26、The choice of the smartphone provides valuable information about its owner.

This is one of the findings of a study conducted by Heather Shaw, from the University of Lincoln's School of Psychology. Miss Shaw and her fellow researchers conducted two studies of personality differences between iPhone and Android smartphone users.

In the first study the researchers asked 240 participants to complete a questionnaire about characteristics they associated with users of each smartphone brand. In the second study they tested these stereotypes (模式化形象) against actual personalities of 530 Android and iPhone smartphone users.

The results of the first study show that Android users are thought to have greater levels of honesty, humility (谦逊), agreeableness and openness but that Android users are seen as less outgoing than iPhone users.

The results of the second study show that most of the personality stereotypes do not occur in reality, as only honesty and humility are found in greater amounts among Android users.

However, they do find that women are twice more likely to own an iPhone than an Android Phone. When researchers measured the characteristic "avoidance of similarity" which describes whether people like having the same products as others, Android users avoided similarity more than iPhone users. Finally, iPhone users thought it was more important to have a high status phone than Android users.

Heather explained, "This study provides new insights (见解) into personality differences between different types of smartphone users. The smartphone choice is the most basic level of smartphone personalisation (个性化), and even this can tell us a lot about the user. Imagine how personalities relate to the applications people download if we further research. It is becoming more and more apparent that smartphones are becoming a mini digital version of the user, and many of us don't like it when other people use our phones because it can reveal so much about us. "

【1】Actually, compared with iPhone users, Android users are ________.

A．honest

B．outgoing

C．agreeable

D．open with people

【2】According to the studies, Android users ________.

A．tend to avoid similarity

B．own a high status phone

C．are mostly women

D．like the same products as others

【3】As Heather explained, personalities may be related to ________.

A．the status

B．application choices

C．smartphone users

D．digital products

【4】The best title of the passage is "________".

A．How to Choose a Smartphone

B．Android Users and iPhone Users

C．Your Choice of Smartphones Says Something About You

D．Studies of Personality Differences

27、 A couple of weeks ago, my 12-year-old daughter, Ella threatened(威胁) to take my phone and break it. “At night you’ll always have your phone out and break you’ll just type,” Ella says. “I’m ready to go to bed, and try to get you to read stories for me and you’re just standing there reading your texts and texting other people,” she adds. I came to realize that I was ignoring her as a father.

Ella isn’t the only kid who feels this way about her parent’s relationship with devices. Catherine Steiner-Adair, a psychologist at Harvard, wrote The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age. For her book, Steiner-Adair interviewed more than 1,000 kids from the ages of 4 to 18. She talked to hundreds of teachers and parents.

One of the many things that knocked my socks off, ” she says, “was the consistency(一致性) with which children — whether they were 4 or 8 or 18 or 24— talked about feeling exhausted and frustrated or mad trying to get their parents’ attention, competing with computer screens or iPhone screens or any kind of technology.”

A couple of years ago, my daughter got a laptop for school. And because she was becoming more independent, we got her a phone. We set up rules for when she could use the device and when she’d need to put it away. We created a charging(充电) station, outside her bedroom, where she had to plug in these devices every night. Basically — except for homework— she has to put it all away when she comes home.

Steiner-Adair says most adults don’t set up similar limits in their own lives. “We’ve lost the boundaries that protect work and family life,’’ she says. “So it is very hard to manage yourself and be present in the moments your children need you.’’

After my daughter’s little intervention(介入),I made myself a promise to create my own charging station. To plug my phone in— somewhere faraway — when I am done working for the day. I’ve been trying to leave it there untouched for most of the weekend

【1】Why did Ella threaten to break her father’s phone?

A. Her father spent a lot of money on his phone.

B. Her father did not do any housework or read to her.

C. Her father made a lot of noise by talking on the phone.

D. Her father gave his attention to his phone instead of her.

【2】 By saying “knocked my socks off ’’ , Steiner-Adair means “___’’.

A. made fun of her

B. surprised her a lot

C. took her socks off

D. made her exhausted

【3】What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 4?

A. How he protected his daughter from devices.

B. Why his daughter was dissatisfied with him.

C. How to create a charging station at home.

D. Why children need a laptop or a phone.

【4】 We can infer from the text the author___.

A. will not use his phone form now on

B. plans to create more charging stations at home

C. is a man who learns from his mistakes

D. doesn’t think a laptop is helpful to his daughter

28、Some students prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom,  pressure and independence. There is some truth in their way.

【1】It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult.

First, a teacher can act as a guide to lead you to success. When you learn, you need help and advice. A teacher will give you a hand when you face difficulties. 【2】

What is more,  a teacher puts real pressure on you.  If you study by yourself,you must be

strong-minded enough to keep on.【3】 But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you. The teacher may give you homework to do. You must complete the homework, or you will not pass the course.

Last but not least, studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teacher’s knowledge【4】.They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information. They guide all

of you in class to discuss the material and provide extra material to broaden the scope of the topic.

【5】I choose to learn in a big family---my school. Without a teacher, I would feel there would be no fun and no pressure. I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances.

A．Besides, teachers are connected with our life.

B．Teachers can help you solve all of your problems.

C．In short, I prefer to go to class studying with a teacher.

D．Without a guide, you would be searching in darkness.

E．And you may become inactive for lack of a strong will.

F．But they fail to see the advantages of learning with a teacher.

G．In class, teachers do more than just going over the material in the text.

29、Improving your lifestyle can seem like an unachievable goal. Changing everything about your life all at once is probably not realistic, but there are lots of small changes you can make to enjoy your life more. 【1】. Before you know it, you’ll have the lifestyle you’ve always wanted!

Eat healthy. You may be flooded by all of the appealing diets, but eating healthy is really not all that complicated Try a variety of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Avoid salty foods, added sugar, and fatty foods as much as possible. 【2】. Fruits and vegetables are thought to increase feelings of positivity, while fats and sugars are linked to feelings of depression.

Exercise. 【3】. Try to include at least 150 minutes of walking or 75 minutes of running or dancing into your weekly schedule. In addition to improving your physical health, regular exercise can also decrease symptoms of depression. Staying active is much easier if you find an activity that you enjoy. Try several new sports or exercise classes until you find something you really want to do. Having an exercise friend can also help keep you on track.

【4】. If you are overweight, there are a few really easy things you can do to lose a few pounds, which can add up to major health benefits. Try keeping healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables in your house for those times when you get the urge to eat between meals. You should also try to be aware of your motivations for eating. 【5】 like going for a walk.

A．Take simple steps to lose weight

B．Stick to a healthy diet for losing weight

C．Start small by making one or two changes at a time

D．Your diet can also have an effect on your mental health

E．Regular exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle

F．If you eat because you’re sad, try finding other ways of handling the feeling

G．Although eating out with your friends costs you much, it is completely for exercise
