【题目】D

An international study of more than 13, 000 adults found that many people say modern technology has affected relations with their partners. Almost 40 percent of those questioned said their partners paid more attention to their mobile devices than to them.

The research included both old and new relationships. Thirty-three percent of those asked reported that they had to compete against a mobile device for attention on a first date.

Apparently, we have as much love for our digital devices as for the people we love. The survey found that adults spend almost equal amounts of time online at home as they do interacting directly. And a lot of married couples, friends and family members argue about time spent on mobile devices.

Rules or time limits on a device might be good, in theory. However, the survey found that 45 percent of those questioned do not set rules. Another 45 percent said they got into arguments about how much they are on their phones when spending time with loved ones. The lack of social rules about digital behavior might be the result of the newness of the issue.

Past generations did not have the technologies. In this situation, our elders know nothing. In fact, the knowledge and ability is moving towards the youngest generation thats using the technology because theyre the ones bounding forward fearlessly, and finding out what ways they can get in trouble.

That trouble may include the sharing of sensitive information. The research found nearly 30 percent of couples share passwords to social media sites. This could be a problem when relationships end.

The study advises that people step away from electronic devices to truly connect with other people. Understand the value of distancing yourself from your device and allow yourself to be engaged with that person that means the most to you.

【1】What did the study find about modern technology?

A. People depend too much on it.

【2】Whats the problem with the digital device?

【3】 What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. People disagree with limiting mobile use.

B. Rules need to be made to limit mobile use.

C. The majority of users set rules to use a device.

American Girl Is Finally Releasing Its First Boy Character Doll

American Girl has been making adorable dolls with inspiring stories for over three decades now—from Felicity to Molly to Samantha. They each come from different parts of the country, different moments in time, and in many ways, very different worlds. 1 According to the companys website, though, thats all about to change—American Girl will release its first boy character doll this Thursday.

2 And honestly, he couldnt be a more welcome addition. As for Logans backstory? Hes a drummer from Nashville, Tennessee, who plays alongside his friend Tenney Grant, a singer-songwriter.

But the real reason why Logans entrance into the collection is so significant because in his own small way, he helps break the longstanding tradition that "dolls are just for girls"—and thats huge.

Some may note that American Girl did technically introduce a boy in 2003 with the "Bitty Twins". 3 And it comes with a backstory just like the original American Girls.

4 In fact, the company will be releasing many more diverse dolls this year, including Gabriela McBride, an African American girl who manages her stutter with poetry. Z Yang, a Korean—American boy character, and later this year, a historical Hawaiian character named Nanea. 5 It is one of the original American Girl dolls.

A. His name is Logan Everett.

B. Not only girls are fond of dolls.

C. Additionally, they will be reintroducing Felicity.

D. Logans addition is actually just the frst step to vary its collection.

E. But until now, all of the dolls had one thing in common: they were girls.

F. However, Logan is the first full-sized boy character to be sold on his own.

G. Adding a boy to the lineup has been a number one request for a very long time.

How to become a better reader

Language and literacy (读写能力) are among humans’ greatest inventions. Evolving(演变) over the course of human history, languages are a reflection of our cultural and societal attitudes. Today, surrounded(包围)by social media, television, movies, and, of course, books, the ability to read and write is important to expressing one’s feelings. Most humans acquire language in early childhood and speak fluently when they are about three years old, but our continued relationship with language gives shape and meaning to our lives. 1

(1) Take it slow. Many readers feel that they read too slowly, especially compared with others. 2 The best readers are flexible(灵活的)— slowing down when needed and always have a dictionary at hand.

(2) Read aloud. When humans first began reading written words, it was unusual to read in silence. 3 Try listening to the author reading their own work you’ll be surprised to find how clearly it comes through on the page.

(3) Write. Writing and reading go hand-in-hand: how and what you read affects how and what you write, and the best readers often make the best writers. But while much can be learned from close, repeated readings, there are many pleasures to language that can only be experienced through the practice of writing. 4

(4) Tell your friends. All of the literature is essentially communication from an individual’s inner voice to an audience. 5 It’s a good way to see the world from someone else’s eyes and, in the process, carefully examine your own reaction to what you’re reading.

A. But the truth is that the faster you read, the less likely you are to understand fully what you’re reading.

B. Can you remember the first piece of writing that transported you to another world?

C. There is something magical about sharing books with friends or a book club.

D. Try writing every day for a month, and you will never read the same again.

E. Reading out loud is one of the best ways to improve your reading ability.

F. Here are 4 ways to become a better reader.

G. In no time, you’ll be appreciating novels like fine wine.
