    Many college students turn to ADHD(注意缺陷障碍) medicine during exam week, which is regarded as “smart drugs” that will help their academic(学术的) performance. The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus, they should provide the same benefit for people who don’t have the disorder.

But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence. “It’s not a smart drug which suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read,” said Lisa Weyandt, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.

To test whether this effect is real or not, researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions(一段时间) in the lab. The students took the standard 30mg ADHD drugs before one session, and a sugar pill before the other. Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart rates. “The medicine was having an effect on their brain,” Weyandt said. The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus, the researchers found.

However, students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension, reading fluency or knowledge reviews, compared to when they’d taken a sugar pill. “We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories,” she said. “That didn’t improve.”

Worse, the ADHD drug actually harms students’ memory. It’s often misused because people pull all-nighters and they’re tired, and they think it’s going to keep them awake. Maybe it does, but it’s certainly not going to help their academic work. The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s. It’s important to keep it healthy. There’s also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a student’s heart health.

1.Why do some college students take ADHD drugs?

A.To improve their sleeping. B.To get higher marks.

C.To make them feel relaxed. D.To treat brain disorder.

2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “boost” in Paragragh 2?

A.Analyze. B.Affect.

C.Improve. D.Understand.

3.What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment?

A.They became more focused.

B.Their blood pressure was reduced.

C.Their reading fluency was greatly raised.

D.They could remember better and more quickly.

4.Where can we read this text?

A.In a drug instruction. B.In a textbook.

C.In a travel magazine. D.In a news report.

Paper route

A paper route is one of the most common tried and true ways to earn money, and has been the first job for many kids over the decades.

Pros:

First, if your child rides his bicycle every morning during deliveries, he will be getting a great workout while he is earning money. Second, paper deliverers have the freedom to do their route as quickly as they want, in the order that they want; and they don’t have to dress up to do it!

Cons:

Unpredictable Weather: your child will be facing adverse(不利的) weather conditions.

Early Morning Hours: newspapers have to arrive early, many times by 5:00 in the morning. But your children might have to be up as early as 2: 00 a. m. to get the papers out on time.

Collecting Money: It can be intimidating(令人胆怯的 ) for some children to ask strangers for money.

What Kids Can Learn About Money (by doing a paper route):

Paper routes depend on punctuality of the paper delivery. Your child will learn to deliver the papers by a specified time each morning.

Family business

If you own your own business, you can hire them to work for your family business.

Pros:

Since you will be the employer, you can make changes to their schedule if you need to. In addition, your child will work for you, so you’ll always know where he is and be able to keep an eye on him.

Cons:

Variability: depending on your line of work, you may not have enough work to keep your child busy consistently.

Limited for Children: If you don’t have your own business, but like the idea, you may want to ask friends, neighbors, or relatives you know who might want to hire some additional help.

What Kids Can Learn About Money (by working for the family business):

Working for the family will give your children a direct line of communication when they want to talk. Give them the opportunity to discuss pay rates with you. Introduce them to negotiations to agree on a fair rate.

Many students are suffered from near­sightedness. It is because the overuse of mobile phones, computers and ipads which their sight has been harmed. If your eyes are fixing on a small bright screen for a long time, your eyesight will be badly affected.

Near­sightedness has brought much trouble to the students. It makes them able to see clearly what is being written on a blackboard.

To have good eyesight, we must use eyes in a right way. Let’s take up books and reading for a while in bright light. When reading, we should keep up a distance between the eyes and the books. When feeling tired, we should leave the books for a while and do the eyes exercise for relaxation. Only by using eyes in a health way can we have a pair of bright eyes.
