Is the Mobile Phone a Must-have for Teenagers?

Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their mobile phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on public transport, in a café or simply walking down the street. With the development of technology, we can now do almost anything on the mobile phones. How does the use of mobile phones affect(影响) the young? Do they really need mobile phones or not? Some British parents, teachers and teenagers give their opinions on this subject.

Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without? William, a parent of two kids, says, "The great thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them. The worst thing about teenagers having phones is that some young people use them to send impolite messages to each other." Some parents have rules about their children's mobile phone and internet usage. If they break the rules, their phones will be kept by their parents.

In the UK, students can take their mobile phones to school, but they are not allowed to use them in class. Some teachers complain(抱怨) that students don’t always follow the rules. They don't listen carefully in class because they are using their phones to surf the internet, chat with friends or so on. As for the students, most of them think phones are part of their lives. They can keep in touch with family and friends, and they can take photos, keep important information and surf the internet, which is very convenient(方便). Some consider phones as a kind of fashion(时尚) and they don't want others to see them as "out" or "different".

It’s true that mobile phones have become a symbol of the modern life. This form of technology makes teenagers' life much more convenient, but if teenagers depend too much on them, it can lead to serious problems. Increasingly scientists are saying that everyone needs a break from mobile phones — put them away and experience “the real life”. In fact it can be very easy — next time when you go out with friends, put all of your phones in the middle of the table. Whoever touches his phone first has to pay the bill!

Indeed, the convenience brought by mobile phones is great, but don't let your phone become more important than the “real” people in your “real” life.

1.The mobile phones will probably be kept by parents if the teenagers________.

A. go out with classmates and friends and pay the bill

B. search for a lot of important information and keep it

C. take them to school and look up new words after class

D. send impolite messages and surf the Internet too much

2.According to the passage which of the following is true?

A. All students consider mobile phones as a kind of fashion.

B. Teachers allow students to use mobile phones in class in the UK.

C. Parents often count how many young people are using mobile phones.

D. More and more scientists think people need a break from mobile phones.

3.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. Schools should stop students from taking their phones to school.

B. The mobile phone is the most important invention in modern life.

C. Mobile phones are useful but teenagers shouldn’t totally depend on them.

D. Talking with friends on mobile phones is better than doing it face to face.

Do you like listening to music? Do you often turn up the music when you’re using earphones? If so, your hearing may have been damaged(损坏).

The World Health Organization (WHO) is worried that 1.1 billion children and young people are damaging their hearing by listening to loud music. Nearly half the young people in developed countries may lose their hearing because of the "unsafe use" of music players, including smartphones. Loud music in nightclubs, parties and at sports also make it worse. The WHO advises young people to listen to music for just one hour a day. Dr. Etienne Krug told BBC: "What we're trying to do is to draw people's attention to a problem that is not talked about enough." He said it's easy to solve this problem.

Dr. Krug said keeping the music down and limiting (限制) the listening time to less than one hour a day would save a lot of people's hearing. However, he also said, "Even an hour can be too much if the music is too loud.” Ralph Holme, a researcher, explained how loud noise can damage ears. He said: "Loud sounds damage your hearing by killing off thousands of little hair cells(细胞) in the inner ear. The cells can tell different sounds through vibration(振动). But they are very fragile — they get damaged easily and even die if they vibrate too much because of loud sounds for too long.” He warned: "The bigger problem is they don't grow back and the ear can no longer get sound."

No one wants to lose their hearing! Therefore, next time when you listen to music, make sure it's not too loud and only listen for less than an hour. You can enjoy your music much better in this way.

1.How are the children and young people damaging their hearing?.

A．By using smartphones.              B．By going to the party.

C．By listening to loud music.         D．By talking with friends.

2.How long does WHO advise young people to listen to music a day?

A．For a long time.                    B．For just one hour.

C．For half of the day.                D．For more than one hour.

3.What does the word “fragile” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Weak.           B．Clever.

C．Small.          D．Strong.

4.From the passage we can learn that __________.

A．keeping the music down would save young people's hearing

B．the damaged cells can grow back and the ear can get sound

C．young people lose their hearing because of going to the nightclubs

D．the problem of young people's hearing damage is talked about enough

Suspended (待用的) Coffee

This story will warm you better than a coffee on a cold winter day.

One day, my friend and I entered a little coffee house and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, "Five cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three suspended." They paid for their order, took the two and left. I asked my friend: "What are those 'suspended' coffees?" Instead of giving me the answer, he told me to wait and see.

Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees—three for themselves and four suspended. While I still wondered what the suspended coffees were, I enjoyed the sunny weather and the beautiful view in front of the coffee house. Suddenly a poor man like a beggar(乞丐) came into the coffee house. He kindly ordered a suspended coffee and sat there to drink it.

At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple — people pay the coffee in advance(预先) for someone who can't afford it. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Italy, but it has spread all over the world. Meanwhile, I understood suspended coffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.

1.How many cups of coffee did the two young men order?

A．One.                  B．Four.

C．Five.                  D．Seven.

2.Who ordered a suspended coffee ?

A．My friend.            B．Two girls.

C．Three lawyers.      D．A poor man.

3.The tradition with the suspended coffee started in ______.

A．America             B．Italy

C． England              D．Canada

4.The writer wants to tell us to ______.

A．pay for others        B．enjoy the sunshine

C．help someone in need   D．order more than before

Friends

When students go to a new school, it can be scary(害怕的). They worry about their studies. They also worry about making friends. But do not worry too much. Most of the time students and teachers in the new school are friendly. Usually there are some people you like at once. These people often like you too. How do people make friends? What makes a person a friend? Here's what one student says:

"My name is Helen. Amy and Sally are my best friends. We are fourteen years old. I like Amy because she is happy almost all the time and she is very friendly. Sally is a quiet person. She makes friends more slowly. But she is just as good a friend as Amy. They are both interested in the same things as me, and we listen to each other's problems. Amy likes to talk and Sally likes to listen. We are all good at different school subjects, so we help each other with our homework too!"
