Or do you love the ocean and sea, diving and racing with lovely dolphins? With heavy burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. Even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with computer games or watching TV. How to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.The newly formed Wild Network a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and into fields, woods and parks.Organizers say it is the UKs biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general wellbeing.A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS sustainable development unit.Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said: The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation.Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers（板栗）, camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Dont You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to switch off your TV set, and go do something less boring instead.51. What is the main purpose of the campaign in UK?A. To save 30 minutes for watching TV programme each day.B. To encourage children to play outdoors.C. To see the documentary film, Project Wild Thing.D. To teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.52. According to the organizers of Wild Network, there will be many advantages from the campaign except _.A. improving health conditionsB. keeping touch with natureC. learning more about wildlifeD. teaching children how to make full use of their spare time53. The underlined part “ to get children muddy and bright-eyed ” means “_ ”.A. to make children covered with mudB. to urge politicians to do more things for childrenC. to encourage children to take part in outdoors activitiesD. to help children identify common species54. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. A new campaign.B. Less screen, more play outdoors.C. A newly formed Wild Network. D. Children get to know wild things.B Many years ago in a small German town, a Jewish businessman had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the businessmans beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain.The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylenders wife and he would forgo her fathers debt. If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her fathers debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.They were standing on a pebble-strewn path. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. The sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. No doubt she was caught in a dilemma.What would you have done if you were the girl? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.2. The girl should know that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral (横向的)and logical thinking. Read onThe girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn pathwhere it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. “Oh, how clumsy of me!” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.” Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.55. The underlined word “forgo” in paragraph 2 may mean _.A. pay offB. run outC. take over D. give up56. Which of the following indicates lateral thinking?A. The girl refused to take a pebble and fled at once.B. The girl exposed the cheat and found another way.C. The girl picked one pebbles and made it disappear.D. The girl picked a black pebble and accepted the result.57. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path on purposeB. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path by accidentC. The girl didnt know there were two black pebbles in the bagD. The girl replaced a black pebble in the bag58. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. Keeping calm when facing a difficult situation.B. Thinking about a complicated problem in another way.C. Thinking twice before making a final choice.D. Coming up with a clever answer is easy.CPublic caught up in argument over safety of genetically modified or simply GM products, report Zhang Lei and Zhong Nan inBeijing.More than 300 people gathered to enjoy a bowl of porridge made from genetically modified food on Saturday, an attempt to quell public fears about the safety of the product.The first China Golden Rice Tasting Event was held at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, Hubei province, sparking another round in the nationwide debate about the safety of GM crops, often called Frankenfood by opponents.Similar events have been held in more than 28 cities since May, the university said.Both the pro and anti camps have posted conflicting comments on the Internet, with each providing evidence to back up their beliefs, but the exchanges are becoming increasingly bitter.Jiang Tao, a senior engineer at the Center for Agricultural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is in favor of GM foods, was annoyed about what he called amateurs spreading rumors.Just look at the people who are opposed to GM foods; can you find anyone from a related field in the scientific community? he asked. Jiang also accused the anti-GM lobby of repeatedly using outdated or inaccurate data to support an incorrect stance.Chen Yunfa, an independent researcher into the Yangtze River Delta economy, recently wrote a commentary on the Internet news portal Eastday in which he criticized the actions of the 61 scientists, saying they had gone beyond their proper duty. He suggested that large multinational corporations might be behind the letter and similar incidents, prompted by a desire to freeze Chinas patent hybrid rice technology out of the market.To support his contentions, Chen said that GM rice, first produced by scientists in the US, still hasnt gained official approval from the US government. However, the US authorities have actually granted licenses to six varieties of GM rice. The commercial planting of two varieties - anti-herbicide (BAR) transgenic rice LL RICE 06 and LL RICE 62 - produced by the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis, was approved in 1999 and a license for cultivation for edible use was granted in 2000.The public outcry for GM labeling and boycotting has hindered the advancement of the technology. Concern about GM foods has been fueled by studies like the one published by French professor Gilles-Eric Sralini in September 2012
