14．Children today would rather read，do housework or even do homework than play outside---and they get out half as much as their parents did when they were young．
According to a UK study，those growing up during the 1970s and 1980s enjoying more than two hours of outdoor activities each weekday，and nine hours on weekends-whatever the weather is．But their children play outside for just over one hour each weekday，and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays．
So，the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up 30minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors．
The Wild Network，born on September 25，2013，is joined by more than 300organizations，large or small．It tries to attract children away from television and computer screen and into woods and parks．
It is the biggest ever activity to reconnect children with nature and outdoor activities，and it plans to help improve children's health．
Suggestions on how to get more time in nature including collecting fruits，camping，watching autumn colour on trees and so on．
This is not the first time the message of less screen，more play has been brought up．Children in the 1980s were encouraged to do the same by BBC TV show Why Don't You，which encouraged children to"turn off your TV set，and go to do something less boring instead"．

12．If you go to a fast food restaurant，you will probably see a lot of teenagers（青少年）．Today，many teenagers are overweight，and some of this is because of their bad eating habits．Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat，oil，salt，and sugar．People often call this kind of food"junk food"．

11．It's 10：30pm and getting late．But the Beijing Sanlian Taofen Bookstore is still shining brightly．Hundreds of people are staying inside for one thing：to read!
Earlier this month，the Sanlian Taofen Bookstore started a trial（试运行） to run 24hours a day．If everything goes well，it will become the first 24-hour bookstore in Beijing．

"There is no other choice to replace the touch of different qualities of paper and the smell of print，"Qian Xiaohua，the founder of Librairie Avant-Garde（先锋书店） in Nanjing told Xinhua．
It's true．A great bookstore can encourage people to read in many ways．
Some attract readers with their huge stock（库存） of literature．Foyles in the UK was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest bookshop in terms of shelf area （50km）．You can find books with 56subjects from fiction（小说） to law and philosophy at its flagship store（旗舰店）．Foyles also offers coffee and desserts to readers．
Other bookstores make themselves a cultural hub by holding lots of reading-related activities．Eslite Bookstore（诚品书店），a well-known 24-hour bookstore in Taiwan provides activities including talks with famous writers as well as holding exhibitions．Their topics range from literature and arts to opera and the environment．At Eslite，people not only read but also socialize（社交） and care about broader issues．
In many countries，secondhand bookstores have made reading more available to everyone．Strand Bookstore in the US sells used books for﹩2-3（12-18yuan） each．It helps to keep old books being read and make reading cheaper．Sometimes you can find very old，rare（罕见的） or simply out-of-print books at Strand，fo r example，a Shakespeare book that was published in 1632．The book is worth﹩125，000（about 778，000 yuan）!How many books do people around the world read a year？According to UNESCO，a Russian reads 55books a year，an American reads 21and a Japanese reads17．How about China？According to China people read just 4.39books on average per year，which is 15.38minutes of reading per day．
Do you think bookstores are just square buildings with bookshelves？In facts，they can be more diverse（多变的） and colorful．Here are two world's funny bookstores．
Selexyz Dominicanen，the Netherlands with three-story steel bookshelves is a heaven of books which used to be an 800-year-old church．When you read at the top of the shelf，you can enjoy the 14th-century ceiling（房顶） paintings．Bart's Books，US is a bookstore that you can enjoy the sunshine while reading books．Because the bookshelves face the street．

Here are some ways that can help people remember names．
※Repeat the person's name loud at least three times while you talk together．For example，instead of saying"Nice to meet you．"say"Nice to meet you，Jack （for Sue or whatever the person's name is）．"Instead of saying"Where do you live？"you can say"Where do you live，Jack？"

※Write the name down （with a little information about the person） as soon as possible．
There are other ways which may seem a little strange．However，try them．
※Think of a story using the person's name．For example，think to yourself，"Jack has a nice jacket．"Imagine Jack in a nice jacket．
※Think of a rhyme（押韵）for the person's name．For example，think to yourself，"Jack would look nice in black．"Imagine Jack wearing black clothes．

48、Technology has become a necessary and important part of our lives．It has changed our lives greatly．In many ways，it makes life more convenient for us：we can send messages quickly through the Internet，cook meals in a few minutes in a microwave，and book train tickets online instead of walking to the station．However，in our increasingly technology-driven world，have we become  addicted to technology？
Not too long ago，many children enjoyed reading a good book in their spare time．Nowadays，teenagers are more likely to be seen playing video games or watching television．Some people even say they can't go without watching their favourite TV programme．
Similarly，sending letters has become a thing of the past．It has been replaced by email，immediate messaging and other social media （媒体）．I think this is a huge shame； for me，there's nothing better than receiving a letter in the post．It shows someone has taken the time to sit down and write something； this is much more private than a conversation online．And for some people，especially the old，new ways of communication aren't so easy to use．I often send letters and postcards to my grandma to tell her about my life in France．
The presence of social media has，in some ways，turned us into anti-social beings．Instead of meeting up with friends and seeing them face to face，we now spend a lot of lime communicating online．Although online communication has its advantages-especially，enabling us to keep in touch with loved ones in different countries，we shouldn't forget the value of real-life human interaction．It is，after all，in our nature to socialize with others！
Admittedly （诚然），I spend a lot of time using technology．I depend on the Internet and my laptop to plan lessons for my classes．I use wifi on my phone to send messages via apps such as Viber and Snapchal．Even so，when I'm on holiday it is nice to turn it all off and have a break．Taking a break from technology is setting yourself free．

48．The phrase"addicted to"in Paragraph 1probably means""．C
A．skillful at    B．interested in
C．dependent on   D．disappointed at
49．What does the writer think of sending letters？D
A．It wastes a lot of time and energy．
B．It's something out-of-date and shameful．
C．It's a better way to communicate with relatives．
D．It's a more personal and caring way of communication．
50．From Paragraph 4we know that the writer thinks．B
A．social media makes people separated and lonely
B．it's important for people to communicate face to face
C．people have better skills in communication because of social media
D．online communication has more advantages than real-life communication
51．What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage？B
A．To direct people to spend free time properly．
B．To remind people to make reasonable use of technology．
C．To encourage people to take full advantage of social media．
D．To advise people to communicate with each other more often．

5．Bashert is a gentle，golden dog．In her mind，there is no human problem so big she can't lick （舔） better．When her owner is sad，she licks him to make him happy．When her owner feels upset，she licks him again to encourage him．
"When I go to camp，I miss Bashert a lot，"Bashert's owner Aaron Richards，a 14-year-old boy in the US，told the New York Times．
Animals like Bashert play an important part in people's lives．Whether it is a dog，a cat or a goldfish，people always enjoy their companionship （陪伴）．But do you know that people also love animals for other reasons？
When staying with animals，people can relax．Compared to the human world，the animal world seems to be simpler．People don't need to worry about being judged by words or behaviors．For children，they can forget grades and class performance．What they feel is warmth and acceptance without any conditions．
Animals，especially pets，also teach people to learn responsibility．Besides feeding and cleaning them，you also need to care for them．When they are sick，take them to an animal hospital．When they feel lonely，just play with them for a while．When they get old，you should spend time with them and let them know that you will always love them．Such a caring heart also tells you to treat people in a nice way．Then，you will find yourself a much beloved person．

61．What does Bashert do when her owner is sad？She licks her owner．
