26、We live and die by our cell phone, rarely giving it the chance to reboot and refresh. But are you harming the device without knowing it? We asked the experts. For many of us, our smartphones have become a touchstone of life. It affects how we do our jobs, interact with our friends and family, and even how we access important information like our banking, and healthcare. But are you taking proper care of it? Experts say that knowing simple care tips, such as how often to shut it down, can drastically affect how well your phone will continue to perform the older it gets. That means the simple knowledge of when to turn it on and off, can cost you hundreds of dollars in prematurely replacing your phone. But just how often do we need to shut off our smartphones? As opposed to how often you need to shut down your computer, your smartphone has a more hard and fast rule you should live by: once a week, shut it off, let it rest at least one minute, and then you can fire it back up.

There are multiple reasons why you’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week, and it’s for a good cause: retaining memory, preventing crashes, running more smoothly, and prolonging battery life. Let’s talk first about all the apps you use on a daily basis. “In most cases, the app isn’t really closed but rather, it’s put into a state where it can be restarted faster,” says Bob Motamedi, a Los Angeles-based tech consultant. “Now think about how many apps are open, slowly eating memory and battery power on the phone, and think about all those times you’ve thought that your phone drained entirely too fast that day.” Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gets rid of anything draining your battery.

Here are other things you can do to help prolong your smartphone battery. Crashing happens for various reasons, but not restarting your phone can definitely have an effect here as well, as every update, page loaded, and app installed or deleted will add and remove code in the operating system of the phone. “Sometimes these remnants are incompatible or improperly removed after installation or un-installation,” says Motamedi. “Restarting your phone will eliminate most of these issues and will get your phone working better.”

The good news is that even though failing to restart your phone periodically could zap memory and cause crashes, it won’t directly kill your battery. What could kill your battery is always rushing to recharge. “If you never let your battery drain fully, it will never learn to recharge fully and will shorten the battery’s life,” says Motamedi. “It’s recommended that you let the battery drain down to 0 percent, and then refill it back up to 100 percent.” The same is true for laptops, according to Josh Davis of Abt Electronics in Glenview, Illinois. “After a couple of years of leaving your laptop plugged in all the time, you can expect it not to hold much of a charge at all when you go portable.” In a crunch and need to charge up fast? Check out this trick to charge your phone in just 5 minutes.

To help preserve memory and prevent crashes, consider restarting your smartphone at least once a week. We promise you won’t miss too much in the two minutes it might take to reboot. Meanwhile, you’ll want to stop believing these phone battery and charger myths.

【1】According to the passage, we know that ________.

A．Smartphone is a common thing in our life. It affects our occupations and communication with our friends and relatives, and receives the information of banking, and healthcare.

B．Experts say that knowing simple reserve steps, such as how long to shut it down, can greatly affect how well your phone will work when you buy it.

C．Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gains something draining your battery again.

D．The study showed that failing to restart your phone sometimes could confuse memory and cause crashes, which will directly save your battery.

【2】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．There are some reasons why you should restart your phone not less than once a week, and it’s for a good cause: reserve memory, stopping crashes, running more smoothly, and longer battery life.

B．“Sometimes these remnants are complex or properly removed after installation or un-installation,” says Motamedi.

C．What could kill your battery is always frequently to charge again and again.

D．Restarting devices is a recommended way to preserve the battery for both smartphones and laptops.

【3】What is recommended way to use battery of laptop according to the passage?

A．Let the battery use up to 0 percent then recharge it up to 100 percent, which is a good way for laptops.

B．You’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week.

C．Restarting the phone clears open apps and memory leaks, and gets rid of anything draining your battery.

28、School phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomachaches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.

【1】. Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.

【2】. He or she may become physically ill when ordered to school, or pretend to be sick to avoid going. When the child arrives at school, he or she may run away, or develop behavioral problems in class. When school is discussed, the child can become impatient, upset or angry.

Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor.【3】. As soon as a school phobia is identified, parents should take action too. Like other phobias, school phobia gets worse if it is left untreated, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school.【4】. If bullying (child abuse) is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.

Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies.【5】. Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.

E. This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes.

F. The most effective treatment is to help the child have a sense of success.

G. And the assistance can help parents and school officials support the child.

29、   As early as 2005, there were a number of new stories about dog cloning(克隆) and cat cloning. Animal cloning had been old news for nearly a decade by then, with the revolutionary (革命的) cloning of Dolly the sheep in Scotland.

However, Snuppy was the first pet, a dog, to be cloned. Since the cloning of Snuppy, there has been some very successful cloning of pets and other animals. Lou Hawthorne started BioArts while cloning his beloved mixed-breed dog Missy. Hawthorne was very pleased with the results of the cloning, producing three successful clones that were very alike to the original in character and behavior. In January, 2009, a Florida couple, Ed and Nina Otto, announced that they had paid to have their dog cloned by BioArts.

All new technology is overpriced. For example, personal computers were not very affordable at first. Only after the producing process was improved was it  possible for every family to have a computer. How much room there will be for organizations to reduce the price point on pet cloning without broad demand is of course questionable.

There are many great dogs and cats that can be found at the local dog pound ( 野狗收容所) or are given away for “free to good homes” in classified ads (分类广告). However, there is no limit to the value people place on a beloved pet. The Ottos are a good example of that. If people can buy a dog or cat with predictable behavior and characteristics, there is value in that. There is a predictable market here, though it may always be limited in size.

While pet cloning has not taken off as some hoped, it’s clear that it will become  a bigger market in the future and it will be increasingly possible for people to try this out. With the inevitable (不可避免的) success that cloned pet owners will have, the practice will become more widely accepted and it seems inevitable that there is a future for cloned dogs and cats.

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The brief introduction of pet cloning. B. The behavior of cloned animals.

C. The cases of pet cloning. D. The history of pet cloning.

【2】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Pet cloning will be accepted by everyone.

B. New technology of pet cloning will be invented.

C. Human cloning may one day become a reality.

D. The price of pet cloning may not be cheap.

【3】Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in the third paragraph?

A. cheap B. wonderful

C. expensive D. various

【4】What does the author think of the market of pet cloning?

A. Negative B. Not clear

C. Indifferent D. Optimistic
