7．Sam Martin，24，from Belfast
    I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly．I certainly don't enjoy shopping．It doesn't matter when I shop---I probably won't buy gifts that people will want anyway．I just look at what's for sale and choose from whatever is there．I am never disappointed because I never have any idea what to buy anyone before I get to the shop，and I don't care about getting it at the best price．
Lucy Collins，34，from Liverpool
I've always finished all my shopping by the middle of August．I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford to．I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as possible at less than the full price．This year，I've spent￡230 and saved￡695 on the prices．
I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year．I also like knowing I've bought presents that people will enjoy，rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve．
Frankie Bircham，31，from Hertfordshire
I've always finished shopping by the end of September．I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want---I don't like"Oh，that'll do"．I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I'm getting the best possible deal．It's cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don't like when it arrives．
Andi Euridge，40，from London

11．You arrive on time at the Smith's house to babysit three-year-old Max．When Mrs．Smith invites you into the house，you find Max sitting on the floor with an iPad．You look around for a book，and then you realize the iPad is teaching him how to read through a series of songs and games．Mrs．Smith looks as though she couldn't be prouder of her son for playing such educational games．
Technology is becoming more important in our everyday life．From playing a game to asking Sir for directions to a restaurant，we are depending heavily on our handheld device．Companies such as Fisher-Price and Open Solutions are making apps such as"Laugh and Learn"，"Baby Hear and Read"and"Baby's First Puzzle"These apps are marketed to parents and their babies．Some companies say that their apps will help the baby learn to read while others promise skills such as identifying shapes and sounds．Many parents say that these games have helped their children a lot．
Recently the campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood，a Boston-based group，has been accusing companies，who make these supposedly educational games，of false advertising．The campaign believes that these games are doing very little to improve the education of young children．
"What babies need for healthy brain development is active play，hand-on creative play and face-to-face interaction．"says Susan Linn，the group's director．This means that when you are babysitting little Max，you should play board games with him or games that require him to use his own imagination．This will help him to learn not only skills that the games teach him，but he will learn social skills．The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with Linn，discouraging any electronic time for babies under 2，while older children should be limited to one to two hours a day．

21．We can learn that many parents think the apps such as"Laugh and Learn"areD．
A．dull to use            B．complex to operate
C．expensive to buy       D．beneficial to possess
22．Which of the following may Susan Linn agree with？C
A．The iPad will soon take the place of babysitters．
B．Baby's First Puzzle is a good choice for parents．
C．Babies should stay away from these learning apps．
D．The apps from Fisher-Price can teach children a lot．
23．What a babysitter really needs to do is toC．
A．buy more educational apps from markets
B．turn to Commercial-Free Childhood for help
C．create more activities that children can take part in
D．encourage more kids to discover more electronic games
24．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？B
A．Fun educational apps for education
B．Learning apps：Do they really help？
C．Is modern technology improving our lives？

7．Sleepless in Seattle？Hardly．West Virginia is where people are really staying awake，according to the first government study to monitor state-by-state differences in sleeplessness．West Virginians'lack of sleep was about double the national rate，perhaps a side effect of health problems such as obesity（肥胖），experts said．
Nearly 1 in 5 West Virginians said they did not get a single good night's sleep in the previous month．The national average was about 1 in 10，according to a federal health survey．Tennessee，Kentucky and Oklahoma also were notably above average with nearly 1 in 7 people reporting in a lack of sleep．In contrast，North Dakota was below average，with only 1 in 13 reporting that degree of sleeplessness．Health officials do not know the exact reasons for the differences．
In the survey，people weren't required to answer the question why they were not able to get enough rest or sleep．But experts noted several possible explanations：West Virginia ranks at or near the bottom of the nation in several important measurements of health，including obesity，smoking，heart disease and the proportion of adults with disabilities．
Studies have increasingly found that sleeping problems often occurred among people with certain health problems，including obesity．"You would expect to see poorer sleep within a chronically （慢性地） diseased population，"noted Dr Ronald Chervin，a sleep disorders expert in University of Michigan．
Financial stress and work shifts（倒班）can play roles in sleeplessness，too，Chervin added．He suggested those may be contributing factors in West Virginia，an economically depressed state with tens of thousands of people working in coal mining．
The report was based on results of an annual telephone survey of more than 400，000 Americans，including at least 3，900 in each state．The survey did not include people who use only cellphones．
