24、   As is often the case, parents are very shocked to discover their children have lied to them for the first time. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.

Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children’s honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie.

The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything even in the face of the evidence (迹象). They say parents suffer from a “truth bias (偏见)” with their own teenagers, but when faced with lies from other people’s children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.

Dr. Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said, “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to discover their children’s lies. Parents’ truth bias may result in parents being less doubtable of their children, allowing them to successfully cheat (欺骗) them.”

Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive (认知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying (否认) looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting (承认) to looking.

Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to discover lies told by their own children than by other people’s children.

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

A.Show. B.Harm. C.Realize. D.Develop.

【2】When lying to their parents, children can’t be easily found because ________.

A.their parents aren’t prepared for the lies

B.their parents can’t notice any of their lies

C.they are very good at telling lies

D.they know how to lie to their parents

【3】What does Dr. Evans want to find about children’s lying?

A.What makes parents lose trust in their children.

B.What causes children to tell lies to their parents.

C.What makes parents fail to see their children’s lies.

D.What affects children’s relations with their parents.

【4】What can be inferred from Dr. Evans’s study in the last two paragraphs?

A.Parents prefer to protect their own children.

B.Lying is a part of children’s development.

C.Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell lies.

D.Parents can easily discover lies told by children of others.

27、Have you ever run into a careless mobile phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species(物种)” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name˗˗˗˗phubbers.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight(聚光灯). In the short film, phubbers with different social identities always put themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his mobile phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍照) in front of a car accident site(场地), and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated(夸张）, the damage(损害）that phubbing can bring is real.

Your health is the first to bear(承受) the effect and result of it. “Constantly(不断地)  bending(使弯曲) your head to check your telephone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted(引述) doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching(伸展).” Also, staring(盯着) at telephones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions(团聚）with family or friends, many people tend to stare at their telephones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their telephones in broad daylight.

【1】What does the underlined word phubbers mean in Chinese?  _________.

A. 低头族   B. 打工族   C. 月光族   D. 啃老族

【2】For what purpose does the author(作者) give the example of a cartoon in Para.2?  _____.

A. To warn doctors against using telephones while treating patients

B. To show the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers

C. To advertise the cartoon made by students

D. To tell people the bad influence of phubbing

【3】Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?  _________.

A. He might get divided from his friends and family

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed

C. He will cause the destruction of the world

D. His social skills could be influenced

【4】Which of the following may be the author’s attitude（态度) towards phubbing?  _________.

A. Supportive   B. Against   C. Active   D. Favorable

【5】What may the passage talk about next?  _________.

A. Advice on how to use a telephone   B. Ways to reduce(减少) the risks of phubbing

28、

Actually Kenny had started walking over to Tony Strong’s house. There was an empty room in the Strongs’ house. Kenny thought maybe he could h______ there for a few days. If his family couldn’t find him, they would have to move without him. Then he could still stay with his friends.

But something happened on the way as Kenny walked past all the f______ places of the neighbourhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father took evening walks together.
