Sometimes I play puter games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the puter. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and puter games harm children. Once I went to a net bar(网吧) to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didnt want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing puter games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me. Li Ping, BeijingLetter TwoDear Li Ping, I dont think its strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they dont want their children to play puter games. Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. Its never good to do things behind your parents. They arent fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way.Good luck,Rebecca21.From the passage we can learn that Li Ping often _.A. talks with his friends on the Internet B. plays basketball after schoolC. plays puter games at home D. chats online before homework22.The boy goes online _.A. to get news on QQ B. just to have a restC. to show he hates study D. to make new friends23.The underlined sentence in Letter Two means “_”A.

You should tell your parents what you do before or after doing it24.The editor thinks _.A. children should play puter games in the net bar secretlyB. playing puter game can be very helpful to childrens studiesC. children should be honest and try to make their parents understand themD. foreign parents dont care for their children as much as Chinese parentsBDo you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone? If yes, youre not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly check their social media apps for the latest updates. Despite the convenience smart phones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices. It all starts with a birds-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times theyre unlocked their phone and how many times theyre checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day. Once the users see this information, theyll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. But even if users bee more mindful of their usage, theyre still likely to be drawn in by notification(通知). Such feature automatically(自动地)silences ining calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down. If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that. The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.25.Who are the target users of Dashboard?A. People who know little about smart phones.B. People who have trouble dealing with stress.C. People who are slow at researching of things online.D. People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smart phones.26.What can Dashboard do?A. Lock the phone at a certain time. B. Limit some apps to certain users.C. Limit the time certain apps can be used. D. Silence app notifications at night.27.The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _A. disappointed B. careful C. prepared D. creative28.What does the author think of Dashboard?A. Its not very useful. B. Its perfectly designed.C. It should include more functions. D. It may be helpful to some people. CBabysitter (保姆) Wanted I am seeking a babysitter for my 6-month-old son.

When asked why she has the picture, Merkel says, “She was a strong woman”. Many say the same of Merkel. The most powerful woman in the world, according to US Forbes magazine, was in China last week. She came to discuss trade and environmental issues with Chinas top leaders. Germanys first woman leader is known as a brave and practical statesman(政治家). Even since her time at school, she had the habit of getting everything in order. Every day before doing her homework she would clean the desk and think about what to do next. “I prefer a long time for full preparations to make my decision. But once I decide, I will stand up for what I believe, ”Merkel said. Perhaps it was good habits that helped her do well in her studies. At 32, she got a doctor degree in physics and then she worked as a researcher. However, the life of a scholar couldnt put off her love of politics. While working in labs, Merkel took time off to read political books and at last joined a political party. “Her calmness helped her stand out in the party. She could always find a way out while others felt hopeless, ”said one of her old friends. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background proved very useful. In xx she became Germanys youngest prime minister since the second World War. Now half way through her four-year term, the 53-year-old woman has made a name for herself both in Germany and abroad. At the EU summit(欧盟峰会) in xx when France quarreled with Britain over the EU budget(预算), some people believed the EU was close to breaking down. But Merkel didnt give up. She shuttled(穿梭)between the heads of the two powers and had them reached an agreement. “Strength es from posure(镇定)and courage. Many people say I am a strong woman. But I would rather say I have perseverance, ”said Merkel.32.Why does Merkel put a picture of Catherine the Great on the wall of her office?A. Because Catherine the Great is beautiful. B. Because Merkel wants to be a strong woman too.C. Because Merkel likes the drawing skill of it. D. Because it is very expensive.33.What is the correct order of the following events?a. became the German Chancellor (总理)b. got a doctorate (博士学位) in physics and then she worked as a researcherc. joined a political partyd. took part in the EU summite. worked as Minister for the EnvironmentA. bcade B. cbdae C. bcead D. cbaed34.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.

When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked _41_ at me and said, “I love you.” I didnt know what to say. _42_ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and _43_ down at him. My first thought was that he must need _44_ with his homework or he was trying to _45_ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should _46_ our parents that we love them and see what they say. Its a(n) _47_.”The next day I called his teacher to _48_ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had _49_.“Basically, most of the fathers had the _50_ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first _51_ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The _52_ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of _53_. Its something all human beings _54_. What Im trying to tell the children is that its too _55_ that we dont all express those feelings. A boy should be _56_ to tell his dad that he loves him.”The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how _57_ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for _58_ second. And just _59_ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”I dont know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right _60_.41. A. down B. away C. out D. up42. A. After B. For C. At D. On43.
