WHAT happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers.
Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting (骗过) his high school's monitoring system.This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life.
While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison.There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears.
When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many "security measures" in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen.
He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地).
The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.

You maybe surprised to learn that one of the best steps you can take to protect your health is to step outside and spend some time in the grass, dirt and water.

       Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature , and now scientists are starting to catch up.According to research in recent years, just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients'  recovery and reduce illness rates among office workers.Also, exposure (曝露)to wildlife, horseback riding, hiking, camping and farms can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children.

       Much of this type of research is focusing on children, and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature.

       Obesity (肥胖).Rates of childhood obesity have grown sharply in recent years, and this is partly because of reduced outdoor activity time.Increasing the time students spend learning about nature, both in and outside the classroom, would help solve this problem.Such lessons are often more attractive for students and often lead them to become more active outside.

       Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)  (注意力缺失症).Exposure to ordinary natural settings (环境) in the course of common after-school and weekend activities may be effective in reducing attention deficit symptoms in children.Participation in green activities —such as nature walks—helped ADHD patients from a wide range of backgrounds to stay focused and complete tasks.

       Stress.Access to nature, even houseplants, can help children cope with stress.

       Depression  and  seasonal  emotional  disorder.Major  depression requires medical treatment, but physical activity, especially outdoors, can help ease symptoms.For your average case of winter blues, experts suggest spending time outside every day and, if possible, taking the family to a sunny vacation spot in mid-winter.

       Experts emphasize that you needn' t go to wilderness preserves to enjoy nature' s benefits—simply walking in a city park or growing in a rooftop garden can make a difference.

1.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that____.

       A.ancient people were not familiar with the healing power of nature.

       B.modern people are not familiar with the healing power of nature.

       C.the healing power of nature works better on children.

       D.the healing power of nature works better on office workers.

2.According to Para.4, lessons about nature_____.

       A.should engage parents in them

       B.should take place outdoors

       C.are used widely at schools

       D.are liked by students

3.Exposure to green areas in neighborhoods can_____.

       A.improve children' s skills at learning

       B.help reduce ADHD symptoms

       C.treat major depression

       D.cure winter blues

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

       A.You can only enjoy nature's benefits in the wilderness.
