A
Children under the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games, according to a notice issued by China's National Press and Publication Administration. Online game companies are required to provide services to minors — from8 to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays — as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health. Children are playing more and more online games these days. Is it time to limit their online gaming time? What role do parents have? Readers share their opinions.
Rizlared
Online games are addictive, but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this, parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones. Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.
Andrew
Good policy. By limiting time spent on online games, kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential. They can go outside and run, jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smart phone.
Adam
It is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones. Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage. Some forcibly take away their cellphones, but it will ruin trust and relationship. Even worse, it will make their kids hate them.
Pink
Excessive(过度的）gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on both physical and mental health. The gaming industry should not put profit- flaking interests as its priority (优先事项) . They should act in a socially responsible way toprovide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.
Lauren
There would be a loophole(漏洞). Children could use their parents’ or other adults’ IDs to avoid real-name registration, thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect. Parents ly need to strengthen guidance and
supervision to keep their children from gaming addiction.
1. What should kids do according to Andrew?
A. Play online games.
B. Play with a smart phone.
C. Study all the time.
D. Go in for outside activities.
2. What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?
A. Pay attention to its profit.
B. Focus on kids’ health.
C. Be responsible for kids’ surroundings.
D. Persuade kids lo play more games.
3. What role do parents have according to the passage?
A. They keep hold of their phones.
B. They set examples for their kids.
C. They limit their kids’ time.
D. They blame kids for addiction.
B
The outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.
According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.
Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.
“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.
Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.
Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”
Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.
4. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?
A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.
B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.
C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.
D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.
5. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?
A. It is boring to make comments.
B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.
C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.
D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.
6. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?
A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.
B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.
C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.
D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.
7. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？
A. Positive.
B. Uncertain.
C. Disappointed.
D. Confused.
C
Compared to dogs, cats are often considered to be aloof（冷漠的）with respect to their human owners. It is usual for them to be indifferent（无动于衷的）when humans calltheir names. Are we sure that they don’t understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we’ve been fooled. Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them. In the study, scientists recruited 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns thatresembledtheir names while the final word was the cat’s name. Then they observed the cats’ responses, if there were any.
Most of cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names, while they made no response to other words. That suggested, “cats were paying attention to you, what you say and what you do,” John Bradshaw, an
expert on human-animal interactions（互动）at the University of Bristol, UK, told The Times. “And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,” she added.
In the study, when people called their names, cats often associated (联系) the words with rewards, such as food or play, or with “punishments” such as having a bath or going to the vet . This made cats sensitive (敏感的) to words. After the cats had been called several times, they could respond to the words. But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved（进化）to follow their owners’ orders, cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant, they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However, technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So, the next time you hear “meow, meow”,your cat may be telling you: “Hi, you haven’t cleaned my litter box recently.”
8. What did the recent study find about cats?
A. Cats can recognize their names.
B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C. Cats learn more slowly than dogs.
D. Cats are willing to follow orders.
9. What does the underlined word“resembled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. were limited to
B. were different from
C. were similar to
D. were away from
10. Why do cats appear distant to their human owners?
A. They associate words with punishments.
B. They want to protect themselves from harm.
C. They are not sensitive to the human voice.
D. They don’t pay much attention to their surroundings.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is difficult to understand cats’ meows.
B. Interaction with your cats is very important.
C. Cats do have good relationships with their owners.
D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.
D
Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications, which help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine, if done properly, might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer (计步器) in Japan. Perhaps because it’s a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not fit for all.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps. This 7,500 mark isn’t surprising: It’s similar to common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.
12. What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Benefits
B. Problems.
C. Habits.
D. Manners.
13. Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?
A. A Harvard University study.
B. Science research on health.
C. A pedometer advertisement.
D. Public health recommendation.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. 7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all.
B. More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study.
C. Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day won’t die early.
D. 150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised.
15. What does the author mainly want to tell readers?
A. The more you walk a day, the healthier you will be.
B. We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.
C. Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.
D. Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions .
