Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called
Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total
media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at
Bournemouth University. The experiment is now over but he doesn"t yet know the full findings.
However, during the experiment, Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise
affected volunteers. He said: "They"re reporting withdrawal symptoms (症状), overeating, feeling
nervous, isolated and disconnected." During their 24-hour painful experience, three of the experiment"s
guinea pigs had to endure one intrusion (侵扰) from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who
followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but
of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. Elliot Day wrote:
"Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social
importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.
" From Caroline Scott, we read: "I didn"t expect it, but being prevented from the media for 24 hours
resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual… I didn"t break
out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but it"s not something I would like to do again!
" And Charlotte Gay wrote: "I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my
mobile; not only is it a social tool, it"s my main access point of communication."
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking
hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. And a recent study by Nielson found
that on average, US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month-that"s about six texts per
waking hour. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set
aside for sleep in the future?
B. To entertain the readers.
C. To lead to the topic.
D. To present an idea.
B. volunteers didn"t want to eat anything
C. the experiment was still going on
D. volunteers were allowed to take their laptops
B. was completely disturbed
C. turned out perfect
D. was badly designed
B. Unplugging Your Life
C. Valuing Social Communication
D. Setting Aside Time for Sleep

California. "Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course." These young scientists
are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through
twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills and more.
The children don"t just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and
transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an
architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs
and build models of their creations. "Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,""
says the teacher who developed this program. "They are able to use their own rich imagination and
inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the
class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected "official" and "planning group" make
all the design decisions for the model city and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.
CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for
problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the
children"s own standards.
B. train young scientists for city planning
C. develop children"s problem-solving abilities
D. help young architects know more about designing
B. help kids with their program
C. discuss with the teacher
D. give children a lecture
B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
C. they are given enough time to design models
D. they need not worry about making mistakes

Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child"s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make the child lose interest in learning new things
B. should expect a lot of the children
C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible
B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D. it"s parents" and society"s duty to control the children
B. punishment
C. behavior
D. instruction
B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C. forbid their children to follow hook teachings
D. always ensure the security of their children
sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through,
and this is essential (不可缺少的) for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our
environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous
quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off (用屏幕隔开). As soon as men leave the
atmosphere, they areexposed to this radiation but their spacesuit or the walls of their spacecraft, if they
are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called "rem".
Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more than 0.1 rem without being damaged;
the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about
radiation damage - a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be
damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even
grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the
outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated (积累) a large amount of rems. So far, no
dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We
simply don"t know yet how men are going to get on when they spent weeks and months outside the
protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage
done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.
B. it provides sufficient (充分的) light for plant growth
C. it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D. it screens off the falling meteors
B. seems overestimated
C. is enormous
D. remains unknown
B. protection from space radiation is no easy job
C. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
B. Research on Radiation
C. Effects of Space Radiation
D. Importance of Protection Against Radiation
men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at
least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held
belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring
from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率) of
heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart
disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a
day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.
At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among
the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This
relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol
(胆固醇) levels.
B. the changes in people"s diet
C. the effect of fish eating on people"s health
D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
B. in highly-developed countries
C. in countries of the yellow-skin race
D. in the countries with good production of fish
the incidence of heart disease.
B. regular fish-eating
C. the kind of fish eaten
D. people of different areas
