That time includes watching videos, chatting with friends and using social media. 6CAt night, when I can't sleep, I can use my phone for up to five hours," she said, noting she checks her phone countless times from morning until night. She even checks it while in class.Tyas goes to the University of Indonesia, where a team of students recently developed a device meant to fight phone addiction. The students spent three months creating the device, which can help internet users like Tyas diminish time they spend looking at their phones.Inventor Irfan Budi Satria led the development team. The device is called “Nettox"， which combines the words “internet" and "detox （排毒）Users wear it on their arm. The device has a sensor that measures hemoglobin （红蛋白）oxygen levels and changes to the heart rate called HRV. Studies have found that using a mobile phone for long hours can lower HRV levels. The Nettox device makes a sound when HRV and blood oxygen levels fall, which reminds wearers to stop using their phones.For people between the ages of 18 and 25, the HRV should stay above 60. At a recent trial, Tyas' HRV reading was 44.Internet addiction is a growing social issue in Indonesia. In October, two teenagers were treated for their addiction to internet gaming, media reported.Irfan Budi Satria's team is working to improve Nettox's accuracy. HRV readings can change depending on whether the user is a man or woman, and what their body shape and health conditions are.The team aims to get a patent for their invention with the university by next year.

How did it become one of the world's great trading and financial centers? The strategy, explained Lee Kuan Yew, its first prime minister, was "to develop Singapore's only available natural resource: its people".Today Singapore's education system is considered the best in the world. The graduates of its best schools can be found scattered around the world's finest universities.The island-state has much to teach the world. But other countries are reluctant （不情愿的） pupils. One reason is that Singapore favors traditional method, with teachers leading the class. That seems not useful for children to learn for themselves.Yet Singapore shows that academic brilliance need not come at the expense of personal skills. In 2015 Singaporean students also came first in a new PISA ranking designed to look at cooperative problem-solving, scoring even better than they did in reading and science. They are also reported to be happy. Not content with its achievements, Singapore is now introducing reforms to improve creativity and reduce stress. This is a gradual education reform - the first of three lessons that Singapore offers the rest of the world.The second lesson is to accept Singapore's distinctive approach to teaching maths. It emphasizes a narrower but deeper curriculum, and seeks to ensure that a whole class progresses through the syllabus （教学大纲）.Struggling students get compulsory extra lessons to help them keep up.The third and most important lesson is to focus on developing excellent teachers. In Singapore, they get 100 hours of training a year to keep up to date with the latest techniques. The government pays them well, too.The system is hardly faultless. Other countries might wish to avoid Singapore's dividing of high and low-achievers into separate schools from the age of 12, which contributes to stress about exams. That is a pity. Education would be much better if more countries copied Singapore's homework.28. What did Lee Kuan Yew think contributed to Singapore's great development?A. Trading with other countries.B. Making full use of its people.C. Exploiting its natural resources.D. Introducing all kinds of talents.29. Why are other countries unwilling to learn from Singaporean?A. Its system is too advanced.B. Its method, seems not to be up to date.C. Their students are too independent.D. They are lack of challenging teachers.30. What's the key lesson of Singapore's education according to the text?A. Sticking to quick reforms.B. Adopting different syllabuses.C. Aiming at teachers' further training.C. Helping struggling students catch up.31. What's the author's attitude to Singapore's education on the whole?A. Supportive.B. Worried. C. Subjective.D. Uncertain.DMany cars in advertisements, exhibits and at car sales in the United States are red, blue or green but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver or gray.Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the car colors Americans choose do not show dirt as much as the colors of other cars. He says that means the owners wash their cars less, saving money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often, if at all.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says when white cars are sold by their owners, they often sell for higher amounts than cars of other colors. And he notes that white cars “absorb less energy" than cars of other colors. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas.Dan Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.Axalta says about 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. In South America, 10 percent of new cars sold are red.Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.Green has become less popular. Dan Benton notes that in the mid 1990s, “green was the most popular color in North America. Today, green is hard to find."Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color of their car - technology may let owners change their car's paint color anytime.32. According to Jackson, Americans favor cars of black mostly because they.A. stand washingB. don't look dirtyC. are environmentally friendlyD. aren't in need of cleaning often33. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. White cars.B. Black cars.C. Car sellers.D. Car makers.34. Who thinks that white seems to add the inside space of a car?A. Dan Benton.B. Jane Harrington.C. Australians.D. Chinese.35. What could be the most suitable title for the text?A. Cares Are Different in StyleB. Colors Increase a Car's PopularityC. What Are the Colors of Choice for Cars?D. What Type of Car Sells Well in the Market?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Cassini-Huygens space probe （探测器），which reached Saturn （土星）last week has sent back amazing photographs of the planet's famous rings viewed in ultraviolet light. 36 The different colors show exactly what the rings are. The red means the ring contains tiny pieces of rock and the blue and green is likely to be a mixture of water and frozen gases. 37 That's why it is so light and it could float on water - if a big enough ocean could be found!38 It aims to explore the planet and its rings and moons. It was launched in 1997 and its mission was to explore the "gas giant” planet, which is the furthest planet to be seen from the Earth without a telescope.Scientists say the spacecrafts four year tour of Saturn may tell them how the rings are formed. 39 The probe has sent back pictures of some of Saturn's moons, including Phoebe and Titan. Phoebe has a strange shape. 40 Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, is believed to be the only body in the solar system other than the Earth with liquid on the surface. The images of Phoebe and Titan look strangely like photos of the Earth and our own moon, taken decades ago by the earliest space missions.A. Saturn itself is made of gases.B. The pictures are hard to take in space.C. The probe is an international space project.D. They will discover more secrets about the spacecraft.E. The pictures show them in shades of blue, green and red.F. It will also study the plant's atmosphere and magnetic field.G.
