24、Today, our children spend more and more time online. Many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet, on video game systems or on their mobile phones. In the UK, 99% of teen kids aged 8 to 15 play video games every week, and children as young as five play video games regularly (有规律地). This information tells that the advantages and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.

For many people, ________ They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Video games also make you think in a creative way and you have to move your hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way that a child’s brain works. Video games also make children use their imagination (想象力). The player has to do many creative things, like drawing and building things. Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices (设备) work while they play.

However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download (下载) many games for free. They don’t need money, so they don’t need to ask their parents if they can download the games. This means that parents often don’t know if their children are playing violent (暴力的) or scary games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers, smartphones and iPads and this can lead to health problems – children who spend too much time on the computer and don’t exercise can become overweight. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can affect children’s social skills, they might not learn how to play with their friends.

In conclusion, it seems clear that video games have some advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, they are fun and educational. On the other hand, they can cause problems with children’s health and social skills.It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

【1】What does Paragraph 1 really want to tell us?

A．Many children have fun playing video games recently.

B．Children at a very young age play video games regularly.

C．Playing video games has so many dangers that we don’t know.

D．The advantages and dangers of video games must be fully considered.

A．video games may hurt their eyes.

B．video games can cost lots of money.

C．video games are fun and educational.

D．video games are as important as their lives.

25、Dear Abby,

I’m a helpless mother. My son Tom is 15 years old. I find that the older he grows, the less we talk. I feel very sad and I really need help.

My first problem is about his hobbies. He spends almost all his spare time on computer games. When he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I’m getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher tells me he always gets low marks in the English exams.

Second, he likes new technology, but I don’t have enough money and I can’t afford all the things he wants.

Recently, I’ve found that he is always alone. I’ve never seen him talking to his friends on the phone or going out with anyone at weekends. That is the last problem I have.

What should I do to help him? Please give me some advice.

A helpless mother

【1】The helpless mother has four problems.

【2】Tom talks with his mother for almost all his spare time at home.

【3】Tom is not good at English.

【4】From the passage we know that Tom’s mother is not rich.

26、   Jane Eyre（简爱）tells the story of a good and independent woman, who does not depend on others and does not give up even  facing many difficulties. Jane is poor and an orphan（孤儿）and is treated badly by her rich aunt and cousins. She is sent away to a school where the pupils are treated very badly. Jane remains strong, because she knows she is good. And when she had the chance to run away, she does. Jane takes a job in the house of a rich man called Mr Rochester.

Jane falls in love with Mr Rochester who is twenty years older than her. Jane is sad when Rochester brings a beautiful woman Blanche to his house. Jane thinks Rochester will marry Blanche. So she decides to leave. Rochester asks her to stay but she will not. She tells him she loves him and says that she is poor and not beautiful, but it does not mean that she has no feelings. She speaks to Rochester as a ‘spiritual equal’.

Rochester asks Jane to marry him and she agrees, but on the day of the wedding she finds out that Rochester is already married. Jane decides to leave and even though Rochester says his wife is mad and begs Jane to stay, she cannot. Jane will not stay with a man who is already married. She has no family to protect her and no money, but she is proud and she wants to do the right thing.

When Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was first published, it was called an autobiography（自传）. In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, like Charles Dickens, shows the double-standards in Victorian Britain. The poor and especially orphans were not given any protection by the law, they were seen as animals not humans. The rich lived a life of luxury(奢侈) and by giving a little money to charity they thought they had done their best.

C.Charlotte Bronte’s life and works D.the book Jane Eyre and its value

27、Material One

If your child often gets bad grades, you must feel sad. As a middle school teacher,I feel sad, too. However, I'd like to say that bad grades are not the end of the world.
