26、   TV, iPads, and computers are fun and sometimes educational, but many people think the technology is bad. My parents let me watch one or two shows or play a game on the iPad for an hour, but then make me find thing else to do, like read or draw a picture. They say that too much screen time won’t help me become smarter.

I think that it is okay to watch TV, but not too much. And some of my friends agree.

"A tiny bit of screen time is okay,” Mateo J., 7, said. "But too much of it is not good for your brain.”

Though my friends and I sometimes complain(抱怨), we think that it's good our parents limit our screen time.

“Our parents should limit our technology time because otherwise you might get carried away and not even know that you’ve stayed inside all day watching TV, " Naomi J.,9, said.

The American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP) used to recommend(推荐) that parents let kids have about two hours of screen time per day, but in 2016, they started recommending that parents of kids 6 and older decide for themselves how much time is okay, as long as the shows and games are appropriate. The AAP still says that kids 2-5 years old should have only about one hour of screen time per day, and kids under 2 no screen time at all. The AAP says that media you’ve stayed inside all day in all forms, including TV, computers, and smartphones, can affect how children feel, learn, think, and behave. However, parents are still the most important influence.

I think TV shows like Brain Games and Cupcake Wars are inspiring. I’ve even learned some magic while watching Brain Games! Video games can be educational, as some TV shows are about nature, and other shows have useful messages. But some games and shows have bad things in them, like smoking.

You can play outside instead of watching TV. Find other things to do. You don t have to be or screens all day.

【1】How much screen time do the author’s parents allow him every day?

A. No screen time. B. Half an hour.

C. Only one hour. D. About two hours

【2】What does Naomi J. think of his parents limiting his technology time?

A. It is acceptable. B. It is unfair to him.

C. It makes no sense. D. It goes against the law.

【3】Which of the following does the AAP probably agree with?

A. Two hours of screen time is good for kids 2-5 years old.

B. Kids who spend much time on screens often behave badly.

C. The younger the kids are, the less screen time they should have.

D. Parents should not encourage kids to watch TV or play video games.

【4】What does the author advise you to do?

A. Avoid playing video games. B. Learn from different games.

C. Form a good habit of learning. D. Cut down on your screen time.

27、France is getting tough with food waste with great determination.A new law has been passed in the country that will ban grocery stores over 4, 305 square feet from throwing away unsold food.If it's still safe to eat, the food must be donated to charity; if not, it goes to farmers for use as animal feed or compost(肥料).

Supermarkets will no longer be allowed to destroy unsold food intentionally in order to prevent people from eating it.There are many people who search for food in the garbage cans behind stores, wanting to take advantage of the perfectly edible(可食用)food that gets thrown away on a daily basis; and yet some stores try to stop this, either by locking the garbage cans or pouring bleach(漂白剂)into them, a practice that Guillaume Garot, the former French food minister who proposed the new bill, describes as“scandalous.”

Food waste is a global problem, with an estimated 24 percent of calories produced for human consumption never getting eaten.Most of this waste happens at the final consumption stage.It is reported that“the average French person throws out 20 to 30 kilograms of food a year—7kg of which is still in its wrapping.”American shoppers throw away about one-fifth of everything they buy at the grocery store, according to a fascinating new documentary called“Just Eat It”.

The supermarkets aren’t happy about the new law because their food waste represents only 5 to 11 percent of the 7.1 million tons of food wasted annually in France.By contrast, restaurants waste 15 percent and consumers 67 percent.“The law is wrong in both target and intention, ”argues Jacques Creyssel, head of the distribution organization for big supermarkets.“Big stores are already important food donors.”

Despite this, France’s new law is a move in the right direction.Wasting food absolutely needs to become a socially immoral thing to do—much like throwing garbage on the ground.If law is what’s needed to get people thinking about conservation and edibility, then it's not a bad thing.

【1】How should supermarkets handle unsold food by the new law?

A．They should leave it alone.

B．They should give it away.

C．They should sell it at lower prices.

D．They should drop it into garbage cans.

【2】What does the underlined word“scandalous”in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Inconvenient.

B．Challenging.

C．Impractical.

D．Unacceptable.

【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The seriousness of food waste.

B．The reasons for food waste.

C．The consequences of food waste.

D．The solution to food waste.

【4】What do the supermarkets think of the new law?

A．It is strict.

B．It is ineffective.

C．It is unfair.

D．It is well-intentioned.

28、   Body language is a part of non-verbal language. It includes things like the way you stand, gestures, facial expressions, and even small things like a nod of the head. We frequently communicate both bodily and verbally and about 70% of what we communicate may be non-verbal.

There are many ways to learn to understand body language but we must be aware that it is frequently connected to a culture. Still, since most of us live in one area where body language may be similar among people, it's important to know that you can communicate a lot by how you gesture. A person in much of the US who sits with hands crossed over the chest, and with legs crossed,may be sending a message that they're really not open to talking.

Eye contact is another key element of non-verbal contact in much of the Western world. Looking someone in the eyes enough but not too much may indicate that you're direct and frank.

How we gesture can tell people the level of confidence we have, or if we're a little too insistent on our opinions. Huge gestures may mean we have something to prove. Moderate gestures may simply suggest we're involved and confident in what we have to say.

Even the way you turn your head, shrug, yawn, look at your watch may all be forms of non-verbal communication that send clear signals to other people. Looking at your watch when you're in a meeting with your boss can send the message that you're bored.

If you really think your body language is improper or needs improvement, opening this book on non-verbal communication can help. You can also compare your gestures with those in the video to see if you are sending right messages.Confident body language common to a culture can be learned and may make you appear more confident or direct.

【1】Which of the following is not included in body languages?

A.Eye movement. B.Facial expressions.

C.Gestures. D.Accent.

【2】What should you do in a job interview?

A.Crossing your arms while standing. B.Looking at your watch frequently.

C.Using moderate gestures. D.Always staring at the interviewers.

【3】What can we know about body languages?

A.Body language is cultural.

B.Body language is equal to nonverbal language.

C.People from different places have the same meaning of a gesture.

D.Body language plays a slightly important role in our communication.

【4】What's the purpose of this passage?

A.To give some suggestions on body language.

B.To advertise a book on body language.

C.To list some body language types.

D.To introduce something about body language.
