26、Parents can use platform-level controls to set limits on which apps your kids can download. But those tools don’t allow you to manage what kids see on those apps or prevent them from communicating with strangers. In this case, parental controls come in. 【1】

First, two big important rules parents should follow: 【2】 Apps contain default (默认的) settings that provide protections based on the declared age of the user. Do have continuing open conversations with your children about keeping safe online. 【3】

Then, with those in mind, here’s what to know about social media parental controls and how to use them (take Tiktok for example):

Where to start: Read TikTok’s comprehensive Guardian’s Guide.

Default settings: For teens ages 13 to 15, accounts are automatically set to private. Other teens can change their account to public but their videos would be shown only to friends.

【4】 It’s also unavailable by default for 16-and 19-year-olds but they can change the setting to allow messaging with friends.

Optional settings: With a TikTok account, parents can limit the time their teens spend on TikTok, restrict age-inappropriate content and set messaging restrictions. Parents can also determine whether their teen’s account is private or public. 【5】

A．Direct messaging is unavailable for teens ages 13 to 15.

B．The settings are secured with passwords, so teens can’t change them.

C．Here is a guide for using the parental controls in the social media apps.

D．Don’t lie about your kids’ ages when signing up for apps, or let them do it.

E．This is useless if you’re handing your phone over for your children to play with.

F．After all, parental controls aren’t perfect, and kids can find ways to disable them.

G．TikTok allows kids under 13 to be on the app, but in a more controlled environment.

27、Some people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty and crunchy together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises.It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while incr eatasing the measure of crunchiness（松脆）.

It may go some way to explain Why airline food is widely complained about by both the workers and paddengers.Andy Woods,a researcher,said,“It's a general opinion that plane foods aren't fantastic,but I'm sure airlines do their best,so we wondered if there were other reasons,One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect.NASA gives their space explorers very strong -tassting foods,because for some reason,they can't taste food that Strongly-^again, it may have something ti do with the background noise.”

In a studr ,48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening tonoting or noise through earphone. Meanwhile they rated(划分等级) the foods. In noisier settings,foods were rated less or sweet than they were when it was silent,but were rated crunchier.“The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud,your food,

attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.

28、The London Underground (The Tube）

The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.

It’s most necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd (荒谬的) price of £ 4.80 (Zone 1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster card, a single fare is £ 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.

On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.

Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.

The Bus System

Outside the center of London, Tube stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.

Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £ 1.50 if using only buses, the fare is capped at £ 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless users.

River Services

There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.

National Rail

Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HSI.

【1】When taking the London Underground, ________.

A. you should buy tickets with cash

B. you can save more money with a single ticket

C. you can go to any place in London quickly

D. you are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days

【2】If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass ________.

A. London Bridge     B. Stratford

C. Canary Wharf      D. Tower Hill

【3】To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use ________.

A. The London Underground   B. The Bus System

C. The DLR and the Tram    D. National Rail

I waited…and waited…After half an hour of ringing the bell,I decided to find out what was going on.I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb up the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came.They thought that I was trying to rob the house!”

“Luckily,the woman came downstairs.She’d gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog.I was in such a hurry to get away that I forgot to ask her for the fare(车资，车费).”

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

It is not unusual for us to gather with our nearest and dearest on the weekends. But do you know that holidays, much like relationships, can be “made, 【1】 and broken” through conversations? Deborag Tannen, a Georgetown University linguistics（语言学）professor, believes so. She offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table and beyond. Let’s take a look.

A round dining table is best for 【2】 a lively conversation because everyone faces one another.

Avoid 【3】 grandparents at the ends of a rectangular table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. Elderly people may feel lonely there because they will be 【4】 to hear or keep up with a conversation.

Women prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk. Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed keeping staring on the TV,” says Tannen. “They’ll still be 【5】, though.”

Be 【6】 that people have different ways of talking. Each person has a different sense of tone, rhythm, timing and how long of a pause is normal in a conversation. Pay attention to people who seem left out. If you feel you are doing all the talking, hold back to give others a chance to join in. If you feel you aren’t getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start talking before it seems natural or 【7】.

Some families find that gatherings go more 【8】 if they participate in an outdoor activity. Going to a park for a walk may be more 【9】 than sitting around chatting.
