We jurnalists live in a new age f strytelling, with many new multimedia tls. Many yung peple dn’t even realize it’s new. Fr them, it’s just nrmal.
This hit hme fr me as I was sitting with my 2-year-ld grandsn n a sfa ver the Spring Festival hliday. I had brught a children’s bk t read. It had simple wrds and clrful pictures — a perfect match fr his age.
Picture this: my grandsn sitting n my lap as I hld the bk in frnt s he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches ut and pkes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thught. Then I turned the page and cntinued. He pked the page even harder. I nearly drpped the bk. I was cnfused: Is there smething wrng with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger t bks. His father frequently amused the by with a tablet cmputer which was laded with clrful pictures that cme alive when yu pke them. He thught my strybk was like that.
Srry, kid. This bk is nt part f yur high-tech wrld. It’s an utdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like yur grandfather. Well, I may be ld, but I’m nt hpelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit vide and prduce audi. I use mbile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s ne ntable gap in my new-media experience, hwever: I’ve spent little time in frnt f a camera, since I have a face made fr radi. But that didn’t stp China Daily frm asking me last week t share a persnal stry fr a vide prject abut the integratin f Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei prvince.
Anyway, grandpa is nw an internet star — tw minutes f fame! I prmise nt t let it g t my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-ld grandsn sees it n his tablet.

I lve snakes. My mm definitely des nt. When she was a kid, snakes used t hide in warm spts under the furniture. S she grew up afraid she’d step n a snake. I grew up hping I’d see ne... utside! Lts f peple wh are afraid f snakes have never even seen ne. S where des ur fear cme frm?
Scientists wnder abut this t. Their experiments with adults, kids, and even babies shw that it’s cmplicated. Peple may nt be brn afraid f snakes, but we are brn able t see them quickly. In tests with pictures, peple picked ut snakes faster than they culd find flwers, frgs, and caterpillars. It wasn’t just snakes, thugh. Peple als fund spiders and angry faces faster than “safe” things like flwers. It seems like we find things that might be dangerus t us faster than things that aren’t
Peple als learn t fear snakes faster than we learn t fear many ther things. We take ur hints frm ther peple’s scared vices and faces. Sme scientists think we’ve evlved this way—faster t see snakes and faster t learn t fear them. After all, if we had t be bitten by a snake t learn that it’s dangerus, we might learn ur lessn t late.
S why des it matter if we’re afraid f snakes? It may nt matter much t us, but it matters t snakes. Peple prtect animals they like, nt animals they fear. Snakes may nt be as cute as dlphins, but they’re just as imprtant t the envirnment. Snakes eat insects that are pests t humans. Snakes are als fd fr ther animals, s when we kill snakes, we’re hurting ther creatures t.
Hw d we get past ur fears t give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently where students f yur age went n a field trip, Guides helped them find and capture snakes in the frest. Everyne culd safely tuch and hld a snake. It turns ut that snakes aren’t s bad when yu get t knw them. Mst peple wh were afraid f snakes befre the field trip weren’t afraid afterward. In fact, snakes even became sme students’ favrite animal. Hmm, maybe I shuld take my mm n the next field trip.
Remember:Always respect snakes, whether yu’re afraid f them r nt.

Peple have many different ways t relax during break time at wrk r schl. Smartphnes are prbably the number ne chice fr a quick mental vacatin. Lking at yur cellphne may damage yur mental pwer, accrding t a recent psychlgical study frm Rutgers University in the United States.
Fr the study, mre than 400 students were asked t finish a set f 20 wrd puzzles. The students were divided int three grups. One grup was allwed t take a break and use cellphnes t buy things nline. The secnd grup was asked t have a rest and buy things using a cmputer. The last grup didn't take any break at all.
Interestingly, the grup that used their cellphnes during the break went back t wrk feeling the mst tired and least mtivated t cntinue. They als had the hardest time slving the remaining wrd puzzles. The cellphne grup tk 19 percent lnger t finish the rest f the task, and slved 22 percent fewer prblems than thse in the ther break cnditins cmbined.
Terri Kurtzberg, c-authr f the study, explained that they assumed lking at cellphnes during a break wuld be n different frm any ther break—but instead, the phne may cause increasing levels f distractin that make it difficult t return fcused attentin t wrk tasks.
“Cellphnes may have this effect because even just seeing yur phne activates thughts f checking messages, cnnecting with peple, access t ever-refilling infrmatin and mre, in ways that are different frm hw we use ther screens like cmputers, and laptps,” Kurtzberg tld Science Daily.
S, during yur next break, try putting yur smartphne way. G ut fr a walk, get t knw yur classmates r even take a nap. Yu may be surprised by the results!

A.It culd affect ne’s relatinships with thersB.It culd make peple mre mtivated at wrk.
C.It culd be beneficial bth physically and mentally D.It culd reduce ne’s ability t slve prblems
13.What can we learn abut cellphnes frm Kurtzberg’s wrds?
A.They have becme a necessary part f peple’s lives.
B.They may make it hard fr peple t cncentrate n wrk.
C.Their negative influence is almst impssible t avid.
D.They may influence peple in the same way as cmputers.
14.Why des lking at cellphnes during a break cause increasing levels f distractin?
A.Because it activates thughts f using cellphnesB.Because it makes peple sleepy.
C.Because it des harm t peples brains. D.Because it reminds peple f their unhappy experiences.
15.What des the authr suggest peple d during break time?
A.Turn ff their cellphnes.B.Keep their cellphnes face dwn.
C.Replace cellphnes with laptps.D.Keep away frm their cellphnes.
