公共课英语一模拟题2020年(7)(总分100,考试时间150分钟)一、阅读判断A Frightful ExperienceMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (后备箱).Mr. Johnson' s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. " Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly, " Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn' t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water **e flooding in. "Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came. "It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench (扳手) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up. "His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤) , Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours. " Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.1. 1.Mr. Peter Johnson succeeded in escaping through his car' s boot.A. TRUEB. FALSEC.

In some countries as many as nine out of ten adults read at least one newspaper a day. Seen in purely business terms, few products can ever have been so successful in reaching as much of their market. Why do so many people read newspapers?There are five basic functions of a newspaper: to inform, to comment, to persuade, to instruct and to entertain. You may well think that this list of functions is in order of importance but, if so, you would not be in agreement with the majority of the reading public. Of the two broadcategories of newspaper, the popular and the quality, the former has a readership of millions, while the latter, only hundreds of thousands. Yet the popular papers seem largely designed for entertainment. They contain a lot of comment and persuasive language. The quality newspapers put a much higher value on information and a much lower one on entertainment.It is not only in content that the two kinds of paper differ. There is a difference, too, in the style in which the articles are written. The popular papers generally use more dramatic language with a lot of word-play. Their reporters tend to use shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary. This means that popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker to understand, though probably not for a non-native speaker.In order to decide whether a newspaper is a quality or a popular one it is not even necessary to read it, since you can tell simply by the way it looks. Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer and shorter articles. But they have bigger headlines and more photographs.11. 11.Out of 500, ______adults read a newspaper every day according to the passage.A. 400B. 425C. 450D. 47512. 12.How does the writer describe a popular newspaper?A. It carries many articles and few photographs.B. It is intended to educate people.C. It contains a lot of information.D. It aims at entertaining people.13. 13.Which of the following words could be used in place of "categories" in Paragraph 2?A. Forms.B. Types.C. Texts.D. Parts.14. 14.Who tend to read a quality newspaper more often?A. Politicians.B. Foreign visitors.C. Sports fans.D. Housewives.15. 15.What does the last paragraph tell us about the two kinds of newspaper?A. Their difference in appearance.B. Their difference in the information given.C. Their difference in readership and price.D. Their difference in the language used.三、概括段落大意和补全句子Wole Soyinka① Wole Soyinka, who was born in 1934, is a Nigerian (尼日利亚) writer, poet and playwright. Many regard him as Africa' s most distinguished playwright. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986, the first African writer to win this honor.② Soyinka has played an active role in Nigeria' s political history. In 1967, during the Civil War in Nigeria, he was arrested by the Federal Government and put in solitary confinement forattempting to broker(作为中间人来安排) a peace between the warring parties. While in prison he wrote poetry which was published in a collection. He was released two years later after international attention was drawn to his imprisonment. His experiences in prison are recounted ina book.③ He is an outspoken critic of many Nigerian administrations, and of political tyrannies (暴君) worldwide, including the Mugabe regime(政府) in Zimbabwe. Much of his writing has been concerned with "the oppressive boot and the irrelevance of the color of the foot that wears it".④1986 was his most glorious year and occurred during the reigns of several violent and repressive African regimes. The Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize for Literature as a writer "who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence". The foremost Nigerian dramatist became the first African Nobel laureate, enshrined(被铭记) forever in the history of world literature. His Nobel Lecture was devoted to South African freedom-fighter Nelson Mandela. Soyinka' s acceptance speech criticized apartheid and the politics of racial segregation imposed on the population by the Nationalist South African government.⑤ That year brought him another literary award—the Agip Prize for Literature—and he was awarded a Nigerian national decoration; Commander of the Federal Republic.Task 1A.

In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) in the air resulting from the burning of coal and oil is creating a "greenhouse effect". It conserves heat reflected from the earth and raised the world' s average temperature.【B2】______Thus much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.【B3】______This is a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen.【B4】______Driven by economic profit, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the "advanced civilization".【B5】______But is it really worthwhile?A. Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset(抵消)each other and the world' s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.B. If this view is correct, the world' s temperature is raised only a few degrees.C. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development.D. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide.E. Lately, global warming is becoming a serious problem.F. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere (大气)is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth' s temperature.26. 26.【B1】27. 27.【B2】28. 28.【B3】29. 29.【B4】30. 30.【B5】五、填词补文Evolution DebateRumor has it that more than 20 books on creationism/evolution are in the publisher' s pipelines.A few have already appeared. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a【W1】______and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the origin and evolution of universe and life. Cosmology, geology, and biology have【W2】______a consistent, unified, and constantly improving account of what happened. " Scientific" creationism, which is being pushed by some for " equal time" in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts ofevolution are given, is【W3】______on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and the majority of non-fundamentalist religious leaders **e to【W4】______"scientific" creationism as bad science and bad religion.The first four chapters of Kitcher' s book give a very brief【W5】______to evolution. At appropriate places, he【W6】______the criticisms of the creationists and provides answers. In the last three chapters, he takes off his gloves and gives the creationists a good beating. He describes their programmes and tactics , and, for those unfamiliar with the ways of creationists, the extent of their【W7】______and distortion **e as an unpleasant surprise. When their basic motivation is religious, one might have【W8】______more Christian behavior.Kitcher is philosopher, and this may account, in part, for the clarity and effectiveness of his arguments. The non-specialist will be able to【W9】______at least a notion of the sorts of data and argument that support evolutionary theory. The final chapter on the creationists will be extremely clear to all. On the dust jacket of this fine book, Stephen Jay Gould says: " This book【W10】______for reason itself. " And so it does—and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.31. 31.【W1】32. 32.【W2】33. 33.【W3】34. 34.【W4】35. 35.【W5】36. 36.【W6】37. 37.【W7】38. 38.【W8】39. 39.【W9】40. 40.【W10】六、完形补文Take a Dictionary with YouIf you don't use a dictionary, what should you do instead? The first thing you can do is trying to guess what the word means. Often the【C1】______(surround) context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word. Even if you can' t work out the meaning【C2】______(exact) , you may be【C3】______(ability) to get a【C4】______(vagueness) idea, enough to enable you to continue reading.Sometimes it is【C5】______(possible) to guess the meaning of a word from the context andthen you will have to decide whether the word is【C6】______(importance) enough to make it worthwhile【C7】______(stop) and looking it up in a dictionary, or whether you can just pass it by.Many times in your reading, you **e across words which you don' t know, but which do not prevent you from understanding all the main points of the text. You can make your dictionary use much more【C8】______(efficiency) if you only look up the words which are【C9】______(necessity) to understand the text, and this means that you must develop the skill to【C10】______(decision) whether the words are worth looking up.41. 41.【C1】42. 42.【C2】43. 43.【C3】44. 44.【C4】45. 45.【C5】46. 46.【C6】47. 47.【C7】48. 48.【C8】49. 49.【C9】50. 50.【C10】七、短文写作51. 51.假设你是高中生张洋，想要申请美国的一所大学，请用英语向校方写一封120词左右的咨询信，询问学校的相关情况并介绍自己。

You can learn about what's happening in the world, read about sports, find fun comics and puzzles, and even check out the latest video game reviews or movie news. There's something for everyone's interests!One of the best things about reading English newspapers is that it helps you become a better reader and writer in English.

Honestly, no matter what your interests are, you'll be able to find articles about it.Reading any kind of book or longer text helps build your reading stamina over time. When you first start reading newspapers, some of the longer articles might seem daunting. But stick with it! The more you read, the better you'll get atfocusing for longer periods. Pretty soon, those lengthier pieces won't faze you at all.Newspapers can also inspire you to become a curious,well-informed citizen of the world. When you read about current events, it encourages you to learn more and form your own opinions and viewpoints. You might even be motivated to get involved with causes or organizations you care about.Okay, okay, I can sense you're almost convinced that reading English newspapers is worthwhile. But there's one more awesome benefit I haven't mentioned yet - it's fun! Yep, reading can legitimately be an entertaining, enjoyable activity. Especially when you're reading about topics that fascinate you.I remember when I was in middle school, my friends and I would read the newspapers over breakfast or on the bus to school. We'd chat about the cool articles we read, crack jokes about the comics, and discuss our thoughts on current events. It was a great way to have fun together while learning at the same time.So what are you waiting for? Ask your parents, teachers or school librarian to help you find some kid-friendly English newspapers that look interesting to you. You can even access lots of them for free online these days.Just give it a shot for a few weeks. I'm willing to bet that once you start reading newspapers regularly, you'll be hooked!

Who knows, you might even become an expert news reader and world expert by the time you're in high school!篇2Reading English Newspapers is Fun for Middle Schoolers!Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about why middle school kids should read English newspapers. It's a really cool thing to do and can help you learn lots of new stuff. Let me explain!First up, reading newspapers helps you get smarter and become a better reader. The articles use bigger words and longer sentences than books for little kids. By reading them, you learn new vocabulary words and practice understanding more complex writing. It gets your brain working hard, kind of like exercising at the gym but for your mind instead of your muscles!The newspaper has loads of different sections too, like news, sports, entertainment, and more. So no matter what subjects you're interested in, there's bound to be articles you'll enjoy reading about those topics. If you love animals, you can readabout them. If you're obsessed with video games, there are gaming articles. It's like a buffet with a huge variety to pick and choose what sounds tasty to you.Another awesome thing about newspapers is they teach you about what's happening in the real world. The news articles keep you informed on important events going on locally, around the country, and even across the whole planet! You'll learn about politics, science discoveries, natural disasters, and so much other cool stuff. It's way more interesting than just reading made-up stories.By knowing what's going on, you can discuss current events with your friends, teachers, and parents. You'll look super smart when you can talk about the details of a major news story everyone is discussing. Your teachers will be really impressed that you're keeping up with real world issues at such a young age.Reading newspapers in English is also fantastic practice for improving your English skills. You'll see new vocabulary words used in context, which helps you learn what they mean. The more you read, the better you'll get at understanding written English. It's one of the best ways to develop strong English reading abilities.Many newspaper articles have pictures too, which makes them even more fun to read than just text on a page. The visual images help explain what the article is about and make it easier to understand the information. Some newspapers even have comic strips, which are like little story books that make you laugh.I haven't even mentioned one of the coolest parts yet - the games and puzzles in the newspaper! Most papers have sections with brain teasers, word games, sudoku puzzles, and more. You can spend hours being entertained by those types of activities. It's a great way to give your brain a workout while still having fun.Overall, I think reading English newspapers is an amazingly beneficial activity for middle school kids. It increases your knowledge across many subjects, keeps you updated on world events, improves your reading comprehension, and provides all kinds of games to challenge your thinking skills. Plus, they're fun to read! What's not to love?So next time you're at the library or bookstore, pick up an English newspaper and check it out. Read an interesting looking article or try solving some puzzles. You might just get hooked and want to read the newspaper every single day. It's an idealmix of education and entertainment. Trust me, it's way more exciting than just reading textbooks or boring schoolwork! Give it a shot and see for yourself how awesome newspapers can be.篇3Reading English Newspapers is Awesome for Middle Schoolers!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you why it's so cool for middle school kids to read English newspapers. I used to think newspapers were super boring and just full of grown-up stuff. But then my English teacher said we had to start reading them for class and I realized how much fun they can actually be!First of all, English newspapers have way more interesting topics than those little kid reading books we used to have. There are sections on sports, video games, movies, technology, and more! So you can read about the stuff you're actually interested in, not just some made-up stories. And the articles are written in a much more exciting way than textbooks.Another awesome thing is that you get to learn about what's happening in the real world. The news covers events going on in your city, country, and all over the world. It's so fascinating to read True stories about things that are actually taking place,instead of just fiction. I had no idea so much crazy stuff happened every single day until I started following the news!Reading English newspapers has also really helped me get better at English itself. I used to struggle a lot with vocabulary, grammar, and understanding complicated sentence structures. But reading realEnglish written for native speakers, instead of the simpler stuff made for language learners, has grown my skills like crazy. Plus, newspapers use a wider variety of vocabulary about different topics, so I'm learning new words all the time.Getting the newspaper has become part of my daily routine now. I look forward to it arriving so I can check out the latest stories and see what's new in the world. Sometimes I'll read an interesting article out loud to practice my pronunciation too. It's also fun to look at all the photographs and graphics that go along with the stories - it makes everything more exciting and easy to understand.The best part though is being able to join conversations about current events. Before, I never really knew what was going on, so I couldn't contribute much when people talked about the news. But now I'm always up-to-date and can share my opinions on the latest happenings. I've had such great discussions with my parents, friends, and teachers about newsworthy topics afterreading about them. It's way more interesting than just talking about school or video games!Of course, not everything in newspapers is upbeat and happy. A lot of the news is about negative or upsetting events too, like natural disasters, crime, wars, and other conflicts. But even though that stuff can be sad, I think it's important for us middle schoolers to be aware of what's going on in the world, both good and bad. It helps us become smarter and more understanding of different people and perspectives.Overall, I can't recommend enough that all middle school kids start reading English newspapers regularly. They are just so informative, engaging, and useful for improving your English abilities. We're at such a great age to start learning about the real world through news. So head to your school library, ask your English teacher for a subscription, orget your parents to buy a newspaper every day. Trust me, you'll get hooked once you see how awesome they are! Let's all become smarter global citizens together.篇4Reading English Newspapers is Awesome for Middle Schoolers!Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm a 5th grader. Today I want to tell you why I think it's really really cool for middle school kids to read English newspapers.First off, newspapers have such neat articles on like every topic you can imagine - science, sports, movies, video games, animals, you name it! By reading newspapers, middle schoolers can learn tons of new English vocabulary words about their favorite subjects. The more words you know, the better you'll understand things you read and hear in English.Another awesome thing is that newspapers use "real" everyday English, not just the simple stuff they teach in textbooks. You get to see longer sentences, informal slang, idioms, and all that jazzy lingo that native English speakers actually use. It's way more fun than just reading made-up dialogue or simple stories written specifically for language learners.Also, newspapers have the latest news and current events from around the world. What's happening in science, politics, sports, entertainment - it's all being reported as it unfolds. By reading English newspapers regularly, middle schoolers can stay updated on world news while getting practice reading andunderstanding authentic English content. Two birds with one stone, as they say!Reading newspapers can help build reading stamina too. The articles are longer than little blurbs, so readers have to concentrate for a while. Building up persistence to read longer pieces is great practice. Good reading stamina will really help in high school and college when they have to plow through lots of reading assignments and textbooks.Beyond just reading, newspapers give middle schoolers a chance to explore different perspectives on issues. Because they contain opinions, analysis, and debates - not just straight facts - it's perfect for starting to think critically about bias, objectivity, and how information is presented. Those are vital skills for academics as well as being a well-informed citizen.Finally, reading English newspapers is a fun way to learn more about different cultures and open your mind to new ideas from around the globe. Newspapers highlight stories, customs, and ways of thinking that might be very different from your usual experience. Exposing your brain to diverse viewpoints is key for becoming a tolerant, understanding person in our interconnected world.In conclusion, I firmly believe middle schoolers should read English newspapers as often as possible because of the rich vocabulary, real-world language practice, up-to-date knowledge, reading stamina training, critical thinking opportunities, and cultural awareness that newspapers provide. If you ask me, reading the news is an awesome shortcut to supercharging your English skills while learning about fascinating topics from all over the world. Pretty neat, right? Okay, thanks for listening to me ramble - happy reading!篇5Reading the News is Fun and Cool!Hi friends! Today I want to tell you all about why middle school kids should read English newspapers. It's a really good thing to do and can help you in so many ways. Let me explain!First of all, reading newspapers helps you learn more English words and get better at English. When you read articles and stories in English, you see lots of new vocabulary words used in context. This makes the words easier to understand and remember than just looking them up in a dictionary. The more you read, the more you'll pick up useful words and phrases. It'slike exercising a muscle - the more you work at it, the stronger your English skills will get!Another awesome thing about newspapers is that they teach you about what's happening in the world. There are articles on news, sports, entertainment, science, and everything in between. By reading about current events, you'll gain a lot of knowledge on so many interesting topics. It's way more fun than just reading from a textbook!And you know what else is cool? Newspapers are full of different types of writing like news reports, opinion pieces, interviews, reviews and more. Exploring all these genres helps make you a better reader and writer. You'll start to understand how writers use language in different ways to inform, persuade or entertain. Pretty neat, right?But enough about academics - let's talk about the fun stuff! In the entertainment section, you can read about your favorite movies, TV shows, music and celebrities. There are cool pictures and behind-the-scenes scoops too. The comics are hilarious and the games/puzzles page lets you exercise your brain with word searches, sudoku and more. Trust me, reading a newspaper is waaay more thrilling than just scrolling on your phone!Here's another reason to love English newspapers: they connect you to people and places beyond your neighborhood. Through news stories, you can learn about diverse cultures, countries and people from all over the world. It really opens your eyes and helps you become a more understanding global citizen. How awesome is that?I remember when I started reading the kids' section of our local English newspaper. At first, some of the words and phrases were hard for me. But I kept reading every day, looked up words I didn't know, and asked my teacher for help too. Before long, I could understand almost everything and my English really improved a ton. Yay!Nowadays, I've moved on to reading more advanced sections like world news, science articles and book/movie reviews. I learn such fascinating new things each time. Like, did you know that scientists are working on growing actual meat from animal cells instead of using live animals? So crazy and brilliant! Or that a new Harry Potter video game is coming out next year?

雅思英语作文 很少有年轻人阅读报纸或关注电视新闻 read newspapers
In many countries, very few young people read newspapers or follow the news on TV. What do you think are the causes of this？What solutions can you suggest？Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.Model Answer 1:There has been a dramatic increase in the numbers of newspaper and television channel over the last few years. Despite this increasing numbers, a large proportion of the population, which consist of youngsters seem uninteresting to pursue news on print and electronic media.Timings, traditional and boring way of presenting information and new interests among young are few factors that impede the youngster attention towards reading or watching the news. However, there is a dire need to adapt new technologies to cater youngster interest. For instance, the online version of the news, easy accessibility and encouragement from guardians can help a lot in this regard.Firstly, newspaper always comes in the morning, which is the busiest time of youngsters, as they are approaching schools and colleges at that time. Secondly, nowadays mass media is full ofboring and traditional news, having nothing new for the youngster that can attract their attention. Thirdly, study loads and pressure of completing assignments, projects and research work are the main hindrances to following news on media.Apart from that, youngsters spend more time on social networking sites and that’s why they have less interest in traditional newspapers or news channels. However, media could appeal numerous youngsters by providing them online news and video streaming by the use of technology that will be more convenient and easily accessible for them.Additionally, interaction by the forum, chats and comments also play a pivotal role in pulling target audience. Moreover, youngsters should have access to newspapers on bus stops, stations and waiting for areas of institutions.To sum up, I would like to say that new and innovative ways of information dissemination with the use of technological advancements would definitely influence youngsters. Accessibility of resources and guidance from the parents could also be fruitful.。

homework记忆经历的英语作文
homework记忆经历的英语作文《Homework记忆经历》篇一Homework, that four - letter word that has haunted me throughout my student life. Oh boy, where do I even begin?I remember back in elementary school, homework was like this little monster that would peek out from my backpack every afternoon. It wasn't too bad at first. I mean, it was mostly coloring pages and simple math problems. Like, "If Johnny has 3 apples and gives 1 to Susie, how many does he have left?" Easy peasy, right? But even then, there were days when I just wanted to go outside and play with my friends instead of doing those worksheets.One time, I had a project on the solar system. I was so excited about it at first. I thought, "Hey, this is gonna be cool. I get to make a model of the planets!" But then reality hit. I had to find all these materials - cardboard, paint, Styrofoam balls for the planets. And the research! It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I ended up spending hours on it, and my room looked like a tornado had hit it. There were scraps of paper everywhere, half - painted balls, and I was just sitting in the middle of the mess, feeling like a lost astronaut in space.As I got into middle school, homework became more of a beast. Essays started to rear their ugly heads. I remember my first big English essay. The topic was something about "My Favorite Season."I thought, "This is gonna be a piece of cake. I love fall. The leaves changing colors, the crisp air, pumpkin spice everything." But when I sat down to write it, my mind went blank. It was like my brain was on a coffee break or something. I stared at that blank page for what seemed like forever. I started writing a few lines, then erased them. I was like a painter with a broken brush, trying to create a masterpiece but just making a mess.Maybe the hardest part about middle school homework was the time management. There were so many subjects - math, science, English, history - all piling on the homework. It was like being in a food fight and getting hit from all sides with different types of food. I would often find myself staying up late, my eyes drooping, trying to finish all the assignments. And sometimes, I would just give up and hope that the teacher wouldn't notice. I know, it was a bad move, but I was just so tired.High school? Well, that was a whole new level of homework hell. Advanced math problems that made my head spin like a top. I remember looking at a calculus problem and thinking, "This isn't math, this is some alien language." And the amount of reading! It was like I was expected to read an entire library in a week. I had a history project once where we had to research a historical event and present it in front of the class. I chose the Industrial Revolution. I thought I knew a lot about it, but as I dug deeper, I realized I was just scratching the surface. I had to read dozens of books, search through old newspapers online, and try to make sense of all this information. It was like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with a million pieces.I often asked myself, "Why do we have so much homework?" Is it really necessary to drown us in papers and books? I get that it's supposed to help us learn, but sometimes it feels more like torture. I remember one night, I was so stressed out about my homework that I actually burst into tears. It was like all the pressure had built up inside me and just exploded. My mom came in and was like, "What's wrong, honey?" And I just blubbered, "Homework! It's too much!" She tried tofort me, but at that moment, I felt like there was no escape.But you know what? Through all these homework memories, I also learned a lot. I learned how to be organized (well, at least I tried), how to manage my time (sort of), and how to dig deep and find information. Homework has been like a bumpy road, full of potholes and detours, but it's also been a journey of growth. It's like that old saying, "No pain, no gain." Maybe all this homework was preparing me for something bigger in life. I'm not sure what yet, but I hope it was worth it.《Homework记忆经历》篇二Homework. Ugh, just the thought of it makes me want to pull my hair out. It's been a constant in my life, like that annoying background noise that you can't quite get rid of.In my early days of school, homework was like a little gremlin that would jump out at me when I least expected it. I recall this one time in second grade when we had to learn our multiplication tables. My teacher said it was super important, like the key to unlocking the treasure chest of math knowledge. So, every day after school, I would sit at the kitchen table with my workbook, trying to memorize those darn numbers. It was like trying to remember a secret code. "3 times 4 is 12, 3 times 5 is 15..." I would chant over and over again. But sometimes, my mind would wander. I'd start thinking about the ice cream truck that I could hear outside or the new puppy that my neighbor just got. And then, of course, I'd lose my place and have to start all over again. It was frustrating as heck.As I got a bit older, around fourth or fifth grade, homework started to get moreplex. There were book reports. Oh man, those book reports were the bane of my existence. I remember reading "Charlotte's Web" for one of my book reports. It was a great book, don't get me wrong. But trying to summarize it and write my thoughts about it? That was a whole different ballgame. I sat in my room, surrounded by piles of books and papers, staring at my blank notebook. I was like a deer caught in the headlights. What was I supposed to write? I started scribbling down some ideas, but they all seemed so lame. "Wilbur is a nice pig. Charlotte is a smart spider." I mean,e on! I knew I had to dig deeper, but it was like my brain was stuck in first gear.Middle school brought a whole new set of challenges when it came to homework. Science projects were like these huge mountains that I had to climb. I had this one project on plants. We had to grow plants in different conditions and record their growth. Sounds easy, right? Well, not so much. I got my little plant pots all set up, but then I forgot to water them one day. I was like, "Oh no! I'm a plant killer!" I panicked and tried to revive them, but it was like trying to bring a dead battery back to life. And then, when it came time to write up the report, I had to make all these graphs and charts. I'm not exactly a math whiz, so it was like trying to build a spaceship without any instructions. I was all over the place, and my final report probably looked more like a scribble than a scientific study.High school homework was like a never - ending marathon. There were nights when I would look at my to - do list and just feel defeated. English papers that required deep analysis of Shakespeare.I mean, who talks like that? "To be or not to be? That is the question." Seriously, Shakespeare, couldn't you have made it a bit easier for us modern - day students? I would struggle to make sense of those old - fashioned words and try toe up with some profound insights. And don't even get me started on the math homework. Trigonometry problems that made my eyes cross. I would sit there with my calculator, punching in numbers, hoping that I was getting it right. But half the time, I was probably way off.I've often thought, is homework really the best way to learn? I mean, sure, it gives us practice, but sometimes it feels like we're just doing it for the sake of doing it. There were times when I would copy my friend's homework just to get it done. I know, it's bad, but I was desperate. I was so tired of spending hours on end on these assignments. And I'm not the only one. I've talked to my classmates, and they all feel the same way. It's like we're all in this homework prison together.But on the flip side, there were some good things that came out of all that homework. I learned how to be more independent. I had to figure things out on my own, like a little detective solving a mystery. And when I finally got an assignment done, there was this sense of aplishment. It was like climbing to the top of a really tall mountain and looking down at the view. So, homework, you're a love - hate thing for me. You've driven me crazy, but you've also made me grow. I'm still not sure if I'm glad you were a part of my life or not, but I can't deny that you've left your mark.《Homework记忆经历》篇三Homework. It's a word that can stir up a whole whirlwind of emotions in a student's heart.When I first started my school journey, homework seemed like this exciting adventure. In kindergarten, we had these cute little worksheets with pictures of animals. We had to color them and write the names of the animals. It was like a game. I would sit at my little table, my crayons all lined up like soldiers, and I would eagerly start coloring. I remember one worksheet had a picture of a bunny. I colored that bunny pink because I thought pink bunnies were the coolest. And writing the word "bunny" was like a big achievement. I felt like a mini - scholar, you know? But even then, there were moments when I got distracted. Maybe the sun was shining too brightly through the window, or I heard the other kids playing outside. And I would start daydreaming about joining them instead of finishing my worksheet.As I entered elementary school proper, homework became a bit more of a challenge. We had spelling tests every week. I had to study these lists of words that seemed like they were from a different planet. Words like "amodation" and "necessary." I would try to remember the tricks to spell them. For "necessary," I would say to myself, "One collar and two sleeves." But sometimes, it just didn't work. I would write the word wrong on the test, and I would feel so disappointed in myself. It was like I had let down my whole team (even though it was just me against those words). And then there were the math problems. Simple addition and subtraction at first, but as we progressed, it got harder. I remember one time, I was doing a math worksheet at home, and I got stuck on a problem. It was like a big, bad monster blocking my path. I stared at it for a long time, my pencil hovering over the paper. I even asked my stuffed animals for help, as if they could magically give me the answer.Middle school was when homework really started to feel like a heavy burden. Social studies projects were a nightmare. I had to make a diorama of an ancient civilization once. I chose the Maya. I thought it would be fun to build those pyramids and show off my creativity. But I quickly realized I had bitten off more than I could chew. I had to find tiny little figures to represent the Mayan people, and I had to make the buildings look authentic. I scoured the house for materials. I used old cardboard boxes for the structures, and I painted them with this cheap paint that smelled really bad. My room was filled with the stench of paint and the mess of construction. And I was constantly worried that my diorama wouldn't be good enough.I was like a chef trying to create a five - star meal but only having basic ingredients.High school, oh high school. Homework was like a tidal wave that just kepting. Chemistry problems that were like hieroglyphics. I would look at the equations and wonder if I had accidentally walked into a science fiction movie. I remember one particularly difficult assignment where we had to balance chemical equations. I sat there for hours, my textbooks open all around me, trying to figure it out. I felt like a lost explorer in a dense jungle, with no map to guide me. And the English essays. We had to write these long, in - depth analyses of novels. I read "1984" and had to write about the themes of totalitarianism. I thought I understood it, but when I started writing, I realized I was only scratching the surface. I tried to sound smart, but I probably just ended up sounding like I was trying too hard.I've often asked myself, "What's the point of all this homework?" Is it really just to keep us busy? I know the teachers say it's to help us learn and prepare for the future, but sometimes it feels like we're just drowning in a sea of papers. There were times when I would skip doing my homework on purpose because I was so fed up. I know it was wrong, but I just couldn't take it anymore. But then, when I saw my grades slipping, I realized that maybe, just maybe, there was some value to it all.Homework has been a wild ride, full of ups and downs. It's like a rollercoaster that I couldn't get off. There were times when I loved the sense of aplishment when I finally finished a difficult assignment, and there were times when I hated it with a passion. It's been a part of my life for so long that I'm not sure what I would have done without it. Maybe I would have had more free time, but maybe I also wouldn't have learned as much. So, homework, you're this strange, necessary evil in my life.。
Why so few students read newspapers？

关于学生不看书的现状和原因的英语 作文
关于学生不看书的现状和原因的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Why Kids Don't Read Books AnymoreHi there! My name is Emily and I'm a 10-year-old student in the 5th grade. I love books and reading, but it seems like a lot of my friends and classmates don't really like to read much these days. I've noticed this problem and I want to share my thoughts on why kids my age don't read as many books as they used to.First off, I think a big reason is that there are way more distractions and entertainment options for us now compared to years ago. We have video games, television shows, movies, YouTube, social media, and so many other things constantly vying for our attention. With all those fun and exciting alternatives, reading a book can seem really boring to a lot of kids. Why get lost in the pages of a novel when you can be battling monsters in an epic video game adventure?Another major factor is that reading books takes a lot more effort and concentration than just passively watching a show or scrolling through apps. You have to use your imagination andvisualize the characters and settings described on the page. For some of my classmates who struggle with reading comprehension or have shorter attention spans, that sustained focus is really challenging. It's much easier for them to just zone out in front of a bright, moving screen.I also think the rise of technology and doing mostwork/learning on devices has made some kids asociate reading with academics and homework rather than fun and enjoyment. If you spend all day at school reading textbooks and instructions on a tablet, you're probably not going to be very excited to then go home and read a novel "for fun." Reading can start to feel like a chore that reminds you of work rather than a leisure activity.Peer influence plays a role too. If your friends aren't really into reading and they're always talking about the latest video game or YouTuber instead, you're less likely to prioritize reading yourself. Anything seen as "un-cool" by the popular kids is something a lot of students will avoid, even if they might secretly enjoy it. That social pressure is really strong, especially around my age when you're trying so hard to fit in.Lastly, I think some parents don't do a good job of making reading an important habit and priority from an early age. If kids don't grow up seeing their parents reading for pleasure andlearning wasn't encouraged through bedtime stories and trips to the library, it's unlikely they'll develop a love of books on their own. Reading gets put on the backburner in favor of other activities.I really hope reading doesn't become a totally lost pastime though! Getting transported to different worlds and experiencing awesome stories is one of my favorite things. Maybe if some games and shows incorporated reading into their core experiences more, it could help reignite kids' interest? Or if reading on e-readers/tablets became even more widespread and interactive, that could appeal to more tech-obsessed young people. I'm definitely going to keep lobbying my friends to pick up some books and join me on adventures between the pages though. The magic of reading is something every kid should get to experience!篇2Why We Don't Read Books AnymoreHey there! I'm Joey, a 10-year-old kid just like you. I love playing video games, watching cartoons, and hanging out with my friends. But there's one thing I'm not a huge fan of – reading books! I know, I know, books are supposed to be cool and all, butlet me tell you why so many of us kids these days just don't seem to be into them.First of all, let's talk about the competition. Books have to compete with so many other things that are way more fun and exciting! There are video games with amazing graphics and storylines that make you feel like you're part of the action. There are movies and TV shows with special effects that will blow your mind. And then there's the internet, where you can watch funny videos, play online games, and chat with your buddies. With all these awesome things to do, why would we choose to sit still and read a boring book?But that's not the only reason. Let's be real – some of the books they make us read in school are just plain dull. They're filled with old-fashioned language and stories that have nothing to do with our lives. I mean, who cares about some guy named Huckleberry and his adventures on a raft? I'd much rather read about superheroes or magical worlds where anything is possible!Speaking of school, that's another thing that kind of ruins reading for us. Teachers make us read books and analyze them, write reports, and answer questions. It takes all the fun out of it! Reading is supposed to be an escape, a way to let your imagination run wild. But when you have to dissect every littledetail and write essays about symbolism and themes, it just becomes another homework assignment.And let's not forget about the competition from all the other distractions in our lives. We've got after-school activities, sports, clubs, and hanging out with friends. By the time we get home, we're exhausted and just want to chill out in front of a screen. Reading a book is the last thing on our minds.But here's the thing – I know reading is important. My parents and teachers are always nagging me about how it helps improve our vocabulary, comprehension skills, and imagination. And I get it, I really do. But you know what would make us more interested in reading? If they gave us books that were actually interesting and relatable to our lives!I'm talking about books with cool characters that we can look up to, like superheroes or brave kids who go on epic adventures. Or books that tackle real-life issues that we're dealing with, like bullying, friendships, and growing up. Heck, even books about video games or YouTubers would be more appealing than the classics they keep shoving down our throats.And while we're at it, let's make reading more fun! Why can't we have book clubs or reading parties where we can discuss the books we're reading with our friends? Or maybe we could act outscenes from our favorite books or make trailers for them like they do for movies. That way, reading becomes an interactive and social experience, not just a solitary activity.I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Most of my friends feel the same – they'd rather be gaming, watching movies, or scrolling through social media than reading a book. But maybe, just maybe, if we made reading more engaging and relevant to our lives, we'd be more interested in picking up a book once in a while.So, there you have it – the honest truth about why us kids these days aren't really into reading books. It's not that we're lazy or have short attention spans (well, maybe a little bit). It's just that there are so many other exciting things competing for our time and interest. But hey, if you grown-ups can make reading more fun and relatable, who knows? Maybe we'll give it another chance.篇3Why Kids Don't Read Books AnymoreHi there! My name is Emily and I'm in 5th grade. My teacher, Mrs. Johnson, asked us to write about why kids today don't seemto read as many books as kids used to. I have some theories about that!First off, I think a big reason is that we have so many other fun things competing for our attention these days. When my parents were kids, they basically just had books, toys, and maybe some basic video games and TV shows. But now, we've got tablets, smartphones, video games, YouTube, TikTok, and tons of other digital media and entertainment options.It's really easy to just pick up a iPad and watch videos or play games for hours instead of reading a book. Books can seem kind of boring in comparison, especially for kids with shorter attention spans like me. I love reading certain book series like Harry Potter, but I have to admit, even I get distracted by my phone or tablet a lot when I'm trying to read.Another reason, I think, is that a lot of kids struggle with reading skills these days. From what my parents say, they spent a lot more time in school just reading books and learning reading comprehension. But now, schools have to cram in so much other stuff like standardized testing prep, STEM, coding, and more. So we don't get as much practice just sitting and reading as past generations did.I know I'm a pretty good reader, but a lot of my friends find it really hard and frustrating. They'd much rather watch a movie than read a book with similar content because it's just easier for them. Reading takes work, unlike just zoning out in front of a screen.Speaking of screens, I also think ebooks and audiobooks play a role. In some ways they make reading more accessible because you can read ebooks on a phone or tablet. But they also contribute to the distractions of digital devices. And while audiobooks are cool, they don't build reading skills the same way as reading a physical book does.Our reading habits at home probably don't help either. My parents are pretty good about limiting our screentime, but I know some of my friends have parents who just plop them in front of a TV or iPad for hours every day after school. Those kids never see their parents reading physical books as a model for them.Also, a lot of parents these days are working long hours or multiple jobs to make ends meet. They don't have as much time or energy to read bedtime stories to their kids like past generations did. Those bedtime stories are how a lot of kids developed a love of reading from an early age.At school, we also have way more homework and expectations piled on than kids used to. By the time I get home from school, sports practice, and other activities, I'm just wiped. The last thing I want to do is read a book when I could be chilling out playing Roblox or watching TikTok videos.That's just my theory though! I asked some of my classmates what they think, and here are their perspectives:"I just can't stay focused when I'm reading a book. My mind starts wandering after like 5 minutes and I get bored. Videos and games are more interesting," said Josh."Reading is so hard for me. I have dyslexia and it takes me forever to get through a book. Audiobooks are better but I zone out even with those," said Lily."I read books sometimes, but I'd just rather watch the movie. It's easier and faster to understand the story that way," said Michael."My parents are always working and they never read to me as a kid. I just never got into the habit," said Ava.So those are some of the reasons why kids these days don't read as much as they used to, at least in my opinion and from talking to my friends. Like I said, there are definitely still kids wholove books. But between short attention spans, struggles with reading skills, too much homework, working parents, and an overload of other entertainment, books often get put on the backburner. We'll have to see if that changes as we get older. Let me know what you think!篇4Why Kids Don't Read Books AnymoreHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm a 4th grader at Oakwood Elementary School. Today I want to talk about something that's been bothering me for a while - kids my age just don't seem to read books anymore!When I was younger, I loved getting lost in stories about brave knights, magical kingdoms, and talking animals. My parents would read to me every night before bed and we'd dive into amazing adventures together. Those were some of my favorite memories growing up. Once I learned to read on my own, I became obsessed with the school library. I'd check out stacks of books and devour them one by one, always craving the next story.But lately, I've noticed that a lot of my classmates don't share that same love of reading. In the library, I'm usually one of theonly kids browsing the shelves and picking out new books. Most of my friends would much rather be playing video games or watching YouTube videos on their tablets. Even during our designated reading time in class, I see lots of students just staring blankly at their books, not really absorbing the words.I find this really sad because reading is such an incredible way to explore new worlds, learn about different people and cultures, and fire up your imagination. When you're totally absorbed in a good book, you can travel through time, experience someone else's life, or enter a fantastical realm of dragons and sorcery. It's like your brain goes on this awesome journey without even leaving your seat!So why aren't more kids reading these days? I've got a few ideas:Too Many DistractionsWe live in a world with infinite distractions at our fingertips. Between video games, social media, YouTube, TV shows, and apps, it's easier than ever to just veg out in front of a screen. Reading a book takes real mental focus and concentration that a lot of kids struggle with nowadays. We're so used to constant stimulation that sitting still with a book feels downright boring to some.Peer PressureLet's face it, reading isn't exactly seen as the "cool" thing to do once you hit grade school. The social pressure to fit in and do what's popular is huge, and sadly, reading for fun doesn't really make the cut. Many kids would rather spend their free time doing activities their friends think are acceptable, like playing basketball or the latest videogame craze. Picking up a book can seem like a pretty uncool, loner sort of hobby.Lack of RelevanceA lot of the books kids are expected to read in school are just...well...boring. They're old, they're dry, and they have absolutely nothing to do with our lives and interests today. When you're being forced to read boring books that don't captivate you, of course you're going to be turned off from reading altogether. Schools need to work harder at making reading curricula more engaging and relevant to kids' worlds.Role ModelsIt's no secret that parents and teachers have a huge influence on the habits and interests of kids. If we don't see the respected adults in our lives spending time reading and expressing excitement about books, we're way less likely toprioritize it ourselves. When parents are always distracted by work, chores, and their own screens, it sends the message that reading isn't very important. The same goes for if our teachers only grudgingly have us read outdated novels because it's required, not because they want to instill a love of literature.Reading SkillsFor some kids, reading can be a real struggle because of learning disabilities, lack of practice, or just general difficulties with comprehension and fluency. When reading is this hard work, it kills any chance of it being an enjoyable hobby. Once kids get frustrated and start to see themselves as "bad readers", it becomes a vicious cycle of avoidance. Schools should work on programs to help all kids gain confidence as readers from an early age.Those are just some of the reasons I think reading has become so unpopular these days. But I really hope more of my friends and classmates can rekindle that excitement and discover the magic found in books. Reading helps us become smarter, more creative, and more aware of the world beyond our own experiences. It's a vital skill that makes our lives so much richer.I'll keep being a reading superhero and maybe I can slowly convert some of my videogame-obsessed pals over to the booklovers' side. You never know, they might just get hooked on a gripping tale of mystery, fantasy, or adventure once they篇5Why Don't We Read Books Anymore?Hey there! My name is Emma, and I'm a 10-year-old student in the 5th grade. I love hanging out with my friends, playing video games, and watching funny videos on YouTube. But one thing I'm not too crazy about is reading books. I know, I know, reading is supposed to be good for us and all that, but it's just not something that excites me or most of my friends these days.I'll be honest; the last time I really got into a book was probably back in 3rd grade when we read "Charlotte's Web" in class. I remember being so caught up in the story of Wilbur the pig and his spider friend Charlotte. But ever since then, reading has just felt like a chore, something my parents and teachers constantly nag me about.So, why don't we kids read books anymore? Well, let me break it down for you.Technology is just too darn distracting!I mean, how can a book compete with the endless entertainment available on our tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles? With just a few taps or clicks, we can access millions of videos, games, and social media feeds that are way more engaging and interactive than any book could ever be.And let's not forget about the constant notifications and alerts that pop up on our devices, making it almost impossible to focus on reading for more than a few minutes without getting sidetracked.School readings are just plain boring.I get it; teachers want us to read classic literature and stuff that's "good for us." But let's be real, most of those books are just not relatable or interesting to us modern kids. We want to read stories about characters and situations we can actually connect with, not some old-timey novel about people in powdered wigs and fancy dresses.Plus, a lot of the books we're assigned in school are just way too long and dense. We're living in a world of short attention spans, and plowing through a 500-page novel just feels like torture.Reading is seen as uncool.Sadly, in many friend groups and social circles, being a big reader is kind of looked down upon. It's seen as something for nerds and geeks, and let's face it, no kid wants to be labeled as that.We're more interested in fitting in and being part of the cool crowd, and reading books just doesn't fit that image. It's way cooler to be playing the latest video game or watching the hottest new show on Netflix.There are just too many other activities competing for our time.Between school, extracurricular activities, hanging out with friends, and all the digital distractions mentioned earlier, finding time to sit down and read a book can feel nearly impossible.We're constantly on the go, with our schedules packed to the brim. Reading often gets pushed to the back burner because it's just not seen as a priority or something that's essential for our daily lives.Some of us struggle with reading.For some kids, reading is just plain difficult. Whether it's due to learning disabilities, lack of strong reading skills, or just ageneral dislike for the activity, struggling with reading can make it even less appealing.When reading feels like a constant uphill battle, it's no wonder kids would rather spend their time doing something else that's easier and more enjoyable.Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that reading books is completely obsolete or that no kids enjoy it anymore. There are still some bookworms out there (you know who you are!). But for the majority of us, reading has taken a backseat to other interests and priorities.So, what can be done to reignite our love for reading? Well, here are a few ideas:Make books more accessible and relevant.If books were available on our devices, formatted in a way that's engaging and interactive, with stories and characters we can relate to, we might be more inclined to give them a chance.Promote reading as a cool and fun activity.Instead of nagging us about reading, make it seem like a fun and exciting thing to do. Have book clubs or reading events where we can discuss books with our friends and make it a social activity.Offer more choice and flexibility.Instead of forcing us to read assigned books we might not care about, give us more options to choose books that align with our interests and reading levels. That way, reading doesn't feel like a chore.Incorporate reading into digital experiences.Maybe books could be made into interactive digital experiences, with elements of gaming, social media, and multimedia. That way, reading feels more in line with the technology we love.Make reading a family affair.If parents and siblings make reading a regular family activity, it could help normalize and encourage the habit from an early age.At the end of the day, reading is still an important skill and activity that has plenty of benefits. But if we want kids like me to embrace it, we need to find ways to make it more appealing, accessible, and relevant to our digital-age lives.It's not that we don't want to read; it's just that books are facing some tough competition in our fast-paced, technology-driven world. With a little creativity and adaptation,maybe we can bridge that gap and reignite our love for the written word.Well, that's my two cents on the matter. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a new level to beat on my favorite video game!篇6Why Don't Kids Read Books Anymore?Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I love video games, sports, hanging out with my friends, and pretty much anything other than reading books. I know I should read more, but books just seem so boring compared to all the other fun stuff I could be doing.From what I can see, a lot of kids these days feel the same way as me. We've got endless entertainment at our fingertips - video games, movies, YouTube, TikTok, you name it. Compared to those, books can feel kind of dull and old-fashioned. Why read the description of an alien planet when you can see it in full animated glory right on your iPad?It's not just that other things are more exciting though. I think a big reason kids don't read much is that we get distracted so easily. I'll start reading a book, but then I get a notification onmy phone and next thing I know I'm watching silly videos instead of turning the page. Or I'm playing a game and getting totally absorbed in that world rather than the world described in the book. We're constantly bombarded with things vying for our short attention spans.Another factor is that a lot of the books they make us read in school are just...boring! I'm talking about those old, dry classics from like a hundred years ago with weird language and plots that don't really speak to modern kids' lives and interests. Of course we'd rather be on our phones or playing games - those things are designed to be endlessly engaging and stimulating. Books were written in a totally different era.I'm not saying there's no place for books in today's world though. Some of my friends are really into graphic novels and manga, which are books but in a much more visual form that keeps you hooked. And I do occasionally come across a novel with an awesome, action-packed story that totally sucks me in the same way a video game does. Those "unputdownable" books do exist!The best ones feel relevant to my life too. I remember reading this one book last year about a kid who was just starting middle school and got his first phone and was dealing with allthe pressures of social media and cyberbullying. I could really relate to that because it's the kind of stuff kids my age are dealing with right now. Books that tap into those modern issues and experiences are way more interesting than some old book about like...whaling or whatever.That said, we can't ignore the fact that reading is just harder work than being entertained passively. Sitting and staring at a screen while something plays in front of you is way easier than having to use your imagination and picture everything yourself as you read the words on a page. Kids today have constant stimulation, so reading a book requires exerting extra mental energy that can feel like a chore.From my perspective though, reading isn't emphasized or encouraged enough nowadays. At home, my parents are always telling me to put down my video games and read instead, but then they just go and watch TV all evening. Maybe if they picked up books more often themselves, I'd be more inspired to do the same. At school, we have reading time, but it often feels more like an obligation or chore than something fun.I think if reading was presented as this cool, modern, interactive thing right from the start, more kids would get hooked. Like, what if books had video game elements built intothem where you could unlock rewards or go on quests based on what you were reading? Or if books were bundled with augmented reality components where the story came alive in 3D through your phone or tablet? That would be awesome and could make reading as absorbing as any video game or movie.At the end of the day, I don't think it's that kids are just lazy or not curious. We love learning and discovering new things - but in a world with so much stimulation available, books have to work hard to be as gripping and engaging as the rest of the entertainment landscape. Make reading more interactive, tell stories kids can relate to, and go easier on forcing us to read boring old stuff from centuries ago, and I bet more of us would happily pick up books. Reading is cool - it just has to catch up with the times!。

My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I absolutely love reading newspapers! I know that might sound a bit strange for a kid my age, but I really do enjoy it. Let me tell you all about why newspapers are so great.First of all, reading newspapers helps me learn so many new things every single day. There's always fascinating news and information from all around the world. One day I might read about a new scientific discovery, and the next day I'll learn about what's happening in politics in a different country. The variety of topics covered in newspapers is endless!Unlike a lot of other kids' books or websites, newspapers aren't written specifically for children. That means the writing is aimed at adults, which makes it a little more challenging for me to read. But you know what? I like a good challenge! Reading at a higher level really makes me think and stretches my vocabulary. My parents are always so impressed when I use a fancy new word I learned from the newspaper.The best part is that newspapers report on real events happening in the real world. These aren't made-up stories – they are facts about actual people, places, and events happening rightnow. To me, that makes newspapers way more interesting than fiction books. Reality is way more exciting than make-believe!I especially love reading the comics and fun sections in the newspaper. They always crack me up with their silly jokes and amusing stories. My favorite comic strip is probably Calvin and Hobbes – that rambunctious little boy and his stuffed tiger buddy always have me rolling on the floor laughing.Reading newspapers has also helped me become a better researcher. Whenever I need to learn more about a topic for school, I can just flip through the newspaper to find relevant articles. Having access to so much information at my fingertips is incredibly useful.And you know what else is great? Newspapers are nice and portable. I can roll one up and take it with me anywhere I go – on road trips, to the park, you name it. It's much easier than lugging around heavy books. Plus, once I've read it, I can recycle the newspaper or use it for fun crafts and projects.Some kids my age think reading is boring, but I totally disagree – especially when it comes to newspapers. They're informative, educational, entertaining, and let me learn about the big wide world beyond my little town. Subscribing to thenewspaper is one of the best decisions my family ever made. I plan on reading them for the rest of my life!I have to admit, I sometimes get made fun of a bit by my friends for being such a newspaper fan. They call me a granny or an old lady. To be honest, I really don't care what they think. Reading newspapers makes me happy and keeps my brain sharp. I'm proud to be a young intellectual!So that's why I'm absolutely obsessed with reading newspapers every day. From the hard-hitting news stories to the hilarious comics, I eat it all up with a big smile on my face. Newspapers teach me about history being made, introduce me to new ideas and fascinating people, and never fail to make me think.Who knows, maybe I'll grow up to be a famous journalist or news reporter one day! I'd love nothing more than to travel the world, meet interesting people, and share their stories through my writing. Thanks to all those newspapers I've read, I've gotten lots of practice putting my thoughts down on paper.Well, I think I've rambled on long enough about my love for newspapers. Thanks for letting me gush about one of my favorite hobbies! I need to go grab today's paper off the driveway before it gets soggy from the rain. I can't wait to cozy up in a comfychair, sip some hot chocolate, and devour all the amazing articles and tidbits inside. Reading the newspaper is pretty much my idea of the perfect day!篇5Why I Love Reading NewspapersHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I absolutely love reading newspapers and I can't get enough of them! I know it might seem a bit strange for a kid my age to be so into newspapers, but let me tell you why I find them so fascinating.First off, I'm a huge fan of learning new things every single day. Newspapers are like a treasure trove of knowledge just waiting to be uncovered. Every time I open up a fresh newspaper, it's like embarking on a brand new adventure into the world around me. The stories and articles inside teach me so much about what's happening in my town, my country, and even the entire planet!One of my favorite sections is the news. I find it absolutely thrilling to read about all the major events unfolding across the globe. Whether it's a new scientific discovery being made, a natural disaster striking somewhere, or an important politicaldecision being announced, I'm always eager to learn all the details. The reporters who write these news stories do such an amazing job of explaining complex topics in a way that I can easily understand.I also really enjoy reading the opinion and editorial pieces. I find it fascinating how people can have such different viewpoints and perspectives on the same events and issues. It really makes me think critically about things in a way I never did before. Even if I don't always agree with the writers, I appreciate how they back up their arguments with facts and logic. It's teaching me great skills for eventually forming my own educated opinions.Something else I get a huge kick out of is the comics section! After filling my brain with so much heavy news and analysis, it's great to sit back and have a good laugh over the silly comic strips. My favorite is definitely Calvin and Hobbes – I can totally relate to the mischievous adventures of that rambunctious kid and his stuffed tiger. The writers and artists who create those comics are geniuses at taking a light-hearted look at everyday life.The sports section keeps me up-to-date on all my favorite teams and athletes too. I'll admit, some of the stats and terminology can be a bit over my head at times. But I lovecheering on my local teams and heroes, and reading theplay-by-play accounts of big games is the next best thing to being there in person. Go Dodgers!And let's not forget about all the fun puzzles, brain teasers, and wordgames tucked away in most newspapers. Doing a nice crossword puzzle or Sudoku first thing in the morning is the perfect way to wake up my sleepy brain. It's an entertaining challenge that also helps sharpen my problem-solving abilities. Who knew learning could be so enjoyable?But I think what I appreciate most about newspapers is how they connect me to my community. Through the local news coverage, event listings, classified ads, and other locally-focused sections, I gain a much deeper understanding and appreciation for the area where I live. I learn about new businesses opening up, community programs I can get involved with, fun happenings to look forward to, and so much more. It makes me feel like an involved, contributing member of society.Whenever I tell kids my age that reading the newspaper is one of my favorite hobbies, I usually get some funny looks at first. But then I explain to them everything I just told you, and how amazing it is to have the whole world delivered right to my doorstep each morning. Pretty cool, right? By the time I'm done,most of them can't wait to check out a newspaper for themselves.So that's why I'm such a big fan of reading newspapers cover-to-cover every single day. They open my eyes to new ideas and different perspectives. They teach me so many fascinating facts about our world. And they help me stay connected to my local community. Maybe after hearing my reasons, you'll decide to pick up a newspaper yourself sometime. Who knows what amazing things you might discover between those pages? Happy reading!篇6Why I Love Reading NewspapersHi there! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about why I absolutely love reading newspapers. I know it might seem a bit weird for a kid my age to be so into newspapers, but I just can't get enough of them!First off, I have to admit that I'm a bit of a news junkie. I'm really curious about what's going on in the world around me. Newspapers are just packed with all sorts of fascinating information about current events happening locally, nationally,and even globally. Whenever I crack open a newspaper, I feel like I'm getting a window into so many different places and topics.One of my favorite parts of any newspaper is the front page. The headline stories and photos always grab my attention right away. Will it be about a new scientific discovery? An important political decision? A crazy story from somewhere across the world? The front page piques my curiosity and gets me eager to read all the details inside.Speaking of details, that's another thing I love about newspapers - the in-depth reporting and level of detail they go into. Sure, I could get a basic overview of a news story from watching TV or going online. But newspapers really dive deep with long articles full of quotes, facts, background information, and analysis from experts. I feel like I understand what's going on so much better after reading a full newspaper piece.The variety in newspapers is also something I really appreciate. One minute I'll be reading about a new movie that just came out, and then I'll flip the page and get immersed in an article about ancient Egyptian history. Or I'll go from learning about a new environmental policy to checking out the latest comics. There's something for every interest in those packed pages!I have to admit, part of the reason I love physically holding a newspaper is the satisfying feeling of flipping through those crisp pages. There are so many sections to explore beyond just the main news - sports, entertainment, comics, puzzles, opinion columns, you name it! It's like a treasure trove of information and amusement.Don't get me wrong, I'm not against getting news digitally too. But there's something special about the whole experience of sitting down with an actual printed newspaper. Maybe it's just a nostalgic thing, but I love being able to see all the stories laid out, feeling that fresh ink on my fingers as I riffle through the pages.One of the coolest things about reading newspapers is getting exposed to so many new ideas and perspectives. The opinion pages introduce me to all sorts of viewpoints about important issues. While I don't always agree, it really makes me think more critically. And articles about different cultures and lifestyles abroad always expand my understanding of the world.I'm definitely an old soul when it comes to my love of newspapers! A lot of kids my age probably think they're outdated and boring. But to me, they're windows into the endlessly fascinating world around us. You truly never knowwhat fascinating new things you'll learn with every turn of the page.I have to give my parents credit for fostering my newspaper habit from an early age. For as long as I can remember, they've always had a stack of newspapers around the house to read with their morning coffee. I started off just skimming the comics and front pages as a little kid. But soon enough, my curiosity took over and I became obsessed with reading every last word.Now, I literally beg my parents to let me be the one to grab the morning paper when it arrives. I get so excited checking the front page and planning which juicy articles I'll devour over breakfast. It's a delightful little ritual to start my day off on an informed note!I've tried my best to get my friends into reading newspapers too, but so far no one has taken the bait. They all seem way more interested in their phones and tablets for news. While I'm not against using technology, there's just something so classic and immersive about cracking open a freshly printed paper.Who knows, maybe if I keep working on them, I'll convince a few friends to join my newspaper nerd club. We could meet up and discuss our favorite articles over milkshakes or something.Okay, so maybe I'm getting a bit carried away! But I just get so jazzed talking about my love for newspapers.At the end of the day, reading newspapers teaches me something new and makes me feel more connected to the world every single time. They're chock-full of endlessly fascinating stories from every corner of the globe. And reading all those stories from start to finish, rather than just scrolling through headlines online, makes me feel so much more informed.Between the diversity of topics, captivating visuals and writing, and that unbeatable new newspaper smell, I'm hooked for life. So hand me a newspaper anytime, anywhere and consider me a hungry reader! I may be just a kid, but these newsprint treasures never fail to delight my endlessly curious mind.。
关于某高校学生手机阅读目的的调查英语作文
关于某高校学生手机阅读目的的调查英语作文A Big Survey on Why University Kids Read on Their PhonesHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 8 years old. My big sister Emily goes to a famous university and she had to do a big survey for one of her classes. The survey was all about why university students read stuff on their phones instead of real books. I think phones are pretty cool, but I still like reading from actual books because the pages smell nice. Anyway, my sister said I could tell you all about her survey since I helped her a little bit with it. Here's what it was all about!Emily's teacher said she had to pick a topic to study that was related to technology and education. Emily thought it would be interesting to look at why so many university kids read things digitally nowadays instead of using paper books, magazines and newspapers. She wanted to find out if they had different reasons for reading different kinds of stuff on their phones.First, Emily made a list of all the types of things university students might read on their mobile devices. She came up with things like textbooks, academic articles, fiction novels, news, social media posts, blogs, and lots more. Then she put together a super long survey that asked students what percentage of eachtype of reading they did on their phones. The survey also asked why they chose to read each thing on their phone instead of other ways.Emily posted her survey online and emailed it to lots of students at her university. She got a huge number of responses back which was really exciting! Then she spent weeks looking through all the data and making charts and graphs. I even got to help her with some of the easier calculations. Working with big numbers is hard though, so I'm glad I'm still just in second grade!After analyzing all the responses, Emily found that university kids use their phones for a huge portion of their overall reading. For things like textbooks, academic papers, and assigned course readings, most students reported doing over 90% of that reading on their phones or tablets! The top reasons were that it's much easier to carry their reading around everywhere, they can instantly look up anything they don't understand, and they don't have to lug heavy textbooks all over campus.For fun fiction reading like novels, the numbers were a little lower, with around 65% of students saying they read fiction books exclusively on their mobile devices. A lot of them said the main reasons were that ebooks are cheaper than paper books, they can get new books instantly without going to a bookstore,and they can discreetly read wherever they want without carrying a big book.News reading was almost 100% mobile, with students saying they constantly check news websites and apps throughout the day whenever they have little breaks. Very few people said they read printed newspapers or watched TV news anymore. Getting news instantly on their phones wherever they were was the biggest factor.Social media, blogs, and other online reading was 100% mobile too, obviously. My sister said nobody reads that kind of stuff any other way nowadays.The only types of reading that still had a lot of people preferring traditional formats were magazines, comicbooks/graphic novels, and long nonfiction books. Many students said they liked the visual experience and feel of those types of readings better in print. Though even for magazines, around 40% said they read them on their tablets or phones now.Overall, Emily's survey showed that mobile reading is absolutely massive among university students today, especially for school work and news/online kinds of reading. Even though lots of students still like regular books for some purposes, prettymuch everyone is reading a huge portion of their content these days on a portable screen instead of traditional formats.My big sister's project got a fantastic grade! Her professor said it was one of the most comprehensive analyses ever done on mobile reading behaviors. I'm really proud of Emily for doing such an awesome job. She worked super hard on it.I helped Emily a little bit but mostly I just think phones and reading on tiny screens is pretty wild. I'll probably still prefer holding a real book when I get to university. The pages just smell so good! But maybe by then some crazy new technology will come along and I'll be reading some other wacky way. I can't wait to see what the future holds. Okay, that's all from me! Let me know if you have any other questions!。

Some people can have as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings, such as battles lost and won, kings or rulers (统治者) overthrown (推翻) or killed, took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by words of mouth. Today we can read in our newspapers of important things that happen in faraway countries at the same time.Besides giving news from all over the world, newspapers tell us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, as well as radio, television and film guides. There are also book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements (广告). There are all kinds of advertisements. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space (广告版面), but it is worth the money because news of what they make in factories goes into almost every home in the country. For those who make newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit (利润).1．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Almost all the people all over the world read newspapers.B．Why do people read newspapers?C．Newspapers can make a good profit.D．How did the newspapers come about?2．What does the word “it” refer to?A．The newspapers. B．The newspapers space. C．The advertisements. D．The money. 3．Newspapers were created to ______ many years ago.A．make a profit B．spread information C．overthrow the rulers D．won the battles 4．About the use of newspapers, which one is not mentioned in the passage?A．Weather reports. B．Tell us about some films.C．Tell us some stories. D．Help us find people.5．From the passage, we can know the reason that the newspapers are cheap is ______.A．many people buy themB．there is help from the governmentC．they can get money from the advertisementsD．they don’t want to make moneyB14、WeChat, known as Weixin in China, is a mobile phone communication service which was developed after QQ by Tencent on January 21, 2011 in China. It has been the most popular in China.It is so easy to use WeChat. First, you can register WeChat with your phone number, and then add your friends’ numbers in your contact list. It works just like talking on QQ. You can send your pictures and share your feelings. And your friends are able to find them as soon as they get online. What’s more, they can also give you their comments（评价）such as “”.WeChat is powerful. It can send voice messages, text messages, pictures and videos. Varied information could be sent to your friends. Besides, Wechat provides us with services such as shopping, games, news and e-banks, which are popular with most people. For example, if you want to order a dinner in a restaurant, you can just scan its QR code by your WeChat and order the dinner without making a call or visiting the restaurant. You can even pay for it by WeChat. In this way, it will help you save time and money.WeChat is supported on Wifi, 2G, 3G and 4G. So you can chat with your family or friends in a new way by using your phone at a low price anytime and anywhere. Even though your friends stay abroad, they are still able to use WeChat to communicate with you and share their interesting experiences with you.However, there are some dangers of WeChat. It is often reported that many traffic accidents are caused by careless drivers who can’t help playing on WeChat while driving. And some bad guys even use WeChat to gamble (赌博), which breaks the law. Luckily, WeChat is improved now and then. So it seems impossible that WeChat will be replaced in the near future. It is going to solve these difficulties and develop better and better.1．The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 2 means ________ in Chinese.A．注销B．登录C．注册D．验证2．We can learn from the passage that_________________ .A．people could use WeChat in January, 2010B．people can use WeChat to order food at home nowC．people can’t talk with their friends abroad on WeChatD．people can share only messages at any time on WeChat3．How is the passage organized?

She said I was very thin; I wasn't good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud, and so on. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and asked, "Are those things true or not? Jane, didn't you ever think about what you're really like?" Then he added, "Well, you have that girl's opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true."I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change, like being very thin, but many I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, "Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do. "Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.

Increasingly, that’s no longer the case.Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the differen ce between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.”The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a home brand bias.”More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3, 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are b etter. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.1．What is this passage mainly about?A．The quality of ‘ Made in China’.B．The change in Chinese buyers’ thinking.C．Chinese products in the eye of foreigner.D．Difference between older and younger Chinese buyers.2．Which of the following is true according to the text?A．More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.B．Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.C．More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.D．Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more.3．Which fact best explains “home brand bias”?A．Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.B．More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.C．Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.D．William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.4．Who did most of the research for this report?A．Credit Suisse. B．CCTV 9.C．South China Morning Post. D．Business Insider.5．What’s the best title for this passage?A．Chinese products get more popular at homeB．Y oung Chinese are crazy for foreign brandsC．‘Made in China’ is welcomed all over the worldD．Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in ChinaE17、阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。

Why so few students
read newspapers
Today is a rapid development of science and technology of the times. So technology products appear in an endless stream. They supply us with abundant pleasures. But to students, now, it's loaded dangers so that deeply attracts students into it, and no time to eat supper. Not To mention reading newspaper. It is no longer a touch of shame.
According to many recent surveys, there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers from middle school to college, which worries both parents and teachers a lot.
In my opinion, The most significant reason is that the rise of many other information Media, for example, Internet, mobile phone, TV and so on. In the past, we only could read newspapers to know what happened around us, while now we only need to turn on the TV, or open our computers, which are more convenient.
In addition, computer and other media provide us with more newly news and more specific details, which we can get easily and without payment. There is also an advan tage that the new media have while newspapers don’t-a large amount of pictures, which make the information or news more lively. Therefore, more and more students tend to surf the Internet or watch TV instead of reading newspapers. Another reason The relatively high cost of newspaper, requires a lot of wood.
Another factor that few students read newspapers is that they have little
time to do such things. We all know that nowadays students, especially middle school and high school students are buried in the books almost every day to get good grades. Even on weekends, they are sent to heterogeneous cram school by their parents to become superior in school. Thus there is little free time for them to do extra things, not to mention reading newspapers.
The students' indifference to the current affairs also enables few newspapers readers. The 90s, most of today’s students, always pay greater attention to fashion and only care for themselves. Lacking a sense of collectivism and nationalism, the majority of the 90s have little interest in contemporary affairs, which are the basic content of most newspapers, so that there are few and few students reading newspapers.
Different outside and inside factors have contributed to the few newspaper readers among students. However, I like reading the newspaper because it has little harm to my eyes than the internet and TV and I can keep it forever. Although there are insufficient students reading newspaper, I believe that there are always some people would like to read it.。
