On the bus, on the subway, every head is lowered to a cell phone, iPad, or other digital device. But does this mean more and more people are getting into reading the digital way?
According to the National Reading Survey, before the 17th World Reading Day on April 23, only 1.2 percent of Chinese people said they read a lot. But 38.6 percent said they read on digital devices like cell phone and e-books. This is a 17.7 percent increase from 2010.
Many experts are talking about a trend toward fragmented reading ––reading many short messages or items on a digital device like a cell phone instead of one long text in a book.
Zhao jianmin, a professor at Shanghai University, said fragmented reading was part of modern life. “The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book,” he said. “So making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend”
Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can enjoy large amounts of information, knowledge and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster than traditional deep reading.
However, some experts fear the trend of digital reading will lead people to read in a simple way. Xu Guosheng, at a Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, says fragmented reading makes it harder for people to think more about what they read. He also warned fragmented reading could make people lazy about remembering facts because they know they can always just search for answers online.
“Fragmented reading is sometimes good, but don’t let it take all your time,” suggested Tian Zhilng, an editor. He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way, and we should read for knowledge, for practical use and for pleasure. He suggested people choose easy books first, then move onto more difficult ones.

解析試題分析：本文敘述了現(xiàn)在人們的閱讀習(xí)慣正在改變，開始從手機或電腦上進行碎片化閱讀，而不是讀一本完整的書。由于現(xiàn)代生活的節(jié)奏較快，人們沒有時間坐下來讀整本書。碎片化閱讀的優(yōu)勢是短時間里可以享受大量的信息，知識和娛樂，而且數(shù)字化閱讀比傳統(tǒng)的閱讀速度要快。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的People can enjoy large amounts of information, knowledge and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster than traditional deep reading.可知碎片化閱讀的優(yōu)勢是短時間里可以享受大量的信息，知識和娛樂，而且數(shù)字化閱讀比傳統(tǒng)的閱讀速度要快。因此有兩項優(yōu)勢，故選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Fragmented reading is sometimes good, but don’t let it take all your time,” suggested Tian Zhilng, an editor. He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way可知Tian Zhilng建議碎片化閱讀和書籍都要閱讀。因為我們更深一步閱讀好的書籍是很重要的。故選C。
【小題3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段的 many people no time to sit and read a whole book,可知許多人沒時間坐下來閱讀正本書，說明生活的節(jié)奏快，故選C。

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (專家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
【小題1】Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?
| A．What can they do about this? |
| B．Where do the problems come from? |
| C．When did they have these problems? |

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna said.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(依偎) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, a writer.
“This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are the best to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental(腦力的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
【小題1】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means that __________.
| A．the son is always busy with his studies |
| B．the son doesn’t want to see anymore |
| C．the son keeps himself away from his parents |
| D．the son wants to live with his friends |
| A．their daughter isn’t as happy as before |
| B．they can’t understand what their daughter thinks |
| C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter |
| D．their daughter talks far more to her friends than to them |
| A．teenagers talk a lot with their friends |
| B．teenagers do not talk with their teachers |
| C．teenagers do not talk much with their parents |
| D．teenagers talk little about their studies |
| A．teacher | B．friend | C．manager | D．student |
| A．Parents are all happy with their growing children. |

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while— then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
【小題1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families. |
| B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. |
| C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. |
| D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. |
| A．warmly welcomed at the airport |
| B．offered a ride to his home |
| C．treated hospitably at his home |
| D．treated to dinner in a restaurant |
| A．strict with time | B．willing to spend time |
| C．careful with time | D．serious with time |
| A．Friendships between Chinese |
| B．Friendships between Americans |
| C．Americans’hospitality |
| D．Americans’and Chinese’s views of friendships |

Cosplay is great!
Cosplay is short for “costume play”, which means play-acting in costumes. People who take part in cosplay are called cosplayers. They usually create or make costumes of their favorite animation characters by themselves or get a tailor to make them. Sometimes they even prepare small things, like knives and earrings, which the characters wear or use in the animation.
Cosplayers are creative and proud of their work. They spend a lot of money and energy on it. They not only dress up as their favorite characters in the animation, but also act like the characters.
New trend (趨勢) is on!
While Chinese fans are busy cosplaying characters in Japanese animations or movies, Japan, as a big country of cosplay, now has a trend to cosplay non-Japanese movie characters. Japanese cosplayers like the characters in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very much. But the most popular ones are from the Harry Potter films. They have a very large number of fans in Japan. The character who is liked the best by Japanese cosplayers in Harry Potter films is Draco Malfoy, though he is Harry’s rival(對手) and always tries to get Harry and his friends into trouble.

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods(方法), more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
| The importance of 【小題1】 the environment | |
| Problems | ◆ More fish are caught. ◆ More 【小題2】 are cut down. ◆ Waste products are still 【小題3】 into rivers. ◆ The population of the world keeps 【小題4】 at present. |
| Causes | ◆ The world is becoming too 【小題5】 . ◆ Modern methods make the situation 【小題6】 . |
| 【小題7】 | We human beings will not survive on the earth. |
| Solutions | ◆ Eat more vegetables and less meat so that more food will be provided for everyone, because there will be more 【小題8】 to grow crops. ◆ Use modern methods of 【小題9】 control so that the population will not grow too fast. ◆ 【小題10】 people so that the earth will be better and cleaner. |
