22、A friend sent me an email, asking if I'd consider writing about educational apps for children to watch while on road trips. The email said, "Many are turning to road trips. And often with long car rides comes the use of on-screen entertainment. These educational apps should also develop their art, math and design skills."
While I realize the intention is well-meaning, and doubtless would lead to a quieter car ride for the parents, the thought of sticking kids in front of screens on a road trip makes me queasy. You see, if they're glued to a screen for hours on end, they will miss everything that's going by outside the window. And that means they'll miss out an a major part of the trip and the opportunity to engage in conversation with family members, but to be alone with their own thoughts, or simply to be bored.
There is so much to see on a road trip! Cars, trees, faces, building, markets, airplanes landing-the entire world is out there, and staring at it from the backseat of a car familiarizes a child with what is going on.
I have a theory that paying attention to one's surroundings while traveling by car helps children develop an internal compass. If they don't pay attention during all those years when they're being driven, they'll struggle to know where to go and how to locate themselves once they're independent. This doesn't mean they have to be alert (警惕的) for the entire journey, but not being on a screen naturally allows for a higher level of engagement with one's surroundings. When you listen to music, you'll look up occasionally; you'll pay attention to landmarks.
What can children do on the trip? Actually, there are plenty of off-screen activities.
【1】What was the author's friend's intention to develop apps?
A．To make some extra money.
B．To seek advice on educating kids.
C．To entertain and educate children.
D．To improve the relationship in the family.
【2】Which can best replace the underlined word "queasy" in paragraph 2?
A．Uncomfortable.
B．Tired.
C．Unsafe.
D．Lonely.
【3】What is the author's opinion on focusing on the surroundings when traveling?
A．It can raise children's environmental awareness.
B．It can help children develop a sense of direction.
C．It can give children the courage to learn to drive.
D．It can enable children to become more independent.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Take the Chance of Traveling to Relax Yourself.
B．Say Goodbye to Educational Apps on Your Holiday
C．Learn to Look up from Your Screens from Time to Time
D．Leave the Screens Alone on Your Next Family Road Trip
23、Because of the pandemic, our lives have been full of uncertainty—about safe behaviors, school openings, the job market and more. Uncertainty is stressful, of course, and research suggests it may harm our health. But a study published this year in Emotion has uncovered a surprising upside to feeling uncertain:【1】
In one experiment, researchers handed out flyers to pedestrians that said “Life is unpredictable: Stop and smell the roses” or “Life is constant: Stop and smell the roses”. 【2】 And the people who read that life was unpredictable literally smelled the roses 2.5 times more often than the others.
【3】 They texted 6,000 participants up to a dozen times a day, asking how messy and unpredictable the world was and whether they were savoring(细细品味) the present. It turned out that when the world was messy, people were more likely to be appreciating the little things in their lives.
Why? Savoring and appreciating the small things in life may be a protective response that our minds activate when we feel upset by the ambiguity of life. 【4】 Further, it takes us into the clear and pleasurable sensations of right now.
“If the world is uncertain, it makes sense to take advantage of what you have now because it may not exist shortly,” explains lead author Andrew L. Gregory. 【5】 For example, why not turn into enjoyable sights, sounds or smells?
A．It might drive us to appreciate the little things in life.
B．It even causes people to ignore the beauty surrounding them.
C．A short distance away was a table with a dozen red roses on it.
D．The researchers found that this effect translated to everyday life.
E．It is not easy to appreciate the insignificant things in our daily life.
F．We can even deliberately practise savoring life when it seems unsettling.
G．This response pulls us out of fears and worries about an uncertain future.
24、 Millions of people nowadays use Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to converse with their friends. They use Skype to bridge long distances and Twitter to interact with public figure. But as more of our lives move online, are Internet-based interactions sufficient for a fulfilling life?
There have been considerable warnings about the drawbacks of online interactions. Some scholars have realized that our devotion to the screens is detracting from face-to-face conversations. For instance, a study showed that children who had been spending time with television and computers for a long period of time were significantly worse at recognizing nonverbal（非语言的）psychological suggestions in a conversation than those who had just five days without screens.
But there is another side to the argument: A 2015 Pew Foundation report found that teenagers use online interactions to strengthen their friendships. Plus, 57% of teenagers reported that they’d made friends online. Amori Milkami, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia, has conducted several studies on online interactions and tells that the nature of online communication is changing as young people treat social networks in an entirely different ways.
Too much research tends to mix all online interactions together, she says, instead of distinguishing between positive, meaning conversations and more superficial, negative exchanges. According to her, online communities can be especially useful for people who have an unusual concern and live in isolated areas, and so are unlikely to meet people with similar concerns in person.
“The major good aspect of online interactions compared to in-person ones is that social network allow users to interact with so many people at once. Whether or not that’s positive or negative depends on the type of friends you have. It’s possible to get the same level of achievement from online interactions as it is from in=person friends,” says Mikami. “This might be hard for older adults to believe and it might not be possible for them, because they might not feel comfortable having those kinds of deep online interactions. To them, the online world will always be more superficial. But young people really see it differently.”
As the nature of online interactions continually evolve, it’s difficult to definitely establish whether or not social media friendships alone are sufficient. But for those who don’t have strong in-person support groups, the value of online communities shouldn’t be dismissed.
【1】The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably means that the screens are ______.
A.becoming more and more appealing
B.controlling what people talk about with each other
C.making face-to-face conversations less efficient
D.changing the way people communicate with each other
【2】What is the advantage of online interactions according to Milkami?
A.More positive topics will be focused on.
B.Communication efficiency will be improved.
C.People will feel more comfortable with communicating.
D.People will have more in-depth communication with others.
【3】Which of the following will the author agree with?
A.Compared with the real world, the online communities are superficial.
B.It is impossible to know whether social media friendships are sufficient.
C.Teenagers can depend on online interactions to strengthen their friendships.
D.The importance of online communities should be considered for some people.
25、On a road trip to California’s breathtaking North Coast region, my husband Ken and I, my teenage daughter Lahre, and my nine-year-old son Shawn, stopped to have lunch and stretch our legs a bit.
As we walked toward the ______ entrance, a man with an untidy beard and dirty hair jumped up from a nearby bench and opened the door for us. An old bike ______ with a sleeping bag and the rest of his ______ rested against the bench, it was obvious that he was ______. But regardless of his ______, he greeted us as if we were his best friends, “Today’s soup and sandwich special’s a great deal.”
Once inside, my teenager whispered to me, “Mom, he ______.” And Shawn asked questions about him, not quite understanding the ______ of a homeless person. Ken and I explained the best we could, telling the kids to look to the person underneath and within ______ the dirt and smell.
With the windiest part of our trip just ______ us, the kids needed to take car-sick pills so I went back to the car to fetch them. As I ______ the front door, the “doorman” was opening it for an older couple, who rushed past him and didn’t even acknowledge his ______. I let the couple ______ first and then said a loud and gracious “thank you” to the doorman.
After going back inside, I asked our waitress, who was bringing the kids their dessert, to ______ one soup and sandwich special to our bill. Both the kids looked at me ______ ---as we had already eaten but Ken knew exactly what I was doing.
By this time, we had to get back on the road to stay on schedule. As we rounded the comer of the very full restaurant, the “doorman” was sitting at a table enjoying his ______. When seeing me, he jumped up and ______ his hand for a handshake. It was then that I ______ he had tears in his eyes—tears of gratitude.
____ we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude, and I was doing just that. Hopefully, when someone opens a door for Lahre and Shawn during their ______ through life, they will remember to say “______“ and have a great soup and sandwich special on the menu, too.
