Its about discovering what we dont need.”I told the reporter about my daughter Sarahs simple wish for a pink balloon on her birthday, but she felt that things would inevitably change as Sarah grew up and adopted more materialistic desires.I agreed that Sarah may not always be interested in such simple gifts as balloons, but I couldnt agree that a birthday needs to be about materialistic desires.To me, a birthday is an opportunity to celebrate the life and the development of a person.Do we need to see a table covered with gifts to know that our family and friends love us?

It came and went in the middle of a snow storm, and my birthday party was canceled. While my husband and I spent much of the day clearing the snow, Sarah made some little dolls for me.And when we came in to rest, Ula climbed onto my lap and sing Happy Birthday.Throughout the day, my friends called to wish me a happy day, and my mother called, upset that she couldnt visit.Later, my husband apologized that he was unable to do anything special for me that day.“I had a fantastic birthday,” I replied, as I thought of all the love Id felt.5.

Not according to the WHO.The symptoms listed by the WHO include a lack of control over gaming, treating gaming more seriously than other life interests and daily activities, and continuing to play games despite the negative consequences that playing them might have.“The behavior pattern is enough to result in significant damage to ones personal, family, or social life, the WHO said.Meanwhile, Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University has carried out influential research into the cause of gaming addiction in young people.“I and many others had assumed that gaming is not really a problem but is a symptom of other problems,” he told NBC News. Many had thought it was simply a failure of self-control.To see if it was, Gentiles team studied a group of children who had been gaming for several years.“We found that when kids became addicted, their anxiety increased and their grades decreased,” Gentile said.When kids were able to back off from gaming, their symptoms disappeared, he added.Gentile thinks medical organizations should pay attention to the WHOs proposal.“This isnt an issue of opinion; its an issue of science,” he said.“This is a major scientific and medical organization. They dont do things lightly and without reason.”Dr Petros Levounis, chair of psychiatry (精神病学) at the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers University, said that he hoped the WHO s proposal would lead to more research into obsessive behavior among all types of people.“Now, there is renewed interest and excitement,” he said.8. Which of the following is a sign of gaming disorder according to the WHO?A. Putting games before everything else.B. Playing games for several hours every night.C. Having no hobbies but playing games.D. Keeping playing until winning the games.9. Why is Gentiles research mentioned?A. To explain the cause of gaming addiction.B. To show the impact of gaming disorder.C. To show the reasons behind the WHOs decision.D. To introduce the study that influenced the WHOs proposal.10. What did Levounis think of the WHOs decision?A. It needed further research to make it more convincing.B. It would do little to help people with gaming addiction.C. It would encourage new cures for gaming disorder.D. It would encourage studies about diseases similar to gaming disorder.11. Whats the article mainly about?A. The WHO defining gaming disorder.B. New research findings about gaming disorder.C. The benefits of defining gaming as a disease.D. The discussions about defining gaming disorder as a disease.D“Although we live in an era where everything seems to be available immediately, our study suggests that todays kids can delay gratification longer than children in the 1960s and 1980s,” said University of Minnesota psychologist Stephanie M. Carlson. “This finding stands in great contrast with the assumption by adults that todays children have less self-control than previous generations.”The original marshmallow (棉花糖) test conducted by researchers at Stanford University involved a series of experiments in which children aged between 3 and 5 years were offered one treat that they could eat immediately or a larger treat if they waited. Researchers then left the room to see how long the children would wait and watched from behind a one-way mirror.Interestingly, todays adults thought that children nowadays would be more impulsive and less able to wait, Carlson found. “Our findings serve as an example of how our beliefs can be wrong and how its important to do research,” said co-author Yuichi Shoda, PhD at the University of Washington.The researchers offered several possible explanations for why children in the 2000s waited longer than those in prior decades. They noted a statistically significant increase in IQ scores in the last several decades. Another explanation may be societys increased focus on the importance of early education, according to Carlson. The primary objective of preschool changed from largely custodial care (监护) to school readiness in the 1980s. Parenting also has changed in ways that help promote the development of executive function, such as being more supportive of childrens self-control, the researchers noted.Walter Mischel of Columbia University, who co-authored this paper, noted that “while the results indicate that the childrens ability to delay is not weakened on the marshmallow test, the findings do not speak to their willingness to delay gratification when faced with the many temptations now available in everyday life.”12. What is the adults assumption about todays children?A. They are not easy to please.B. They are less able to control themselves.C. They dont like things that are easy to get.D. They have different personalities from previous generations.13. What does the underlined word “impulsive” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. productiveB. considerateC. clear-mindedD. hot-headed14. What did the researchers find about children in the 2000s?A. They are more prepared to go to school.B. They are not as clever as previous generations.C. They are taught self-control by their teachers.D. They have better education than previous generations.15. What does the author want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. Most children nowadays cant resist the temptations of everyday life.B. Children did not willingly choose to delay gratification in the marshmallow test.C. The marshmallow test cant accurately measure childrens ability to delay gratification.D. Childrens ability to delay gratification is weakened because therere many temptations.第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。For the last few months, more than 20,000 primary students in one Florida school district in the United States have enjoyed school life without the usual homework.
