Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “t he proportion ( ⽐比例例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session had declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
At the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom( 逼近) ahead, parents might take the chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
28.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A.Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of chi ldren’s books.
B.Children’s after-class activities. D. Parent-child relationships.
29.Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?
A. In paragraph 2
B. In paragraph 3
C. In paragraph 4
D. In paragraph 5
30.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
31.How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A.Act as role models for them.
B.Ask them to write book reports.
C.Set up reading groups for them.
D.Talk with their reading class teachers.
D
Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening,I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops.I stopped to watch it for a few moments,thinking about what a pity it was that most city people,myself included,usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it.He grew up living in a forest in Europe,and the moon meant a lot to him then.It had touched much of his life.
I know the st December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends.We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or hot water.Our group had campfires outside every night,and indoors when it was too cold outside.The moon grew to its fullest during our trip.Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys.Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard.It was one of the quietest places I had ever known,a bott omless well of silence.And abov e me was the full moon,which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass,metal,plastic and fibre-glass.We have televisions,cellphones,heaters,ovens,air-conditioners,cars and computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day,most of it spent indoors,I thought:before long,I would like to live in a small cottage.There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains.I may become an old man there,and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons .But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
32.The writer felt sorry for himself because .
A.there was too much pollution
B.he usually missed the full moon sights
C.he didn’t adapt to modern inventions
D.there were too many accidents on the road
33.What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A.No modern equipment.
plete silence.
C.The nice full moon.
D.The high mountains.
34.In Paragraph 4,modern things are mentioned mainly to .
A.show that the writer likes city life very much
B.tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C.explain that people have few chances to enjoy nature
D.show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
35.The best title for the passage would be .
A.Touched by the Moon
B.The Pleasures of Modern Life
C.A Bottomless Well of Silence
D.Break away from Modern Life

Little Habits Make a Big Difference
Everything around us is changing at amazing speed, it seems－but some things will always remain the same. 36 Some of our daily habits have the power to always give us happiness and lead toward success. Here are some little habits that can make a big difference：
1.37 Many studies have linked early rising with success. An early morning wake-up carries benefits including better planning and anticipation(预料料)of problems, and more time to the things that make you happy.
2.Happiness comes to those who are curious. 38 As long as you live, there will always be something to learn, and as long as you follow your heart and your passions, you won’t miss out on learning.
3.Believe in yourself and all that you are. 39 Confidence is the key to success －the thing that lets you look at the past without regret, stay grounded in the present, and prepare for the future without fear.
4. A day well spent gets you a good night sleep. Enough sleep makes you feel healthier and happier, and it’s more than lifting you up or removing exhaustion(疲惫). Adequate sleep is a key part of your health and inner happiness. 40 It doesn’t take a huge effort to make a significant change in your life－using one or two tiny habits may be all you need. Get started today and you’ll soon be experiencing the rewards.
A.That’s why habits are so powerful.
B.The ground work of all happiness is good health.
C.Early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise.
D.The habit of respect means treating everyone with kindness.
E.Nothing will ever make you happier than having faith in yourself.
F.When you rest better, you can live better and achieve more happiness.
G.There is no stage in life when we can’t be learning something valuable.
