The only goal was to get it to fly as far as possible. I had a lot of skills in making paper planes, so I made the best plane I could, and it flew pretty far. One boy made the simplest paper plane. He stood there at the starting line with a normal piece of paper. A minute later, he took the flat piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it down the hallway. We were so surprised at what he did. We never expected things to happen like that. He beat all of us easily. Some of the students got angry and said that he cheated. The physics teacher said, “How so? He doesn’t do anything wrong because a paper ball is indeed (确实) a shape. I like his idea.” Yes, the boy didn’t cheat. He just finished the task in a different way. In our life, what we have learned turns into our experience. We do everything according to it. However, our experience gets in the way of our development sometimes. It stops us from coming up with new ideas and is bad for our creativity. So it is really necessary for us to learn to think outside of the “box”. Then we may discover more and easier ways so that we can have a better result. Just like the boy in the story, we should think creatively. 1. Why did the writer’s paper plane fly pretty far? A. Because he was good at learning physics. B. Because he was good at cheating others. C. Because he was good at making paper planes. 2. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the teacher feels ________ about what the boy did. A. angry B. happy C. bored 3. The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to ________. A. physical knowledge B. our experience C. useful skill 4. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph? A. We should learn to think outside of experience. B. We should do everything honestly. C. We should learn other’s experience. 5. How did the student show creativity? A. By sticking to rules. B. By using an unusual idea. C. By doing nothing. B People are playing video games everywhere these days, whether they’re riding a bus or sitting in a restaurant. Some of them enjoy these games so much that they can’t put them down. But is this a healthy habit? The World Health Organization (WHO) doesn’t think so. It considered “gaming disorder (障碍)” as a mental disorder in its International Classification of Diseases. “Gaming disorder” means the lasting or repeating video-gaming behavior, whether online or offline. Of course, not everyone who plays video games has this disorder. It has three main characteristics (特征). The first sign is when the player loses control over his or her gaming habits. The second is when playing games becomes more important than other activities for the player. The third is when the condition leads to serious problems in the player’s personal and family life. Many experts have welcomed the decision, saying that it puts the condition on the map as something to take seriously. It is believed that new services to treat this disorder will appear following the WHO classification. In fact, some countries are already working to solve this problem. South Korea has introduced a law preventing children under 16 from playing online games between midnight and 6 a. m. And children under 12 have to be watched by their parents while using the Internet. Chinese tech company Tencent is also setting limits on the amount of time that teenagers can play its games. Children between 12 and 18 years old can only play two hours per day. 6. A player may have “gaming disorder” if he or she ________. A. has mental problems B. can’t stop playing video games C. prefers offline games to online ones 7. What does “the decision” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The WHO listed ‘gaming disorder’ as a mental disorder. B. New services will be available to treat “gaming disorder”. C. The WHO wrote a new report of its classification of diseases. 8. In South Korea, people have to be ________ if they want to play online games at 2:00 a.m. A. at least 16 years old B. over 12 years old C. between 12 and 18 years old 9. What can we infer from the passage? A. Most teenagers enjoy playing video games. B. Parents don’t take gaming disorder seriously. C. ‘Gaming disorder’ is a common problem around the world. 10. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. Avoiding “Gaming Disorder” B. Dealing with “Gaming Disorder” C. Learning about “Gaming Disorder” C Can you imagine the life without smartphones and Wi-Fi? Most people think it is difficult to live such a life. In their mind, the life without them must be hard. However, in Green Bank, the local people don’t think so. Green Bank is a small town in the US. It is home to a large radio telescope (望远镜). The radio telescope is very useful and some scientists use it to study the universe. Radio waves from the ground can affect the work of the telescope. Smartphones and Wi-Fi. They are not allowed to use microwave ovens, either. Now, there are about 180 people living in Green Bank. Many of them don’t think their life is convenient. A boy called Tom said, “When I am free, I often go to my friends’ houses to talk and play with them. I don’t think that the life without smartphones and Wi-Fi is boring.” A lady living in Green Bank said she was happy to talk with her friends face to face. She also has more chances to shake hands with them or to give them a hug. She really enjoys living without smartphones and Wi-Fi. 11. We can guess that Green Bank is probably ________ without smartphones and Wi-Fi. A. noisier B. quieter C. more crowded 12. What is the purpose of the radio telescope? A. To monitor traffic signals.
