2 . Easy Tips to Reduce Your Screen Time

While modern technology helps us increase our efficiency in many different areas, it also does a lot of damage. However, with some careful planning, you can limit the time you spend in front of a screen.

Avoid screen time while you eat

Many people use meal breaks to catch up on social media pages and online news. While that might seem like a good idea, it makes it impossible for you to give your eyes some rest.     1     Just focus on the food you’re eating and enjoy it.

Limit screen time outside of work

If you work in front of the computer screen for 8 hours every day, you should limit your screen time outside of work.     2     Instead of watching the TV and playing video games, you could read a book you like.

Avoid watching TV in bed

Watching TV before going to sleep is the favorite entertainment for many of us, but it’s also very unhealthy.     3     Another problem is that instead of relaxing your eyes, it will only put pressure on them even more.

    4    

Staying in touch with the people you love through social media networks is a good thing but spending hours in front of your computer screen or mobile device won’t do you any good. Instead of doing that, you should free up some time for a face-to-face meeting rather than FaceTime.

Find something else to do

Definitely, life is much more than just passively looking at a screen.     5     If not that, just go outside for a walk around the block, do anything else than looking at screens all day, every day.

A．Go out to relax your eyes.

B．Socialize more in real life.

C．Screen time before bed will make it harder for you to fall asleep.

D．That’s why you should always avoid looking at a screen while you eat.

E．So go outside, do something meaningful with friends, or just find a hobby to stay active.

F．That is to say, you should leave your work at work and use the time you have at home to relax.

G．There are many more important things to do at work rather than keep yourself staring at the screen all the time.

3 . When I was about 4 years old, I was diagnosed with a learning disability known as autism (自闭症). It made my mom really upset and for me, it was very rough growing up with it, considering the fact that I wasn’t able to have an actual conversation until I was about 7 years old.

School was very difficult for me when I was younger. Teachers would always discuss with my parents about ways to improve my learning. I have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), which allows special accommodations for school. But I still face some discrimination from school staff. I asked my mom about how that played out when I was younger.

“It was right when you were going into kindergarten,” she said. “I stopped to talk to your brother’s former kindergarten teacher and I asked her if she was ready to have you in her class the next year. And her response was, ‘I don’t think Zachary is going to be a good fit for my classroom.’” She said she was really shocked by the teacher’s response, but finally managed to find another kindergarten teacher who was willing to take me on.

My mother is a huge advocate for me. She made sure I got every treatment, camp program and accommodations. She even created a parent support group at my elementary school. She wanted to help the parents that were struggling and the ones that didn’t know how to advocate for their children.

By the time I got into middle school, I didn’t struggle at school anymore. I told a few people that I was autistic but they didn’t believe me since I looked quite normal. And that’s all thanks to my mother, whose support and loving care really helped me through those tough years.

6 . 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Normally and naturally, a daughter is more attached to her mother in comparison to her father or other siblings. The attachment is also due to the fact that the daughter finds it easier to confide in(向…吐露个人隐私) the mother on personal and biological matters at different stages while growing up.

The bonding between mother and daughter will increase with their being together and going out on an excursion. An excursion is a journey to some far-off place undertaken by people. It is not necessary that such a trip be taken on a lavish (奢侈)scale involving lots of money. It can be as short as an overnight trip to some place to improve bonding. A mother can plan a trip to some local spa without the knowledge of her daughter. She can be ready with baggage packed and wait for the moment the daughter comes back from school. Once in the hotel they can enjoy the night together getting refreshing treatments like massage. After relaxing spa they can laze in bed, enjoying favourite food or drink and if possible enjoying nature through the window. After a long period of relaxation, going out for a walk together will improve bonding.

Going out overnight to enjoy comforting walk at the beach, strolling and relaxing at intervals without the interference of any other person can be a great idea of bonding. Being of the same sex, and often having the same set of likes and dislikes, they can spend time on makeup or applying nail polish etc. The daughter should never forget to thank the mother for the wonderful time they spent together, and the mother should never hesitate to say a few words of praise to the daughter.

Going out for shopping together is a good bonding idea too. It is not essential that lots of money should be spent on shopping. The mother can take the daughter to some shops where she can buy her uniform or some other things. They can jointly enjoy window shopping, expressing love for and gratitude to the other.

7 . Ways to boost your chances of a good night’s rest

Experts have found more evidence of the harm caused by disturbing our body clocks, linking it to depression and mental disorder. It’s a warning to our body’s natural rhythms, which influence our sleep as well as a range of other processes in our body. Here are the things we can do for a good night’s sleep.

●Limit evening light. Are you inseparable from your mobile phone? Do you check your social media late into the night?     1     These devices produce powerful blue light that is particularly bad for our sleep. Having a cut-off time for stopping using these devices of an hour and a half before bed is ideal. We should also limit other forms of electric light after sunset.

●    2     A glass or two of wine, or a sip or two of brandy, for many is a pre-bed routine. But despite what you might think, experts say that a glass of wine before bedtime actually doesn’t improve our sleep. Alcohol has a strange effect in that it makes it easier to fall asleep, but it makes it harder to stay asleep and it affects the quality of our sleep.

●Be consistent. It may be tempting to stay up late on Friday or Saturday.    3    This helps to reduce social mismatch between when we sleep during the working week compared with the weekend. The bigger the social mismatch, the more harmful it is for health.

●Have a pre-bed routine. Having a pre-bed routine helps signal to our bodies that it’s time for sleep. Activities such as reading a book or having a bath can help to mentally relax and get us ready for bed. Parents do this with their child to get good sleep. They have a set routine where they feed, bath their children and put them into bed.    4    

●Make your bedroom a place of rest. Easily portable computers and phones have transformed our bedrooms from sanctuaries (保护区) of rest into places of entertainment. But if we want to boost our chances of a good night’s rest, we need to reclaim them for sleep.    5     Keeping your bedroom cool is also important because it’s easier for our bodies to sleep in colder temperatures.

A．Avoid a night wine.

B．Get a good night’s sleep.

C．If so, you’re likely to be disturbing your sleep.

D．There’s nothing around them and then they read them a story.

E．To do this we should keep phones and computers in other rooms.

F．Our body clocks are designed to follow the rise and fall of our sleep.

G．However, ideally we should go to bed at similar times throughout the week.

The number of children who are overweight is growing rapidly in China,     1     becomes a big concern for their parents. When it comes to the problem of obesity, the reasons are not far     2     (seek). One of the main factors that     3     for the problem is children’s love for junk food that adds too much fat and sugar     4     whoever takes it. For those who are particularly overweight, parents can set strict limits on what the children eat and cut     5     fat and sugar in the meal. Another factor is children’s lack of exercise in everyday life. Parents always find their kids     6    (lie) on the sofa rather than work out     7    (regular). To make matters worse, the fact that many children stay up late into night also contributes to the problem.
