21、 You’re walking around and a thought occurs: “I should check my phone.” The phone comes out of your pocket. You type a message. Then your eyes remain glued to the screen, even when you walk across the street. We all do this kind of distracted walking, or“twalking.”
Why are we so addicted to it? People are, by nature, information-seeking creatures. When we regularly check our phones, we are snacking on information from devices that offer an all-you-can-eat buffet of information. And in some ways, smartphones were designed to be irresistible to information-seeking creatures.
However, at what point is this considered addiction?
Not all constant phone use was considered addictive, said Steven Sussman, a professor at the University of Southern California. External pressures, like a demanding job, could force people to frequently check their phones. But when people check their devices just to enhance their mood, this could be a sign of a developing problem.
Another signal of addictive behavior is becoming preoccupied with smartphone use when you should be doing something else. An even clearer indicator is what happens when the phone is taken away.
“Let’s say you go out to the mountains and you don’t get reception, so you can’t use a smartphone,” Dr. Sussman said. “Do you feel a sense of relief? Or do you feel, wow, I want to get out of these mountains — I want to use the smartphone. If you feel the latter, that’s toward the addictive direction.”
Jim Steyer, the chief executive of Common Sense Media, said there needed to be a broad public awareness campaign over the dangers of walking and texting in parallel with distracted driving.“You have distracted pedestrians and distracted drivers, so it’s the double whammy,” he said. “Tech addiction hits in both ways.”
【1】What is probably the proper explanation of the word “twalking”?
A.Talk while working.
B.Text while walking.
C.Travel while walking.
D.Tease others while walking.
【2】Why do we get into the habit of twalking ?
A.Twaling is interesting and beneficial.
B.The news on the cellphone is of great value.
C.Twalking is trend that everyone want to follow.
D.Smartphones comply with our eagerness for information.
【3】Which of the following is regarded as addition?
A.We use smartphones constantly for work.
B.When we use the smartphones, we are in a bad mood.
C.When smartphones are taken away, we are anxious to find them.
D.Climbing mountains without cellphone makes us feel a sense of relief.
【4】What can be reflected from Jim Stever’s words?
A.Distracted driving is more dangerous than twalking.
B.Twalking brings more dangers than distracted driving.
C.The number of twalking people is equal to distracted drivers.
D.Twalking and distracted driving deserve more public concern.
22、It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.
Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.
It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.
Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.
【1】What is stressed in the second paragraph?
A. The origin of Friends.
B. The role models of Friends.

D. The brilliance of Friends.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?
A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.
B. It is about friendship between college students.
C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.
D. It first came into being in the 1990s.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.
B. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro.
C. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.
D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.
【4】What might the author think of Friends?
A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.
B. Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies.
C. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.
D. He/she shows great affection towards it.

24、GRODNO, Belarus—The temperature is close to zero in the evening. Several young refugees are washing their hair with cold water by the fire, helping each other trim beards to look better in front of the camera during interviews. At the border between Belarus and Poland, in a forest far from settlements of both countries, many refugees longing for entering Germany and other rich European Union(EU) countries, who are stranded, are struggling in the cold winter with uncertain future prospects.
On the side of the barbed wire stretching for hundreds of meters along the border, children are chasing each other around camping tents and shelters—which are built with branches of trees and dry grass and swaying in freezing winds—laughing. while adults are not so blessed, though.
Two middle-aged men lifted the trunk of a log and then released it to chop the wood by gravity. Making a fire with wood is the only way to keep warm for these people in the harsh winter. Several other refugees are heating a 500 ml thermos on the fire, waiting for a sip of hot water. A father is taking his four-month-old baby to the food tent.
Since earlier this month. thousands of refugees from the Middle East and other regions have arrived at the Belarusian side of the border in an attempt to enter Poland and then Germany to seek asylum. With the increasing number of refugees, Poland has intensified presence of police and border guards to prevent them from entering the country.
The weather is getting colder and people are starting to fall sick, said an Iraqi Kurdish high school math teacher calling himself Karzan, whose family raised 1,000 U.S. dollars to support him to seek asylum in Germany as life in his hometown had become too difficult.
According to Karzan, the intermediary company promised that he would be able to cross the border of Germany three days after arriving in Belarus. He was promised: “Tomorrow the border will open at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and you can go to Poland and then to Germany. The government promised.”
After checking with Belarusian border guards, the reporter got the answer: "The refugees do not know where this news came from, but rumors are in the air.”
Expressing concern over the current migrant crisis, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier that the Western policy toward the Middle East and North Africa had led to the tensions.
