Activities like playing computer games, going o n the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: 揑find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored 揼rey games? is a change in the type of videogames available on the market.

About 6 percent said they are targeted by bul lies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are morelikely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. 揅hildren being bullied will find it hard to trust others,? Zhou said. 揟hey may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involv ed in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.28．Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?A． A 10-year-old boy from a poor familyB． A 17-year-old boy from a rich familyC． A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary schoolD． A 10-year-old girl from a key school29．Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____.

The whip get all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight, start a business, travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successfulpeople. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you w ant to accomplish, someone you want to become ?.take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way . 32．Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A． To trick the lion.B． To show off his skill .C． To get ready for a fight.D． To entertain the audience.33．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A． They feel puzzled over choices.B． They hold on to the wrong things.C． They find it hard to make changes.D． They have to do something for show.34．What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3? A． TolerantB． DoubtfulC． RespectfulD． Supportive35．When the world is 搘aving a chair in your face?, you’re advised to_____. A． wait for a better chanceB． break your old habitsC． Concentrate on your goalD． ask for clear guidance第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
