26、Should Parents Teach Children How to Tweet?

Social media is a seemingly endless source of concern for parents, with worries that it weakens their children’s confidence and attention spans. But others counter that it could also be broadening their horizons.

The latest round of worry was sparked by a study of the impact of social media use on 8-12- year-olds published by Anne Longfield, Children’s Commissioner for England. The report focused on 32 children, who said they used social media to stay connected with friends and family and to have fun, by watching videos for example. But they also described pressures from constant contact, online comments that weaken their self-esteem, and the need to shape offline activities to make them shareable. “You see your friends going ice skating, partying or talking about how much revision they have done, and it can make you feel inadequate,” says Bea, a junior school student from Bristol, UK. “It’s just so hard to get away from.”

Children have to take risks on their journeys to adulthood, and desires to fit in and be popular existed before Mark Zuckerberg came along with Facebook. However, in previous generations these pressures came largely from people they knew, and they mostly stayed outside the home. Now the pressures could come from any one of the nearly 3 billion people online, and follow them from school to home, and can even continue through the night.

The pressures do get on parents’ nerves, among which the utmost concern is how their children can be protected from harms, given that social media is now integral to the way many young people interact. A good starting point is a basic understanding of childhood development milestones.

Broadly, children have a high dependency on carers for security and guidance up to the age of 5, increasing independence and self-care from 6 to 11, and increasing autonomy and growing reliance on peers from 12-18 years old. Against this background, the suitability of social media for children of different ages should be considered respectively.

According to Longfield’s study, children should be taught about online safety from an early age, better before secondary school. There is growing evidence that efforts need to be extended to provide earlier guidance on less extreme but more common risks, including oversharing, low selfesteem, addiction and insomnia. The evidence suggests she is right. However, approaches that focus merely on the potential negatives are unlikely to work.

“My school has tried to do a lot, but it often involves trying to drill into us how bad social media can be,” says Bea. “People of my age really like social media, so I think a better approach would be if they said ‘Although it is good, here are some negatives’.”

【1】We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ______.

A．children used to face more dangers

B．Facebook gives children the chance to fit in

C．parents give their children much pressure at home

D．children’s pressures may come from strangers nowadays

【2】According to the passage, parents’ major concern for children is ______.

A．possible harm from social media

B．comments from online friends

C．their reliance on social media

D．pressures from oversharing

【3】We can infer from Bea’s words that ______.

A．teenagers don’t believe social media has negatives

B．adults overemphasize the bad effects of social media

C．it is easy for teenagers to get addicted to social media

D．social media helps teenagers know their friends better

27、   If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car­plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.

“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle, ”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”

The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.

The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.

The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.

The car­plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.

The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full­plane parachute.

“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said. So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.

【1】We can learn from the first two paragraphs that________.

A. people might drive a car­plane in 2012

B. car­planes will be popular in 2012

C. both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land

D. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts

【2】It takes the car­plane one minute to________.

A. fold and unfold its wings B. meet flying safety regulations

C. land in the airport D. unfold wings for flying

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The car­plane needs a runway to take off and land.

B. The car­plane may fly as high as normal planes.

C. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.

D. People can park the car­plane in the garage at their home.

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Cars with Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane

B. Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car­Plane?

C. A More Convenient and Cheaper Way To Fly

D. Cars with Wings May Be Just Around the Corner

28、   When traveling abroad or even in your own country, you may have numerous opportunities to meet the locals of your destination.【1】Here are some tips on how to meet locals while traveling.

Chat with locals online.【2】.Don't be hesitant to ask them for suggestions on what to visit, where to travel, and where any locally popular attractions are located. This will let you get a sense of how the people in the area really live.

Talk to people on your way. On the plane, train, or bus ride to your destination, try starting a conversation with someone. Chances are you may find a person native to the area or who knows someone that lives there.

Ask questions. Upon arriving at your destination, ask the staff at your hotel.【3】.

【4】.Kindness goes a long way, especially from tourists visiting a foreign destination. Make sure to research the customs, traditions and cultures of the people you'll be interacting with, and always greet people in a friendly manner.

Use community-marketplace platforms.【5】, including accommodation, dining experiences and transport. These allow you to see their lifestyles from a first-hand viewpoint.

A. Be polite

B. Visit smaller towns

C. Various travel communities allow you to use services that locals provide

D. Schedule a day or two to stop in smaller towns where more locals are usually found

E. They may give you a better answer than a traditional guidebook

F. Getting to know these people can afford a unique trip experience

G. Websites allow you to connect with people who live where you will be visiting

32、Hey, man,

Good to hear from you again. And good timing. Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, who’s ________ one of those rough periods at work. I wish I had better advice.

You asked, “How do you define success?” What a ________ question!

In 2005, I made only $22,500 a year in Rocky Mount. Another two sportswriters, Travis and Jeff, in their mid-20s too, had come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount. We went out to ________ our games, and sent the final pages to the printer by our 1:30 a.m. ________. On the best nights, we’d play Wiffle ball in the ________ until 4 a.m., laughing and joking.

We all left there within a year, as ________. Travis eventually ________ a big-time job covering the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,00 Twitter ________.

Last time Jeff and I met, he said something about Rocky Mount. “I didn’t ________ it then, but honestly, when I ________, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.”

What is success? Buddy, I don’t know. On those late nights, it was making good contact on Travis’s curve ball. Now it’s running a tenth of a mile ________ than I did last week. A year ago, I wrote a story and no readers ________ me about it, which these days is a success. But nobody said anything nice ________, so is it a failure? I don’t know.

College students ask me for ________ every now and then Maybe that’s success. But last night an editor at a publication I’ve been dying to write for ________ with the murderous words “This just isn’t the right ________ for us”.

Maybe it’s beyond work. In June 2018, my dad visited and made it the whole weekend without falling while ________ to his wheelchair. To another person, ________ success might be a night sleeping on a bench without getting wet. You get the ________.

Maybe success isn’t ________ in achievements; maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at.

Thank you for writing, old friend.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and  had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick . They decided to test for COVID-19 【9】 the surge in cases in New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.The first tiger at the zoo, which has been shut since mid-March, began showing 【10】 of illness on March 27, according to the US Department of Agriculture National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

35、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

41、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

There is nothing unusual about a single language dying. Communities have come and gone throughout history, and with them their language. But what is happening today is extraordinary, judged by the early standards. According to the best estimates(估计), about half of the total 6,000 languages are going to die out in the next century. On average, there is a language dying out somewhere in the world every two weeks or so.

It is too late to do anything to help many languages, where the speakers are too few or too old, and where the community is too busy just trying to survive to care about their language. But many languages are not in such a serious position. Often, where languages are seriously endangered, there are things that can be done to give new life to them.

There are some famous cases showing what can be done — Welsh alone among the Celtic languages, is not only stopping its steady decline towards extinction(灭绝) but showing signs of real growth. Two Language Acts protect the status of Welsh, and its presence is increasingly in evidence wherever you travel in Wales. Maori in New Zealand has been maintained by a system of so-called "language nest", which provides children under five with a setting in which they are frequently exposed to the language. The hope is that the children will in turn become role models to a new generation of young children as they grow older. If good descriptions and materials are available, even extinct languages can be saved. Kaurna from South Australia, is an example. This language had been extinct for about a century, but had been quite well documented. So, when a strong movement grew for its revival(复活), it was possible to bring it back from death.

It is too soon to predict the future of these revived languages, but in some parts of the world they are attracting the very range of positive attitudes and grass roots support. In such unexpected but heart-warming ways we might see the grand total of languages slightly increased.
