19．Many people likedecorating （装饰） their new houses before moving into them．

分析 许多人喜欢在搬进新房子前先装饰它们．

解答 答案decorating
考查动名词．根据所给的汉语提示"装饰"和空前的like，可知此处应用动词的动名词形式，like doing sth．意为"喜欢做某事"，表示笼统的概念，decorate意为"装饰"，故填decorating．

点评 动词是中学英语的重要语法，解题时首先要根据语境和句子结构的需要来推断动词的形式，然后根据句意和所给的汉语提示写出正确答案．

9．It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more．But in order to work up the desire to rewrite，it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage．
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers'opinions．One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we're often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down．Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work．
Different from popular belief，we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas （known as"mentalese"），and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language．But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry （织锦），writing can only be composed one thread（思路） at a time．Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple．It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds．
When people write as if some strict critics are looking over their shoulder，they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start．Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem．When writing we should have two different minds．At the first stage，we should see every idea，as well as the words we use to express it，as wonderful and worth putting down．It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses．
33．What do we learn from the text about those famous writers？C
A．They often regret writing poor works
B．Some of them write surprisingly much．
C．Many of them hate reading their own works
D．They are happy to review the publishers'opinions．
34．What do people generally believe about the way human minds work？A
A．People think in words and sentences．
B．Human ideas are translated into symbols
C．People think by connecting threads of ideas．
D．Human thoughts are expressed through pictures．
35．What can we conclude from the text？D
A．Most people believe we think in symbols．
B．Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable．
C．The writers and critics can never reach an agreement．
D．Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work．
10．我们希望警醒人们，让他们意识到许多吸烟者过早地死于与吸烟有关的疾病．

4．It's Time to Put it Away
Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it．Don't be addicted to it．Put your phone away，OK？
1．Cyber Sickness
Also called"digital motion sickness"，symptoms that range from headaches to woozy feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed video on your screen．（36）BYour sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs．When those inputs don't agree，that's when you feel dizziness and sickness．
2．Text Claw
It is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction felt in the fingers，wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use．（37）FSo if you're always on your phone，it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms．
3．Eye Strain（疲劳）
Do you stare at a screen for hours on end？If you're reading this，you very well might suffer eye strain．（38）GStaring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes，headaches and tiredness，which can decrease your productivity．Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20minutes．
4．Text Next
Similar to the claw，text neck-discomfort in the neck and spine---happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone．（39）D．Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you're on your phone---and bending it back to an upright position---can help reduce the risk of text neck．
5．Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking．While focused on the cyber world，many of us can lose reality of the physical one．Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology，and the risks are scary．（40）E．
A．We should taking breaks for a walk
B．The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs
C．Remember that pedestrian safety is more important than smart phone
D．The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age
E．To avoid injury or worse，put your phone away until you've reached a safe spot
F．Any specific motor activity can cause pain in tendons（筋）and muscles when done repeatedly
G．Any activity that requires active use of your eyes-driving and reading included-can cause eye tiredness．

8．By May，after three months，I had lost 22pounds and reached my goal of 115pounds．My friends would say"Alice，you look great!"or"How did you lose so much weight？"Those compliments made me feel good and confident．
Soon I dropped to 110pounds．A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting，because I was starting to look sick．They brought me a present-a bag of chocolates，which I later gave to my sister．My mom would come to my room，with tears in her eyes，and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop．My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school，telling me that  it would do serious harm to my body．
By mid-June，when school was coming to an end，I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds．All of a sudden，I knew I had to do something．I guessed the number itself scared me．I recalled my doctor．He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying．I knew I was putting my life at risk，but for what？To make those who love me worried？Was it worthwhile to be thin？
Now I realize that models in magazines，TV and movies are not realistic．The price to pay for the"perfect body"is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder．And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are．

11．Many parents sometimes feel they resemble an ATM machine to their children．They want to ask for advice about giving pocket money to their children．So how much is appropriate？（16）CYou can start by listing items they want to spend their pocket money on．This exercise will vary depending on the child's age but it is a good guide to help you to decide what amount is appropriate．
 It is important that you don't hand out extra money throughout the week．This will help the child to budge and manage their spending．（17）BHowever，leaving them to do without anything will encourage them to manage their pocket money more carefully the next time．
As part of the pocket money agreement，you might list the items that the child must complete in order to"earn"the pocket money．（18）EAt least one task should be for the general household．The same is true for teenagers．They are older and can take on more responsibilities so this should be reflected in the tasks they are assigned．（19）F No matter how difficult it is for you to not give the pocket money if the agreed tasks are not completed，you must stick to the agreement．Remember，you are teaching your child basic skills in managing money and earning rewards．These skills will be of great benefit to your child throughout their life!
Finally，when it comes to teenagers，keep a close watch on how they are managing their money．If your teenager is using too much of their pocket money too quickly，talk to them about it．（20）DThis way，you can be conscious that the money is not being used for drink or worse，drugs．

A．They want to have what their peers have．
B．It may be hard to refuse to give them more money．
C．It is best to get the child involved in agreeing the amount with you．
D．You need to keep a close check on what the money is being spent on．
E．The task should be appropriate to their age in terms of safety and their ability．
F．As with all parenting situations，the golden rule is that you must follow through．
G．The amount saved can be used to purchase treats such as sweets or a magazine．
