Happiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young people's life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University(SDSU).
To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with a variety of data from the Monitoring the Future(MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U.S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their smartphone, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.
On average they found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices—playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting—were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions.
“The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,” Twenge said. “Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising—two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.”
Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness in U.S. teens. Specifically, young people's life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the decline in in-person social activities and sleep.
4.Which method did Twenge's team use for the study
A.Calculating students' happiness. 　　　
B.Asking students certain questions.
C.Analyzing data from a survey. 　　　
D.Doing experiments on screen time.
5.How does the author develop the finding of the study in Paragraph 3
A.By making a comparison. 　　　B.By giving an example.
C.By making an argument. 　　　D.By introducing a concept.
6.What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A.To draw a conclusion from the study. 　　　
B.To offer some advice to the readers.
C.To prove social activities' importance. 　　　
D.To support the researchers' finding.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Quitting Phones Equals Happiness　　　
B.Screen Time Should Be Banned
C.Teens' Lives Have Changed Sharply　　　
D.Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier
Ⅲ.七選五
While it may seem like everyone surfs the web these days, there is a fine line between casually checking your social media pages and having a full-blown(具有所有特征的) Internet addiction. If you fear that you may lose interest in other aspects of your life because you prefer to be on the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. 　1　
Admit you are at risk of an addiction.
More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet. You are not the only one with this problem; it is becoming more and more common and more and more well known. 　2　
Set aside limited time for computer use.
Ensure not to turn the computer on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you can see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it. 　3　 If you have a desktop PC, try not to go near it or put something over it like a sheet.
Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts.
If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside. This will distract you from the computer. 　4　
Use an alarm clock or timer.
Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get off the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop. 　5　
A.Make a small list of what you want to do within that time.
B.When the computer is not looking at you, you are less likely to use it.
C.This can be programmed to shut down your computer after the set time.
D.Luckily, there are ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer.
E.This will stop you from using the Internet so often or going on to another page.
F.If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends or ask for help in person.
G.Do not be embarrassed; find others with the same problem and help each other beat it.

◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了一些以中國為主題的最有趣的播客。
1.A　推理判斷題。根據第一段可知,無論你是在中國很多年還是剛到中國,關于這個令人驚嘆的國家,你總有更多的東西需要了解,為了滿足你永無止境的求知欲,我們收集了一些最有趣的中國播客。由此可推知,這些播客的觀眾是在中國的外國人,故選A。
2.B　細節理解題。根據The China History Podcast部分中的“Topics like the history of Tang poetry”可知,The China History Podcast會談論古詩,故選B。
3.C　細節理解題。根據The Wasai Show部分中的前兩句可知,The Wasai Show由來自墨西哥的Ne to Trevino和當地華人Alice He主持,在每一集里,從聽眾那里收集關于一個話題的故事,并由兩位喜劇演員以有趣的方式分享。故選C。
【高頻詞匯】　1.awesome adj.令人驚嘆的;很好的
2.analyse v.分析　3.aim v.力求達到;力爭做到
4.essential adj.必不可少的;非常重要的　5.aspect n.方面
6.section n.部分

4.present v.呈現　5.cover v.包括　6.color n.趣味;樂趣
長難句
原句　The show has a lot of unknown and interesting history lessons that help provide more color as to why China is the way it is.
分析　本句為主從復合句。that引導定語從句,修飾先行詞lessons;why引導賓語從句,作介詞短語as to的賓語;在賓語從句中,“it is”為省略了that的定語從句,修飾先行詞way。
譯文　這個節目有很多未知而有趣的歷史經驗,有助于為解釋為什么中國是現在這個樣子提供更多的趣味。

◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。一項探索年輕人生活滿意度和花在屏幕上的時間之間的關系的新研究表明,幸福不是一部溫暖的手機,沉迷于屏幕設備的青少年更不快樂。
4.C　細節理解題。根據第二段第一句中的“To research this link...dealt with a variety of data from the Monitoring the Future(MtF) study”可知,為了研究這一聯系,Twenge與圣地亞哥州立大學的Gabrielle Martin和佐治亞大學的W. Keith Campbell一起處理了來自“監測未來”研究的數據。由此可知,Twenge 的團隊通過分析一項調查的數據的方式來進行這項研究。故選C。
5.A　細節理解題。根據第三段可知,通過研究發現,花更多時間在屏幕設備前的青少年不如花更多時間在非屏幕活動上的青少年快樂。由此可知,作者是通過作比較的方式來闡述研究結果的。故選A。
6.D　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness in U.S. teens. Specifically, young people's life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012.”可知,我們很容易發現屏幕設備隨著時間的推移而增加的同時,所報告的美國青少年的幸福感卻普遍下降,尤其是在2012年后,年輕人的生活滿意度和幸福感急劇下降。由此可知,最后一段的內容主要是為了支持研究人員的發現。故選D。
7.D　主旨大意題。根據第一段中的“Happiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young people's life satisfaction and screen time.”及對研究的具體介紹可知,文章主要介紹了一項研究發現——那些沉迷于電子屏幕的青少年明顯更不快樂。故選D。
【高頻詞匯】　1.according to...據……所示;根據
2.link n.聯系,關聯　3.satisfaction n.滿意,滿足　4.deal with處理;對待　5.invest v.投入(時間、精力等);投資
6.amount n.數量　7.decline vi.下降
【差距詞匯】　1.representative adj.典型的;有代表性的
2.interaction n.交流;互動;相互作用
長難句
原句　On average they found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices—playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting—were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions.
分析　本句為主從復合句。that引導賓語從句,其中有兩個who引導的定語從句,分別修飾teens和those,“playing computer...video chatting”解釋青少年花更多時間在屏幕設備前的具體方式,like為介詞,舉例說明非屏幕活動。
譯文　平均來看,他們發現,在屏幕設備前花費更多時間的青少年——玩電腦游戲、使用社交媒體、發短信和視頻聊天——不如那些在體育、閱讀報紙和雜志及面對面社交互動等非屏幕活動上投入更多時間的青少年快樂。
Ⅲ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。本文主要介紹了避免沉迷互聯網的方法。
1.D　過渡句。根據上一句中的“you may be on your way to an Internet addiction”可知,你可能即將沉迷互聯網。結合下文提到的避免沉迷互聯網的方法可推知,D項(幸運的是,有辦法避免你在電腦前過你的生活)承上啟下。
2.G　細節句。上文提到對互聯網上癮的人越來越多,這種情況越來越常見,你不是唯一有這個問題的人。G項(不要覺得尷尬;找到有相同問題的人,互相幫助,共同解決它)呼應上文,提出了解決的辦法。
3.B　細節句。上句“Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it.”講到當你不用電腦時,試著把蓋子蓋上。B項(當電腦不看著你時,你就不太可能去使用它)介紹了這樣做的好處,符合邏輯。
4.F　細節句。上文提到如果你周末有空,給你的朋友們打電話,邀請他們到外面去,這樣你的心思就會從電腦上移開,這是介紹在周末的做法。F項(如果你在工作日有問題,給你的朋友們打電話或親自去求助)介紹了在工作日的做法,符合邏輯。
5.C　細節句。根據上一句“Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop.”可知,可以在你的電腦桌面上創建一個關機定時器,C項(這可以被預設成在設置時間之后關閉你的電腦)符合邏輯,上文中的shutdown timer是關鍵詞。
【高頻詞匯】　1.at risk of...冒……的風險　2.common adj.常見的　3.distract v.使分心;轉移(注意力)
4.avoid v.避免　5.embarrassed adj.窘迫的,尷尬的,害羞的　6.beat v.解決(問題),戰勝
【差距詞匯】　1.alternatively adv.或者;要不
2.shutdown n.關閉
長難句
原句　If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you can see every day.
分析　本句為主從復合句。“If you have a laptop”為If引導的條件狀語從句,主句中有兩個that引導的定語從句。
譯文　如果你擁有一臺筆記本電腦,確保把它放在你能記住但是不是每天都能見到的地方。
