26、   When I'm surfing the Web, I want to be attracted by articles on Europe's political history, but I end up reading trivia (琐事) such as a menu from a Michelin restaurant. Why am I not curious about the things I want to be curious about? Curiosity feels as if it's outside your control, but if you understand what causes curiosity, you might be able to direct it a little bit better.

Humans will give up the known benefit to explore the unknown. In one experiment, subjects were asked to choose one of four photos, each carrying some chance of paying a cash prize. Photos appeared again and again, so subjects learned to pick the best-paying. But when a novel photo appeared, they chose it quite more often. This preference for novelty is the reason why producers regularly change product packaging and advertising.

We're super curious when we sense that the environment offers new information to add to what we already know. Note that your brain calculates what you might learn in the short-term—your long-term interests are ignored. That' s why a cardiac surgeon (心脏外科医生) who is excited about her job will find a conference presentation on the operation boring if her brain decides that the talk won't add to her knowledge. However, when her friend persuades her to attend a lecture on arts, her brain may calculate that this will be a rich source of information—and she finds herself interested.

Why not just search for topics you truly want to learn about at present? That sounds logical, but a search for a topic like "universe" will lead to thousands of results. And there is no way of knowing which offers the just-right match to your present knowledge that will maintain (维持) your curiosity. You'll probably end up like the surgeon at the boring conference talk.

Albert Einstein advised a young student to "never lose a holy curiosity." But the challenge is changing its focus from something short-lived to something more lasting.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.It seems difficult to control our curiosity.

B.It's no hard task to fully understand curiosity.

C.Trivia can always attract everyone's attention.

D.Europe's political history is too boring to focus on.

【2】Why does the cardiac surgeon find attending the art lecture interesting?

A.She is tired of her present job.

B.She often attends art exhibition.

C.She finds it can expand her knowledge.

D.She considers it does good to her work.

【3】What can we learn from this text?

A.Subjects were more likely to choose repeated photos.

B.Well-matched results offer no way to maintain our curiosity.

C.Einstein suggested it was challenging to awaken the short-term curiosity.

D.Keeping our curiosity focused on the long-term interests is quite an effort.

27、   James Wisniewski likes video games a lot. He plays 6 to 14 hours a day, ignoring friends and family for the pleasures of the virtual world. Wisniewski, from the United Kingdom, says games are the most important thing in his life. “I wake up and think about it; I go to bed and think about it.”

To help young people like Wisniewski, the National Health Service (NHS), is planning to set the country's first specialist clinic to treat video-game addicts between ages 13 and 25. The Guardian reports it will begin treating people in November.

Teenagers addicted to gaming will get one-on-one treatment from psychiatrists (精神病医生) either in person at a clinic or via Skype video chat. Their parents will get advice on how to manage their child's addiction and reduce the amount of time they spend online.

The move comes after the Word Health Organization (WHO) listed “gaming disorder” as a mental health condition.

“Gaming disorder is not a mental illness to be taken lightly: we are talking about examples where someone may spend up to 12 hours a day playing computer games and can end up having fewer and fewer friends,” Henrietta Bowden-Jones, director of the NHS' Center，told The Telegraph.

Many countries are trying different ways to deal with the problem of gaming addiction. South Korea passed a “shutdown law” to stop children under the age of 16 from playing video games between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. In Japan, meanwhile, players are reminded if they spend more than a certain amount of time each month playing games. In the United States, the nonprofit Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) puts age restrictions on most games, meaning that children under a certain age are unable to buy them.

Here are some tips from The Telegraph to prevent yourself from becoming addicted to games:

●Seta reasonable time for how long you can play games each day.

●Find some other hobbies, like sports or reading.

●If you can’t control yourself, ask your friends or family for help.

【1】Why is the county's first specialist clinic set?

A.To help young people addicted to playing games.

B.To treat people with mental health condition.

C.To get pleasure from the virtual world.

D.To offer advice on educating young children.

【2】People who spend too much time playing computer games end up becoming_______.

A.independent B.socially isolated C.narrow-minded D.cold-blooded

【3】What do Americans do to solve the problem of gaming addiction?

A.Set a reasonable time for how long you can play games each day.

B.Pass a “law” to stop children playing video games at midnight.

C.Ask their friends or family for help if they can't control themselves.

D.Restrict children who are under a certain age to buy most games.

【4】What is the best title for the article?

A.A Special Clinic in the UK B.A Mental Illness-Gaming Disorder

C.Assistance for Game Addicts D.Solutions to Curing Game Addiction

29、   How To Be Green?

What does “green” mean? “Green” is more than just a color. 【1】   Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? Here's a four-step guide to being green.

Reduce It!

【2】 For instance, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warms up the water.

Reuse It!

Sometimes people call our society a “throwaway society”. It means that we're a little too willing to throw away old stuff(东西) and buy new stuff. 【3】 . For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop(篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?

Recycle It!

Recycling has never been easier. Many communities(社区) will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.

Enjoy It!

It's true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that's ready for you to explore.  【4】  Go for a hike, visit local nature centers and gardens, and climb up mountains.

But before you travel around the world, take a look at your own backyard. Find a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden.  【5】

A.Get out there and get your hands dirty.

B.Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth.

C.It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.

D.When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth.

E.You can start locally by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city.
