   Being able to multitask―doing several things at the same time―is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.

What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品)as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.

Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they cat at the family table.

Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具)on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response(反应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.

Margaret,married with two small children,has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner,cleaning offices in a big building.

She trained as a nurse ,but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill.“I would have liked to go back to it ,but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me,as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”

So she works as a cleaner instead,from 9 p.m.till 6 a.m.five nights a week for just £ 90,before tax and insurance.“It’s better than it was last year,but I still think that people who work‘unsocial hours’should get a bit extra.”

The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty to the children,but very little of her husband.However,she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.

Her work isn’t physically very hard,but it’s not exactly pleasant,either.“I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”

The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all, Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three, “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself-and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write, ” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing , but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”

A.they never clean their offices

B.they look down upon cleaners

C.they never do their work carefully

D.they always make a mess in their offices

63.When at work, Margaret feels          

A.light-hearted because of her fellow workers

C.tired because of the heavy workload

D.bored because time passes slowly

A.help care for her children

B.regret what they had said

C.show sympathy for her

Monarch Butterflies

 One of the last West Coast homes of the Monarch butterfly,a type of insect(昆虫),may soon disappear.Strangely,it is in a town that calls itself Butterfly U.S.A,Pacific Grove, California.

 The  town  of Pacific Grove loves the butterflies.Every year they have a parade(游行)and hundreds of children dress up as butterflies.Monarch butterflies are the town mascot.Tourism is very important,and many people come to see the butterflies.The butterflies are good for the development of the town.

 In 1981 there were so many butterflies it looked like it was raining butterflies.Tens of thousands of Monarchs stayed on tree branches near Pacific Grove.Now there are not so many.

The building goes on a little bit at a time,and you don’t notice it day by day.Over time,you can see that there has been a lot of development.As new buildings go up,many trees are cut down.

This reduces the natural homes for the butterflies.

Monarchs travel hundreds of miles each year,returning to the same woods,often to the same trees.The female Monarchs need milkweed to lay their eggs;the males will follow the females.

Millions of Monarchs have traveled regularly along the same path for thousands of years.They start their trip in the mountains of Mexico and travel to the middle part of America.If the woods where the butterflies live are destroyed,the whole species(物种)could be lost.There have been Monarch butterflies along the coast of California for as long as man can remember,but no one is sure how much longer they will last.
