22、 Children who spend too much time on smartphones and computers are at risk for a lifetime of health problems, including cancer-causing obesity ( 肥胖症 ) and eyesight problems, according to a new study.
The study, carried out by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) in UK, found sedentary behaviors - like staring at an iPhone - are among the causes of people ’ s weight gain. The review shows that being overweight or obesity is related to several types of cancer, including breast and stomach, but physical activity can reduce that risk.
"New technologies have encouraged people to increase the time they spend on sedentary behaviors such as sitting in cars and watching television as well as using computers, mobile phones or other electronic devices, "the report said. "Low levels of physical activity have been linked to a number of health problems including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, poor bone health and depression.
According to the study, 14.1 million people across the globe were diagnosed ( 诊断 ) with cancer in 2012 and 8.2 million died from cancer, but that about 40 percent of cancer cases can be prevented. "This global cancer burden is expected to increase to 21.7 million cases and 13 million deaths by 2030,” it said.
WCRF also warned that a lot more snacks will be eaten as a result of spending too much time on screen and lack of physical activity. It said about 1.97 billion adults and more than 338 million children around the world were considered overweight in 2016.
Meanwhile, kids who love playing video games are at a greater risk for developing "digital myopia ” ( 数字近视 ). For every hour a child plays video games, their risk for short-sightedness increases by 3 percent. The number of children suffering from myopia has doubled over the last 50 years, from 7.2 percent to 16.4 percent-and experts conclude that the shocking number is a result of too much screen time.

23、 A recent study shows that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis. They can't walk into their office without Rihanna's voice singing “work, work, work” in their mind. That was commonly known as earworm songs — those sticky tunes that continue to play in their heads.
Luckily, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Margulis, a professor who has studied earworm songs.
Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to be small parts of a song — not the whole track. And “the songs you've heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.
But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing in your head. “Once I was at the doctor's office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gaston — a character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldn't get “Be our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn't thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify what touched of her earworm: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says.
Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new — the unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.
“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don't require their full attention — stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.
Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it's almost like we're singing along with it. If you make your mouth do something else — chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friend — that can kick out the earworm.
You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may find “closure” and relief.
【1】You probably experience an earworm song in _______
A.a song worth memorable B.a song sung by a recently famous singer.
C.a song heard very often recently D.a song in a famous movie
【2】The underlined words touched of in paragraph 4 means _______.
A.left off B.set off
C.took D.put off
【3】We can infer that earworm songs may _______.
A.stem from modern technology
B.hurt one's feeling
C.be experienced whenever someone sees a poster
D.help regain lost memories
【4】The purpose of the last three paragraphs is to introduce _____ .
A.Why we hear earworm songs B.Where to find earworm songs
C.How to get over earworm songs D.When we hear earworm songs
24、Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
【1】The first paragraph tells us __________.
A. none needs friends B. making friends is the need in people's life
C. we always need friends around us D. we need to be alone
【2】Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people?
A. A house. B. A room.
C. A library. D. A village.
【3】If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.
A. they feel happier and healthier B. they get a lot of help from their friends

26、读后续写
Maggie sat in the attic (阁楼), hugging her doll and thinking about Tom. She was very excited because Tom was coming home from the Academy. She missed him when he was away at school and always counted the days until he would come home for the holidays. Now that he was coming home, they would have lots of fun. They would go fishing. They would take long walks along the river. There was only one thing that made her upset: she was worried about the rabbits. Tom had told her to take care of his rabbits while he was away, but she had forgotten and the rabbits had died. How could she tell Tom? He would be angry.
Just then she heard the sound of the carriage coming. She threw her doll on the floor and ran out. Her mother and father were already outside. Instantly Tom got out of the carriage, Mrs. Tulliver threw her arms around his neck and cried, “There you are, my sweet boy!” Then Maggie gave him such a tight hug that his face went pink.
“Hello, mom. Hello, Maggie!” said Tom.
Mr. Tulliver shook Tom's hand, and they all went in for lunch. As soon as lunch was over, Tom turned to his sister and said, “Let’s go, Maggie.”
Maggie jumped up and delighted to go anywhere with Tom, and holding hands, they ran out of the house. They ran through the fields together, climbing over fences and splashing (溅起水花) through the mud. As they passed by a tree near the river, a lovely bird, singing merrily in it, caught their attention.
Having enjoyed the bird’s song, Tom said abruptly, “Well, let’s go to see the rabbits, Maggie. I hope you took good care of them.”
Maggie looked up at Tom’s face with anxiety. “Please don’t be annoyed with me, Tom.” She said.
“What do you mean? What’s happened to the rabbits?” he demanded in an angry voice.
“I’m sorry, Tom. I just forgot about them, and now they’re all dead.”
Tom’s face went red with anger. “I don’t love you, Maggie.” he yelled.
“Oh, Tom, don’t say that.” begged Maggie. “I’m sorry. It was an accident, Tom. Please forgive me.”
“No, I won’t forgive you. You are a naughty girl. Just go away and leave me alone!”
