CLimiting kids recreational screen time to less than two hours a day, along with enough sleep and physical activity, is associated with improved cognition, according to a study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health. The study included about 4,500 US children aged 8 to 11 and measured their habits against the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. It found that 51% of the children got the remended nine to eleven hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, 37% met the recreational screen time limit of two hours or less per day, while 18% met the physical activity remendation of at least 60 minutes of accumulated physical activity a day. Only 5% of the children in the study met all three remendations; 30% met none at all. The researchers found that as each remendation was met by a participant, there was a positive association with global cognition, which includes memory, attention, processing speed and language. Those who met all three had the most superior global cognition, followed by those meeting the sleep and screen time remendation and finally the screen time remendation alone, according to the study. Other organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics have guidelines in place to help with the management of childrens screen time. The organization suggests putting realistic rules or limits in place for how long your children are on their screens, knowing who they are talking to and what they are doing. The amount of remended screen time depends on the age of the child. Besides, parents should also make sure to encourage physical activity and have bedroom rules such as creating tech-free zones. 28. Who are the target readers of this passage? A. Researchers. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Children.29. What is the main idea of this passage? A. A study on childrens screen time is published. B. US children fail to meet movement guidelines. C. Organizations are concerned about childrens cognition. D. Limitation on childrens screen time is linked to better cognition.30. According to the passage, which of the following might contributes least to cognition? A. Screen time limit. B. Sleep hours. C. Physical activity time. D. Sleep and screen time .31. Why does the American organization suggest creating tech-free zones”? A. To make sure children have enough physical playtime. B. To make sure children have enough sleep time. C. To make sure children have recreational time. D. To protect children against radiation.DAt one time it was the dream of many little girls to bee a nurse. Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages, large enough to threaten the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.What has bee of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the workforce, but their options have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as“merely a nurse”. Teachers many be also at fault. Many high school students are actually away from nursing, told by teachers that they are“too bright to be a nurse”.Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually deadly diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the ing ten years.32. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. How teachers have influenced their students.B. What has caused nurse shortage.C. How nurses have been looked down upon.D. Why women have chosen many different jobs.33.
