26、Tyson Terry wakes up, gets ready for school, and then turns on his computer. Ifs his first day of seventh grade. But he’s not going anywhere. Nowadays, going to school has become unsafe for him and many other students around the world.

For many students, distance learning has become the usual state. They have to take classes on virtual platforms (虚拟平台). Besides, kids are also stuck at home during their free time. Tyson and his friends can chat with each other only on screens.

A recent study shows that Tyson and his friends aren’t the only young people getting plenty of screen time these days. In April 2020, almost 1,500 parents in Canada reported their kids had less exercise and more screen time. Researchers have found that kids who spend a lot of time on screens are more likely to have eye problems and trouble with reading. Yet right now, screens are the only safe way to learn or socialize. How should they get out of this dilemma (困境)?

“I think to say screen time is bad or good is both dangerous,” says Michelle Guerrero who studies diseases. Different types of screen time have both costs and advantages, she says. You should be mindful of how much screen time you get. But for many families, “right now, staying within two hours is just not realistic.”

Taren Sanders, a health scientist, agrees. “Overall, I’m not too concerned about the additional screen time kids are having,” he says. The things you should be thinking about are the amount of exercise you get and the way you spend your free time.

The biggest problem with screens is that people usually sit without moving while they watch screens. A long time sitting leads to bad changes in one’s body and is more likely to cause health problems. So an important question to ask yourself is not how much screen time you are getting, but how active you are.

【1】What does the example of Tyson mainly show?

A．Students want to spend their free time at home.

B．Students enjoy the new learning method.

C．Students prefer online communication.

D．Students have more screen time.

【2】Which of the following may Michelle Guerrero agree with?

A．Students should control their screen time.

B．Screen time has a lot to do with health levels.

C．Many families are shortening their screen time.

D．Distance learning works against many students’ progress.

【3】What is a main problem according to Taren Sanders?

A．Students，poor exercise habits.

B．The additional screen time students have.

C．More screen time leading to a long time sitting.

D．Students having no idea how to spend their free time.

27、Learning a Second Language

Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.

After several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving. Besides, you must speak English every day. You can practise with your classmates after class. You will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.

The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your diary. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand anything the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these achievements(成就) in your diary.

You must be active in learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practise every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will feel more confidence in yourself.

29、Rhiannon Menn is the founder of Lasagna Love, a global nonprofit that connects neighbors through homemade meal delivery. In March 2020, her San Diego community shut down because of the pandemic. She and her husband own a design and build company, but their projects were put on hold. Rhiannon felt helpless and wondered what she could do to be useful. It didn’t take her long to decide.

“Cooking is my happy place,” she says. She ordered groceries online and got to work. She and her daughter, Cimorene, then three, made extra pans of lasagna, and Rhiannon posted in a local moms’ group on Facebook, offering to drop off a free home-cooked meal to anyone who wanted one. Some people requested a meal. Even more wanted to help Rhiannon feed those who were struggling.

Rhiannon created a spreadsheet for each volunteer, matching them with families who’d requested a meal. Word of what she was doing spread quickly on social media. “By summer, we had more than 100 volunteer chefs,” she says. Too many for one person to track. Someone offered to create an online portal (门户网站) to manage the volunteers and meal requests. This automated system freed Rhiannon to do what she really loves: cook and reach people in need.

For Rhiannon, lasagna is the best comfort food. But it’s about more than just food. “Our volunteers deliver a sense of hope with the meal,” she says. “We want people to know that a stranger cared enough about them to make them a meal. Kindness is contagious (传染性的), and it can transform communities.”

Lasagna Love currently has 25,000 volunteers—or Lasagna Chefs, as they’re called—across the United States, Canada and Australia, who have delivered more than 150,000 meals to families in their communities. “This movement has given me purpose in a way I didn’t have before,” Rhiannon says.

In her home, cooking is a family event. Cimorene, now five, has gotten good at layering the noodles. Rhiannon also has a three-year-old son and an 11-month-old baby boy. “I love that my kids are learning the importance of helping others,” she says.

Volunteer chefs log in to the portal and input how many meals they’d like to deliver that week. The system matches them with nearby families requesting a meal, and the volunteer texts the family to set up a delivery time. The meals are dropped off on doorsteps for contact-free delivery.

The organization is called Lasagna Love, but volunteers can deliver any home-cooked meal they’d like. Rhiannon’s recipe is her own take on lasagna, made healthier with grated zucchini and yellow squash. “I’ve shared my recipe, but volunteers are welcome to use their own recipes for any dishes they’d like to make,” she says.

【1】Why did Rhiannon start Lasagna Love?

A．To help struggling neighbors.

B．To fight against the pandemic.

C．To help their design and build company.

D．To improve her neighbors’ cooking skills.

【2】What can we know about the volunteers in Lasagna Love?

A．They are trained by experienced chefs.

B．They deliver their own meals to people in need.

C．They search for families in need by themselves.

D．They all follow Rhiannon’s recipe to make lasagna.

【3】We can infer from the passage that Rhiannon ________.

A．had no purpose in life before

B．is too busy to deliver meals now

C．likes posting her meals on social media

D．has set a good example for her children

【4】Which of the following words best describe Rhiannon?

A．Helpful and humorous.

B．Honest and successful.

C．Kind-hearted and generous.

D．Hardworking and ambitious.
