time online.
C.Students’ staying online positively actually helped with better mental health.
D.Shutting off social media made things worse in the end.
【3】Which of the following will Odgers probably agree with according to paragraph 3?
A.There is too much fear about screen time among people.
B.Students have been asked improper questions about screen time.
C.None of the students5 depression has something to do with screen time.
D.The present studies are better than the older ones.
23、Recycling Electronic Waste
When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper, which said that people were burying old computers in backyards, throwing TVs into streams, and dumping (丢弃) cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e - waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies - and people.
Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN - the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before.
But what could they do about this project with e - waste? The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e - waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处置) of e - waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then, they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e - waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.
Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 9, 500 kilograms of e - waste.
The next step was to set up a long - term e - waste drop - off center for the town. After some research, they’d learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling. So, they began learning to refurbish (翻新) computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn’t have their own. In this way, they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time.
For a lasting solution to e - waste, the drop - off center wasn’t enough. Laws would have to be passed. In 2016, WIN helped push for an e - waste bill in their town, which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e - waste. The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e - waste.
Because of the work of WIN, more and more people, like Alex and his team, are getting the message about safe disposal of e - waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s harmful garbage.”
【1】What was Alex’s worry after he read the article?
A.the littering of e - waste
B.the recycling of plastic
C.the change of environment
D.the overuse of old computers
【2】What did Alex do to start the project?
A.set up WIN
B.collect information
C.ask friends for help
D.carry out a survey
【3】What message does the story convey?
A.There is no end to perfection.
B.Success comes through failure.
C.Every positive attitude has a reward.
D.Young people can make a big difference.
24、First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim’s condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be given as quickly as possible. In the case of seriously injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.
First aid measures depend upon a victim’s needs and provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的)injury.
Despite the variety of injuries possible, several basic rules of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious(有意识的), should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and ask for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess(评估)the scene, asking other people or the injured person’s family or friends about details of the injury or illness. The victim should be checked for the medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for assessing a victim’s condition is known by ABC, which stands for:
A—Airway: Is it open and clear
B—Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
C—Circulation: Is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding extremely? Check skin color and temperature for additional signs of circulation problems.
【1】How can first aid help victims?
A.By sending them to the hospital.
B.By providing a surgery for them
C.By avoiding their sudden illnesses or injuries.
D.By preventing their condition from worsening.
【2】What does the author want to tell in the second paragraph?
A.Providers’ first aid knowledge and skills are very important.
B.Knowing what not to do is more important than other skills.
C.First aid should follow the victims’ words first.
D.A neck injury is a very serious illness.
【3】What can we learn about ABC?
A.It is a first aid brochure.
B.It is a kind of assessment method.
C.C stands for checking the things of victims.
D.Airway means air environment around victims.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Various Emergencies Calling for First Aid
B.The Importance of First Aid
C.Some Basic Knowledge About First Aid
D.The History and Development of First Aid
