27、Strategies for Getting Kids off Screens

It’s time to keep kids off the screens! Parents should use the winter vacation to remind their children of what it’s like to play freely, offline for hours on end. 【1】. Here are some practical strategies for giving kids a screen-free winter.

Set clear screen time limits

Establish how many minutes or hours you’re OK with them each week, and make it something that can never be changed. For example, you could say they’re allowed to watch for an hour on Sunday morning, or for 15 minutes in the evening while dinner is being made, or none at all for the rest of the winter—and then stick to it. 【2】

Get kids cooking

Involve them in meal preparation by assigning recipes that you’d like them to make each day. 【3】. And you’ll have many tasty dishes at the end of it,

【4】

There are numerous half- and full-day camp options and lessons that can occupy a child’s time, such as swimming, art classes, tennis, dinosaur camp and sports camp. Look around your community for activities that can get them out of the house for a few hours each day.

Establish a reading routine (习惯)

【5】. Take your kid along to choose what she or he wants to read, and that will help keep them enthusiastic. Back home and see if you can set up a comfortable reading corner where they will be willing to read and let reading become a good habit gradually.

A．Sign up for lessons

B．Assign household work

C．That helps stop arguments of screen time

D．Of course, this is easier said than done

E．Master some basic tricks, using a homemade tool

F．They’ll develop new skills at cutting, cooking and baking

G．Go to the library once a week to store up fresh reading material

28、At six years old, Jerry Morrison is already shooting for the stars. “I want to live on another planet,” Jerry told his uncle, Joey Jefferson, at StoryCorps in November.

Jefferson, 29, also fell in love with space at an early age. It started with a spaceship toy his mother gave him when he was a kid. Today he’s a mission operations engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab.

Jefferson, who lives in California, and Jerry, who lives in Florida, meet up a few times a year, and their conversations are always about their shared love for space.

“What kind of planet would you live on?” Jerry asked his uncle at StoryCorps.

“Of course everybody’s going to say Mars, right? Are you going to say Mars?” Jefferson replied.

No, Jerry wants to live much farther from Mars: on an exoplanet (a planet beyond of the solar system) called Kepler452b. NASA announced its discovery of the Earth-like planet in 2015.

“There’re a lot of stars and a lot of exoplanets that we have to find, and so we need people like you to keep doing what you’re doing,” Jefferson told Jerry. Jefferson wants his nephew to not only hold on to his curiosity but also share what he learns with others. And Jerry has already gotten the chance to do that. As a kindergartner last year, he taught a lesson to the fifth graders in his school about the planets of the solar system.

“It was a big opportunity for me,” Jerry said. “I felt so proud.”

Jerry said he learns about space from his uncle. “I learned from you a lot, like more than I could imagine,” Jerry said.

“You’re learning so much by yourself, too, that you’re teaching me as well,” Jefferson said. “And that’s really cool. The more you learn, the more you realize the little things in life we take for granted are the very things that make life possible. So when I look up at the stars, I think about that.”

【1】What do Jerry Morrison and Joey Jefferson enjoy talking about when they meet?

A．How to build a close relationship.

B．How to develop a similar lifestyle.

C．Their friends and families.

D．Their common interest.

【2】What do we learn about Jerry Morrison?

A．He is very stubborn.

B．He is very ambitious.

C．He will work at NASA.

D．He is influenced by his mother.

【3】What made Jerry feel very proud?

A．Sharing his knowledge.

B．Having strong curiosity.

C．Knowing a lot about space.

D．Having a lesson about space.

【4】Which word can best describe Jefferson according to the last paragraph?

A．Generous.

B．Humorous.

C．Modest.

D．Hardworking.

29、Parties, iPods, concerts, movies, TV shows, video games, traffic. All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable. But our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and, if we don’t take notice, it can have an effect on our hearing.

Most teenagers don’t think about hearing loss. But if you experience any of the following symptoms , you may already be hearing damaged: you make efforts to hear normal talk, you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain, you watch other people’s expressions to understand what they are saying, you ask people to repeat themselves, you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears.

iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear, and just as fashionable. But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume , and listen to music for more than an hour, you are asking for trouble. And, it does not matter if the music you play is classical, rock or heavy metal.

Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss.

Why is an iPod dangerous? With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time, it’s like working in a loud factory all day, being a maintenance person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer（手提钻）on a building site.

Similarly, iPod music can cause a short time or permanent hearing damage. A loud iPod can cause a ruptured（破裂的）eardrum and, over time, may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. If these tiny hairs are damaged, they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves（听觉神经）that connect to the brain. If this happens, hearing loss becomes permanent.

【1】Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss?

A. You are interested to listen to others’ talking.

B. You have to read others’ expressions to understand them.

C. You can only understand others over the phone.

D. You always think you hear the ringing of the phone.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE when you listen to music?

A. Listen at least an hour every time.

B. Turn up the volume to the highest level.

C. Keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume.

D. Choose classical, rock or heavy metal music.

【3】What is the correct order of causing permanent hearing loss?

a. The eardrum is broken.

b. The auditory nerves cannot receive sounds.

c. Tiny hairs are damaged.

d. Ear buds are placed directly in the ear canal.

e. High-volume music is played over a long time.

A. d-a-c-b-e   B. e-c-a-b-d

C. b-c-a-d-e   D. d-e-a-c-b

30、   Do you ever feel like you are studying a mad rush of one subject after another? When things happen at such a _________ pace, it is easy to lose sight of what you are learning. It is important to _________ every now and then to think about what you've been learning.

Self-reflection means stopping the mad rush and _________ yourself so your brain can evaluate what it has already _________. Some people prefer to do their self-reflections mentally, while others keep a journal. Either method can work, depending on what your own personal _________ is.

School textbooks are often divided into units. This can make it _________ for someone to begin the process of self-reflection. Watch for the times when you complete a unit of study. Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is _________ because there is some kind of test or quiz. Use these natural _________ as opportunities to stop and reflect.

You should find a _________ place—anywhere without noise is OK. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something __________ and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out your journal. Write down some notes on things that you newly learned in this unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some __________.

Sometimes just pausing to think deeply allows your brain to make connections so that new information can quickly appear when you __________ it again. Next, think about things that you still wonder about. For example maybe you learned about a certain body system, but you don't __________ how it works with the other body systems. Maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem, but you're not sure when to use it. Writing down your __________ will help you remember to continue seeking answers the next time you __________ the same topic.

Self-reflection is an essential skill for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to reflect, try it now.
