Research suggests that at least 64% of people now spend up to four hours daily of spare time in front of a screen. Just as TV watching has been linked to higher chances of being fat and getting diseases, this extra sedentary time is bad news for our health.
1. Choose outdoor activities over technology
When you’re at home, make it a rule that you can’t be online if the sun is shining. Instead, you have to go for a walk, ride a bike, swim or get some other kind of healthy physical activity for at least an hour before you can pull out your phone or tablet, or take a seat at the computer. This rule should be fit for everyone in your family.
2. Limit social media use
Social networks have changed computer and mobile use for people of all ages. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat, limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Avoid aimless browsing (浏览) and give your time online a purpose: research holidays or catch up on the news of the day. Then log off.
3. Save time for reading
Challenge yourself to read at least 30 pages of a great book before you check your computer or mobile phone. Pick the right reading material and you’ll soon find you’ve discovered an enjoyable pastime.
4. Create projects for yourself
It’s amazing how much you can achieve when you’re not glued to (长时间盯着) a screen. Do a list of one-hour evening projects. Some suggestions are organizing kitchen cupboards, cleaning your bedroom. Then try to do one each evening.
69. The underlined word “sedentary time” probably means ____________.

The Chinese used the abacus as early as the 2nd century BC, but now are welcoming “machine brains” to educate the young in this modern age.
For the young, e-learning seems so 75 . Zhu Xufei, 12, uses her parents’ mobile phone to study English every day on her way to school and back home. Through an app, she can listen to and repeat back words and sentences in English. The app even tells the difference between her speech and proper pronunciation, and then 76 provides the score.
The mother of 12-year-old Zhu said, “The apps have enabled her to learn and practice spoken English anytime, anywhere,” she says. “The apps also have been designed to use games to encourage learning.”
It’s very popular nowadays, especially with parents. WeChat accounts of parents post progress reports every day on 77 their children are doing. For example, “Day 30: My son Thomas has learned 99 English words on Talking Pets.”
It’s not only children using mobile devices (设备) to learn new things. Many Metro or bus passengers can be seen with earplugs tuned into app courses, like business management or the driving test. “I don’t have to 78 books around and turn pages on crowded buses,” an office lady says. “With just a touch of the screen on my smartphone, I can do practice tests whenever I have time. It also records my 79 and makes it easier for me to review them.”
E-learning has been welcomed among education services. Zheng Lili, owner of an English training school, says the learning apps help 80 better monitor the performances of students.
We believe that education should be ‘whole-person’ development and such devices are just support tools.
75. A. strange B. difficult C. natural D. horrible
76. A. immediately B. gently C. nearly D. secretly
77. A. whether B. where C. why D. how
78. A. borrow B. carry C. return D. deliver
79. A. mistakes B. jobs C. photos D. intersts
80. A. bosses B. neighbours C. friends D. teachers
C Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给):(14分)
Question
Answer
D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
When Jan and Brian Dutcher moved to San Diego for Brian’s new job at San Diego State University, the neighbors smiled and introduced themselves. But there were no “bring a plate” invitations, no car pooling for her daughters Liza, 12 and Erin, 15.
“The families really didn’t know each other, and we missed that,” says Jan. “We are far from relatives. Neighbors are our family.”
So Jan, an artist, decided to repeat a project she had done for Liza’s fifth-grade class: ask each person to paint his or her face on a big canvas (帆布). The finished piece would become the new family photo.
First, Jan painted a grid (网格) on the canvas and put it up in the garage with a table of paints nearby. Then whenever she was home, the “art room” door was up, with an open invitation for neighbors to paint. The first to stop in were kids riding by. “They thought it was cool,” says Jan, but the adults weren’t so keen. “Most said they hadn’t picked up a paint brush since kindergarten,” she says. “They were afraid they’d mess it up.” But as word slowly spread, they came, some using their driver’s license photos as models.
Then something started to happen. They returned—to see who had painted, or if they could recognize who was who. In Jan’s garage, they began to chat about schools, jobs and families. Almost daily. Wendy, who lived across the street and was seriously ill, came in her wheelchair to watch the fun. Neighbors began to offer their support.
When the worst thing happened and Wendy died, they stood by her husband, Bill and invited him over for dinners.
This year has been different in the neighborhood. Families take turns hosting happy hours. “We’re watching over each other now just like in the painting” says Jan.
88. Why did the Dutchers move to San Diego?
89. Where did people paint, on a wall, a car or a canvas?
90. Who joined in the project first after a grid was done?
91. What did the adults in the neighborhood think of the project at first?
92. With the project on and on, what happened in and out of the garage?
93. How do you understand the underlined sentence “We’re watching over each other now just like in the painting”?

Can plants learn and remember? Joana of the University of Western Australia thinks so.
According to an article published in a magazine, Joana and her team did some tests on mimosa, a plant. As we all know, its leaves close quickly when you touch them.
In the experiment, they planted 56 mimosas in different pots. Then they dropped some water from a height of 15 centermeters. At first, each time they dropped water on mimosa, the plants closed their leaves. But in the end, the plants didn’t close their leaves at all. It seemed that these plants of mimosa learned that the small drop wouldn’t harm them.
Four weeks later, the team dropped water on the same plants. Surprisingly, the plants still didn’t close their leaves. Did they remember their lesson before?
Joana isn’t sure how plants learn and remember—plants don’t have brains after all. But she thinks that they may learn and remember with some parts of their body, she told the magazine.
