26、   Ninety­five percent of American families are now online, with adults spending averagely five hours a day at home on the computer, which greatly influences their life, according to a new study. Yes, we’re connecting more with friends, but we’re also having dinner quickly so we can update our Facebook status. Does your life suffer from too much time spent online, and do you properly protect your family’s identity when you share their information online? Here’s how to take control of them.

According to Sherry Turkle, professor of psychology at MIT, many people use their computers to avoid the messiness of real life. It’s difficult to refuse a friend, but it’s easy to send out an e­mail to do that. When you find yourself hiding behind your screen, make an effort to reconnect with people face to face. “It’s not because the technology is bad,” says Turkle. “It’s a matter of figuring out its place.”

Proud parents can’t help posting photos of their kids. But publicly sharing your kids’ information, such as your child’s full name, birth date, and place of residence could put him in danger. To avoid the risk, invite the people you know well to view the photos on password­protected (加密的) websites such as Flickr and Snapfish. If you use Facebook, create a group of your inner circle specially for sharing photos and news of your kids.

Need a handy way to measure your family’s online habits? Check out the family plan on rescuetime. com. It tracks how each member of your family spends time online, and it shows the data by hour, day, and week. The website, which also offers personal plans, even allows you to block distracting (分心的) websites from your loved ones and yourself.

If reaching for your phone to check for messages and e­mails has become an uncontrollable habit, try this trick. Keep your devices on but turn off every message reminding, vibration (振动), and so on. Check for updates only when you finish a task.

【1】Sherry Turkle probably agrees that ________.

A.Internet is just a tool for people

B.people have to know their social status

C.technology can help improve friendship

D.going online helps people lead a happier life

【2】How are family members’ online habits tracked by rescuetime.com?

A.By offering plans and blocking unsafe websites.

B.By blocking unwanted contact and information.

C.By tracking their online time and sorting out data.

D.By making plans and storing collected data.

【3】What can be the best title for the text?

B.How to Take Control of Families’ Technology Time

C.Key Advice on How to Avoid Unsafe Websites

D.How to Break Away from Bad Online Habits

27、   US cosmologist (宇宙学家) Carl Sagan once said: “Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.”

For centuries, human beings have dreamed of traveling into space, orbiting (围绕......运行) our little blue planet, and appreciating incredible views of sunrises and sunsets. And soon, it seems that our dream will finally come true, as US startup Orion Span announced on April 6 that it planned to launch the first hotel in space in 2021. It will be ready to welcome guests the following year.

The space hotel, Aurora Station, will orbit 320 kilometers above Earth, circling it every 90 minutes. It’s capable of housing two crew members and four guests. The crew members will likely be former NASA astronauts who worked on the International Space Station. However, there’s a catch: Each guest must pay at least $9.5 million (60 million yuan) for a 12-day stay at the hotel.

Once aboard the Aurora Station, guests will find many exciting things to do. According to Orion Span, guests can enjoy the excitement of zero-gravity as they fly throughout the space hotel. They can watch 16 sunrises and sunsets every day and view the northern and southern auroras (极光) through the many windows. They can take part in research experiments like growing food, and even take it home as a souvenir. And they can stay in touch with their families and friends via a high-speed internet connection.

But most importantly, the trip will offer a real sense of what it’s like to live in space. “The premise (前提) of Aurora Station is for guests to live, feel, and [breathe] what it’s like to be an astronaut,” Frank Bunger, founder of Orion Span, told the Robb Report. “The food and drinks are freeze-dried products. It’s not going to be five-star dining … Fire and gas don’t work the same way in space as they do on Earth.”

To better prepare guests for space travel, the company will require a health screening and provide a three-month training program that helps guests understand basic spaceflight, orbital mechanics (轨道力学) and life in the pressurized environment of space.

Some may have doubts about the project, but the company even has plans to turn part of Aurora Station into private apartments. “Future Aurora owners can live in, visit, or sublease (转租) their space [apartment],” Bunger said in a news release. “This is an exciting frontier (待开发的领域) and Orion Span is proud to pave the way.”

28、   New arrivals to China often get the impression that Chinese people spend all of their time working. Yet，people in China devote quite a bit of time to leisure（休闲）.

Surprisingly，the Chinese love to relax. They love to spend their time taking care of flowers，raising birds and other pets. Chinese people are also fond of leisurely games，like the Chinese game Mahjong. The Chinese also love to play cards to pass the time. It is a national sport almost as widespread as petanque in France.

The Chinese have many ways to idle（休闲），including gossiping or chitchat，which is seen as a true art. Taking a walk and doing some light reading are also considered as idleness. If a person does all of these things，they are definitely an idler.

Busy people should also have free time. When at work，Chinese people often say that they need to “steal some time” from work.

Taoism（道教）teaches that people should improve moral character through relaxation，and be happy to lead a simple and honest life. This is why Chinese people believe so strongly in enjoying a carefree and relaxed life.

Poet Tao Yuanming set up a way of life that emphasizes a balanced country life. In a sense，his way is both earthy and spiritual. It has given us a way to be relaxed and well，while being balanced and carefree.

In China，having a life that is too full is not a sign of wisdom. It is only when things are empty that they can be filled. Hopefully，this information will remind people to rest a little and make room for free time in a busy life.

【1】What does the underlined word “petanque” most probably refer to?

A. an animal B. a person

C. a sport D. a flower

【2】What is the writer’s impression of Chinese people?

A. They simply work all the time. B. They have many ways to relax.

C. They don’t know how to enjoy life. D. They question a balanced country life.

【3】Which of the following is the best title of the text?

A. Spiritual Happiness B. Impression of China C. Leisure in China D. Wisdom of the Chinese

29、   Head injuries typically come from trauma (创伤) caused by hard or sharp objects. The skull does not have to be broken, but can be. If the skull is soft when touched, or missing, the victim is likely to have an open or depressed skull fracture (骨折). If a skull fracture is suspected, call 911 immediately.

A closed head injury is an injury to the brain inside an undamaged skull. Injury to the brain causes swelling, which quickly increases the pressure within the skull. The increased pressure causes more damage to the brain, which causes more swelling, and so on.

Some types of closed head injury stop the cycle automatically, while others will continue to get worse until the victim dies. The only way to tell the difference is through a CT scan, which looks at the brain and the skull using X-rays.

In all cases of injury to the head and neck, it’s vital not to move the victim at will. Support his or her head in the position you found it. Backbones can be injured from movement of the head during trauma. Broken or displaced backbones can cut or put pressure on the nerves of the spinal cord, causing temporary or permanent inability to move and loss of feeling.

Vomiting (呕吐) can lead to problems with the victim's airway. If the victim begins vomiting and is unconscious, place the victim in the recovery position to let the vomit flow from the victim’s mouth.

It is a misunderstanding that head injury victims should be kept awake. If a victim of trauma to the head does not have any of the signs or symptoms (症状) of a closed head injury or skull fracture，there is no reason to keep him or her awake. Once asleep, wake the victim up about 30 minutes later to make sure he or she can be aroused. If you are unable to wake him or her up. Call 911 immediately.

【1】What should we do when seeing a victim with a damaged skull?

A.Call an ambulance right away.

B.Cover him or her with a blanket first.

C.Place him or her in a cool place as soon as possible.

D.Put him or her in the recovery position immediately.

【2】What can we infer about closed head injury from the text?

A.It will cause a drop in the pressure within the skull.

B.It is often accompanied by an open skull fracture.

C.It will make the brain swell worse and worse.

D.It can be of different types.

【3】According to the author, moving the victims with head injuries at will can__________.

A.cause them to vomit. B.do further injuries to them.

C.put great pressure on their skulls D.lead to their permanent loss of memory

【4】What does the last paragraph imply?

A.Not all the head-injured people need to stay awake.

B.Not all the vomiting stops naturally 30 minutes later.

C.Not all the victims of trauma to the head will be sleepy.

D.Not all the symptoms of closed head injury are noticeable
