What do you remember about your childhood? I have good memories of exploring the fields near my house and riding my bike around the park．Today,children don’t spend enough time in the flesh air．Many of them fix their eyes on a screen either on a computer,or a TV——they seem to be living in a virtual world．They have lost touch with nature．
Now 400 organizations in the UK are encouraging children to have some“wild time”．They want kids to exchange a，t least 3 0 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside．The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to 1eam and keep fit too．Andy Simpson，who is part of the campaign，says：“An extra 30 minutes of wild time every day for all under 1 2一year-olds in me UK would be the equivalent(同等)of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors．”Even if the kids live in a city,they can go on adventures in the garden or the park．However,children often need a helping hand from mum and dad．They need to be shown what to do and where to go．
So despite the complex world that young people grow up in now,it seems that going back to
basics and experiencing “ nature’s playground” is what modem children need．Andy Simpson adds：“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids，development，independence and creativity,by giving wild time a go”．David Bond from Project Wild Thing says“we need to make more space for wild time in children’S daily routine，freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”．
5．What does the author think about the present kids?
A．They depend on their parents too much．
B.They don’t get close to nature．
C.They spend too much time playing outside．
D.They’re eager to play with their parents．
6．In the last paragraph“wonder product”probably refers to_____．
A. nature’s playground B．helping hand C.daily routine D.complex world
7．What suggestion does David Bond give us?
A．Prevent kids from playing computer games．
B．Help children master basic skills．
C．Teach kids how to face difficulties．
D. Let children have more wild time．
8．what do we know about the author7 ．
A. He disliked his childhood full of study and exams．
B．He often went to school by riding on a bicycle．
C．He had a happy childhood by exploring the outdoors．
D．He showed a great interest in watching TV．
Most people recognize that there are many benefits of learning a foreign language．Sclentltic studies have even shown that learning a new language helps to keep memories sharp and naturally improves overall brain function．
But do you know that you can learn a new language in as little as 1 0 days?The Pimsleur
Approach to learning new languages helps users pick up new languages quickly．Even the FBI has bought the Pimsleur Approach．
Dr．Pimsleur devoted his life and career to learning languages and recognized that effective communication in any language depends on mastery of a relatively limited number of words．And，trying to learn too many words at first can actually slow the language retention(保留)process．However，once this“core(核心)vocabulary”is mastered and used constantly，it speeds up language learning．The Pimsleur Approach aims each lesson at teaching you to use the core vocabulary of the language，So you can speak the most in the least amount of time．It’S not how many words you know，but rather，which words you can use．
Each Pimsleur Approach lesson has been scientifically planned to rapidly lock language
material into your brain after just one listen．Just sit back and listen while the audio does the work for you．
The Pimsleur Approach Programs
The entire Pimsleur Approach is what language learning should be：quick，fun and easy．
You’ll absorb your new language effortlessly without any reading，writing or computer use．

10．For a young couple joining me Pimsleur language programs now，theycan save____ in total．
A．$9．95 B．$10 C．$19．95．，D．$20
11．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To give some practical advice． B．To introduce a research report．
C．To increase the programs’customers．D．To share a learning experience．
Some colors that people see late at night could cause signs of the condition mental health experts call clinical depression(临床抑郁症、)．That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings．They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression．
Doctors use the words clinical depression to describe severe form of depression．Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities，low energy levels and thoughts of death．
In the new study，American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠)to different colors．The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal，which means they sleep during the day and are active at night．The animals were separated into 4 groups．One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their nighttime period．Another group was placed in blue light，a third group slept in white light．While a fourth was put in red light．After four weeks，the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank．They found that the more depressed animals drank the 1east amount of water．
Randy Nelson，at Ohio State University，says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed．“What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep
interruptions at all but they did have messed up circadian clock(生物钟)genes and they did show depressive evidence but if they were in the dim red light，they did not．’’He says there’S a lot of blue in white light．This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters see red 1ight or darkness．
12．From the text we know that____made the hamsters feel depressed．
A．the amount of the water B.the color of the light
C．the loss of pleasure D．the level of energy
13．What was the purpose of the experiment on hamsters?
A．To show how well they slept．
B．To see how much sugary water they drank
C．To explain why they liked dark colors．
D．To find out what caused the depression on them．
