21、They say that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Yet childhood bullying (欺凌) really can damage your long-term health. Gone are the days when bullying was considered an unavoidable and finally harmless part of growing up — just last month we learned that childhood bullying can lead to poorer mental health even into middle age.

Now William Copeland at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and his colleagues have shown that it can have lasting physiological effects too. They tracked 1,420 nine-year-olds right through their teens. Each child was seen up to nine times during the study and asked about bullying. The team then measured levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in their blood. CRP is a marker of inflammation (炎症) linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病) and problems like diabetes. “Because we were collecting biological samples throughout, we were able to look at CRP levels in subjects prior to their bullying involvement.” says Copeland. “This really gives us an idea of the changes bullying brings about.”

Although CRP levels naturally rise in everyone during adolescence, levels were highest in children who reported suffering from bullies. Even at the ages of 19 and 21, children who had once been bullied had CRP levels about 1.4 times higher than peers who were neither wrongdoers nor victims. In a cruel twist, the bullies had the lowest levels of all, suggesting they didn’t suffer the same health risks. They may even see a benefit from their behavior, though Copeland stresses it doesn’t defend their actions. “The goal would instead be to find other ways to produce this protective effect without it being at someone else’s expense.” he says.

Andrea Danese at King’s College London has before shown that ill-treatment during childhood can lead to high levels of inflammation in adult life. “This new study is a helpful addition in showing that these effects extend to another important childhood stressor.” he says. He suggests that care workers monitor levels of CRP in children having psychotherapy to see if it is helping to reduce the stress of being bullied.

【1】What do you know about CRP?

A. It relates directly to diabetes.

B. It is a sign of the inflammation.

C. It is a sign of cardiovascular disease.

D. It is a sign of physiological effects caused by bullying.

【2】What does the phrase “prior to” in Para.2 mean?

A. through B. during   C. after   D. before

【3】What can be learned from paragraph 3?

A. CRP levels naturally rise along with the increase of age.

B. The bullies are not to blame for the health risks of the bullied.

C. The levels of CRP of the children once bullied are higher than their peers.

D. Copeland intends to defend the benefit of the bullies’ actions.

【4】 What does Andrea Danese think about childhood ill-treatment?

A. Copeland’s study shows nothing related to it.

B. It doesn’t have much to do with inflammation in adult life.

C. The stress of being bullied is reduced through psychotherapy.

D. Psychological treatment might help solve the problem caused by ill-treatment.

【5】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Bullying is beneficial to the bullies.

B. CRP levels reflect the risks of poorer health.

C. Bullying has lasting harmful effects on a person.

D. Bullying leads to high CRP levels.

22、When I talk to kids about writing, I often compare it to the roller coaster to remind them to mix laughs with thrills in writing, because nobody wants to ride a roller coaster that's a long, never-ending and terrifying one. Even Shakespeare, in his darkest tragedies, opens each act with a funny scene before the swords and daggers or poison come out. We need comic relief in literature, a break in the tension.

I have always tried to write stories for kids that mix the heart-racing thrill of a mystery with a few jokes. Maybe this is because, when I was in the fifth and sixth grades, the fun comic magazine was my favorite reading material. Then in high school, was the class clown. When I first moved to New York City, I performed with one of the city's top comedy groups. Comedy, I have discovered, is a great teaching tool. It is also a wonderful defense against fear.

One of my favorite e-mails I've ever received was sent to me in 2009 by a young reader who loved my stories. Here's what he wrote:

Dear Mr. Grabenstein,

I just wanted to let you know that I really, absolutely love your books. I'm in 6th grade and recently finished The Hanging Hill after reading The Crossroads. Your stories mix action,humor and horror together in a perfect combination.

Thanks so much!

Will R.

Comedy is a writer's tool for releasing tension and it also simply makes books more fun to read. I used humor in my middle grade novel The Island of Dr. Libris to make classic literature feel more accessible to young readers. I also think it's why so many reluctant readers-including kids who haven't read a book in years-have been crazy about Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics. Learning the Dewey Decimal System in maths class can be fun if it is presented in a funny way. Because when we're laughing, we never think we're working too hard.

【1】Where is the text probably from?

A．A literature textbook.

B．An autobiography.

C．A writing guidebook.

D．A writing outline.

【2】Why does the author mention the e-mail from a student in paragraph 3?

A．To prove a theory.

B．To explain a concept.

C．To support his opinion.

D．To introduce the topic.

【3】Which of the following best describes Dewey Decimal System in the last paragraph?

A．Efficient.

B．Boring.

C．Simple.

D．Effective.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Fun, an element in writing

B．Magazine, a guide for writing

C．Imagination, the soul of writing

D．Clown suit, a decoration for writing

23、Children under the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games, according to a notice issued by China's National Press and Publication Administration. Online game companies are required to provide services to minors — from 8 to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays — as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health. Children are playing more and more online games these days. Is it time to limit their online gaming time? What role do parents have? Readers share their opinions.

Rizlared

Online games are addictive, but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this, parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones. Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.

Andrew

Good policy. By limiting time spent on online games, kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential. They can go outside and run, jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smart phone.

Adam

It is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones. Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage. Some forcibly take away their cellphones, but it will ruin trust and relationship. Even worse, it will make their kids hate them.

Pink

Excessive(过度的）gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on both physical and mental health. The gaming industry should not put profit- flaking interests as its priority ( 优先事项) . They should act in a socially responsible way to provide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.

Lauren

There would be a loophole(漏洞). Children could use their parents’ or other adults’ IDs to avoid real-name registration, thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect. Parents absolutely need to strengthen guidance and supervision to keep their children from gaming addiction.

【1】What should kids do according to Andrew?

A．Play online games.

B．Play with a smart phone.

C．Study all the time.

D．Go in for outside activities.

【2】What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?

A．Pay attention to its profit.

B．Focus on kids’ health.

C．Be responsible for kids’ surroundings.

D．Persuade kids lo play more games.

【3】What role do parents have according to the passage?

A．They keep hold of their phones.

B．They set examples for their kids.

C．They limit their kids’ time.

D．They blame kids for addiction.

24、You spend a lot of time at home, so your furniture and other home decoration play a big role in how you feel.   【1】 Do you want to redecorate to maximize your good mood? Here are a few tips that show how furniture affects your mood.

How the furniture in your room is laid out is one of the most important factors affecting your mood. When shopping for a new home, many people focus on picking out paint colors. 【2】   Actually, the layout(布局)of your furniture should be one of the first things you should plan.

If you plan to entertain a lot of guests in your living room, you will want to plan for seating that encourages conversation. A line of chairs or couches against one wall won’t offer the chance for your guests to talk with each other. 【3】

When choosing furniture for your room, keep in mind the size of the room as well as the ceiling height. 【4】 Adding oversized furniture for the room can make it hard to move throughout the room and create feelings of fear. On the other hand, furniture that is too small in a large room with high ceilings can create a feeling of coldness and unwelcome.

【5】 Anytime you can bring great outdoor things in, your mood is sure to improve. Studies have shown that children who receive adequate sunlight during their studies have better grade. Similarly, natural scenes can improve your own ability to focus. Whenever possible, use natural light throughout your home to improve your state of mind. If you live in an urban setting, try adding potted plants to your room.

A．They seldom consider a room’s layout.

B．You should bring nature to your home.

C．Furniture needs to fit the size of the room.

D．A room’s layout of furniture can affect your mood.

E．Decorate your room with special scenes for your children.

F．Color and seating are important factors in home decoration.

G．Instead, choosing a small group of chairs or a 1arge sofa will be better.
