Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: R U awake? Brandon s use of technology doesn t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it s no surprise that when he isn t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten. Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. If youve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not? media expert Cheryl Olson says. Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. It s a matter of balance, says Olson. Youve got to work on it. Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. It s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, says Rideout. With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. Kids should try, adds Rideout. But parents might have to step in sometimes. 56. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices? A. Because more electronic devices are available to them. B. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before. C. Because they have less other activities. D. Because they have less homework to do.57. It is known from the passage that _. A.

A. kids should do homework while surfing the Internet B. kids should do homework in a place without disturbance C. kids should spend more time on homework D. kids should have more homework than before60. The underlined phrase in check in the last paragraph can be replaced by _. A. in order B. in store C. in sight D. in control B 40 years ago, the community of Seneca Falls, New York, decided to create a hall of fame for women. The town was the birthplace of the women s rights movement. In 1848, 300 women and men gathered in Seneca Falls for the first Women s Rights Convention. Among them were feminist leaders Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. The delegates passed a declaration calling for voting rights for women, among other demands. 72 years later the nineteenth amendment to the United States Constitution gave women the right to vote. In 1969, the people of Seneca Falls wanted to honor the women who took part in the struggle. So they established the National Women s Hall of Fame. 10 years later, the group raised enough money to buy a historic bank building to house the Hall of Fame. There are more than two hundred-women in the National Women s Hall of Fame today. They include teachers, doctors, artists and athletes. There are also pilots, social activists, comedians, politicians, poets and builders. The National Women s Hall of Fame announced ten new members on March second to honor National Women s History Month, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in October this year. One of them is Louise Bourgeois, a 97 years old artist in New York City, whose best known works are huge sculptures of spiders. Her art has been exhibited in major museum collections around the world. Another new member of the Hall of Fame has been fighting to help victims of abuse for more than 30 years. Growing up in a violent home, Susan Kelly-Dreiss started her career by helping to set up a shelter for abused women. Later she helped gain passage of the first law against domestic violence in the state of Pennsylvania. Now, Susan Kelly-Dreiss works on the issue at the national level. Susan Solomon is an international leader in atmospheric science. She developed the theory explaining how and why the ozone (臭氧) hole happens over Antarctica. She also got some of the first chemical measurements that showed man-made chlorofluorocarbons ( 氯氟化碳) caused the hole. Susan Solomon served as one of the leaders of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This group shared the Nobel Peace Prize with former American Vice-President Al Gore in 2007. Other new members include Emma Lazarus, the great 19th century Jewish poet. Her famous poem is on the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.
