Understanding Graphics(图表)

    When we are reading, we often see one or two graphics in a text. Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there? What information do they give? Do they help with our reading and understanding?

    Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers. Writers use graphics to get the readers' attention and give them some particular(特别的)information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that it's easy to understand when we take a quick look.

    It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show than to tell and they may also be easier to understand. Graphics are just the right things that give a great deal of information but it doesn't take much time to read and understand.

    The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you. Sometimes, numbers and percentages(百分比) are also given to go with the words to explain things.

    Now look at the graphic on the right. It is how a researcher used a graphic to show the number of hours spent sleeping by British teenagers each day. Can you understand it?

          

(1)、Which of the following is mentioned as a graphic?
A、A letter. B、A poem. C、A map. D、A name card.
(2)、The writer thinks graphics are important because ____________.
A、less space is taken on a page B、a picture is worth a thousand words C、a lot of time can be saved for writers D、many things are easier to show than to tell
(3)、When we read a graphic, we should ______.
A、find out if there are any tables in it B、put the information in the right order C、count how many words there are in it D、look at the picture and the words together
(4)、The graphic given in the passage tells us that ________.
A、5 British teenagers sleep for 8-9 hours every day B、Chinese 18-year-olds spend 5-6 hours sleeping every day C、17% of the British teenagers sleep for 3-4 hours each day D、42% of the Chinese teenagers spend 6-7 hours sleeping each day
举一反三
 根据短文内容,回答下列问题。

Have you ever unlocked a Hello Bike? Have you ever used Meituan to order a meal? Have you ever enjoyed watching the short-form videos on Douyin? Well, if no one had invented the cell phone, none of these would have been possible.

Luckily, someone did invent the cell phone. That person is Martin Cooper, and he did that 51 years ago, in 1973.

Cooper used to work for Motorola. In the 1970s, the company was competing with AT&T, a larger company, to make a cell phone system. Cooper didn't think Motorola's product was good enough. He didn't like AT&T's idea of a car phone, either. The man wanted to give the world something new. He wanted to make it possible for people to talk on their phones anywhere.

It took Cooper and his team 90 days to design (设计) the world's first cell phone. The product was called DynaTAC. People could talk on it for 25 minutes before its battery (电池) died. The phone's short battery life wasn't a big problem, Cooper once joked. Why? Well, the phone was too heavy (1, 100 grams) to hold in hand for too long!

On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the world's first public cell phone call. He called Joel Engel, an AT&T manager. Cooper told Engel, "I'm calling you on a cell phone. It's a real, handheld cell phone." On the other end of the line, there was only silence.

Cell phones have changed a lot since that first call. They're much smaller and can do many more things. Cooper, now 96, is surprised at the progress. But the man has also kept thinking about life in the future. "I must keep learning all my life," he says. "Or I'll lose the ability to learn-that would be terrible!"
