1 . The march of technology may seem unstoppable, but all digital things may have a way to go before they replace the traditional bedtime book — the paper one. A new study shows that paper books are better than e-books for bedtime reading. The study suggests that the good old printed book, with real pages that you turn with your fingers, makes parents and children interact more than they do when reading with an electronic book. Researchers from the University of Michigan studied how 37 pairs of parents and children interacted with e-books and paper books. The researchers found that with electronic books, parents asked their children fewer questions and shared fewer opinions about the story.

The study involved observing parents and children （aged two or three） reading from three different book formats. These were printed books, basic e-books, and advanced e-books with pictures and sound effects. The researchers discovered that the parents and children interacted with each other less with both types of e-books than they did with the printed books. A researcher said that when they did speak, they preferred to talk about the device and the technology rather than focus on the story. More often, children would say things like, “Don't push that button （按钮）" or “Don't change the volume （音量）” instead of asking questions or making observations about the story.

1. What book can make parents and children know each other better?

A．Printed books.	B．Basic e-books.
C．Advanced e-books.	D．Bedtime books.

2. What's the meaning of the underlined word “interact in Paragraph 1?

A．communicate.	B．compete.
C．disagree.	D．agree.

3. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A．E-books are better than paper books.

B．The researchers have read various books.

C．There are three different kinds of books in the world.

D．Printed books help people better understand the contents.

4. What might a child say if he or she is reading e-books?

A．Please turn off the light.	B．Please color the button.
C．Don't turn down the volume.	D．Don't pass the book to me.

Here are the places that consistently excite the senses.

South of France

Markets with fresh fruits and vegetables and butcher shops are abundant. Regional (地区的) wines are excellent. And freshly baked French bread with French butter is what memories are made of. Take a chair in an ancient walled city for a meal with a view that you will never forget.

Barcelona

This bustling city filled with unique buildings is a city for lovers of history, architecture, and food. Kiosko Universal, a counter restaurant at one comer of the market, prepares some of the simplest and best food we’ve ever had. Give yourself a week to explore and see everything the city offers. The city is not to be missed.

Italy

It’s hard to choose one place or city to visit. Some of our favorite places include the coastal regions on the Adriatic and Tuscany. Friuli stole our hearts last year with its many unique wines, small artisan food producers, and influences from neighboring countries like Austria and Germany.

Mexico City

From unbelievable food markets and casual street stands, Mexico City has become the place to travel for the food lovers. If you want to eat locally, order a Hurache, a street food specialty. All you will need is a local microbrew or Mezcal (龙舌兰酒) to wash it down.

When a ________sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs, and shift ________. We do this automatically, and without ________. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they ________move. We move because the ________of blood needs to be restored in our legs as we sit in the ________position for any extended length of time.

In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to ________the pain, so it ________them in a bad mood.

The Freedom Ride lets them have a little ________, and still be safe. The 5-point Harness gives them additional safety ________a traditional child car seat.

I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and ________Joey Safe asked us to redo their web site, I was ________by this system. That is because I have two small children, and we obviously ________car seats. I live in Southern California, and every ________of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the Freedom Ride ________well. Our trips are so much better now, especially, since there is ________room in the car without the car seats.

The Freedom Ride really did ________it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the Joey Safe ________your old child seat is a pillow. ________, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the Freedom Ride.

9 . Ottawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.

The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill (国会山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building，after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916，and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.

Downtown Ottawa is the commercial and economic centre of the city. Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawa’s high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core. The downtown also contains a number of apartments, hotels, and the older single family homes and townhouses along its edges.

The National Gallery of Canada is one of Canada，s premier art galleries. The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists.

The Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. At the very beginning，the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communication route between Montreal and the British naval base in Kingston.
