Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smart phones or tablets, leads to feelings of sickness and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen, which covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone. The more realistic the visual content appears to you, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness are. The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed solving. Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the oppositeyou see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness shows itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology（耳鼻喉科学） at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs dont agree, thats when you feel dizziness and sickness. ”Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have “Type A” personalitiesmeaning they are confident and determinedare more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems. 24. From the text, we know that cybersickness _. A. is completely equal to motion sickness B. is caused by seeing fast moving objects around C. affects up to 80% of the population D. leads to peoples feelings of sickness and unsteadiness25. Whats the difference between motion sickness and digital sickness? A. Digital sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it. B. Digital sickness means sufferers feel movement but do not see it. C. Motion sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it. D. Motion sickness means sufferers dont see or feel movement.26. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Likely to suspect B. Likely to accept C. Likely to be affected D. Likely to be cured CHave you ever seen the Hunan Satellite TV (HNTV) show “Where are we going, Dad?”? It is a big hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny daddy and cute kids triggered a lot of peoples emotional resonance. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents confusion in childrens education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life, on the one hand, the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand, they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV show that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34. We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility for raising a child. The participation of mother in the childrens education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go, and society will go where the children go.27. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage? A. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play. B. Parents shouldnt entirely leave the education of children to the old. C. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.D. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.28. In raising a child in modern society, parents should _. A. play computer games with their children B. break down the barrier between children and teachers C. balancewell between family and career D. keep their children at home to avoid socializing29. What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the passage? A.Worried.B. Optimistic.C. Indifferent.D. Proud.30. Which one is the best title of the passage? A. Modern Education is Important B. Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?” C. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids D. A new hit in Modern Childrens Education第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。As the old saying goes, laughter is the best medicine. 31 However, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.
