Teens are not just texting, instant-messaging and surfing Facebook all day; they’re sleeping with their cell phones or laptops, too．Or rather, not sleeping．And doctors and parents, many of whom raised in an era when phones were attached to walls, are concerned．
“So many teens are having sleep issues, and parents aren’t necessarily regulating the use of the electronic devices enough,” says Margie Ryerson, a therapist．“It’s impossible to wind down and relax the body, the mind, the senses and be ready to fall asleep．”
“We all know teens don’t get enough sleep in general,” says San Francisco．“As long as parents allow teens to have these devices in their bedrooms at night, teens will be tempted（诱惑） to use them．”… Teens would socialize 24/7 if they could．
Ryerson calls it the CNN syndrome of teenhood— round-the-clock reports on breaking news about everything, from homework to wardrobe choices to ice-cream cravings．
Sleep deprivation is linked to memory and concentration problems, anxiety and depression, and moodiness．“Many people assume these problems arise directly from adolescence, which is not really true,” he says．“The real issue is sleep deprivation．Late-night texting can certainly make the situation worse．”
“The psychology behind this constant contact is certainly understandable,” Ryerson says．“It comes from wanting to avoid being left out．They won’t be considered important and significant in their peer group, if they don’t know what’s going on．If they’re on top of everything, they belong,” she says．
“What helps, at least for younger kids,” says Ryerson, “is parental involvement．If all of their friends are all able to text into the early hours of the night, it is hard for a middle or high schooler to set the limit themselves．Often they appreciate parents stepping in．”
“As parents, we want our kids to be happy, healthy and responsible,” she says, “and the most necessary requirement for achieving balance is to first take care of ourselves physically — eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep．”
小题1:According to Ryerson, it seems that ____．
| A．it is unnecessary to control teens’ using the electric devices |
| B．parents possibly don’t control teens in using the electric devices |
| C．there is no need for parents to make use of the electric devices |
| D．parents don’t learn enough how to use the electric devices |
| A．teens are affected by CNN news reports very much |
| B．teens watch news report on CNN around the clock |
| C．teens text to tell each other everything possible |
| D．teens like the news report on CNN |
| A．teens stayed up late to do homework |
| B．teens were easily anxious in character |
| C．teens didn’t have enough sleep at night |
| D．teens were going through a period of growth |
| A．To have a sense of being accepted by others． |
| B．To keep informed of what is going on in the world． |
| C．To spread important news among their group． |
| D．To reduce the pressure from parents and schools． |

Imagine that Mom and Dad have friends over, and you have to talk to adults all evening．Say the wrong thing and the parents may get mad．But, say _50_, and they"ll think you weren"t friendly．So, _51_can you talk with adults?
It"s _52_．Just ask them questions about themselves．"Many of them like to talk about what they do for a living," suggests psychologist Tim Ursiny, author of The Confidence Plan．
Kids can also talk to grown-ups about _53_．Ask what the last good movie they saw was, because people at dinner parties "_54_" when the conversation turns to movies, Ursiny says．If a grown-up is _55_ Harry Potter, it"s ok to talk about your love for Harry．It"s a safe topic, one that both grown-ups and kids can enjoy, so go ahead and talk about whether Dumbledore is really dead．
But _56_the topic of video games．"Adults don"t want to hear about your video game _57_they play it," Ursiny explains．
Adults also don"t want to hear slang．Don"t use language they don"t _58_．Ursiny says kids should learn to speak to other people in their own language．
_59_,most adults aren"t into slang, they do remember what it was like to be a kid．Ursiny recommends asking adults what school was like when they were your age．"It might be a fun discussion if you _60_your
10th-grade experience with theirs．"_61_you chat with your parents beforehand to find out which topics are
off-limits（禁区）．
Also, don"t chat about things that make your parents feel guilty．Don"t mention _62_ stuff such as how Dad has been sleeping on the couch, Ursiny says．And don"t complain that Mom has been late preparing breakfast．
Instead, Ursiny says, kids should try to put themselves in their parents" _63_．Learning how to _64_that type of understanding might help you out in the future．"The most successful people, can develop a sympathetic feeling for others," he says．

The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body language.
Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs is also a large part of body language. Extending one"s arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal and informal cases. This part of body language might date back to primary tribes（部落）.
Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands. Raising one"s hand and making a circle with his thumb（拇指）and for finger signals, that something is OK. Clasped（握紧的）hands raised above the head, a traditional picture accepted by sportsmen after winning a fight, is a display of triumph that grows out of a kind of feeling following a victory. Waving one"s hands, a speaker can make his words more powerful and vigorous（有活力的）.
Besides hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head and eyes. The leg gestures often reflect one"s attitude towards something or someone that person is with.
According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable（可靠的）way to understand one"s mind by means of gestures. Though it is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than you realized.
小题1: Which of the following is the proper title for this passage?
| A．Body Language | B．How to Communicate with the People around You |
| C．The History of Body Language | D．Gestures And Languages |
| A．hand shaking suggests that the speaker is excited |
| B．head plays a less important part in body language |
| C．actors and actresses are good at gestures |
| D．people began to use body language long long ago |
| A．Soundless and wordless. | B．Difficult to understand. |
| C．Powerful and vigorous. | D．Effective and normal |
| A．clasp their hands to announce their victory |
| B．clasp their hands to express their excited feeling |
| C．have a picture taken as soon as possible |
| D．show a sign of thankfulness |
The man leaned on his 39 who walked in front of him．He not only used her for 40 but it was obvious that he was blind．The two of them _41 as one—each needing the other to 42 in this fast-changing world．
That little example of true strength 43 my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day．Suddenly I wasn’t so 44 having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays．I had my 45 ，and I was still 46 young．
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严) and strength 47 me the entire week．My 48 wasn’t so bad after all．I had my health and a good job．I had a wonderful， 49 wife．I started to think—not only was I 50 to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple，who，_51 the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to 52 them through this world．
There are so many people out there just like that couple．My wife and I sometimes 53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a 54 feeling．Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders．We all should spend a little extra time and patience, 55 helping our elder friends．

The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail(马尾辫). She looked very grown-up. But any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong.
Mattel sold 300,000 Barbie dolls in the first year at a pri
ce of three dollars. Today, a fifty-year-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than 27,000 dollars.Barbie dolls have represented 50 different nationalities and are sold in 150 countries. Mattel says 90% of girls in the United States between the ages of three and ten own at least one Barbie doll. It says girls between the ages of three and six own an average of about 12.
Barbie also faced her share of critics. A well-known example was when women’s education groups objected to a talking Barbie doll that declared, among other things, “Math class is tough!” Mattel agreed to change it. Saudi Arabia has banned Barbie dolls. And a lawmaker in the American state of West Virginia would like to do the same. Last month, he proposed banning sales of Barbie and other dolls that influence girls to put too much importance on physical beauty.
Some people say Barbie is an unhealthy role model for young girls. Robin Gerber disagrees. She wrote a book about Barbie. She points out dolls like scientist Barbie and race car driver Barbie. She says people who criticize Barbie should tell girls the story of the businesswoman who created her. She says Ruth Handler wanted the dolls to help girls think about what they wanted to do with their lives.

French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting fi
rm Deloitte.The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business.
“Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month.
A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea.
But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one c
oncern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.”Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites
are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity.小题1:We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.
| A．over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts |
| B．the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans |
| C．80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts |
| D．less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts |
| A．they want to be eco-friendly | B．they want to  save money |
| C．it is encouraged by websites | D．it is a new fashion in Europe |
| A．a theatre ticket |
| B．a second-hand book |
| C．a nearly-new digital toaster |
| D．a box of heavily packaged chocolate |
e following statements is TRUE?| A．Old people are not open minded enough to accept second-hand gifts. |
| B．People wish to receive second-hand gifts because of the economic downturn. |
| C．Ravut’s website received a sharp decrease in visits during the Christmas holidays. |
| D．In de Monclin’s opinion, people should spend more time with friends and family during holidays |
