18．Entertainment （娱乐）is a developing business．Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with technology．More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money．Sometimes entertainment is a form of escapism（逃避）．It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world-not our own．
•Why do we want to escape？
Boredom or loneliness：The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some excitement and a bit change．A TV running in the background，and maybe catching our attention every now and then，keeps us company．
Fear and avoidance：We don't want to face something we fear，or can't bring ourselves to move past the fear and do something about it．We're scared to go for what we want，so we choose to turn on the TV．
Struggle：Life sometimes feels like a battle-traffic，work，taking care of ourselves and keeping up with what's going on．Al the end of the day all we want to do is forget about all of it and sit mindlessly in front of TV．
Escaping has never been easier than today．We have many forms of escape．And the most favored is entertainment．
•________
Easy to reach and affordable：You can stay at home and watch TV，or surf online all day long．
Social connection：one can line up for a new movie and socialize with other people or go to a ballgame and cheer for his or her favorite team．Entertainment has become something people have in common and can talk about．
All forms of entertainment are okay if we know what we're doing． And more importantly，we have complete control over when entertainment comes to an end．
•To face our fears and reality or to escape？
If you tried escaping before and it didn't help，it's time to deal with the problems you face．
Before watching a TV show，make sure that the important thing is taken care of．Leave your favorite show to the end of the day，after you've taken care of what matters to you．This will allow you to enjoy every minute．
There is nothing wrong with entertainment，if we don't place a higher value on it than our own reality and what matters to us．
When we entertain ourselves mindfully，we won't need to escape．We turn entertainment into the reality of the moment．And when we're done，we move on一with no regret．And that can be a lot of fun．

9．Like the post-90s generation in China，today's teenagers in the UK have a problem with how they're represented．Most of them feel unfairly represented by the media and their lives are negatively （负面地） influenced，says a recent survey．
The survey was carried out by the UK Demos，in which more than 1000 14-17-year-old teens from England and Northern Ireland took part．
The survey report shows that four-fifths of teens （81%） felt there was a false image of young people in the media and wider society．Most of them （85%） said that it is hurting both their self-esteem（自尊） and chance of getting a job．
By researching six UK newspapers over the past 10years，Demos found that words most commonly connected with"teenagers"and"young people"were "binge-drinking"，"yobs" and"crime"．
"The young people out there are doing good things for the community，but there are always bad things on the news．But we're not all like that，it's only a few，"said Becky Brunskill，18，member of Youth Parliament for Liverpool．
The survey also found that 80% of UK teenagers believed they cared more about social issues than the older generation．This was a view shared by their teachers，66% of whom agreed in a separate Demos survey of 500 teachers．
The UK youth are also eager to make a difference．But rather than traditional politics，87% of the teens believed social media was a good way to change society．
Jonathan Birdwell，author of the Demos report，said"They could be the most active citizens we have seen in a generation．"

34．What problem are current UK teenagers troubled with according to Demos？B
A．Their bad school image．
B．The media's negative image of them．
C．Their false social relationships．
D．The difficulty of getting jobs．
35．How many people think that the false image is hurting their self-esteem？C
A.800．
B.810．
C.850．
D.1000．
36．We can guess the underlined words"binge-drinking"and"yobs"are aboutA．
A．something bad
B．something good
C．students
D．adults
37．What can we tell from the passage？D
A．Few young British people are doing good things for the community．
B．British teenagers care more about their parents than social issues．
C．Young Britons are inactive in trying to prove themselves．
D．Young Britons believe social media is a good way to change society．

13．Some people say that today，reading is not as important as it was．These days we have photographs，films，radio and television．Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph？Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV？
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention．Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen．An encyclopedia （百科全书），for example，is always better when it has good illustrations．But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings．A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like，but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found，their exact size and weight，how they can be useful to man and so on．
In the same way，a good film has action，movement，color，and maybe music．These are things we do not find on the printed page．But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film．Reading a novel requires imagination．Each of us imagines a story differently．
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting．But we need newspapers as well．Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around．More importantly，a newspaper does not just report the news．It explains why something has been happening．It also contains interesting articles on different subjects．Newspapers are an important part of our lives，if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world．
Reading is very important for information and pleasure．We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings．Reading is a skill and like other skills，it needs practice．The more we read，the better readers we become．And the better readers we become，the more we enjoy reading!The secret is to get the reading habit．Read at least a little every day．

48．According to Paragraph 2，photographs can give usC．
A．enough information about people and places
B．no information about things
C．some information about things but not enough
D．the wrong information about things
49．Newspapers containA．
A．more information than television
B．less information than television
C．more news from other countries
D．less information about important events than TV
50．What are the advantages of novel over a feature film？D
A．There are more interesting subjects in novels．
B．We do not hear any music in a novel．
C．Novels always explain what is happening．
D．Novels make us use our imagination．
51．What does the author think about reading？B
A．It is a wonderful invention．
B．It is an important part of our lives．
C．It requires no practices．
D．It is not as important as television．

3．

Do American children still learn handwriting in school？In the age of the keyboard，some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting．But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it．One of this year's studies found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting．Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10to 15minutes a day，and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60to 70minutes a day-which really for handwriting is pretty much．
Many adults remember learning that way-by copying letters over and over again．Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better．Many experts（专家） also think handwriting should not be taught by itself．Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas．After all，that is why we write．
Handwriting involves two skills．One is legibility，which means forming the letters so they can be read．The other is fluency（流畅）-writing without having to think about it．Fluency continues to develop up until high school．
But not everyone masters these skills．Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting．Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs．
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school，especially in the early years．American children traditionally first learn to print，and then to write in cursive，which connects the letters．But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board（大学委员会）．More than 75percent of students choose to print their essay（article） on the test rather than write in cursive．

52．From Paragraph 1we can learnA．
A．teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching job
B．most teachers prefer to teach handwriting
C．teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting
D．a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting
53．Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA？B
A．Handwriting includes two skills．
B．To write in cursive is taught first．
C．The letters are repeated many times．
D．The students are taught by practicing a long period．
54．The underlined word"legibility"in Paragraph 3meansA．
A．easy to read
B．easy to write
C．unexpected
D．unreadable
55．The best title for the passage isB．
A．How to Improve Handwriting in School
B．Right or Wrong：the Death of Handwriting
C．Handwriting Involves Two Skills
D．Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way Out．
