• 3．Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media.In the UK，the over-55s are joining social media sites in increasing numbers，meaning that they will soon be the second biggest user group of these sites，with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
     Sheila，aged 59，says， "I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing，as my daughter posts videos and photos of them.It's a much better way to see what they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post.That's how we did it when I was a child，but I think I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did."
     Interestingly，Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use social media sites themselves.Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the sites - only 2.2 million users are under 17 - but they're not going far from their smartphones.Chloe，aged 15，even sleeps with her phone." It's my alarm clock，so I have to，" she says." I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up."
     Unlike her grandmother's generation，Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life.Sheila，on the other hand，has made contact with old friends from school that she has not heard from in forty years." We use social media sites to arrange to meet all over the country，" she says."They have changed my social life completely."
     Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone addiction as their parents were the early users of smartphones.Peter，38 and a father of two teenagers，reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. "I was always connected and I felt like I was always working." he says. "How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself？" Thus，in the evenings and at weekends，he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make emergency calls and send text messages. "I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies，but the important thing is that I'm setting a better example for my kids and spending more quality time with them."
  
  （1）How does Sheila，aged 59，feel about social media？

  
  A．Satisfied
  B．Worried
  C．Excited
  D．Disappointed
  （2）From Paragraph 3，we can see that children under 17 in the UK

  .
  A．tend to use their smartphones less
  B．a(chǎn)re less interested in social media sites
  C．like to interact with their parents online
  D．spend more time with their friends in real life
  （3）Why does Peter use an old-style mobile phone in the evenings and at weekends？

  
  A．He needs to make an emergency call.
  B．He thinks it is convenient to do so.
  C．He wants to be cut off from the world.
  D．He tries to be a model for his kids.
  （4）What does the passage mainly talk about？

  
  A．The elder generation on social media.
  B．Different online habits across generations.
  C．Good habits of using smartphones and social media.
  D．How to keep kids away from smartphones and social media.

• 4．"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy．" But now scientists have given us another warning：too much play with smartphones or computers makes you dull too．
     "Many focus on the benefits of digital devices（設(shè)備） in education but ignore the costs，" said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California， "losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs．"Greenfield and her research team did an experiment．They worked with 105 children who spend about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day．The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy，sad，angry or scared．Then，half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp．There they had no smartphones，TV，or computers．The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual．Five days later，all the children took the test again．
     Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp．But the other group of students didn't show much improvement．The study is not perfect in some ways，said the researchers．But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us．
      "Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction．"said Professor Taylor，a professor at the University of San Francisco．
     Researchers talked to 2，000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently．
     The results were surprising：Their children could use a tablet （平板電腦） （59%）and work a mobile phone （57%） more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces（鞋帶） （53%）!So，spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend，and not a member of what the Daily Mail called "Generation Helpless"．
  
  （1）According to Professor Greenfield，using digital media in education leads to

  ．
  A．being in bad terms with family members
  B．making more mistakes when taking exams
  C．failing to relate to other people's emotions
  D．falling far behind others in all schoolwork
  （2）Scientists think the results of Greenfield's experiment

  ．
  A．a(chǎn)re far from perfect
  B．a(chǎn)re alarming for people
  C．a(chǎn)re quite surprising
  D．need to be improved
  （3）What can we know from the text？

  
  A．Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment．
  B．Too much play with digital devices raised some worries．
  C．Students living without screens did much better in studies．
  D．Most of the UK children couldn't tie their shoe laces．
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Screens harm emotions
  B．Here comes a digital world!
  C．Stay away from the Internet
  D．How people become addicted？

• 5．Do you like to shop online？ （1）

  Maybe you like to do both these things.Smart shoppers know how to use different methods to get the best price.
     One common shopper strategy is "showrooming." This means that customers go into a store，look at the product，talk to a salesperson，and then use their smartphones or other mobile devices to find a better price. "Reverse showrooming" is another strategy. （2）

  One thing is for certain：shoppers are now using many strategies to get the best price.
     The number of online shoppers is rising，but not as fast as retailers （零售商） first thought.People still like to go into stores.Teens especially prefer to shop at the shopping center.（3）

  
     In order to keep customers coming into stores，managers need to train salespeople well.In-store shoppers want salespeople to give them a lot of attention，be polite，and know a lot about the product.
     （4）

  At the top of the list are electronic products.It's easy to research these products and compare prices online.
     However，online shopping doesn't work for every product.People prefer to shop for food in a store.（5）

  But you still need to drive the car.If you're buying a mattress （床墊），online reviews can't tell you if it will be comfortable for jye.ai.You still need to go into the store and lie on it.
  
  A.What products do shoppers like to buy online？
  B.With online shopping，you can't try before you buy.
  C.Usually the products we find online have better prices.
  D.Or do you prefer to go into a store and look at a product？
  E.If you're buying a new car，you can research prices online.
  F.Shopping for them is not about finding the best price；it's a social experience.
  G.Customers first go online to do research and then go into a store to get the product.
