Teenagers wh spend hurs in frnt f the televisin may have a prer diet (饮食) as yung adults.
A study, which included nearly 1,400 high schl students, fund thse wh watched TV fr five hurs r mre per day had less healthy diets than peers (同龄人) five years later. Why des this happen? Shuld the parents take any actins?
On the ne hand, peple wh spend a lt f time in frnt f the TV, especially teenagers, may snack mre, and that may influence their lng-term diet quality (质量).

In s many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) reflects (反映) the real wrld. Peple ask fr infrmatin, play games, and share hbby tips. Others buy and sell prducts. Still thers lk fr friendship, r even lve.
Unlike the real wrld, hwever, yur knwledge abut a persn is limited (限制) t wrds n a cmputer screen. Age, identity (身份) and appearance (外表) mean very little in cyberspace. Hwever, a persn’s thughts are what really matter. S even the shyest persn can becme a chat-rm star.
Usually, this “faceless” cmmunicatin desn’t create prblems. Identity desn’t really matter when yu’re in a chat rm discussing yur ideas r hbbies. In fact, this stress (压力) n the ideas makes the Internet a great place fr exciting cnversatins. Where else can s many peple cme tgether t chat?
But sme Internet users want mre than just smene t chat with. They’re lking fr serius relatinships. Is cyberspace a gd place t find true friends? That answer depends n whm yu ask. Sme f these relatinships actually succeed. Others fail.
Supprters say that the Internet allws peple t get t knw each ther intellectually (智力地) first. Persnal appearance desn’t get in the way. But thers think that n ne can truly knw anther persn in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lt f cntrl ver hw thers think f them. Internet users can carefully change their wrds t fit whatever image (形象) they want t give. In a sense, they’re nt really themselves.
All f this may be fine if the relatinship stays in cyberspace. But nt knwing a persn is a big prblem in a relatinship. With s many unknwns, it’s easy t let peple’s imaginatin “fill in the blanks (空白).” This unavidably (不可避免地) leads t disappintment (失望) when peple meet in persn. Hw smene imagines an nline friend is ften quite different frm the real persn.
S, befre lking fr friends in cyberspace, remember the advice f Cliffrd Stll: “Life in the real wrld is far richer than anything yu’ll find n a cmputer screen.”
34．Even the shyest persn can becme a chat-rm star because what’s really imprtant is a persn’s ________.
A．ageB．identityC．appearanceD．thughts
35．What d we knw abut the passage?

B．Appearance is imprtant fr relatinship nline.
C．A shy persn will surely becme talkative nline.
D．Peple are encuraged t create images in cyberspace.
36．What des Paragraph 5 mainly tell us?
A．The face is the reflectin f heart.B．Dn’t judge (评价) a bk by its cver.
C．Things are nt always what they seem.D．Inner (内部的) beauty is mre imprtant than appearance.

Researchers in the 1960s fund bilingual (双语的) peple scred higher n intelligence (智力) tests than mnlingual peple wh speak nly ne language. The latest studies shw that being bilingual des nt necessarily make peple cleverer, but it prbably des make yu better at certain skills.
Imagine driving dwn the highway. There’re many things that culd draw yur attentin and yu really need t be able t watch all f them. Why wuld bilingualism make yu any better at that?
The answer is that bilingual peple are ften better at cntrlling their attentin — a functin (功能) called the executive (执行的) cntrl system. It’s quite pssibly the mst imprtant system yu have because it’s where all f yur decisins abut what t pay attentin t, what t ignre (忽视), what t prcess (处理) are made.
The best methd t measure (测量) the executive cntrl system is called the Strp Test. Suppse yu wuld have the wrd “blue” written in red, but yu have t say the clur red. But “blue” is s eye-catching, and yu really want t say “blue”. Yu need t ignre it s that yu can say the clur red. That’s the Strp Test.
Bilingual peple cntinually practice this functin. They have t, because bth languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need t ignre ne t be able t speak in the ther. This exercise might help in ther ways, t. Researchers say bilingual children are mre likely t have friends frm different cultures. Bilingual adults are ften fur t five years later than thers in develping Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默氏病).
39．What did the recent research find abut bilingual peple?
A．They can safely drive their cars.B．They can well manage their attentin.
C．They can have a better cntrl f imaginatin.D．They can easily pick ut the clurs they want.
40．What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 4 refer t?
A．System.B．Test.C．Blue.D．Red.
41．What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A．Bilingualism may d harm t peple’s health.
B．Bilingualism helps children make mre freign friends.
C．Peple must practice speaking tw languages cntinually.
D．Peple use mre active wrds frm their mther languages.
42．What might be the best title fr the text?
A．Hw des the Strp Test wrk?B．What is executive cntrl system?
C．Are mnlingual peple smarter?D．Are bilingual peple better at sme skills?
43．Where is the text prbably frm?

Peple have many different ways t relax during break time at wrk r schl. Smart phnes are prbably the NO.1 chice fr a quick mental (精神的) vacatin. Althugh it might seem like a gd time, lking at yur cellphne may harm yur mental pwer, accrding t a recent psychlgical study frm Rutgers University in the United States.

Grup ne was allwed t take a break and use cellphnes t buy things nline. Grup tw was asked t have a rest and buy things using a cmputer. The last grup didn’t take any break at all.

The cellphne grup tk mre time t finish the task and slved fewer prblems than the ther tw grups. Terri Kurtzberg, c-authr f the study, explained that lking at cellphnes during a break may increase distractin (分心) that make it difficult t pay attentin t wrk tasks.
