21、Smartphones, tablets and other digital devices can be addictive. They affect sleep. They draw kids into an alternate universe, often distracting（使分心）them from more productive-and healthier-real-world activities. And they are often linked to anxiety and depression, learning disabilities and obesity（肥胖）. Yet for many teenagers, cellphones and social media are also absolutely necessary tools for planning their social lives, keeping up with schoolwork and staying in touch with out-of-town friends and relatives.
How can parents make the most of the constructive uses of screen-based technology while minimizing its harmful effects？
The key is helping kids use technology as a tool, not a toy, “where there’s some purpose other than the medication of boredom,” says Jim Taylor, a psychologist and author of the book Raising Generation Tech：Preparing Your Children for a Media-fueled World. Taylor, like many other medical and mental health professionals, advises parents to set limits and stick to them. They should restrict the amount of time their kids spend on devices, create tech-free zones-no cellphones in their bedrooms, for example-and tech-free times, such as at the dinner table, in restaurants and on family outings.
Perhaps the best thing you can do is serve as a good role model by exhibiting the same online behavior you expect of your children, says Dr. Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford University psychiatrist. “If parents are breaking their own rules,” Aboujaoude says, “kids cannot be expected to behave differently.”
Chad Landgraf, 44, of Oklahoma, told me he was worried about how addicted his 12-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter became when they were on their devices. So, hoping to set an example, he switched from e-books to old-fashioned print. “When I had my Kindle or ipad open, they. didn’t know if I was reading or surfing the net,” Landgraf says. “But at least if I have a paper copy of a book, they know I am reading. Modeling seems like the easiest way.”
【1】What may be the result of children’s using digital devices?
A．Health improvement.
B．Free creation.
C．Sleep disorder.
D．Good conduct
【2】What does Jim Taylor suggest parents doing?
A．Killing time by using screen-based technology.
B．Forbidding kids using smartphones.
C．Setting clear boundaries for kids.
D．Restricting tech-free family time.
【3】Why did Chad pick up old-fashioned print?
A．He was afraid of becoming addicted.
B．He expected to be a role model.
C．He was tired of surfing the net.
D．He preferred paper copies of books.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Parenting in a digital world
B．Learning to be intelligent parents
C．Using smart devices wisely
D．Helping children behave themselves
22、When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van (厢式货车), learning from expert bakers, she wanted to do something similar. So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels.
Lemay's ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy, built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway. Renovations (改装) were mainly done by her and her dad. Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides, offering a lot of storage space, while the rooftop has 400-watt of solar power panels and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga. The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay’s work and hobbies. As Lemay mentions，not only did her father help, but also the rest of her family. Lemay’s mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions, and her sister crafted the leather pulls.
Her current nomadic (流浪式的) lifestyle fits well with her work doing audiobooks, voiceovers, and publishing work. In the end, this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable, now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water, electricity, and other daily resources that she uses. But all these day-to-day trouble is balanced with a greater sense of freedom.
“It’s almost mind-blowing, it feels like a completely different life because I'm doing the work online, and I can do things on my own schedule. Most of my days are mine—so by living in the van, I can be where I want to be, and do the things I want to do, and spend time outside. ”
【1】What inspired Amanda to make a change?
A．A couple’s travelling experience.
B．Some expert bakers’ suggestions.
C．Her own awful living conditions.
D．Her parents' continuous persuasion.
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The history of the van.
B．The talents of Amanda’s parents.
C．The renovations of the van.
D．The attitudes of Amanda’s parents.
【3】Which of the following may best describe Amanda?
A．Selfless and kind-hearted.
B．Independent and determined.
C．Decisive and adventurous.
D．Playful and romantic.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Amanda is completely free from any worries
B．Amanda fully values her sense of freedom.
C．Amanda will return to her previous life soon.
D．Amanda will invite her family members to join her.
