27、School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun — maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks. “
And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”
【1】Why was the plastic mask used according to Paragraph 1?
A.To check the patient’s brain.
B.To reduce the patient’s headache.
C.To prevent the patient from throwing up.
D.To protect the patient’s brain during the treatment.
【2】What can we know about the radiation treatment?
A.It can be received at home.
B.It has to be finished in a month.
C.It may make the patients feel worried.
D.It will cause huge physical pain for patients.
【3】What does Cook do to help the children being treated?
A.Offer them some free masks as gifts.
B.Show them their favorite movies or TV shows.
C.Dress them up as cartoon characters.
D.Make the masks more interesting to kids.
【4】What does the author want to show by telling this story?
A.Love can treat the terrible sickness.
B.Kindness can bring warmth and joy.
C.Health matters to everyone.
D.Creativity leads to success.
28、 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?

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?

The Safe (保险箱)
----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich
Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.
The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect!

32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many teenagers in high school today try out for sports because they think it will make them popular with their friends. But there are of course many other benefits to be gained from sports in school.
With home computers, video games, and TVs becoming more and more popular, it has become so much easier for teens to be by themselves rather than going out with friends. Teens used to go hanging out at the mall or drive around town, but now they just sit at home. While they may not find a new best friend when going out, they will learn how to interact with fellows, which they will find useful later in life. Therefore, getting teens into a sport gives them an opportunity to go out and socialize.
One of the biggest problems in our society today is obesity (肥胖), and it is not just a problem with adults. More and more teens are becoming overweight due to poor eating habits and a lack of exercise. Joining in a sport will help them go out and take some exercise without feeling pressured to lose weight or get in shape.
Sports also provides parents with a great way to bond with their children by showing up to support them at games and helping them with their practices. These days, it is becoming harder for parents to show love and support to teens. Through sports, they can not only spend time with their kids and talk to them, but also have a chance to chat with their friends and learn about who they are hanging out with.
Parents may think “but my kid isn’t good enough to make their school team”. Actually, there are plenty of other places besides schools to play sports. Just take a look around the area and it is certainly not hard to find many sporting activities suitable for teens to join in.
