Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isnt it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didnt believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says:I find it very relaxing. Its not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored “grey games” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. Theres a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy（策略）and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply dont have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldnt be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the grey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them.24.

By saying “his couldnt be further from the truth.” in Paragraph 5, the author means _.A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleB. children should improve their skills with practiceC. playing computer games requires analytical thinkingD. older people can perform well in some computer gamesCYoungerstudentsexperience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.It also found that nearly half of the students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a childs personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “children being bullied will find it hard to trust others , Zhou said. They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”In recent years,bullyingon Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijings Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.The SupremePeoplesProcuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2020. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came upwithsome ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their childrens educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.28Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?A A 10-year-old boy from a poor familyB A 17-year-old boy from a rich familyC A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary schoolD A 10-year-old girl from a key school29Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _.A a lack of trust in other peopleB a drop in the sense of depressionC a lack of ability to manage their lifeD a drop in academic performance30We can learn from the text that _.A bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the mediaB students who enjoy parents companionship will be bullying-freeC the government should consider taking further action against bullying at schoolD bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder31What can be the best title for the text?A Negative effects on children caused by bullyingB Is anything we can do about bullying?C The reasons for bullying on campusD Bullying affects half of the studentsDA mystery surrounds my grandmothers collection of salt cellars (盐瓶). No one in the family seems to know when she started collecting them, or exactly how many she had.My grandmother died just over two years ago. At 91, she had spent 30 years without her right leg, which was removed due to cancer the year I was born. She was a poet, an artist, a food lover and a salt cellar collector. The funny thing about the salts, as she called them I never once heard her say salt cellar was that although everybody knew they were her hobby and everyone was always searching for them at yard sales or in stores, nobody seemed to know what they meant to her and they just wanted to make her happy. Grandma kept her salts in a dark wooden corner display case in the living room. Since her death the case has remained exactly as she left it. Grandpa tries his best to preserve his memories of her just as they are.Now I am collecting, too. Collecting memories about my grandmothers hobby, a way she spent her time. And as I hold one of them in my hand, I picture her holding it in her hand on the day she got it. She is smiling. My mother and her two sisters all have small collections, but my mother admits that she was more interested in finding salts to send to Grandma.Grandma once wrote a poem titled “When April Comes”. The poem contains the line, “When April comes and I am not around, remember me when daffodils are found.” Now, Grandpa is working on a poem with the line, “April came and you were not around”.But she was, somehow.
