My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

4. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

1.     He got an older model than he had expected. 
2.     He couldn’t return it when it was broken.
3.     He could have bought it at a lower price.
4.     He failed to find any movie shows on it.

5. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?

A.ended all their programs                     B. provided fewer channels

C.changed to commercials                     D. showed all-night movies

6. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?

A.By shaking and hitting it               B. By turning it on and off

C.By switching channels                D. By having it repaired

7. How does the author sound when telling the story?

A. Curious      B.    Anxious     C. Cautious   D. Humorous

C

Feel tired and want to have a break? People have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. Smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation.

Although it might seem like a good time, looking at your cell phone may damage your mental power, according to a recent psychological study from Rutgers University in the United States.

For the study, more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles.Halfway through the task, the students were divided into three groups.One group was allowed to take a break and use cell phones to buy things online.The second group was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer.The last group didn't take any break at all.

Interestingly, the group that used their cell phones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue.They also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles.

The cell phone group took 19 percent longer to finish the rest of the task, and solved 22 percent fewer problems than those in the other break conditions combined.

Terri Kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cell phones during a break would be no different from any other break — but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.

“Cell phones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, access to ever-refilling information and more, in ways that are different than how we use other screens like computers, and laptops,”Kurtzberg told Science Daily.

This is echoed (呼应) by a 2017 study from the US University of Chicago.It found that even if cell phones are turned off or turned face down, their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capacity (认知能力).

So, during your next break, try putting your smartphone away. Go out for a walk, get to know your classmates or even take a nap (小憩).You may be surprised by the result.

8.What did the study find about using cellphones during breaks?

    A.It could make people more motivated at work.

    B.It could reduce one's ability to solve problems.
    C.It could be beneficial both physically and mentally.
    D.It could affect one's relationships with others.
9.What does the underlined word “activate” probably mean in Paragraph 7?
    A.motivate    B.associate     C.appreciate     D.imitate
10.What can we learn about cell phones from Kurtzberg's words?
   A.They may influence people in the same way as computers do.
   B.They may make it hard for people to concentrate on work.
   C.Their negative influence is almost impossible to avoid.
   D.They have become a necessary part of people's lives.
11.What does the author suggest people do during break time?
  A.Turn off their cell phones.               B.Keep their cell phones face down.
  C.Replace cell phones with laptops.         D.Keep their cell phones out of sight.
