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
A Virginia teen is doing his part to make sure frontline health care workers are getting the meals they need to help them take care of themselves and others.
Arul Nigam, 17, of Tyson's Corner, Va. , has had to make several adjustments since his school year ended abruptly in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情).“We didn'thave any classes for like over a month and then after that there were a lot of technical difficulties. So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”
In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000 meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.
Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine restrictionstaking a toll onthe food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business over the last few weeks. Best Coast's owner,Alvin Shen, tells Yahoo Life that being able to partner with Arul and others in efforts to feed those on the frontline has been a big help.
4. What would Nigam probably do according to his words?
A. Study at home by himself.
B. Spend the more free time playing.
C. Donate some money to health care workers.
D. Do something helpful for health care workers.
5. What is Nigam's priority when delivering food?
A. The urgency of meals.
B. The severity of the virus.
C. The number of doctors.
D. The position of hospitals.
6. What does the phrase “taking a toll on” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Turning a blind eye to.
B. Keeping an eye on.
C Causing lots of damage to.
D. Answering completely for.
7. Where can you probably read this text?
A. Science fiction.
B. Fashion magazine.
C. Life magazine.
D. Entertainment newspaper.
C
Have you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe？Maybe you did a dangerous trick on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet and thought you couldn’t get hurt. The psychology(心理) of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect, named after Sam Peltzman, professor of economics at the University of Chicago. Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously.
Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts(安全带) . Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers’ behavior. Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better, they feel they can make better judgments when they drive. They are better protected in accidents,so they act more dangerously. This makes driving morehazardousto other drivers.
The Peltzman Effect isn’t just limited to driving. In 1972, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles. The safety caps were designed to prevent
children from accidentally taking the medicine, especially painkillers such as aspirin. Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea, but there was an unexpected side effect. Because the safety caps are so hardto take off, some people leave them off altogether．
Worse, some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap. A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmedby aspirin because of the safety caps.
The Peltzman Effect describes how we’re likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest. What’s more, the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what we expect.
8. What is the Peltzman Effect？
A. People behave less safely when they feel safe．
B. People feel safest when they are under protection．
C. Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe．
D. People who act dangerously are likely to be together．
9. What does the underlined word“hazardous”in Paragraph 2 mean？
A. Interesting．
B. Expensive．
C. Dangerous．
D. Important．
10. Medicine bottles with safety caps ________．
A. are required throughout the world
B. meet the demands of the Peltzman Effect
C. sell well in the world
D. are not completely safe
11. What would be the best title for the text？
A. Unsafe Safety Measures
B. Types of Decision Making
C. People’s Fear of Taking Risks
D. Different Behaviors of People in Danger

The Case for Classics
Many high schoolers complain when they look at a course syllabus (大纲) for Chinese and see literary assignments that includeThe Story Of The Stoneand other pieces of classic literature.___16___But there are some good reasons why reading the classics is an important part of a 21st century education.
___17___As students explore texts that were written hundreds of years before, they peer through a window
into the world as it was in those days. Being able to hear those voices from the past is a privilege young people should be grateful to have.
Furthermore, as students examine classic works, they begin to see the fabric of history from a different perspective. Absorbed with their own daily activities, most teens rarely think about the fact that human civilization has been around for a long time.___18___The experiences and perspectives of those people can provide important insights into the challenges that teenagers face today. The wording and style may have changed, but the underlying themes that stir the heart, including love, loss, courage, revolution, and humor, are as true today as they were for the authors of these early works.
One of the most important reasons to study classic literature, however, is to expand one’s mind.___19___To illustrate this, a group of scientists gathered volunteers who agreed to have their brains scanned while reading phrases from classic literature in both their original form and in modern translations. The result of the study showed a significant increase in the brain activity of people reading the original texts.
___20___It connects students to the history and values of the broader human community. It challenges their minds with the ideas and words of people who came before them. Therefore, if today’s teens are going to grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers, it is essential that classic literature remains a part of their education.
A. Clearly, that’s why it is so important.
B. Classic literature is important in a high school education.
C. These were things that were on people’s minds at that time.
D. Students often wonder why they have to study “ancient” writing.
E. Reading writings from long ago can be like stepping into a time machine.
F. Nor do they realize their lives are connected to the lives of the ancient people.
G. Learning to appreciate an unfamiliar style of writing can stretch the brain and help it grow stronger.

Sadly, I took my physical___28___as the first important thing in my life,___29___that it was the way to become successful and accepted.
Then I cut down on my___30___more and more, until a___31___day consisted of half a teaspoon of nonfat yogurt in the morning and a cup of grape juice at night.
But my poor___32___began to cause me to lose___33___. Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn't sleep, and felt as though my heart might beat out of my chest. I tried to___34___, but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer___35___. What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really___36___, and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the___37___, and then I began the long road to my___38___. It took a lot — doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements...
And more importantly, a sense of what was true about myself got my life back on track with reality. I realized that, with my___39___of trying to be "perfect" on the___40___, I had sacrificed who I was on the inside. What I know now is, we are — each and every one of us — already perfect.

Dear Alice,
I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I should went to England for a holiday. I'd like to stay there for half a month, visiting places of interest but practicing my English as well. We've been writing to each other for nearly year now. I have often dreamed of talk face to face with you. I guess you'll be at vacation yourself by that times. Perhaps they could go out to do some sightseeing together.

52.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part，even when one team had a member missing — not out of special cruelty, but because theytook it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.
I will never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop (门廊) that stuck out (突出)from the candy store. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Suddenly, one of the boys raised a question to me. “What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest.
Nor did I know what drove me to behave as I did, for usually I just sat there in silence;but this time I told them for two hours about the story Iwas reading at the moment. The book wasSister Carrie. They listened, bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I thought there was another and deeper reason that made themkeep an audience. I was offering them a new and exciting experience, one that they didn’t know existed.
The books they themselves read were the ones I had long left behind. Being alone so much, I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’. I had gone right fromTom Swift and His FlyingLabto Theodore Dreiser andSister
Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the storywith some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
