The rise in smartphones (ÖÇÄÜÊÖ»ú) among young people may be having a direct effect on how successful they become as adults.

Research from the University of Nebraska Lincoln has discovered university students check their phones 11 times per lesson on average, and more than 80 percent believe this tech addiction is interfering with their learning.

A quarter of students across five American states also blamed poor grades in exams specifically on the fact that they used mobile devices when they should have been concentrating and revising and these grades could determine the jobs they end up going into.

Barney McCoy, an associate professor of broadcasting at the university, surveyed 777 students at six universities across five states about how they used digital devices in the classroom.

The students were from UNL, the University of Nebraska Lincoln at Omaha in Nebraska, Morningside College in Iowa, the University of North Carolina, the University of Kansas and the University of Mississippi.

Around two thirds said they used phones, tablets and laptops for £¢non-classroom purposes£¢ up to ten times during a typical university day, while 15 percent admitted this figure was closer to 30 times.

Among the top reasons why 55 percent of students checked their devices so regularly were staying connected and fighting boredom. Less than half said the devices were used for classwork.

Texting was the most popular distraction (ÓéÀÖ) technique at 86 percent, while 68 percent said they used their phones to check personal emails. Two thirds used social networks, 38 percent surfed the web and 8 percent admitted playing games when they should have been studying.

Despite eight out of ten students admitting their devices were distracting, fewer than five percent considered it to be a £¢very big£¢ distraction.

£¢I don¡¯t think students necessarily think it¡¯s a big problem,£¢ said McCoy. £¢They think it¡¯s part of their lives.£¢

1.The majority of the students think that using smartphones __________.

A. helps to improve their grades

B. contributes to their poor grades

C. has a bad effect on their study

D. determines their jobs in the future

2. How many students surveyed used digital devices for £¢non-classroom purposes£¢ about 30 times during a day?

A. About 518. B. About 116.

C. About 427. D. Less than 388.

3. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Barney McCoy surveyed 777 students at the university he works in.

B. A minority of the students said they used digital devices for classwork.

C. Around two thirds admitted they used digital devices because lessons were boring.

D. Barney McCoy doesn¡¯t think students¡¯ using digital devices is a big problem.

4.The text is most likely to be found in a section about __________.

A. successful people B. political systems

C. science and technology D. historical events

I am peter Hodes ,a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I¡¯ve done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells£¨¸Éϸ°û£©in my little box because I¡¯ve got two ice packs and that¡¯s how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(¾èÏ×Õß) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we¡¯ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time.

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: £¢Well, I¡¯m really sorry, I¡¯ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.£¢ So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: £¢In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you¡¯ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.£¢ She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for mere-routed(¸ÄµÀ)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.

For this courier job, you¡¯re consciously aware than that box you¡¯re got something that is potentially going to save somebody¡¯s life.

(2016¡¤Õã½­)A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing¡­right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists(ÐÄÀíѧ¼Ò) have argued that this £¢play£¢ is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.

Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls to the ground ¡ª and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact (Ï໥×÷ÓÃ): bowls of rice do not float in mid-air, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing this basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby¡¯s investigation and the scientist¡¯s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).

Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way¡ªthat they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn¡¯t like Dove chocolate.

Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort¡ªthe desire to explore, explain, and understand our world ¡ª is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution (½ø»¯) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive (ÈÏÖªµÄ) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it,£¢ It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.£¢

Up to 60 Shanghai maths teachers are to be brought to England to raise standards, in an exchange arranged by the Department for Education.The announcement comes as a campaign is launched to raise adult maths skills.A survey of 300 adults for the numeracy campaign found that over a third thought their level of maths had held them back.An accompanying economic analysis said that a lack of maths skills cost the UK 20 billion pounds per year.

The plan to bring 60 English-speaking maths teachers from Shanghai is an attempt to learn from a city that has been the top performance in the OECD's Pisa tests.The OECD says that children of poor families in Shanghai are on average better at maths than middle class children in the UK.The Shanghai teachers, expected to arrive from the autumn, will help share their teaching methods, support pupils who are struggling and help to train other teachers.

¡°We have some smart maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai-and other Chinese cities-has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them.¡± said education minister, Elizabeth Truss, who has recently visited Shanghai, accompanied by head teachers from England, ¡°They have a can-do attitude to maths-and I want us to match that, and their performance,¡± She stressed the economic significance of raising maths standards, for individuals and the country.'As part of our long term economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills they need to succeed in the global race.Good maths qualifications have the greatest earning potential and provide the strongest protection against unemployment,¡± said the education minister.

1.Poor maths skills have caused serious _____ consequences in England.
