the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games,according to anotice issued by Chinas National Press and Publication Administration.Online game companies are required toprovide services to minors from8 to 9 p.m.on Fridays,Saturdays,Sundays and legal holidays as a way tosafeguard their physical and mental health.Children are playing more and more online games these days.Is it timeto limit their online gaming time?What role do parents have?Readers share their opinions.RizlaredOnline games are addictive,but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible mannerthen it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this,parents need to set examples for not being glued to theirphones.Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.AndrewGood policy.By limiting time spent on online games,kids can spend time doing more useful things to developtheir potential.They can go outside and run,jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playingwith a smart phone.AdamIt is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones.Most parents can hardly set and enforce thetime limit for its daily usage.Some forcibly take away their cellphones,but it will ruin trust and relationship.Evenworse,it will make their kids hate them.PinkExcessive(过度的）gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on bothphysical and mental health.The gaming industry should not put profit-flaking interests as its priority(优先事项).They should act in a socially responsible way toprovide an environment for children to ensure their well-being anddevelopment.LaurenThere would be a loophole(漏洞).Children could use their parents or other adults IDs to avoid real-nameregistration,thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect.Parents ly need to strengthen guidance andsupervision to keep their children from gaming addiction.1.What should kids do according to Andrew?A.Play online games.B.Play with a smart phone.C.Study all the time.D.Go in for outside activities.2.What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?A.Pay attention to its profit.B.Focus on kids health.C.Be

senior,went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and thenback home.Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.Sutton said hed leave school at 3:30 pm,then walk miles to his job at the restaurant.After his work,whichusually lasted six to eight hours,he walked home,sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December.“The young man wasinsistently in a rush walking to work,saying I cant be late,”Myers said.“He begged me to give him a ride.I toldhim I could take him as far as I was going.I began to create small talk along the way.It wasrevealedto me that hisname was Jayden,12th grader,worked 40 hours a week,walked 5 miles to work immediately after school,got offat 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didnt offer a ride.”After dropping Sutton off,Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears.“He was smiling ingood spirits and thats a child worth blessing,”she told Fox News.So,Myers shared Suttons story on theGoFundMe page,which raised more than$9,000 from 186 donors.She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price ofthe vehicle to meet the budget.4.Why did Sutton work so hard in his spare time?A.To gain working experience.B.To pay for his education.C.To own a car.D.To support his family.5.What difficulty did Sutton have in his work at the restaurant?A.He worked longer than other workers.B.His work was too tiring.C.His job was much less paid.D.He had to walk to work.6.What does the underlined word“revealed”in paragraph 4 mean?A.Known.B.Attached.C.Believed.D.Limited.7.What do we know about the money donated online?A.It could buy more than a new car.B.It was not enough to buy a new car.C.It was given to Myers to buy herself a new car.D It mainly came from a car sales manager.CThere is an old army joke about an officer who asks some soldiers whether any of them are interested inmusic.When four hands go up,the officer says,“Right,men.You can carry this grand piano down to the officersmess.”Job recruitment has become more complicated since that story first did the rounds.Todays careers require alot more than just raw music but that sometimes makes jobs hard to define.An unfortunate result is a form of“adjective inflation”in recruitment ads as employers attempt to make routine tasks sound exciting.Candidates must sometimes wonder whether they are applying for a 9-to-5-role or to become a member ofthe Marvel“Avengers”.On Indeed,a job-bunting website,a bar was recently looking for bartenders who arepeople focused,quality-driven,and have superhero hospitality powers.The ability to give customers the correctchange was not mentioned.Another British company advertised for“a call-centre ninja,a superhero in people,a Job description whichsounds a little over-the top for what was in fact a role at an insurance company in Isleworth.In case you think thatad was not typical.Indeed also had jobs demanding“ninja-like attention to detail.Short of turning up for theinterview dressed head-to-toe in black,and then sneaking up behind the managing director at his desk,it is hardto see how candidates could show their ninja qualities.Not all companies require candidates to possess the qualities of a ninja,of course.Some require applicants tobe passionate.The Bluewater shopping mall in southeastEnglandwas looking for“passionate sales-driven brandambassadors”while“passionate crew members”were needed at a bakery in westLondonfor a wage of just 8.23an hour.In fact,passion is pretty hard to keep consistently for 40 hours a week,month after month.Job applicantsshould find some information from the kind of ads that companies place.If a job ad talks about passion orsuperheroes,run away faster than a speeding Batmobile.Being a ninja should be reserved for teenage mutantninja turtles.8.Why does the author mention the joke in Paragraph 1?A.To show that officers enjoy playing tricks on soldiers.B.To introduce the topic of overstated job ads.C.To explain the origin of complex job ads.D.To describe soldiers everyday life.9.Which of the following offers a job demanding ninja qualities?A.The bar.B.The bakery.C.The insurance company.D.The Bluewater shopping mall.10.What does the author say about the ads requiring passion?A.They are unrealistic.B.They are typical of want ads.C.They are appealing to applicants.D.They are uncommon on Indeed.11.How does the author sound when talking about todays job ads?A.Curious.B.Hesitant.C.Humorous.D.Sympathetic.DPreventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time,given my family history of heart disease.So lastsummer,I travelled toBolivia.The natives,called the Tsimane,were reported to have the healthiest hearts in theworld.I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.Getting to the Tsimane wasnt easy.They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks.We finally found one of the villages at sunset.That night,we set up our tents in the middle of the village.Thatchedhuts surrounded us,with no electricity or modem conveniences.At first,I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat.However,I found food such as rice and com madeup nearly 70%of their diet.The food was not processed,lacking added sugars or salts.During my stay there,I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids.I found theTsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours.Men spent lots of time tracking animals.Fanning and gathering,mostly done by children and women,were all-day affairs.I also got a clear idea of how they rested.As soon as the sun went down,people returned to their huts andwent to sleep.And with the call of the cock in the morning,another day began.The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS.Various factors,like animalattacks and infections,bring down the lifespan.But up until the day they die,they are often very healthy.Whileheart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day,the Tsimane remindus that wealth doesnt necessarily buy health.12.Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?A.He dreams of becoming a doctor.B.He wants to teach others about the topic.C.His family members encourage him to do so.D.He was born with a high risk of heart disease.13.Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?A.Housing,food and cooperation.B.Diet,activity and rest.C.Physical work,social life and lifespan.D.Group size,family history and consumption14.What was the Tsimane s sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?A.Natural sound.B.Routine activity.C.Animal behaviour.D.Natural light.15.What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia?A.Take in less sugar and salt.B.Stand less and walk more.C.Eat white meat instead of red meat.D.Live in the middle of the community.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Many people want to read
