26、Studies have shown most people fail to realize how much time they spend on their smart-phones each day.

Frank and Amelia's family were put to a test, using a free app called "Moment-screen Time Tracker". The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.

“Honestly, I don't feel like I'm on my phone a lot," Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him. The children's times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.

Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members' phone use has become problematic.

“If we hear more than once,     'Do you have to be on your phone right now? Can you please put your phone down? Did you hear what I said?' it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives," she said.

Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.

She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people's feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smart-phones to communicate with other people she said.

【1】How did the families tested by the app feel about the test results?

A．Satisfied.

B．Doubtful.

C．Uninterested.

D．Astonished.

【2】Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5?

A．To encourage people to live a simple life.

B．To explain the signs of problematic phone use.

C．To show the importance of close relationships.

D．To ask people if they use phones too much.

【3】What did Lind Seal want to convey in the last paragraph?

A．We should make more face-to-face communication.

B．We can understand each other better using smartphones.

C．Our ability of empathy is strengthened by smartphones.

D．Smartphone usage improves the teens' emotional skills.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A guidebook.

C．A novel.

D．A magazine.

27、Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health. But how about for your sleep? 【1】 Let's learn more about the relationship between exercise and sleep.

How does exercise influence sleep?

People who exercise regularly get better sleep than those who don't. 【2】That may lead to a decrease in body temperature at night, allowing people to experience deeper sleep.【3】

For most people, the time when they take exercise doesn't matter. For too much exercise, the late afternoon might be the best. For ongoing training, morning might be preferable. Taking exercise at night, you should gently do stretching （拉伸）after that. This will let your body know it is time to calm down.

Which type of exercise is best for sleep?

The best type of exercise is the one you enjoy enough to stick with and you should make it a regular part of your routine. 【4】

How much exercise do you need for better sleep?

【5】However, it's wise to work out about 150 minutes every week, or about 30 minutes each day, five days a week. Little things you do all day long can add up. From taking the stairs to walking instead of driving. Try to spend fewer minutes sitting during the day.

A．What can help you sleep more soundly?

B．What time of day is best for exercise?

C．Either yoga class or lifting weights can help you sleep well.

D．The answer is that being active during the day can improve the sleep at night.

E．Exercise increases total sleep time, which leads to greater sleep satisfaction.

F．The amount will vary, depending on factors such EIS age and fitness level.

G．Exercise increases the amount of a chemical, which can increase body temperature.

28、Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
