【題目】 Texting(發(fā)信息) while driving is against the law in 47 states. But what about texting while walking? A 2018 study reported that more than 2, 500 people in the US ended up in hospitals resulting from using a mobile device(設(shè)備) while walking.

Hawaii passed a law making it illegal(違法的) to text or look down at a mobile device while crossing the street, it is the first state with a law like this. Do people think more places should accept such a law? The LA Times did a survey. Here are some replies they received.

Rena Jose, 26, New York

Which is more important, texting or safety? If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or traffic lights turn red. It can be very dangerous. For example, in Japan, one person fell into a lake and another got her leg stuck in a hole, because both had their mind on their phone. We should make texting while crossing the street illegal in more cities.

Andy Selvam, 55, California

People do many things that cause injury to themselves but are not illegal, such as climbing mountains, driving cars, swimming and so on. People might get hurt from texting and walking if they're not paying attention. But I still think they should have a choice.

Bob Madigan, 45, Oregon

As humans, we can make our own decisions. I'm not saying it's safe, but we don't need the government to babysit us. If we want to learn to make smart decisions, the government needs to stop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country.

Andrew Black, 34, Alaska

This law is a good idea—compare this protection with seat belts. If this law is passed all over the USA, people will be worried. But is there really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be safe and good for all Americans.

【1】The LA Times did the survey most probably to ________.

A.win the hearts of more readers

B.encourage more states to pass the law

C.ask readers if they agree with texting while driving

D.learn about people's opinions on texting while walking

【2】In Rena's reply, she showed the danger of texting while walking by ________.

A.using numbersB.giving examplesC.asking questionsD.telling stories

【3】Which of the following is Andrew Black's opinion?

A.Texting is more important than safety.B.The law would help to keep Americans safe.

C.It's easy to please everyone when passing a law.D.Whether to text or not while walking is people's own choice.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

Do you remember when you wrote a letter last time? If the answer is “not recently”, don’t worry. You are not a 【1】 .

A survey of 1,000 teenagers around the world done by a French company BIC found that a third of today’s teenagers had never written a letter, half had not written a thank-you letter, and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card. In fact, 58 percent of teenagers c【2】 that handwriting was “too slow” and 17 percent believed it was “outdated”.

These results have caused w【3】that the art of handwriting may one day die out.

“Hand-writing” is one of the most c【4】 art forms we have and should be given the same importance as other art form such as painting, or photography,” Jonathan Skyrme, general manager at BIC UK & Ireland, told the Daily Mail.

The New York Times once explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that o【5】messages can never do. “When you get an email, you can never be sure that you are the o 【6】 person to have received it -- or even that it was written by the person who sent it,” said the newspaper.

As US author Simon Garfield once wrote, “Emails are a poke（蜻蜓點(diǎn)水）, but letters are a loving touch.” So imagine the powerful message you send when you actually write out your thought by hand, buy a stamp, take it to a mailbox, and wait days for your special s【7】to receive it.

【題目】 For Miller, an 80-year-old man, it’s a chance of a lifetime. Miller is a part of a group of around 60 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.

About this journey, he says: “I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child. But now I finally have a chance to experience it.”

The two-month bus journey will take the group through Germany, Russia and other 4 European countries. They will then enter China from the country’s western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for them.

An increasing number of people, not only from German-speaking countries, have been joining us,” says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours.

Almost 26 million foreigners travelled to China in 2015, and about 5 million of them were from Europe. Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai and the Yangtze River are traditional Chinese travel destinations for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Miller says: “Compared with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts me more.”

【題目】 Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness and worry. Anxiety can show up in a lot of ways. For example, trouble concentrating（專(zhuān)心）, an upset stomach or sleeplessness. And anxiety can be one of the most serious challenges that students face today. Yet, it can also be one of the most hidden and unknown.

Perhaps you've seen the increase in anxiety in your classroom and school, maybe around testing seasons, or even your classmates experiencing hurt. You know anxiety is more than just“worries”. Anxiety can influence classroom performance just as much as any other learning disability.

According to the Child Mind Institute, health-care providers have seen a 17 percent increase of anxiety in children over the past 10 years. But there aren't many more students seeking help and care. In fact, less than one percent of students will seek anxiety treatment.

Students who are worried and anxious aren't doing it on purpose. The nervous system acts automatically（自動(dòng)地）, especially when it comes to worry. That's why phrases like "just relax" or "calm down" aren't helpful. But with practice, students can learn to slow down their anxious brains. Here are two helpful suggestions.

Firstly, practice deep breaths. When people slow down their breathing, they slow down their brain. Slow, deep breaths are the key. It works every time.

Secondly, take a break and go outside. Being out in nature can also calm an anxious brain. Sometimes just a change of scenery is what makes the difference. Breathing the cool air or making time to notice singing birds can also calm an overactive worrier. As students, you can observe the environment carefully. How many different kinds of trees do you see? How many different bird songs do you hear? How many different colors are in the grass? That can help you turn the focus away from your worries.

Don't set anxiety up as something you want to get rid of. It's a part of your life, and it will not go away completely. What you should do is to face it bravely and learn to deal with it.

【1】According to the writer, __________ can help students turn the focus away from their worries.

A.getting hurtB.going to the park

C.having a testD.having less sleep

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Half of the students want to have good anxiety treatment.

B.Students can get rid of their anxiety by relaxing themselves.

C.Students can practice slow and deep breaths to reduce anxiety.

D.Students need to have anxiety to help them get good test marks.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Creating anxiety.B.Increasing anxiety.

C.Experiencing anxiety.D.Dealing with anxiety.
