Now more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology (数字科技)”. As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with (交流) others.

“I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing (增长的) numbers of children who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to play with making things.” said a Teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many children can’t communicate with other children but their parents are proud of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone.”

Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age?

Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It’s necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities, which will be useful to them when they grow up.

29. What’s the worst problem in the first paragraph?

A．Children can’t make things themselves.

B．Children make too many friends online.

C．Children don’t want to communicate with others.

A．Teachers don’t notice that children have few skills to make things.

B．Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology.

C．Many teachers don’t care if children can play computers or tablets.

D．Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.

31. What does the underlined word “blame” mean in Chinese?

A．表扬

D．责怪

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch (君主), died aged 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, on Sept 8. Her eldest son, Charles, has now become Britain’s new monarch, known as King Charles III, reported the BBC. The UK began a 10-day mourning period (哀悼期) on Sept 9. Flags flying from government buildings were half-staff (下半旗). People have been able to see the queen’s coffin (灵枢), first in Edinburgh and London. There it would lie in state for 4 days for people to pay their respects before the state funeral (国葬) on Sept 19, reported the BBC.

“It’s just so heartbreaking,” said Laura Lang, from Georgia, US, seeing the queen’s cortege (送葬队伍) pass her in Edinburgh. “Look, I know the queen is ‘Britain’. But she’s the queen of the world,” Laura told Sky News.

In her 70-year reign (在位), the queen spent her life serving her country and Commonwealth. She supported over 600 charities and had a close link with the public, noted Sky News. In the UK, every Christmas day, people would turn on their TVs to listen to the queen’s Christmas speech. She sent heartfelt messages about important things, like togetherness.

In a statement (声明), French President Emmanuel Macron said, “The woman who stood alongside the giants (巨人) of the 20th century on the path of history has left to join them.”
