My grandma has a new smartphne，and I am trying t help her use it.But she says her smartphne is "bad" because things n the screen disappear and cannt be recvered.Her ld "dumb phne" is mre reliable.Even thugh I'm a tech-savvy （精通技术的），24-year-ld granddaughter，I understand her perfectly.I als made a chice t g withut a smartphne fr a whle decade，frm 2010 t 2020.
Back in 2010，when I was 11，the small number f kids in my year wh had smartphnes were treated like superstars.But then，ver the next cuple f years，smartphnes became ppular.Despite this，I decided t stick with my brick phne.I became the dd ne ut.I culdn't play music r use revisin apps fr my tests.By the time I gt t university，peple wuld penly cmment n hw strange it was that I still had a Nkia brick.
I managed t live like this fr years.But by 2020 the wrld had changed s as t make life withut a smartphne incnvenient.Fr instance，many university students are nw required t dwnlad an app n their phnes t cnfirm identities n campus.That makes smartphne wnership a must.It is nearly impssible t separate yur life frm yur smartphne nw.
At the same time，researchers are still trying t analyze the effects f phnes and the Internet n ur mental health.Accrding t recent studies，the decade frm 2010 t 2020 saw the beginning f a sharp drp in the happiness f yung peple.This is the same decade in which the Internet became smething that lived in ur pckets.
It's nt necessarily scial media that makes yung peple sad and anxius，but the cnstant presence f it in their lives thrugh a smartphne.Many peple wuld surely like t give them up，but sciety des nt allw fr that.In many ways，it is scially unacceptable nt t have ne.
Even nw，I wuld lve t g back t my Nkia brick.Recently，sick f the cnstant buzzing f my iPhne，I bught a secndhand Nkia n the Internet.The Nkia is still there ready fr me t use it again.
4.Why des the authr mentin her grandma in paragraph 1？______

C. She enjyed being the fcus f her friends.
D. She was cnsidered fashinable in schl.

Planting a tree is ne f the simplest ways yu can make a small but meaningful difference t yur lcal area.Hwever，if yu are new t this，yu will sn meet ne ht tpic in gardening：shuld yu add a stake （桩子） t help supprt yur new sapling（树苗），r leave it au naturel（自然地）？
Wander arund almst any area with newly planted trees and yu will see hw widely the frmer is used，frm tripds （三脚架） f metal ples t pairs f giant wden stakes.But surprisingly，science prved lng ag that using these tree supprts is actually cunterprductive.
In nature，the rcking that trees experience when blwn by winds makes them grw strnger trunks and deeper rts.But staking trees prevents their nrmal develpment.
Staking nt nly stps the tree frm mving naturally，but als frces all the bending （弯曲） t happen just abve the tie.Instead f grwing a wide，strng base that gets thinner twards the tp，staked trees ften thicken abve the tie，creating a"tp-heavy"trunk that is dangerusly thin at the bttm.As sn as these stakes are remved，the weak trunks can n lnger supprt the weight f the tree.
We als knw that ties can cause significant harm t trees—even death by stpping the flw f water and nutrients thrugh their trunks as they grw.That is why researchers at Washingtn State University have pinted ut that the need fr staking new trees is actually a cmmn mistake.
This desn't mean staking is always bad，hwever.A few studies have fund that it can be beneficial under very specific cnditins，such as preventing diseases and even death.Hwever，the same team fund that these benefits nly apply t public trees cared fr by prfessinals.Fr private gardeners，the ppsite is true，as they ften frget t remve the stakes at the right time.
S，fr mst hme grwers，the science is pretty clear：skip this step and get better results.Yu' re welcme.
8.What des the underlined wrd"cunterprductive"in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. Requiring a lt f effrt.B. Wrking in a creative way.
C. Having a negative effect.D. Being extremely expensive.
9.Accrding t the passage，what might a tree lk like if staked fr t lng？ ______
A. B.
C. D.
10.When ______ ，staking is cnsidered t have sme beneficial effects.
A. applied t tall trees t prevent wind damage
B. used t help trees grw thicker at the bttm
C. managed by prfessinals fr a certain perid
D. used t supprt private gardens fr a lng time
11.Why des the authr suggest skipping the step f staking？ ______
A. T save hme grwers the cst f buying wden stakes.
B. T prtect the envirnment frm using t much metal.
C. T fllw the latest fashin trends in mdern gardening.
D. T allw trees t develp strength thrugh natural rcking.

Once a ppular destinatin fr internatinal visitrs，Ein Gedi beach n the Dead Sea has been clsed fr five years.The area is nw cvered with dangerus sinkhles—deep hles in the grund caused by the sudden cllapse （坍塌） f the surface.These hles appear because the lake's water level is drpping s fast that the undergrund salt layers are disslving （溶解），making the land dangerus t walk n.
The Dead Sea，shared by several neighbring regins，has been dying fr years.In recent years，the unclear divisin f respnsibility amng thse invlved has led t the gradual disappearance f effrts t save it.Envirnmentalists warn that reginal cperatin （合作） is the nly key，yet this remains a significant challenge.
The crisis is bth natural and man-made.The evapratin （蒸发） f the salty waters takes place because temperatures reach up t 50℃ in summer.The sea has als been affected by years f increasing water usage frm the sea's main surce，the Jrdan River.Lcal factries als use the water t get minerals（矿物）.All f these result in an eclgical disaster.
At the envirnment branch，Ohad Carny has been wrking n the Dead Sea issue fr years.He said several slutins were being cnsidered，including building a desalinatin （淡化） factry and a canal（运河） t bring in water frm the Red Sea.One might ask：why nt simply pur Red Sea water directly int the Dead Sea？Scientists warn that this"quick fix"culd be a disaster.Mixing the tw different types f water might cause a chemical reactin，turning the famus blue Dead Sea int a milky white clr.
Therefre，the plan shifted tward desalinating the water first，but this faces a majr challenge.As Carny explains，the prcess is extremely expensive."It desn't make ecnmic sense t spend s much mney t desalinate water just t fill the lake，"he said.In a regin where every drp is precius，prviding drinking water fr peple and agriculture must cme first.Furthermre，because the Dead Sea is shared by several neighbring regins，any such prject requires a shared agreement n csts and benefits."We can't d it alne.It must be a jint effrt.S nly time will tell，and we can't d anything withut an agreement tgether with the Jrdanian side，"said Carny.
12.Why was the Ein Gedi beach clsed t the public？______
A. Dangerus sinkhles appeared.B. It was ruined by lcal factries.
C. Undergrund salt was used up.D. The sea level went up sharply.
13.What might be a prblem with the"quick fix"in paragraph 4？______
A. It wuld be t expensive t build the canal.
B. It culd change the lake's natural appearance.
C. The Red Sea water might nt be salty enugh.
D. It wuld lead t the appearance f mre sinkhles.
14.What can be cncluded frm the last tw paragraphs？______
A. Agriculture must be stpped t save the lake.
B. The canal prject will slve the prblem sn.
C. Technlgy is mre imprtant than cperatin.
D. Disagreements amng neighbrs make the task hard.
15.Hw des Ohad Carny feel abut the current situatin？______
A. HpefulB. SatisfiedC. HelplessD. Cnfused
