Tencent announced yesterday that it will limit the daily time for youngsters to play its popular King of Glory game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas complained their children had become addicted to playing it.

From tomorrow, children younger than 12 will only be allowed to play the game for a maximum (最大值) of one hour a day, and after 9 p.m., they will be banned from logging into it, said Tencent. Those older than 12 will be able to play a maximum two hours a day.

The game system will remind players the time they have been playing and young players will be forced to log out when the time is up.

Tencent claimed these were the strictest measures in China's game industry to prevent addiction and the company expected they would ease parents' anxiety.

The company also said it had updated its system for parents to keep tabs on their children using its games.

Since February, parents can receive messages when children log in and spend money on the game after they connect children's game accounts with their mobile phone numbers.

Now, parents can connect phones, tablets or computers that their children use to play games, so that they can keep an eye on the children even if they have several game accounts, Tencent said.

 Song Zhe, a father of a Shanghai high school student, welcomed the measures but was not sure if they would be sufficiently effective. "I like the system that could lock up the devices as children can register many accounts," he said, "but children are so clever that they can always think out counter measures."

4. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A.Kids under 11 could play the game for at most 7 hours in a week.

B. Girls under 8 are able to log in the game at 10 p.m.

C.Those older than 16 are able to play the game all the time.

D. Children over 13 can log in the game after playing 3 hours in a day.

5. The underlined phrase "keep tabs on" is closest in meaning to "_______".

A. be careful with  B. be in control of     C. have an eye on   D. keep contact with

6. What can we learn about the game system according to the passage?

A. Parents can monitor their children even if they try to register different game accounts.

B. Parents need to connect their tablets or computers to the game accounts of their children.

C. Parents can be reminded of the time their children have been playing the games.

D. Parents should pay attention to their phones all the time in case they miss any message.

7. What did Song Zhe's father think of the game system?

A. The game system was absolutely welcomed by him.

B. Children were too dull to break out of the system.

C. He was uncertain about the effectiveness of the system.

D. Children could register lots of accounts to unlock the devices.

C

Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.

A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined — or added — the symbols to get the reward.

Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen, they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers — 17 in this example.

After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.

When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate (低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value — sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction (小部分) of the smaller number to it.

"This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one."

8. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?

A. They fed them.    B. They named them.   C. They trained them.    D. They measured them.

9. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?

A. By drawing a circle.      B. By touching a screen.

C. By watching videos.      D. By mixing two drinks.

10. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?

A. They could perform basic addition.       B. They could understand simple words.

C. They could memorize numbers easily.     D. They could hold their attention for long.

11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Entertainment.   B.Health.   C.Education.   D. Science.

D

54-year-old Abdul has a special job. He has been working as a living statue (活体雕像) for over three decades, standing perfectly still for six hours a day and resisting people’s attempts to make him move or smile, anything that proves he is a living person.

Abdul, known as “India’s Statue Man”, has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985, soon after getting a job as a security guard. His boss had recently traveled to the UK, where he was so impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he wanted to do something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, where they would sit perfectly still for around four hours. They weren’t allowed to talk or smile, eat, drink, or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces. In the end, Abdul proved the best of the group, so he got the strange job.

Abdul isn’t the only person in the world acting as a living statue, but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes. Once, a $ 155 prize was put up for anyone who can make him move a muscle. But try as they might, no one has ever succeeded. Actually, Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time, and only eats healthy home-cooked food, to keep his body in shape. But he claims yoga has been the biggest help. In the 32 years, Abdul has become a celebrity in India and other Asian countries. Many Bollywood celebrities have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move, but none have succeeded.

Abdul earns about 10,000 rupees ($ 156) a month, which is enough to support his family, but definitely not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps. It’s just too stressful and taxing on the body. “Despite all the hardship and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me, , , he says. “When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue. ”

12. What is Abdul’s daily routine?

A. Performing as a living statue.        B. Proving to be a living person.

C. Smiling at his customers.        D. Keeping his body in shape.

13. Why could Abdul get the strange job given by his boss?

A. He had his special ambition.       B. He was most familiar with the job.

C. He stood out among the group.     D. He knew the boss more than others.

14. What does Abdul do in his spare time?

A. He eats a lot of snacks.       B. He practices yoga for 12 hours a day.

C. He cooks for his family.       D. He always moves a lot.

15. How does Abdul feel about his job according to the text?

A. It’s overpaid.     B. It’s satisfying.  C. It’s boring.    D. It’s instructive.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Scientists often see the first ten years of a child's life as the "window of opportunity".   16   And studies show that the following activities can benefit their brain greatly.

  17 

Free playtime has always been an important part of "being a kid", but it is also important to a child's development. "Free play" not only helps kids develop different skills, it also helps them develop into happy healthy adults in the future.

Read with kids.

Reading has long been known to improve children's intelligence.   18   For parents who don't have much time, just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way too.

Put kids to bed early.

  19   Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and kids up to age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.

Learn a second language.

Early studies in this field have shown that bilingual (双语的) kids can perform better under pressure. Young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency (流利) and pronunciation.

Praise good effort not intelligence.

Your kids may be smart but you should mainly praise the effort they put into tasks. Kids, who are praised on intelligence, often feel it is a fixed quality, and mistakes or failures badly hurt their self-confidence. Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning.   20 

A. Play some helpful games.

B. Give them enough playtime.

C. And they are not afraid to fail and try again.

D. Kids still need time away from the TV to do homework.

E. Kids who read often develop earlier writing and number skills as well.

F. Everything at this time is very important to the development of a person's brain.

G.Studies show that kids with regular bedtimes are better at languages, math and reading.

It is 12 years since we have a cleaning lady and for some reason my husband has become very demanding toward her. He believed she does not work as well as she used to. He complains a lot of and has decided to complain to her. Yesterday I tried several time to discuss with him my satisfied with her work. Therefore, he was still a little bit upset. This morning I looked at the house and all the cleaning she had done before. I thought it was unfair to complain because she was doing such a great job. So I fought for her again, said it was unnecessary to complain. She was doing well and she deserved to get paying more and to receive some extra money for the new year. And finally my husband told her we had decided to pay her more, which was entire a surprise to her．
