26、What shouldn’t I do in London?

Visit the Natural History Museum during the school holidays

Children love dinosaurs. 【1】. The Natural History Museum is really the best museum in the world, and frankly I would live in it if I could. But unfortunately, it is too popular.

Alternative: Absolutely anything else you can think of. Even visit Madame Tussauds.

Visit Oxford Street

【2】. But there are fewer senior citizens going for a jog, 20 million more people actually visiting, no parking, higher prices and no climate control.

【3】

London is a big city, but it is smaller than you imagine. The underground is a good way of getting from one side to the other. But if you are a tourist, make most of your trips on foot.

Ask anyone if they know the Queen

“Oh, you’re American, do you know Barack Obama?” sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn’t it? 【4】. More than 60 million people live in the UK, and over eight million of those live in Greater London alone. Britain may look small on a map, but it definitely is not once you get here.

Make conversation with strangers on the underground

See these guys here? They have their eyes shut, on a recycled London Metro newspaper, their phones, the awful adverts, or on the door. 【5】.

A．Take the underground when you could walk

B．Living in London is quite convenient but expensive

C．For the Americans reading this, Oxford Street is like a mall

D．Don’t carry an open shopping bag or handbag over your shoulder

E．They do not want to speak, let alone make eye contact with a stranger

F．That’s what everyone in London thinks when asked if they know the Queen

27、Lonely? You’re hardly alone. Since COVID-19 struck, people of all ages have struggled with this. But even before the pandemic, loneliness was becoming a growing problem for teens — especially girls. That’s the finding of a new study. And that appears throughout industrial nations across the globe. The study linked rising loneliness to greater use of smartphones and the Internet over the same years.

Jean Twenge, a psychologist, took part in the study. Her team has found that since 2012, US teens have been spending less time together face-to-face.

The new study pulled its data from a survey. Some 1 million 15- and 16-year-old students from 37 countries took part in this survey in 2000, 2003, 2012, 2015 and 2018. Its questions mostly dealt with education. But they also included six statements about loneliness, such as “I feel awkward and out of place in my school”. Students could strongly disagree, disagree, agree or strongly agree with each statement.

“Smartphones can help keep us connected with friends,” says Twenge. “But they can also make people feel excluded (排斥).” Girls, especially, may feel this way. One reason may be that they like to post more photos and selfies (自拍照) than boys. Studies have shown that if those images don’t get a lot of “likes”, it can affect a teen’s mental health.

And there’s “phubbing”, a combination of “phone” and “snubbing (冷落)”. It’s that moment at which a friend or family member takes out a phone and keeps looking at it, paying no attention to everybody else, including you. Phubbing is one way technology can affect you, even when you’re not the one using it.

If technology causes loneliness, should we stop using it? “No, not at all,” argues Twenge. “Everybody of all ages is trying to figure out how we can best use technology and stay mentally healthy.” Her advice is to “use your smartphone for what it’s good for. Then put it away.” That includes putting it away overnight — ideally in another room.

【1】How do girls differ from boys in smartphone use in the study?

A．They need it to stay in style.

B．They use it as a learning tool.

C．They depend on it to keep in touch.

D．They like to post more pictures with it.

【2】Why does the author discuss “phubbing” in Paragraph 5?

A．To show the harm of the smartphone.

B．To give an example of communication.

C．To introduce an embarrassing situation.

D．To present a scene with the smartphone.

【3】What is Twenge’s attitude to using the smartphone?

A．Doubtful.

B．Supportive.

C．Worried.

D．Uninterested.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．The Smartphone — the Focus of a Study

B．The Smartphone — a Communication Tool

C．The Smartphone — a Friend of Teenagers

D．The Smartphone — a Source of Loneliness

29、When I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies, something happened a couple of years ago suddenly hit me.

I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.

The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets were valid(有效的) for one year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.

But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 20 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the local Women’s Transition House, a place where women and children could go when avoiding a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.

My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year’s Day. I knew that the Women’s Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.

I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women’s Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their children, which made me really happy.

【1】How did the author get the tickets?

A．By visiting a website by chance.

B．By using some Cokes to get them.

C．By getting a code at the bottom of a bottle.

D．By winning the prize for drinking Cokes.

【2】How many tickets did the author and his friends use?

A．About 22.

B．About 32.

C．About 52.

D．About 365.

【3】Which of the following best describe the author ?

A．Lucky and caring.

B．Creative and careful.

C．Responsible and cheerful.

D．Thankful and generous.

【4】Which of the following proverb can best explain the main idea of this article？

A．The roses in their hands, the flavor in mine.

B．Good luck favors those who are always ready.

C．Actions speak louder than words.

D．God helps those who help themselves.
