24、English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters“WC”in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native (地道的)English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from The US. The old sign will become “Gents/men” and “Ladies/women”.

“I see much poor English in my everyday life, and not only on signs,” she says, “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Guizhou Province’, I know he or she should say ‘My hometown is in Guizhou Province’.” Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport ” should be changed to “To the airport”. And it is “Room Rate ” not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep Off the Grass” rather than “Care of the Green”.

The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant , you can go and see if the expressions are right.

A．Teachers in China.

D．she likes to use it

【4】Which of the following signs is Right?

25、What is the hottest English word now? It’s “selfie”. Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself. People usually take selfies with a smartphone(智能手机)and send them to a social media website.

The word was first used in 2004. In the past 12 months, its frequency(出现频率)in the English language has increased by 17, 000 percent. Now, almost everybody knows it.

“Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone(QQ空间), ”said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.

Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. “She has used many selfies to tell us what’s going on in her personal life, ”said Li.

What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism(自恋). “The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. We’re crying out: Look at me! ”said US psychiatrist(精神科医生)Carole Lieberman.

But some people don’t see it that way. Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in The Guardian《卫报》. “The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others, ”wrote Freedland.

Huang Xu agrees with that. “During summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each other’s holidays and feelings, ”said Huang Xu.

26、Recently, some people have complained about the purposefully addictive (上瘾的) designs of smartphones and social media, which make it hard for anyone to put them down, especially teens. Now, a new report in Emotion gives facts that back up what these people said.

According to the report, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness have dropped since 2012, the year the percentage of teens owning smartphones started increasing rapidly. The report also finds that teens’ psychological (心理的) health gets worse the more hours a week they spend on screens.   

Jean Twenge is the lead writer of the report. She graphed (制图) the connection between happiness and screen activities, such as social media, texting, gaming, and video chats. She also graphed the connection between happiness and non-screen activities, including sports, reading, and face-to-face communications. She called the relationship between screen and non-screen activities “zero sum”—if you are doing one, it takes time away from the others.

Diane Tanman complains that her sons are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used to play games in fields, and it made them happier. These days, her sons are more into online games. Many of the games have rewards (奖励) built in to keep players coming back. “It’s just junk food for the brain,” Tanman said.

Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-old son Leo is a fan of video games. After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games.

However, totally staying away from electronic devices (设备) doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily. After a daily hour of screen time, unhappiness rises in relation to increasing screen time.

Spending time in front of a screen is a normal part of being a teenager. Many schools require students to be online and to use iPads or other devices to do their work. But teachers and parents have also complained that technology can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for things other than their studies.

If we recognize how screen time influences young minds, we can help teens use technology better and protect their psychological health in the process. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have some once in a while, but it shouldn’t be part of our everyday lives.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Screen time at home is not as beneficial as screen time at school.

B．Nearly an hour of screen time every day makes teens happiest.

C．Technology should be encouraged in classroom learning.

D．What teens do on the screen influences their happiness.

【2】Why does the passage give the examples of families with teens?

A．To prove the bad effect of the addictive designs of electronic devices.

B．To show parents have little control over their teens’ screen time.

C．To compare different-aged teens’ feelings about screen use.

D．To explain why electronic devices make teens feel happy.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Use of Electronic Devices: Should We Consider Teens’ Needs?

B．Teens’ Psychological Health: Why Is It Important?

C．Screen Time and Teens’ Study Performance

D．Screen Time and Teens’ Life Satisfaction
