21、 It’s an argument that every modern parent has had with their child: the battle to break them away from the mobile phone they’re staring at. For children, a smartphone is a window to games, videos and constant interaction with their friends. But for parents, it can feel like a minefield. 【1】
First, it’s worth bearing in mind that screen time can be beneficial. “【2】But they often use them to develop an interest. For instance, if they’re interested in gymnastics, they’ll watch videos of routines and try to learn from them,” Peter Twining, professor of education at the Open University says.
【3】It may help to explain the substantial gap in opinion between children and parents about how much screen time is acceptable. According to a survey, the amount of screen time that adults thought appropriate for children was 1.75 hours, with children believing it to be 3.34 hours.
【4】However, recent research suggests that instead of setting specific time limits for usage, such as a maximum of two hours per day, it’s actually the nature of the screen time that matters. For instance, passively looking through social media posts is less beneficial than actively playing games, which can improve problem solving skills. A study found that “how children use the devices, not how much time they spend on them, is the strongest predictor of emotional or social problems connected with screen addiction.”
Twining agrees, saying: “I’m less concerned about screen time than about the nature of the interaction around the screen. The screen should become a shared focus for interaction with the family rather than an individual activity. The screen shouldn’t be an alternative to communicating with your child. 【5】”
A.It should be an improvement to it.
B.It’s a dilemma to judge which side outweighs the other.
C.A mobile phone is different from traditional land line phones.
D.But at least both parties do recognize that there should be limits.
E.Screen time counts down only during the time a child is signed in.
F.We tend not to recognize the value of what they do on their mobile devices.
G.We should emphasize the difference in understanding children’s mobile phone usage.
22、Easy Ways to Fight SAD in Dark Winter Days
When sunlight is in short supply and nights are long and cold in the winter, millions of people realize they don’t feel as merry as usual. 【1】 , you may be suffering from “seasonal affective disorder” or SAD. Try these easy ways to fight SAD.
Get more light. Most researchers agree that people who fall victim to SAD most often are particularly sensitive to the lack of light. 【2】 , getting light in the morning seems to offer the most benefit. If the weather permits, take a walk. In your home or office, try sitting close to a window that faces south.
Increase exercise. Although exercising may be about the last thing you want to do and you would rather curl up (蜷起来) with a book or watch TV, studies have shown that upping your exercise routine can reduce SAD. Doctors advise exercising at least 20 minutes a day at least three times a week. 【3】 . The benefits of exercise are also long-lasting. The longer you do it, the more benefit you’ll get.
【4】 . Studies have found that people who have low levels of two chemicals found in fish, EPA and DHA, are at increased risk for SAD. You can eat more fish-at least three times a week to fight it.
Take extra vitamin D. The body makes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunshine. 【5】 .

B．Work out at the gym
C．If you’re one of them
D．Any type of exercise offers benefits
E．Fresh fish contains a lot of EPA and DHA
F．Although any amount of outdoor light can help
G．Doctors recommend one pill a day if you get little exposure to the sun
23、We’ve all been there: we go to the gym for a few days, and then we give in because it’s too tiring. Even though you have great determination in the beginning, you find it difficult to make daily exercise a habit. So, how can you do it?
A. Plan the time
Take your day and break it into hours on a piece of paper. It’s suggested by many experts that you exercise in the morning. Not only do you burn more calories at that time, but it will make you energetic.
B. Choose your exercise
What do you like to do? Whether it’s swimming, running, cycling, or something else, find something you enjoy. If doing the same thing every day makes you bored, do something different. Change and make it fun!
C. Set your goal
What do you want to get out of this? Whatever it is, write it down. Put a note by your bed with that goal written on it to motivate you to get up in the morning and actually get out the door.
D. Stick to your plan
Once you decide that you’re going to do something, stick to it. Don’t think that it will be easy. If you can make it through the first few weeks then you’re fast on your way to making exercise a habit.
What exactly does building a habit do for you? Most importantly, it makes exercise a priority (优先的事物) in your life. People who have a habit of exercising won’t feel right if they don’t get in their daily exercise time.

24、ChatGPT, launched in November, 2022, has attracted over 100 million monthly users in just two months, which is considered the fastest-growing consumer app. 【1】
ChatGPT can write emails, computer code, even academic papers and poems. 【2】 With various functions, it is suspected to do no good to multiple areas, above all the higher education.
So is ChatGPT a benefit or a trouble?
【3】 Some universities have banned it due to the warning that it could prompt more students to cheat, especially in exams. 【4】 Andreas Schleicher, director of education and skills of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development, for instance, said he welcomes ChatGPT because “it gives people a chance” to concentrate less on tasks that technology can perform equally well.
According to a survey covering more than 100 educators and over 1,000 students, one-third of the educators said they believe ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities, while the rest supported students having access to it. The attitude of most students sees a distinct difference. 【5】
As a result, the observed value and usefulness of ChatGPT seem to outweigh the risks. What we should focus on has shifted to better deal with the chatbot and its development.

Removing the _______ element from ordering a cup of coffee is one of the company’s primary selling points. “No more lines, no more counter confusion, no more misspelled names,” Briggo’s website says.
Kevin Nater, Briggo’s president and chief executive, said the machine would best fit locations in which _______ is highly valued, like airports and office buildings, where several of the machines currently operate.
“Imagine you’re coming into the security line at the airport, your flight is coming up, and you know that if you want a coffee you’re going to stand in a long line,” said Nater. “From the security line, you can simply order your cup of coffee and pick it up at the coffee haus and make it to your flight ________.”
