作业2 主题拓展作业
Ⅴ 阅读
Many Silicon Valley parents are becoming more concerned about preventing their children from using screens. Some parents think that even a little screen time can be extremely addictive, so it is better if their children avoid using or seeing these devices completely. However, it is difficult for working adults in the 21st century to give up using a phone at home. So, it's simpler to employ someone to do this.
“Silicon Valley nanny (保姆)”, who takes children back to a time without screens every day is widely needed. From Cupertino to San Francisco, it's widely agreed that screen time is harmful to youngsters. Therefore, parents are requesting nannies to keep phones, tablets and computers in a hidden place. Others even offer nophone agreements.

Research shows that spending too much time on technology can harm young minds. For example, teenagers who use social media frequently are more likely to feel depressed and anxious. Insomnia (失眠) rates have also increased amongst this age group, and an increasing number of children display the signs that they can't focus attention. These seemingly minor (轻微的) problems could become significant challenges for future generations.

Ⅶ 读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“No matter how hard we try, some things are just not meant to be,” Andrew thought bitterly. He looked down at the hospital bills in his hands and tears filled his eyes. His poor mom had been so ill, and here he was complaining and feeling sorry for himself! He should be praying for her recovery, not crying over a lost, childish dream.
Andrew was nineteen, and as far back as he could remember, he'd wanted to become a software engineer. That dream had become harder to reach after his dad died when Andrew was twelve. His mom had been left to raise him on her own, and it was hard to make ends meet. So Andrew started doing parttime jobs.

Every cent he earned he put away for college. When he was sixteen, he got himself a summer job at a local IT company, where his insight and intelligence caught the owner’s eye. Mr Lewis, the CEO, made Andrew the assistant of his best and most innovative developer, and the boy thrived (不断成长) on the challenge. He couldn’t wait to go to college!
Unfortunately, when Andrew was in his senior year in high school, his mother became very ill. The usually energetic woman was constantly tired and in pain. She went from doctor to doctor, but no one knew exactly what was wrong with her. They sent her off to do dozens of expensive tests, then shook their heads over the results. Andrew's mom started getting weaker and weaker, and thinner and thinner until she could barely walk.

Andrew added up the medical bills and was shocked. They owed over $23,000! Andrew pulled out his bank book. He had close to $30,000 in his savings account. He'd painstakingly (艰苦地) saved up for years, so he'd be able to go to college, but his mom's health was more important.

[精彩范文]
The next day, Andrew went to see Mr Lewis. He asked Mr Lewis if he could have a fulltime job at his company. Mr Lewis looked at him for a long time and said “No!” in an angry voice. Andrew was shocked. He apologized and left as quickly as he could. He went straight to the hospital and paid off the medical bills. His savings account was almost empty, and Mr Lewis had been rude, but his mother had great news. The new doctor said that his mother's disease could be treated with medication.

That night, Mr Lewis appeared on Andrew's doorstep with a great idea. “Andrew,” he apologized, “I apologize for the way I spoke to you this morning, and I refused your request for a very good reason. You are a bright and talented young man, and I want you to go to college. My company will pay for your tuition, on the condition that you work for me for 5 years after you graduate.” Andrew accepted happily, and then he did well in college and when he graduated, he started to work for Mr Lewis. The company became more than just the place where Andrew worked; it became his second family.
