  On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981.They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet(芭蕾舞).Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997:boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time.All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.

  “Children are affected by the same time crunch(危机)that affects their parents, ” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable.A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home.Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively.In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.

  All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids.“Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself, ” says T.Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School.Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.

  The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television.But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news.If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading.Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading.Let’s face it, Who’s got the time?

(1)

By mentioning “the same time crunch”(Line 1, Para.2)Sandra Hofferth means ________.

[  ]

A.

children have little time to play with their parents

B.

children are not taken good care of by their working parents

C.

both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time

D.

both parents and children have trouble managing their time

(2)

According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch is ________.

[  ]

A.

quite convincing

B.

partially true

C.

totally groundless

D.

rather confusing

(3)

The author is concerned about the fact that American kids ________.

[  ]

A.

are engaged in more and more structured activities

B.

are increasingly neglected by their working mothers

C.

are spending more and more time watching TV

D.

are involved less and less in household work

(4)

We can infer from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.

extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligence

B.

most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off

C.

efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful

D.

most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children

Holding a cell phone against your ear or stalling it in your pocket may be hazardous to your health.

       This paraphrases a warning that cell phone; manufacturers include in the small print that is often tossed aside when a new phone is purchased.Apple, for example, doesn't want iP hones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, Blackberry's manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.

       If health issues arise from cell phone use, the implications are huge.Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion minutes annually - generate $109 billion for the wireless carriers.

       Devra Davis, an epidemiologist who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, "Disconnect." The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.

  Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.

  "Most cancers have multiple causes," she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.

  Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.

  Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiofrequency radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.

  Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone's speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen.

We can infer from the passage that________.

       A.Cell phone may do harm to our health if we hold it against our ear or store in our pocket

       B.Devra Davis thinks that there are many factors contributing to cancer.

       C.The increase in brain cancer in the young adults may have something to do with cell phone

       D.Children are more likely to be affected by radiation

According to the passage, how could children avoid being hurt by cell phone radiation?

       A.They can keep cell phones away from the abdomen.

       B.They can send short massage instead of making phone calls directly.

       C.They can pay more attention to the small print on the phone.

       D.They should use more advanced cell phones.

From this passage we can learn that.________.

       A.American cell phone manufacturers did not give any warning to their customers

       B.American cell phone manufacturers benefit greatly from their products

       C.Scientists have found the connection between brain cancer and ceil phone

       D.Cell phone should be banned because of the increase in brain cancer

In which column can we most probably read this passage?

       A.Advanced technology.       B.Entertainment.

       C.Science and life.            D.Celebrity.

Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s “no”.
What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No”.
Sweet and simple “no”.
Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”
Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(强制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.
Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Connecticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.” Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.
“No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
【小题1】.
The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______.

A.you can have more time to play with others
B.you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy
C.you are selfish and treat others rudely
D.you can deal with your business as you have planned
【小题2】.
When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______.
A.secret way  B.polite way
C.proud wayD.guilty way
【小题3】.
. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.
A.they say “no” at a suitable time
B.they say “no” as much as possible
C.they are afraid of saying “no”
D.they make others angry at them
【小题4】.
. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.
A.enjoys a wonderful life
B.makes a lot of money
C.faces difficulty in life  
D.forgets to say “yes” in the end
