But one thing 13 me. I could never get a perfect mark on my math tests like some of the girls did. Every time I brought home my report card, before my mom read it, she could guess what the math score was — it had always been sitting just above 90. My mom even 14 about it.

And I don't check.” “I see,” Mom said. “When the questions are simple, you are not careful enough. So any mistake 16 you the perfect mark.” She continued, “But I don't think copying an extra zero is a 17 mistake. If you're calculating (计算) a number of a spaceship, extra zero may cause a total failure of the launch (发射).” “I see. I'll try to be fast and careful, too.” Our 18 continued. “How about the difficult questions?” asked Mom. “I tried to solve them, but they are hard.” Mom laughed, “Difficult questions take a long time to solve. The first thing you have to do is to understand the question. Then you do your best to solve it. And you never give up easily, right?” Mom's 19 made it really easy.

No one in his school had better eyesight than him. When school started after the summer holiday, Jimmy joined the archery team again. He shot his first arrow, but it did not hit the target (靶子). “No problem,” he said, “I just had something in my eye. I'll get it this time.” He tried it again and missed again. His best friend said, “Hey Jimmy, I think you need glasses.” Everyone laughed because they all knew what good eyesight Jimmy had. After class, the gym - teacher spoke with Jimmy. “You know, Jimmy, you should get your eyes checked. You may actually need glasses. A lot of great players wear glasses.” But Jimmy said that he was fine. Over the next few weeks, Jimmy played more sports, but he was not the same as before. He missed shots again. Finally, the gym teacher said, “Come with me.” He took Jimmy to the doctor's office. There was an eye chart on the wall. Jimmy could read the top three lines. But when he tried to read the fourth line, he got two letters wrong. Jimmy was kind of worried. The doctor smiled and said, “Jimmy, take it easy. You just need glasses.” “Glasses?” Jimmy said, “How terrible!” Anyway, Jimmy got his glasses. At first, he felt a little funny wearing them. But when he went to archery practice, he made perfect shots. His classmates cheered (欢呼) for him because the old Jimmy was back.

However, homework is just one of the things she's doing while her eyes are fixed on the computer screen. As well as studying for her biology exam, Lisa is also listening to music, chatting with her best friend online, and occasionally (偶尔) texting people on her mobile phone. “My parents keep telling me not to multi - task (多任务) while studying, but they don't understand that it helps me concentrate (集中注意力),” she says. It's usual for us to do several things at the same time, but in our fast - paced technological (技术的) society the 第4页/共7页 situation has come to a head. Young people today spend nearly 6.5 hours a day using different kinds of media and doing different things at the same time. This is the reason why they are called the “multi - tasking generation” or “Generation M”. But how do their brains deal with multi - tasking? Automatic (无意识的) actions like walking and chatting on the phone can be done at the same time. But when it comes to learn new information, multi - tasking has a bad influence (影响) according to the researches. Dividing your attention among many activities makes the knowledge you get harder to use later on. We are not saying you shouldn't multi - task, just don't do it while you are trying to learn something new. According to experts, it's also necessary (必需的) to take time away from electronic media. “At the sound of the bell, all my students reach into their bags and take out their mobile phones to text messages to their friends. It is as if they're afraid of silence,” says Casey Roberts, a middle school teacher. “Their mobile phones, laptops and game consoles (控制台) have become extensions (延伸) of themselves. I really think that Generation M should take time to relax. There's life beyond (超越) the screen and the pleasure of face - to - face communication cannot be replaced (替代),” says Casey Roberts. 27. You are most probably called Generation M if ____. A. you have different hobbies B. you are good at using different media C. you often argue with your parents about different things D. you use electronic media to do several different things at the same time 28. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. It's hard for our brains to deal with multi - tasking when we do automatic actions. B. It's harmful for people to multi - task while learning new information. C. Multi - tasking can make people learn more from the activities. D. Multi - tasking has more positive influences. 29. Casey Roberts probably agrees that ____. A. the life beyond the screen is silent B. students should study more knowledge for the exams C. students should take time to relax by using electronic media D. it is necessary to have face - to - face communication although the technology is developing D Having too many friends doesn't sound like the kind of thing anyone should really worry about. After all, what can be wrong with having a large group of people to play with? According to the latest survey (调查), the average (平均) number of friends people have on social media (社交 媒体) is between 300 and 500. Research suggests that this number is much higher for teenagers. Is it possible to keep meaningful relationships (关系) with so many people, especially those you may never meet in person? We are just one click away from making new friends on social media. This has led some people to question how honest the friendship is. For example, when I see that a friend has just uploaded (发布) photos from his latest holiday on social media, I'd reply with a comment (评论) like “Wow, looks great!” even if it doesn't. The unwritten agreement 第5页/共7页 is that the next time I post, that friend will reply similarly, so I'll feel better about myself. Not long ago, I met someone who loved music as much as I did at a concert. We got along very well that evening, although the music was so loud! We even agreed to each other on social media. Now, I see her photos on social media, and I “like” her photos, but I'm pretty certain that we'll never meet in real life. It is just another example of how life has changed in recent years. Perhaps it shows how social media has made friendships less honest, turning them into meaningless “adds” and “likes”. Real friendships, on the other hand, take time to build. My most important relationships haven't grown out of a few unimportant online conversations. It's taken years of shared experiences to develop strong and lasting relationships. And these for me and I believe for most other people too are much more valuable and meaningful. It's something that cannot be replicated on social media. No matter how many times you have “liked” a person's posts, you cannot get the same result. It has been said that technology (技术) is destroying (破坏) our relationships with other people. I wouldn't go so far as to say that. However, it seems that it has changed the way that we manage our friendships. But in the end, we can decide how real and meaningful those friendships are. 30. What can we learn about making friends on social media? A. People often share their real feelings with online friends. B. Teenagers are more likely to meet online friends in person. C. Communicating online is the first step to making real friends. D. People always expect good comments on their posts from friends. 31. Why does the writer mention the experience of making a friend in Paragraph 4? A. To suggest an easy way of making friends. B. To explain why people make friends on social media. C. To stress the importance of making friends in real life. D. To show how technology has changed the way of making friends. 32. The word “replicated” in Paragraph 6 probably means ____. A. shared B. learned C. copied D. tested 33. The writer probably agrees that ____. A. it's important to be honest with online friends B. having more online friends makes people feel better C. social media helps make relationships between people better D. true friendships needs shared experiences and honest communication 四、阅读短文，回答问题（共 4 小题，每小题 2 分，共 10 分） Reading with Rover is a reading program where children read to dogs, based in addition to Reading with Rover, there are many reading programs around the country.
