In 1998, I headed frm a small twn in Suth Wales t Sheffield University. Sheffield, the UK’s furth biggest city, had it all — clubs, bars, and theaters. It was a huge cntrast t my hmetwn, which hadn’t had a cinema until 1997. Sheffield had varius chices — I thught I’d lve it. But I missed the Wye Valley ccasinally.
Over time, I settled. Nw I’ve lived in Sheffield lnger than in my hmetwn. Yet n matter hw happy I am in my adpted city, there’s always a desire t return t Wales. The simple answer is that the idea f hme desn’t necessarily relate t time spent in a place — instead, it is abut a special cnnectin and a feeling f safety.
“Hmesickness usually cmes frm being smewhere that desn’t quite feel like hme,” says psychlgist Wendy Dignan. “As humans, we create a safe zne (地带). Sme peple may nt be particularly attached (依恋) t a place, s they always feel safe. Hwever, thers’ safe zne might be a particular place, a hme, r a familiar persn, the absence f which may lead t hmesıckness.”
There are things yu can help yurself if yu are struggling with hmesickness. Dignan suggests ging t the same cffee shp r gym at a certain time t build a pattern f familiarity because, it is a useful tl fr vercming hmesickness and building that all-imprtant safe zne. When s much in ur lives is unpredictable, it is n surprise that we crave safe zne.
I’m frtunate t have a lving family, supprtive friends, and a cmfrtable hme in Sheffield, but hwever much I lve my life here, there’s an inner part f me that will frever be in Wales.

C. The value f vercming hmesickness.
D. Psychlgical impacts f hmesickness.
10. What des the underlined wrd “crave” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Imprve.B. Oppse.C. Supprt.D. Desire.
11. What can we knw frm the authr’s experience?
A. Lve ften begins in ur hmetwn.
B. Hmesickness can be easily avided.

The advantage f printed texts ver digital nes has been seen in many previus studies, and educatin psychlgists even have a name fr the phenmenn: the “screen inferirity effect”, which refers t the phenmenn where students, and thers, seem t understand mre when reading printed texts. Hwever, by and large, previus studies have cmpared print reading t reading n a cmputer screen, nt the handheld devices mdern students use fr mst f their reading.
Ladisla Salmerón, a researcher f educatinal psychlgy at the University f Valencia in Spain, and his wrkmates wanted t see if the screen inferirity effect ccurs if yu fcus n handheld devices. S they searched existing studies and analyzed nly data sets cmparing print reading t reading n handheld devices.
Finally, they lked at dzens f studies, pling results frm mre than 100,000 students. As with previus research, they fund students wh read printed texts cnstantly perfrmed slightly better. Althugh small, Salmerón stresses, the effect bserved culd be f great significance. “In explaining this, we must cnsider that children in schls read every day, he says. “S this effect culd be built up ver time.”
Sme scientists are trying t understand the reasns fr the screen inferirity effect. One thery called the shallwing hypthesis (假说) assumes that when reading n digital devices, peple are generally ding s fr shrt perids f time and reading shrt pieces f text, causing them t be less efficient. Anther thery hlds that feeling each page and remembering whether it was at the beginning f the bk r the end can help cnnect with yur memry. But neither thery has been prven.
Accrding t this study, Salmerón says, “First, printed texts shuldn’t be quit. Secnd, teachers shuld cnsider the gals f the tasks when deciding which reading medium t use.” He adds, “Tablets(平板电脑) may be well-suited fr internet questining tasks, but paper shuld be favured t prmte understanding f lng texts.”
12. What drve Salmerón and his wrkmates t cnduct the new study?
A. Effects f digital devices n educatin.
B. Challenges brught by reading devices.
C. Impacts f the screen inferirity effect.
D. One pint ignred by previus research.
13. Hw did Salmerón and his wrkmates make their discvery?
A. By cnducting experiments.
B. By referring t past research.
C. By bserving carefully in life.
D By interviewing many students.
14. What des paragraph 4 mainly tell us abut the psitive effect f print reading?
A. Its cause remains unclear.
B. It tends t last a lng time.
C. It helps t imprve ne’s memry.
D. Its existence hasn’t been cnfirmed.
15. What can be inferred frm Salmerón’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. The study prvides directins fr educatrs.
B. The study advises peple t read tablets mre.
C. The study verstates the demand fr printed texts.
D. The study fcuses n hw t understand lng texts.

It was a huge cntrast t my hmetwn, which hadn’t had a cinema until 1997. Sheffield had varius chices — I thught I’d lve it. But I missed the Wye Valley ccasinally.
Over time, I settled. Nw I’ve lived in Sheffield lnger than in my hmetwn. Yet n matter hw happy I am in my adpted city, there’s always a desire t return t Wales. The simple answer is that the idea f hme desn’t necessarily relate t time spent in a place — instead, it is abut a special cnnectin and a feeling f safety.
“Hmesickness usually cmes frm being smewhere that desn’t quite feel like hme,” says psychlgist Wendy Dignan. “As humans, we create a safe zne (地带). Sme peple may nt be particularly attached (依恋) t a place, s they always feel safe. Hwever, thers’ safe zne might be a particular place, a hme, r a familiar persn, the absence f which may lead t hmesıckness.”
There are things yu can help yurself if yu are struggling with hmesickness. Dignan suggests ging t the same cffee shp r gym at a certain time t build a pattern f familiarity because, it is a useful tl fr vercming hmesickness and building that all-imprtant safe zne. When s much in ur lives is unpredictable, it is n surprise that we crave safe zne.
I’m frtunate t have a lving family, supprtive friends, and a cmfrtable hme in Sheffield, but hwever much I lve my life here, there’s an inner part f me that will frever be in Wales.

The advantage f printed texts ver digital nes has been seen in many previus studies, and educatin psychlgists even have a name fr the phenmenn: the “screen inferirity effect”, which refers t the phenmenn where students, and thers, seem t understand mre when reading printed texts. Hwever, by and large, previus studies have cmpared print reading t reading n a cmputer screen, nt the handheld devices mdern students use fr mst f their reading.
Ladisla Salmerón, a researcher f educatinal psychlgy at the University f Valencia in Spain, and his wrkmates wanted t see if the screen inferirity effect ccurs if yu fcus n handheld devices. S they searched existing studies and analyzed nly data sets cmparing print reading t reading n handheld devices.
Finally, they lked at dzens f studies, pling results frm mre than 100,000 students. As with previus research, they fund students wh read printed texts cnstantly perfrmed slightly better. Althugh small, Salmerón stresses, the effect bserved culd be f great significance. “In explaining this, we must cnsider that children in schls read every day, he says. “S this effect culd be built up ver time.”
Sme scientists are trying t understand the reasns fr the screen inferirity effect. One thery called the shallwing hypthesis (假说) assumes that when reading n digital devices, peple are generally ding s fr shrt perids f time and reading shrt pieces f text, causing them t be less efficient. Anther thery hlds that feeling each page and remembering whether it was at the beginning f the bk r the end can help cnnect with yur memry. But neither thery has been prven.
Accrding t this study, Salmerón says, “First, printed texts shuldn’t be quit. Secnd, teachers shuld cnsider the gals f the tasks when deciding which reading medium t use.” He adds, “Tablets(平板电脑) may be well-suited fr internet questining tasks, but paper shuld be favured t prmte understanding f lng texts.”
12. What drve Salmerón and his wrkmates t cnduct the new study?
A. Effects f digital devices n educatin.
B. Challenges brught by reading devices.
C. Impacts f the screen inferirity effect.
D. One pint ignred by previus research.
13. Hw did Salmerón and his wrkmates make their discvery?
A. By cnducting experiments.
B. By referring t past research.
C. By bserving carefully in life.
D By interviewing many students.
14. What des paragraph 4 mainly tell us abut the psitive effect f print reading?
A. Its cause remains unclear.
B. It tends t last a lng time.
C. It helps t imprve ne’s memry.
D. Its existence hasn’t been cnfirmed.
15. What can be inferred frm Salmerón’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. The study prvides directins fr educatrs.
B. The study advises peple t read tablets mre.
C. The study verstates the demand fr printed texts.
D. The study fcuses n hw t understand lng texts.
