One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnection between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.

Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蠶食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.

Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（認(rèn)知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents — and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培養(yǎng)）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.

Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite of passage（通過儀式）.

Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.

1.According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _________.

A. be less healthy both physically and mentally B. keep a high sense of wonder

C. be over-protected by their parents                          D. change wild places and creatures for the better

2.According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is _________.

A. the fault on the part of their parents                        B. the result of their own carelessness in play

C. the natural experience in their growing up      D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers

3.In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _________.

A. blame children for getting lost in computer games

B. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature

C. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment

D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框A~F選項中選出能概括每段主題的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。選項中有一項為多余項。

A．How do we get the names for the days?

B．The origin of division of the times.

C．How did men invent the week?

D．The Jews names the seven days.

E．How did the Egyptians and the Romans name the days?

F．Reason for no names of the days.

1._____________

Do you know how the days of the week get their names? There was a time in the early history of man when the days had no names! The reason was quite simple：men had not invented the week.

2. _____________

In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to build cities, they wanted to have a special day on which to trade, a market day. Sometimes these market days were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh or every fifth day. The Babylonians decided that it should be every seventh day. On this day they didn't work, but met for trade and religious festivals.

3. _____________

The Jews followed their example, but kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into existence. It was the space between market days. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath day(which was Saturday). For example, Wednesday was called the fourth day (four days after Saturday)．

4. _____________

When the Egyptians adopted the seven­day week, they named the days after five planets, the sun, and the moon. The Romans used the Egyptian names of their days of the week: the day of the sun, of the moon, of the planet Mars(火星), of Mercury(水星), of Jupiter(木星), of Venus(金星), and of Saturn(土星)．

5. _____________

We get our names for the days not from the Romans but from the Anglo­Saxons, who called most of the days after their own gods, which were roughly the same as the gods of the Romans. The day of the sun became Sunnandaeg, or Sunday. The day of the moon was called Monandaeg, or Monday. The day of the Mars became the day of Tiw, who was their god of war. This became Tiwesday, or Tuesday. Instead of Mercury's name, that of the god Woden was given to Wednesday. The Roman day of Jupiter, the thunderer, became the day of the thunder god Thor, and this became Thursday. The next day was named for Frigg, the wife of their god Odin, and so we have Friday. The day of Saturn became Saeterndaeg, a translation from the Roman, the Saturday.

Last night I had the best gift ever.

    My older son was reading a detective novel while my younger son was reading fairy tales. They were each in different rooms, engrossed in their books with no TV, music or anything else distracting (使分心) their attention.

    I read a lot during my childhood, curling (蜷縮) up in sofa or lying in bed. Like anyone else, I had lots of other interests, but once I discovered reading, I really enjoyed it. I read everything — books, magazines, newspapers, even the back of food packages if there was nothing else to read at the moment. I must thank my parents for their love of reading. Longing for more information and knowledge, my parents were always reading a lot.

    Today’s children are provided with a variety of choices. It is so easy for them to become uninterested in reading and to view it as boring, uncool and unnecessary. There are TVs with astonishing choices of programs; there are MP3 players with thousands of songs at their fingertips; there are the Internet and mobile phones.

    I’ve told my sons that reading comes with information, understanding and connection, each of which will help them at every stage in their lives now and forever. So when my sons were reading their books last night, I watched them, noticing them put a bookmark into their books. That’s the most amazing gift that I have ever received.

1.The best title for this passage is _____.

A. My Two Sons        B. An Amazing Gift   

C. My Favorite, Reading   D. Let’s Read Together

2.The phrase “engrossed in” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_____”.

A. connected by       B. separated by      

C. devoted to     D. worried about

3.What does the author think of TVs, MP3 players, the Internet and mobile phones?

A. They are boring, uncool and unnecessary. 

B. They are too expensive for a family to afford.

C. They might distract children’s attention.

D. They might enrich children’s lives and make them happy.

4.According to the passage, the author’s best gift is _____.

A. her sons’ love for reading    B. reading books alone

C. bookmarks from her sons    D. having a happy family
