26、Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media. In the UK, the over-55s are joining social media sites in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the second biggest user group of these sites, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
Interestingly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use social media sites themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the sites - only 2.2 million users are under 17 - but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock, so I have to,” she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school that she has not heard from in forty years. “We use social media sites to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “They have changed my social life completely.”
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone addiction as their parents were the early users of smartphones. Peter, 38 and a father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. “I was always connected and I felt like I was always working.” he says. “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?” Thus, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make emergency calls and send text messages. “I’m not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is that I’m setting a better example for my kids and spending more quality time with them.”
【1】How does Sheila, aged 59, feel about social media?
A.Satisfied
B.Worried
C.Excited
D.Disappointed
【2】From Paragraph 3, we can see that children under 17 in the UK_________.
A.tend to use their smartphones less
B.are less interested in social media sites
C.like to interact with their parents online
D.spend more time with their friends in real life
【3】Why does Peter use an old-style mobile phone in the evenings and at weekends?
A.He needs to make an emergency call.
B.He thinks it is convenient to do so.
C.He wants to be cut off from the world.
D.He tries to be a model for his kids.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The elder generation on social media.
B.Different online habits across generations.
C.Good habits of using smartphones and social media.
D.How to keep kids away from smartphones and social media.
27、Your brain is mainly composed of about 85 billion neurons (神经元), which is more than the number of stars you can see with the eyes. 【1】 For example, when you’re writing, some neurons send the “move fingers” message to other neurons and this message then travels through the nerves (神经) to your fingers. The electrical signals that are communicated from one neuron to another are what allows you to do everything: write, think, see, jump, talk, and so on. Each neuron can be connected with up to 10,000 other neurons , leading to plenty of connections in your brain, which is known as neural nets.
When you’re learning, important changes happen in your brain, including the creation of new connections between your neurons. 【2】 The more you practice, the stronger these connections become. As your connections strengthen, the messages are delivered increasingly faster, making them more effective. That is how you become better at anything you learn whether it is playing football, reading, drawing, and so on. We can compare the connections between your neurons to paths in a forest. Walking through a forest without a path is difficult, because you have to push the plants and the branches out of the way to make your way. 【3】 On the contrary, when you stop using the path, the plants grow back, and the path slowly disappears. This is very similar to what happens in your brain—when you stop practicing something, the connections between your neurons weaken and can finally be removed. 【4】 However, it’s possible for some neural networks to become so strong that the paths or connections never completely disappear.
【5】 Practicing repeatedly makes your neurons active and makes you learn. These changes happen as early as when a baby is in his mother’s stomach and continues throughout a person’s life.
A.Neurons are usually divided into different types according to their location.
B.But the more you use the same path, the easier and more practicable it becomes.
C.The question is how to help your neurons to create and strengthen their connections.
D.A neuron is a cell sending information in the form of electrical signals to other neurons.
E.That’s why it’s hard to start reading again when school starts if you haven’t read all summer.
F.The ability of your brain to change is to create, strengthen or weaken connections between neurons.
G.The fact that learning rewires your neurons shows that the brain changes and does not remain fixed.

29、Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap(代沟) has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality (平等) can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot strictness and authority (权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College, “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”
