When we first gave our daughters (then 13 and 15 years old) cell phones for emergencies, we made them sign an agreement in which we strictly ruled where and when they could use their phones and even we could check their every text message. However, in less than a year, we lost control of the situation.

There is a terrible reality that almost every teenager sends between 50 to 100 messages a day - some as many as 300, and 70% of teenagers admit hiding their online behavior from parents. According to a study, teenagers need as much sleep or more than they get as children - that's between 9 and 10 hours of sleep a night, but only 20% of them are getting it. When they don't get enough sleep, they perform poorly in school, feel very hungry, are more likely to have flu and are very emotional.

Recently, we adopted a "check in at tuck in" (蓋被子時交手機) rule at our house, an idea I learnt from a parenting expert. It is very simple. At bedtime, when we "tuck in" our children for the night, they must "check in" their phones. They will probably bargain like this:

"But I use it for my alarm clock."

"I'll wake you up."

"My friends might need me."

"If there is an emergency, they can call the fixed phone and I'll wake you up."

A few weeks ago, when I drove my younger daughter to a friend's house for a sleepover, she handed me her phone. "I guess I should check this in now, since you won't be there to tuck me in tonight. I'll call you from Ellie's phone if I need you."

1.The first paragraph that the writer writes is to______.

A. show the writer's family life

B. lead to the topic of the passage

C. advise to buy cell phones for children

D. introduce the writer's two daughters

2.The cell phones were bought for children in hope of_______.

A. controlling their online behavior

B. working hard through the Internet

C. replacing alarm clocks with cell phones

D. keeping in touch if something urgent happened

3.Which of the following is NOT caused by sleeping less?

A. Performing well in school.

B. Feeling very hungry.

C. Being easy to have flu.

D. Being very emotional.

4.Which is probably the best title for the passage?

A. How to Take Control of Children

B. How to Help Children Sleep Well at Night

C. How to Get Children off Cell Phones at Night

D. How to Assist Children with Cell Phones

The story of the movie Inside Out mostly takes place inside the mind of 11-year-old Riley as she moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. The main characters are Riley’s emotions---Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear, which guide her decisions and often compete with one another for control of her brain.

Fear is tall, thin, looks like a frayed(焦燥的)nerve and is purple. Not only that, his eyes are purple, too. Anger, which is red, looks like a brick and has red eyes. Disgust, who is green, has green eyes. Sadness, not surprisingly, is completely blue, and even looks like a teardrop. But Joy, who is mainly yellow, has more than one color in her. She has blue eyes and blue hair. Why? Well, if blue represents sadness, then the message is clear: there is no such ting as “pure joy”. Instead, even in our most joyous times, there is often sadness mixed in.

After all, one of the most joyous moments we can experience is a wedding, but it may end with the breaking of a glass. It reminds us that our world is still broken. In order words, even at our highest moments, there is always a little sadness.

But the comfort is that the reverse is often true. Think about how you feel after crying. When you cry, your body is releasing some chemicals that often make you feel good. And that’s why you feel at ease after a good cry.

Indeed, Inside Out reminds us that even the emotions that appear “negative’ have value. In other words, Inside Out shows us that the goal of life isn’t “to be happy”. We will feel sad, angry or frightened. But we need our whole range of emotions for developing our sense of self and our relationship with others.

1.According to the author, Joy is different in appearance because __________.

A. it is the leading character in our life

B. that shows it is joyful for a reason

C. that shows it doesn’t just mean pure joy

D. the director wants to make it prettier

2.Why does a wedding end with the braking of a glass?

A. To remind the new couple not to overjoy

B. To show the world we live in isn’t perfect

C. To remind the new couple to pay attention to happiness

D. To show the new couple about the real meaning of marriage

3.The underlined part “the reverse is often true” in Paragraph 4 means ____________.

A. sadness is as important as joy

B. happiness doesn’t last very long

C. sadness can sometimes lead us to joy

D. we should never be too happy about something

4.The movie Inside Out is meant to tell us that ___________.

A. we should attempt to be as happy as possible

B. we should control our negative emotions

C. developing our sense of self isn’t that easy

D. we need both positive and negative emotions

Chokwe Selassie, aged 13, is working hard to help drivers avoid potholes(坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.

Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they meet, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.

The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. It works by using the city’s 311 call system, and uses information already stored in a database. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems, which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype(原型).

Although the app isn't yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther until it's nationwide.

1.The passage is mainly about ________.

A. a solution to traffic jams B. an App to detect potholes

C. pothole problems in big cities D. poor road conditions

2.What’s the closest meaning of the underlined phrase “kick off” in Paragraph 1?

A. leave B. invent

C. begin D. change

3.How does the app work through the 311 call system?

A. By replying to citizens’ calls.

B. By broadcasting traffic accidents.

C. By settling non-emergency problems.

D. By using its information about potholes.

4.Which can be Chokwe’s future target?

A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.

B. Taking part in more learning programs.

C. Making the app available for sale online.

D. Making the app include streets nationwide.
