I’m considering buying a cell phone for her, but I’m nervous. How can I keep her safe? Am I worrying too much? —Nadine You’re not worrying too much—that’s for sure. Cell phones can bring bad results to kids. Research shows that all kids who are allowed to keep cell phones in their room overnight have replied to a late-night text message. It also shows that half of all kids say they are addicted (上瘾) to their cell phones and sleep badly because of that. Their parents agree, and 36% of parents say they have daily arguments (争吵) with their children about their cell phones. So it’s normal to worry when your daughter is ready for her first cell phone, even if you think she is responsible (负责的). The cell phone is an instrument of connection. It allows people to stay in touch. However, it’s also a symbol of separation. It means the dangers in the outside world may do harm to your child, without you there to stop them. Luckily, there’s something you and your daughter can do to avoid the risks. If your daughter agrees to some rules, you can give her one cell phone. The following are the rules I made for my kids. Why not make some like these? ·Never use it during meals, in class or after 9 pm. ·Always ask before sending a message, photo or video. ·Never give the phone number or home address to strangers. ·Leave the phone in the living room overnight. ·Don’t download apps (应用程序) without asking. —Judy 31. Why did Nadine write to Judy? A. To make friends with her. B. To ask for advice. C. To give her some safety rules. D. To order a phone for her daughter. 32. Judy shows the bad results of cell phones by _________. A. explaining reasons B. sharing her experiences C. reporting research findings (研究发现) D. comparing them with other inventions 33. The underlined word “normal” means _________ in Chinese. A. 自私的 B. 正常的 C. 多余的 D. 痛苦的 34. Which of the following is Judy’s opinion? A. Kids shouldn’t take cell phones to school. B. It’s okay for kids to use cell phones during meal. C. Kids can decide who to send a photo or message to. D. Kids shouldn’t keep cell phones near them for the night. 35.

Different people have different opinions. Ms Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. When kids get older, they will have to do housework. So there is no need for them to do it now. She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult. However, Mr. Smith disagrees with her. He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence (独立) and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. 51. What’s the name of the magazine? _________________________________________________________ 52.

I think we should eat more green food and less junk food. It’s good for us to take exercise for three or four times a week. What’s more, we should get enough sleep. We should get up and go to bed early and don’t stay up late. We should remember to wash our hands before meals to keep clean. Exercise is fun and relaxing. It’s healthy for the mind and body. Good habits lead to a better future and they help us get good grades and live happily. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
