2．Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously．Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother．He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father．
"Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer．"Jason said，"He told us not to touch it．"
"He won't find out．"Mark said，"I'll just have a quick look and shut it down．"
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment．But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him．
It was a strange-looking machine-one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked．"It's an experimental model，"his father had explained，"so don't touch it under any circumstances．"But his warning only served to make Mark more curious．Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch．The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen："SPACE TRANSPORTER．"
"Yes!"Mark cried excitedly，"It's a computer game．I knew it!Dad's only been pretending to work．He's really been playing games instead．"A new message appeared on the screen：
ENTER NAMES
VOYAGER 1：…VOYAGER 2：…
Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names．
INPUT ACCEPTED．START TRANSPORT PROGRAM．AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED（自动回收程序已启动）
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume．
"I think we'd better shut it off，Mark，"Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch．He was really frightened．
But his hand never reached the switch．A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow （光芒），until they themselves seemed to be glowing．Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life．And the boys were no longer there．On the screen，the letters changed．
TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．DESTINATION：MARS．RETRIEVE DATE：2025．

1．Do you know what a castle is？A castle is a building special to Europe．Castles were built in the Middle Ages by king and other powerful people who live in．Castles were used by people to protect themselves from their enemies．They are big buildings made form stone and wood．
Today there are still castles all over Europe．Some are in ruins．But some built later are still in good repair and used even today．One example is Windsor Castle，which is a home to the British queen．It is in the country or Berkshire，not far from London．
Castles have walls around them．In the old days，soldiers would stand on the walls to guard the people in the castle．If enemies came they would shoot arrows and throw stones at them．Castles also had moats．A moat is a river around the wall that makes it difficult for enemies to get in．It could be either dry or filled with water．
Other people from younger countries love European castles．In the US there are rich people who have brought broken parts of castles to their country and rebuilt them．And some people build"replica"castles---modern copies of Castle．
You probably know the Disneyland Castle in California，US．But did you know it is based on a famous castle in Germany built by King LudwigⅡof Bavaria？

56．Which of the following is TRUE about the castle？D
A．It is a special American building．
B．It is made from stone and paper．
C．Only king used to live in it．
D．People used it to protect themselves．

58．According to the passage we can know thatC．
A．there are castles only in some European countries now
B．in the US，there used to be castles in the Middle Ages
C．in the US，the people rebuilt the old castles or build the modern ones

20．The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep，but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep．
Charles Czeisler，a professor at Harvard Medical School，and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment．For five days in a row，the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep．Their sleep patterns were monitored all night．Before and after each trial period，the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin（褪黑激素）was in their blood at any given time．
When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books，they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning．People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights，and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion（分泌）was delayed by an hour and a half．
The researchers conclude in today's journal article that gives the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents，more research into the"long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed．"Czeisler and colleagues go on，in the research paper，to note"Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk．"
However，software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day，and there are also glasses that are made to filter（过滤）short wavelengths．While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users，it needs more research．
32．In Charles Czeisler's experiment，all the subjects were asked toB．
A．sit in a row and receive the strict tests
B．have their sleep patterns observed all night
C．read a paper book and an iPad at the same time

I．remove the blue light from your devices completely
J．help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength
K．weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading
L．be used in all the e-things widely and safely
35．What's this passage mainly about？A
M．No e-reading in bed before sleep
B．New software for night e-readers
C．Wrong behaviors before bedtime
D．No games on iPad in bed．

19．Pilates，yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy．There is，however，a more humbleexercise that might not be so attractive，but has all benefits-walking．
Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains，"What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level．Plus，it's good for your heart，your head and your wallet．"
A recent report details the health benefits of walking．The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week，recommended by the UK's chief medical officer，could save 37，000 lives each year．Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running．They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%，while running reduced it by 4.5%．And there is even more good news：30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily，according to research by Oregon State University．The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day．
The sooner you get started，the sooner you will notice the differences in your mind and body．
So，go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space．

17．Personal money-management website Mint．com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards-possibly starting as young as middle school．The website says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the chance to teach them some valuable lessons．
It's absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly．But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise this is questionable．
Yes，credit cards are a teaching tool，but it's the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching，not the piece of plastic．Sit down with your child-here we are referring to teens and walk them through your credit card statements．Point out important things like the due date，late fee warning，and APR （年贷款利率）．
If you have good credit，adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable moments．Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment．
Since the card is still in your name，you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they're not able to handle the responsibility．
Another option is to set them up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card （借记卡）．Unlike credit card，the debit card has no overdraft （透支） function．
Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank account．If the account is empty，the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register．
59．Why does Mint．com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards？B

A．it contains detailed financial information on the card surface

A．To teach them to be responsible credit card users．
B．To help them pay close attention to their bank account．
C．To avoid extremely high overdraft fees．
D．To encourage them to share household expenses．
