阅读短文,并按要求完成。   

    If you need to call your parents but your smartphone(智能手机) is not with you, can you remember their numbers? To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. _______, many of us can't because of the smartphone. What's more, people are not good at giving directions and face-to-face talks because of smartphones. Even when friends are having a meal together, it's common to play with their phones. Smartphones weaken(削弱) our skills in many ways.

    According to a study, Chinese people spend about 170 minutes on their smart phones every day. For students, spending much time on smartphones isn't good for their study. The study shows children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones get much worse grades in school tests than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes.

    It's true that the smartphone makes our lives easier. But many people also think spending too much time on it is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

    People make a new game called Forest. It lets users plant a seed that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes. During it, users can't use their phones, or the tree will die.

    There is a restaurant in the USA. It gives people a discount(折扣) if they don't play with their smartphones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said that he hoped it gave people a way to enjoy their meal and talk with friends and family.

(3)、写下第一段的主题句
(4)、完成句子

If people don't play with their smartphones during a meal in a restaurant in the USA, they will pay money than usual.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had time or money for it. But I've discovered a way to experience the thrill(兴奋,紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don't climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,
schools and camps have one.
You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I'm always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can't stop grinning. I did it! Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.
Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.

Hi, everyone, I'm Jane. Two years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don't have to worry about parking. You can leave it anywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket in the front, I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, and to anywhere.
I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the snow is heavy. Of course, you must be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem. One day I went shopping with my friends. But when I came back, I found that my bike's front wheel was missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks(锁).
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all the sitting down is making him fat and lazy. I like riding on my bicycle because I can exercise a lot and get much fresh air, and this makes me feel much younger.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Jane thinks a bicycle is __________ than a car if you live in a town.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} It's convenient to use a bicycle because you can ride it to anywhere and needn't worry about __________.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} When it is __________ in summer, Jane rides her bicycle.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} For short journey, Jane's husband doesn't want to wait for a bus. He would like to __________.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Jane can get a lot of __________ and fresh air, so she likes riding very much.

阅读下列短文,在空白处填入与短文内容相符的信息,完成阅读摘记。

    English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. One is not more correct than the other, but there are important differences between the two.

    Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.

    American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask "What did you do at the weekend?", but Americans usually say "on the weekend." In the United States people usually say "I've gotten a new car.", but in the UK they will say "I've just got a new car."

    The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word "tomato"—pronounced "to-mah-to" in British English—is a classic example of this.

    Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world. Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.

任务型阅读

    I am walking through the winter park where the trees stand cold and bare (光秃秃的). The yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Now, a group of women gather at the sides of a path. In the cold winter, they're moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (节奏). They are, of course, the dancing aunties.

    It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you're likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that annoyed me. That's because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won't see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.

    Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (头条新闻). Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. Most of them are middle-aged. They finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.

    All in all, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.
