24、   An article just published says some forms of screen time are more harmful to academic(学业的) achievement than others. The researchers found that viewing television and playing video games appeared to have a negative effect on academic achievement.

Based on an analysis of the data from 58 studies related to screen time and various measures of academic achievement, it should be noted that some individual studies do find a connection between total screen time and academics. Too much screen time produces several problems, including academics, sleep, socialization as well as physical and mental health.

The findings of the new study lend support to the need to look at not only how much time teens spend on the use of digital devices but what positive and negative effects various devices may have on academic achievement. The bottom line is that parents and educational professionals should consider supervision(监督) and reduction on screen time to improve the academic performance of teens, as the academic performance of teens appeared to be more adversely affected than that of children.

Children may be obsessed with activities like playing games, while teens can even stay up all night texting or chatting. So the most important rule should be no digital devices of any kind allowed in bedrooms. Also, there should be no screen time of any type at least one hour before bedtime. The blue light from these devices causes teens to have trouble falling asleep. 

Alternatives(替代品) to digital use can be physical activities or reading. There is an increase in Vitamin D deficiency(不足) in teens from not getting at least an hour per day of exposure to the sun and they need to spend more time outside. Spending time reading each day is vital(important) for all family members. It’s great to read the same book and discuss different thoughts. Research is starting to show that we comprehend more from reading from books on paper than books on screen.

Besides limiting time and encouraging alternative activities, teens are encouraged to use media creatively. This might include making videos, recording their own music, or learning to code. Apps to teach office skills or researching are great. While monitoring and setting limits are the key, parents also need to suggest and encourage alternative uses of digital devices as well as alternative activities to replace the screen time.

【1】The second paragraph is mainly about ______.

A.the influence of the new study B.methods used in the new study

C.the conclusion of the new study D.suggestions given by the new study

【2】The underlined word “adversely” probably means “______”.

A.in an unfavorable way B.in an unusual way

C.in an unbelievable way D.in an interesting way

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Teens should be banned from using media in most cases.

B.The study focuses on the influence screen time has on teens’ health.

C.Viewing television much can get in the way of good test performance.

D.It’s better to go outside than to read as an alternative activity to screen time.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Should Teens Say Goodbye to Screen Time?

B.What Can Be Alternatives to Digital Use for Teens?

C.Can Screen Time Influence Teens’ Performance at School?

D.How Should Teens Change the Way They Use Digital Devices?

26、   Print a mobile phone at home. Download a film in just one second. Amazing things like these might come true in 2019 as new technology comes into our lives.

Smart screens

This year, smart screens will be big news. They use AI technology. Google Home Hub is a smart screen that people can use for everything such as looking at family photos. You can also connect your other smart devices (设备) to Home Hub through the Internet. You can turn on lights or the TV simply by speaking to Home Hub. Facebook (脸谱网) is also going to have its own smart screen called Portal. With Portal, you can video chat with your friends and family members. What’s more, Portal has a camera that can follow you around. You can just put Portal on a table and walk around the room. Your chat partner will always be able to see you.

5G Internet

How fast is your mobile phone network? After 3G and 4G, 5G is on the way. 5G is very fast. Its speed is about 10 to 20 times faster. You can download a whole film in just one second with 5G. This used to take a few minutes with 4G networks. More importantly, with the help of 5G, we can use the Internet of things (IoT, 物联网). IoT connects everyday devices to the Internet. People can control their devices from far away with IoT. For example, on a hot summer day, you can turn on your air conditioning (空调) while you are on your way back home. All of these things need very fast Internet speeds, and 5G is the key.

3D metal (金属) printing

3D printing isn’t new. It first came out in the 1990s. But it isn’t commonly used in everyday life. 3D printers are expensive, each costing thousands of dollars. And they can only print plastics and other basic materials. But now, some 3D printers can print metal. And people can use 3D printing to make things like toys and jewelry. What’s more, people could print electronic devices at home. This would help to save time and money. So more people might think about buying their own 3D printers.
