Psychiatry,looked at smartphone use among 1,043 students between the ages of 18 and 30at Kings College London.Researchers asked the students to complete two questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use,in person and online.Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children,nearly 40%of the university students qualified as addicted to smartphones,the study found.“Our findings are in agreement with other reported studies in young adult populations globally,which are in the range of 30-45%,”lead author Sei Yon Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study.Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone addiction,with use after 1 a.m.increasing a 3-times risk,the authors wrote.Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality,the study found.That foils in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep,reduced sleep duration(睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness.Thats likely because use of smartphones close to bedtime has been shown to delay the bodys normal sleep-and-wake clock.In fact,the No.1 rule is no computers,cell phones,and ipads in bed and at least one hour beforebed Dr.Vsevolod Polotsky,who directs sleep basic research,said in a recent interview.Thats because any LED light source from electronics(电子设备)may further hold back melatonin(褪黑激素)levels,Polotsky said.Melatonin is often referred to as a sleep hormone,because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.“This is a cross-sectional study,and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause of reduced sleep quality,said Bob Patton,a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey,via email.4.How did Sei Yon Sohns team begin their study?A.By publishing researching papers.B.By responding to others concern.C.By collecting firsthand data.D.By turning to related experts.5.What did the study find about sleep quality and smartphone use?A.30-45%of the university students are addicted to smartphones.B.High use of smartphones is related to poor sleep quality.C.Overuse of smartphones leads to shorter sleep duration.D.Use after 1 a.m.will result in smartphone addiction.6.What is Polotskys opinion on electronics?A.We should stop using them an hour before going to sleep.B.LED light source from them will delay normal sleep-and-wake clock.C.Reduced sleep quality has nothingto do with them.D.No electronics should be used in bed at any time.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Say No to Smartphones B.Sleep Quality Can Be Improved C.LED Light Source Causes Great Harm D.Smartphone Addiction Ruins Sleep C“Tell her,”I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine.She folded my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt.I smiled at the young cashier who had a butterfly knot tied to her black ponytail(马尾辫).My daughter was right when shed whispered to me,“Her hair is so pretty.”“Tell her,”I repeated witha gentle push.My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist.The cashier looked down at my daughter,her expression showing a little concern.“My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.”I explained.The cashiers face lit up.“You do?”This led my little one out of her hiding place.She looked up and nodded.“Thank you so much!You made my day,”the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights.My daughter returned it with a shining smile of her own.As I walked out of the store,holding my daughters hand,I stole a glance back at the young woman.Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had:been when we first entered her line.After loading my groceries in the trunk,I climbed into the drivers seat.It was then that my daughter made a declaration,“Mom,I think Im going to start telling everyone when I like their hair.”“You should,honey.”And she did.She still does.Its a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair,or nails,or shirt,or shoes.To be honest,I think she even does so more than me.And its one of my favorite things about this girl.She learned,at a very young age,that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them,you can draw out the beauty of human connection.8.Why was the authors daughter nervous in the store?A.She was frightened of the cashier.B.She was too shy to express herself.C.She was unable to pay the groceries.D.She was unhappy to greet a stranger.9.What made the cashier more energetic in her work?A.The praise from a little girl.B.The support of the customers.C.The competition environment.D.The understanding of a mother.10.What does the author think of her daughter now?A.Kind and independent.B.Lively and cheerful.C.Careful and generous.D.Smart and proud.11.What is the best title of the text?A.The Beauty Of Good Manners B.The Power In Raising Others Up C.A Girls New Way OutOf Trouble D.A Mothers Love For Her Daughter D The outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia(NCP)has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person.However,a new trend has been on the rise:many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile,a professional big data intelligence services provider in China,the audience for Douyin,Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday,up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home,away from their friends and loved ones,people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world.For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience,which will give them the sense of being“in the moment”.Even as viewers,they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos,Im not simply an audience member,but also an active part of the program.That gives me a sense of engagement,”an Internet user named Wang Hao told Peoples Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun,but also a new tool for many businesses.Affected by the pandemic,many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores.To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times,many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung,a leading maker of small kitchen appliances,is a good example.The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products,but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health.“The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,”Kang Li,who oversees the companys livestreaming unit,told China daily.“Its a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not,livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.12.What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A.To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B.To report data on the development of livestreaming in
