It is time for Mrs. Brown’ s class. Mrs. Brown asks her students a question: Do smartphones bring us closer together or drive (迫使) us further apart? The students show great interest in the discussion.     1    

David:

I think smartphones drive us further apart. When you sit in a busy restaurant, watch the guests waiting for their meals.     2     They don’ t talk much to one another. Although smartphones are helpful in our everyday lives, we should not have all our communication behind a screen.     3    

Alice:

In my opinion, smartphones bring us closer together. When my family moved to Qingdao last year, I had to leave my friends in Nanjing. But smartphones help us keep in touch ( 保持联系).     4    

James:

It depends. Smartphones can bring us closer to people living far.     5     Many people talk more on their smartphones than with the people around them. It is hard to say. Still, one thing is clear: If we can use our smartphones properly, everything will be OK.

A．We also need eye contact (眼神交流) and face-to-face talks.

B．Let’s listen to what they are saying.

C．We need to travel far to meet a friend.

D．You will see almost everyone looking at the screen of their smartphone.

E．We can communicate with each other fast and easily through smartphones.

F．However, they make us further apart from those around us.

You’re just about to head out for the day, but you notice you forgot to charge (充电) your phone.     1     But don’t worry, we have the top tips for how to make your phone charge faster.

Take your phone out of the case.

If you notice that your phone gets hot when you charge it, scientists suggest taking it out of its case before charging.     2     This may influence battery capacity. If you are always asking “Why is my phone so slow?” make sure it isn’t a heat-related problem from the case.

Clean out your lightning port (端口).

The problem may not be with the power of your battery itself—learning how to clean your phone’s charging port could be very important to how to make your phone charge faster. Over time, dust can accumulate (堆积) in your lightning port and block it.     3    

Get your phone out of the sun.

    4     In fact, your phone’s software may limit charging to about 80% when the phone gets hotter than the recommended temperature. One tip for making your phone charge faster to its 100% is to make sure you cool down an overheating phone by moving it out of the sun.

Plug it into a wall socket.

The USB port of your computer may be convenient when you’re working, but a socket will charge your phone faster. This is because USB ports usually only charge at 0.5 amps.     5    

A．Heat causes harm to your battery.

B．Now your battery power is running out!

C．Therefore, it’s going to take twice the time.

D．Some of the cases are made with protective materials.

E．Charging your phone when it’s inside cases may produce more heat.

F．We recommend turning off your phone and using a toothpick to gently clean it.

4 . Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in the society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is a website called HappyNews.

HappyNews was created by Byron Reese, who was the founder and CEO of PageWise. Reese once said about HappyNews, “Since the news media is giving people an unbalanced (偏颇的) view of the world, it’s our duty to make a difference. Traditional media often focuses on negative (消极的) stories, but our personal experience is usually different from that. Generally, most people are good and try to help each other. Most people are honest.”

Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then people are better able to make decisions about the things that influence their daily lives. According to this, Reese said, “HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. Instead, it is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.”

By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 readers. About 60 percent of them were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mails from its readers on a daily basis. A reader said in one of them, “From HappyNews, I’ve realized that the world is not as bad of a place as I have been trained to believe.”

In the world of HappyNews, there is no bad or ugly, only good.

1. According to Reese, how is HappyNews different from other news sources?

A．It gives a balanced view of the world.	B．It focuses on negative news stories.
C．It tells Reese’s personal experience.	D．It provides people with helpful news.

2. Some people don’t like HappyNews probably because ________.

A．HappyNews doesn’t seem like traditional media

B．HappyNews doesn’t report international news

C．HappyNews doesn’t tell important issues or problems

D．HappyNews doesn’t attract men readers

3. The underlined word “unique” in paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A．special

B．interesting

C．strange

D．awful

4. Which of the following is TRUE about HappyNews after its first month online?

A．It had about seven thousand readers.	B．Most of its readers were women.
C．Its readers sent in bad letters every day.	D．Reese used it to create other websites.

5. Which of the following news items can probably be found on HappyNews?

A．Plastic pollution in the ocean	B．Luke Smith wins competition
C．3 injured in serious car crash	D．The great Garden Bank robbery

6. What can be the best title for the passage?

Helpful Hotline

A telephone hotline has recently gone viral (走红). It was created by students at West Side Elementary School in Healdsburg, California. People can call to get cheerful advice from students.

The hotline is in English and Spanish. Children with happy voices share positive (积极的) messages with callers. For example, by pressing “3”, you can hear a group of kids say, “You can do it!

Pressing “1” brings up ideas for people who feel upset or nervous. Helpful suggestions include punching (击打) your pillow, doing flips (翻转) on a trampoline (蹦床) or getting a cookie.

Pressing “2” results in “words of encouragement and life advice”, like “The world is a better place with you in it.”

The hotline soon got thousands of calls an hour. Words of the hotline spread on social media. The hotline is popular with stressed adults, hospital patients, older people in nursing homes and others who just want to hear some happy voices.
