Most children have heard their parents at one time or another yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t slouch!” In the past, this was usually heard at the dinner table as children ate dinner. But these days, it is also heard around another activity – video games.

Ten-year old Owaish Batliwala, from Mumbai, India, admits he spends three to four hours each day playing games on his tablet computer. His mother Mehzabin became concerned when her son started saying that his neck hurt. She said, "My son started having neck problems around June or July. The pain slowly spread to his hand and his back. He plays for hours on the iPad and mobile phone. This is what has caused the problem."

Sadia Vanjara is a physical therapist. She says the number of young children with chronic pain in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the rise. Dr. Vanjara says the pain is not from aging, accidents or disease. It is from poor posture, or body position, while playing video games.

This is a problem in many parts of the world. But there are more smartphone users in India than anywhere else in the world, except China. Networking equipment company Cisco estimates that the number of smartphone users in India will increase from 140 million today to 651 million by 2020.

19-year old student Nida Jameel says she feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smartphone most of the day. She says she uses her smartphone 24/7. This means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.

Dr. Vanjara says the best treatments for the pain are daily exercises. Experts advise taking breaks from using a computer or other device often. Stand up. Stretch your legs, back, shoulders and arms. And when your work or school work is done, unplug and exercise.

1. What can be the best title of the passage?

【解析】

試題分析：現(xiàn)在流行的一種活動(dòng)就是玩電子游戲。玩電子游戲太多，頸部會(huì)疼痛。Dr. Vanjara博士說(shuō)最好的治療疼痛是每天鍛煉。

1.A主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段中的Dr. Vanjara says the pain is not from aging, accidents or disease. It is from poor posture, or body position, while playing video games. Dr. Vanjara說(shuō)疼痛并不是來(lái)自年齡、事故或疾病。它來(lái)自玩電子游戲時(shí)貧困的姿勢(shì),或身體的位置。也就是說(shuō)玩電子游戲太多，頸部會(huì)疼痛。故選A。

2.B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段中的yell “sit up straight!”父母經(jīng)常喊“站直”或者 “don’t slouch!”因此可推斷don’t slouch的意思和上一句是相似的，“不要彎曲頭或肩膀向前”，故選B。

第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文 ，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中 ，選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。(共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分)

A.

A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."

God brews the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Leave the rest to God.

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk, That’s all-- milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same store and also buys milk. Besides, she buys chicken to make dinner that night. Then she gets coffee for breakfast and remembers stamps to mail the bills.

And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called multi-tasking a very popular word these days.

Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has proved what we have known all along—men and women think differently.

Last year, some scientists studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old They found that male brains have more connections only on one side of the brain. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right one is known as the “creative” side.

Regina Verma, a professor in the brain study, says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.

As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. In fact, there is a strong connection between the “understandings and the “action” parts of men’s brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (敏感性) when solving a problem. They take a less direct path to find a solution.

1.In paragraph 1, the writer is trying to____ .

A. introduce the topic of the passage

B. describe how shopping is going on

C. compare behaviors of men and women

D. tell us that women buy more than men

2.What’s the finding of the study?

A. Women can find a solution to a problem directly.

B. Men use different parts of the brains to solve a problem.

C. Men and women think differently when solving problems.

D. A female brain has more connections on one side of the brain

3.In which section of a newspaper are we more likely to read this article?

A. Science. B. Business.

C. Education. D. Life.
