little devices seem to grow on the heads of the gen-90sthey might lead to mp3, mp4 or mp101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears martian languagethey have created their own code-like online languageits a mixture of english, japanese and chinese that perhaps only martians can understandthis is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers self-portraitsaying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is usual for this generationa little bit of narcissism （自恋） never hurts anyoneit helps them reflect a little on their own livesbut be aware of the risks of posting private photos online text-messaging they can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speakthis is a generation that respects efficiencyhowever, oral communication is important and will never go out of style56according to the text, the writer will choose _ as a good example to the gen-90ali hua likes music and always wearing ipodbzhang chao is not only an imaginative boy but do everything efficientlyclily is a shy girl and she doesnt like making friendsdfangfang likes being taken photos and often posting them on line57according to this passage, which is false?anot all teens are cautious about posting photos bthey type their mobile phones so fast that it can catch the speed of speakingcthe gen-90s have a preference for some music players, and even regard them as a necessary part of lifedthey dont use the cool and complex online language in formal writing58the main idea of the passage is about_athe gen-90s happy life bthe difference between the gen-80s and the gen-90scthe gen-90s unique lifestyle and some practical warningsdthe similarities between the gen-80s and the gen-90sbthree quarters of britains parents are too busy to read bedtime stories to their children，according to a study. the study was carried out by citv to start their new childrens show bookaboo，which is designed to encourage anyone to pick up a book and read with their children at any time of the day.worryingly，the study showed that only three percent of fathers now find the time to read to the kids compared to 89 percent of mothers. lucy goodman，creator of bookaboo，said，“its important for young boys to be able to share a book with dads，granddads or male carers and it can be fun and rewarding，too.” of the dads who said they didnt read to their kids,87 percent blamed work while more than a third said they were too tired. while 89 percent of mums said they did read to their children，more than half of them said cleaning distracted (使分心) them and 49 percent were distracted by other household things.researchers also found parents are now relying heavily on other people to lend a hand with reading to their children with grandparents doing the most，followed by sisters and brothers，aunts and uncles. while 95 percent of parents read to their children at some point，only five percent read to their children during the day. more than one in ten said they read every couple of weeks or less，and five percent could not remember the last time they shared a book.the study found parents also seem content with allowing their children to immerse (使沉浸) themselves in tv programs or playing computer games rather than reading.exgoalkeeper david seaman，who is a dad of two，has been a guest in bookaboo.he says，“i think its important that fathers do read to their children because its a special time. sometimes my two children will come to listen to the same bookits a magical moment and i advise fathers just to try it.”59we can know from the passage that bookaboo_.ais a daily show bis an adults showcis a popular show daims to encourage people to read to their children60according to the study，fathers dont read to their kids mainly because_.athey are too busy with work bthey dont think it necessary to do socthey are distracted by household things dthey like to play computer games in their free time61which group of people helped parents read to the kids the most?aaunts and uncles. bgrandparents. cchildrens carers. dchildrens sisters and brothers.62according to the last paragraph，david seaman_.ais a goalkeeper now bhas only one child cis the creator of bookaboo dthinks it is great to read to childrencoffice workers should know that long periods of sitting at your desk may be a killer. scientists have shown a new threat from this lifestyle that they call “muscular inactivity (肌肉迟钝)”sitting still for long periods of time leads to the buildup of substances (物质) in the blood that are harmful to health. and exercise alone wont drive them away.millions of people spend their days between car，office desk and the sofa in front of the tv. while the bad influences are well rocognized，it has been thought that they can be changed by regular trips to the gym or swimming pool.now researchers say that is not enough. in addition to regular exercise，office workers need to keep moving while they work，by making regular trips to the printer，coffee machine or to chat with workmates.elin ekblombak，an expert on health，says research shows long periods of sitting and lack (缺乏) of “whole body muscular movement” are strongly linked to obesity，heart disease and cancer，and a higher risk of death，regardless of (不管) whether they take enough exercise.“everyone knows about the health benefits of regular exercise. but what we havent realized before is that longperiod sitting down carries an extra risk that cannot be dealt with by taking exercise，” dr ekblombak said，adding that sitting still should be recognized as a risk to health.“it is important to have a fiveminute break from desk work every 45 minutes. dont email workmateswalk across the office to give them the message. take a coffee break or put the printer in the next room. i am a desk worker and i try to do it. it is not difficult but sometimes you get lost in your work and you forget about it.”however，more studies are needed to confirm the ill effects of sitting for too long and ways of fighting them. but at present they conclude that “keep moving” should be added to the advice to “keep exercising.”63nowadays，many office workers wrongly think that_.along periods of sitting has bad influences on thembregular exercise benefits them after long periods of sittingcthey are living a lifestyle called “muscular inactivity”dits unfair for them to sit in the office for too long64what does the author suggest office workers should do?achat with workmates often. bsend emails instead of chatting.ckeep moving in the office regularly. dtake more exercise after work.65the last paragraph suggests that the result of the study is_.ascientific buncertain cunbelievable dconvincing66what would be the best title for the passage?aa new threat ：longperiod sitting boffice workers should keep exercisingctaking exercise benefits a lot dkeep moving，it could save your life das is known to all, colors appear in every language to express peoples feeling and thoughtsthen, what is the situation in american english?red is a hot coloramericans
