Parents complain about their teenagers’ noses constantly in their phones, but they might want to pay attention to their own screen time habits.

A study out Wednesday from the Pew Research Center found that two-thirds of parents are concerned about the amount of time their teenage children spend in front of screens, while more than a third express concern about their own screen time.

Meanwhile, more than half of teens said they often or sometimes find their parents to be absent-minded when

the teens are trying to have a conversation with them. The study calls teens’ relationship with their phones at times “hyperconnected” and notes that nearly three-fourths check messages or notifications(通知)as soon as they wake up. Parents do the same, but at a lower if still considerable rate —57 percent.

Big tech companies face a growing backlash(强烈反应)against the addictive nature of their phones and apps, the endless notifications and other. features created to keep people fastened to their screens.

Many teens are trying to do something about it:52 percent said they have cut back on the time they spend on their phones and 57 percent did the same with social media.

Experts say parents have a big role in their kids’ screen habits and setting a good example is a big part of it. “Kids don’t always do what we say but they do as we do, ” said Donald Shifrin, a professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, who was not involved in the Pew study. “Parents are the door that kids will walk through on their way to the world. ”

The study surveyed 743 U. S. teens and 1, 058 U. S. parents of teens from March 7 to April 10. The range of error is 4. 5 percentage points.

D. About 705.

C. Nonexistent.

D. Overdeveloped.

The Mandarin(普通话)-speaking figure spins around a 360-degree restaurant scene in an artificial intelligence-driven instruction program that looks like a giant video game. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students testing the technology move inside the 12-foot-high projection(投影)to order virtual bean curd from the panda waiter, chat with Beijing market sellers and practice tai chi by mirroring moves of a watchful teacher.

“Definitely less anxiety than messing it up with a real human being,” says Rahul Divekar, a computer science graduate student. “So compared to that anxiety, this is a lot more easy. ”

The “Mandarin Project” is a joint enterprise of RPI and IBM. Cognitive and Immersive Systems Laboratory researchers are developing a sort of smart room that can understand students’ words, answer their questions and observe their gestures. Lessons are presented as games or tasks, like ordering a meal out.

Divekar orders Peking duck —“Beijng kaoya”—and the panda fetches the virtual dish. Divekar says the food was good —“Cai hen hao chi”—but he can’t pay the bill. No problem, the panda replies —“ni keyi xi pan zi”—you can wash the dishes.

Other scenes include an outdoor market and a garden, each a high-tech twist on cultural immersion(渗透).

“Our plan is to complete several scenes of real life in China, to let the student be able to have a virtual trip over there,” says Hui Su, director of the lab at RPI.

Tests on the room with students studying Mandarin will continue this school year as they work on additional scenes, including an airport. A six-week course is being readied for the summer.

The Mandarin Project is notable for its scale and complexity. Computers interpret speech and gesture to keep a dialogue going. When a student points to a picture and ask s “What’s that?”computers can come up with an

answer. Still, language teachers need not fear for their jobs just yet. Developers of the Mandarin Project say it isn’t advanced enough right now to completely replace classroom instruction.

RPI president Shirley Ann Jackson foresees the same type of technology being applied to other spaces, such as corporate boardrooms. “We’re not at the end of the line,” Jackson says, “but closer to the beginning. ”

28. What is the advantage of learning via the Mandarin Project?

A. It is thrilling.

B. It is relaxing.

C. It is effective.

D. It is demanding.

29. How do students learn Chinese in the Mandarin Project?

A. By doing tests in the smart rooms.

B. By learning from language teachers.

C. By playing video games with Chinese.

D. By conducting tasks in designed situations.

30. Which of the following scenes is to be developed?

A. Ordering food.

B. Practicing Taichi.

C. Waiting at the airport.

D. Buying things in a market.

31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Language teachers will be jobless soon.

B. The technology has a promising future.

C. The technology has come to an end.

D. More foreigners will learn Chinese.

D

Historians and archaeologists have defined periods of human history for centuries by the technologies or materials that made the greatest impact on society. This includes the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. But what age are we in now? That question can be answered with one word for some researchers. Plastics.

“Plastic has redefined our material culture and the artifacts we leave behind. It will be found in stratified layers(分层)in our trash deposits(沉积).” That’s according to John Marston, an archaeologist.

There is no place on Earth that plastics are naturally made. The wide variety of synthetic polymers(合成聚合物)would not exist if it weren’t for human action. About six billion tons of plastics have been made and spread around the planet. They have been spread from forests to oceans ever since the first plastic polymers were invented.

Plastics are one of the most significant changes that humans have made to the Earth’s makeup. Most plastics don’t easily degrade. This only adds to the problem. Recycling isn’t an adequate solution. Not all types of plastic are easily recyclable. And there are only a few recycling plants that can process all varieties of plastic.

According to Debra Winter, writer for The Atlantic, this means that much of the materials thrown into recycling bins can cross the planet several times before they are processed. They are made into rugs, sweaters, or they are used to make other bottles. Millions of tons of plastic are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean. The problem has reached the point where it’s possible that in just a few decades there might be more plastic in the world’s oceans than fish.

“Plastics have a supposed life span of over 500 years, so it’s safe to say that every plastic bottle you have used exists somewhere on this planet, in some form or another,” Winter writes.

The damage may already be done. It may be too late for human populations worldwide to change their plastic-using ways. So the Plastic Age might soon take its place next to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in the history of human civilization.

32. Why do people call our age the Plastic Age?

A. Because plastics are not naturally made.

B. Because human create plastics after iron.

C. Because plastics influence the world greatly.

D. Because historians and archaeologists think so.

33. According to the passage, how are most plastics dealt with currently?

A. They are recycled.

B. They are degraded.

C. They are thrown away.

D. They are made into bottles.

34. What is the author’s attitude to the Plastic Age?

A. Negative.

B. Ambiguous.

C. Favorable.

D. Unconcerned.

35. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Plastics have ruined our environment.

B. We must stop using plastics altogether.

C. Human beings are faced with the plastic age.

D. Plastics are significant to human development.

The study habits of top students at Oxford University

Go to your lectures.

For the first 2 years of Oxford, I went to maybe 4 lectures out of hundreds available. 36 In my third year, I went to almost every single lecture available, including those involving topics I was not personally involved or interested in.

37 Firstly, lectures are FUN! I found so many gems(宝石)that influenced my thinking. I found so many passionate, knowledgeable speakers who got me excited about the topic. Second, I remembered more stuff! An hour in the lecture hall has massive returns on investment.

Be an active student.

For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in lectures. I didn’t volunteer in discussions and, as a result, I didn’t understand much. My understandings of different texts never matured or became complex. They stayed the same. 38

Then, somewhere in the middle of my second year, I got over myself and offered more of my own opinions. I responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted way more.

Being an active student also means asking for help. The smartest people learned everything from other smart people.

39

It doesn’t matter how much new information you stuff into your head if you forget it the next day or cannot apply it. When you structure your studying, the most important task is always to ensure you are remembering the information you have already learned. 40

In order to improve your memory and absorb more information, you need to break your studying up into manageable pieces and reviewing what you’ve previously learned in each new piece.

A. Study in small blocks.

B. That always comes first.

C. And they were often wrong.

D. Create a perfect study environment.

E. Some students study new information for hours.

F. My mind changed when I actually went to lectures.

G. I was foolish and lazy, severely disadvantaging myself.
