Good afternoon，everyone!
I feel it a great honor to be granted the opportunity to stand on the stage and I am pleased to share with you my personal view on the popular topic，the application of technology in daily life.
As we can see，our daily life currently is witnessing the application of technology in varieties of aspects.With a highly-developed Internet system，the dream of convenient communication has been realized，allowing us to stay in touch with friends face to face anytime.Additionally，compared to the traditional way of paying in cash，mobile payment supported by apps like WeChat relieves us of the trouble of taking a wallet or a card.
Therefore，I can’t help feeling more fortunate living in such an era so as to enjoy a more comfortable life than any periods in history.In the meanwhile，we can also anticipate a promising future with the effort of every one of us.
That’s all；thank you.UNIT 6 训练13　培优提能练(三)

Fathers can give their children an educational advantage at primary school by reading，drawing and playing with them，according to a newly published report.Research led by the University of Leeds has found that children do better at primary school if their fathers regularly spend time with them on interactive engagement activities like reading，playing，telling stories，drawing and singing.
Analysing primary school test scores for five- and seven-year-olds，the researchers used a representative sample of nearly 5,000 mother-father households in England from the Millennium Cohort Study.
According to the research，dads who regularly drew，played and read with their three-year-olds helped their children do better at school by age five.Dads being involved at age five also helped improve scores in seven-year-olds’ Key Stage Assessments.
Dr Helen Norman，who led the research，said，“Mothers still tend to assume the primary carer role and therefore tend to do the most childcare，but if fathers enthusiastically engage in childcare too，it significantly increases the likelihood of children getting better grades in primary school.This is why encouraging and supporting fathers to share childcare with the mother，from an early stage in the child’s life，is critical.”
Dads’ involvement impacted positively on their children’s school achievement regardless of the child’s gender(性别)，race，age in the school year and household income，according to the report.
There were different effects when mums and dads took part in the same activities—the data showed that mums had more of an impact on young children’s emotional and social behaviors than educational achievement.
The researchers recommend that dads carve out as much time as they can to engage in interactive activities with their children each week.For busy，working dads，even just ten minutes a day could potentially have educational benefits.They also recommend that schools and early years education providers routinely take both parents’ contact details(where possible) and develop strategies to engage fathers.
1．What can we learn about the research
A. Mums had more impact on young children’s educational achievement.
B．Dads’ positive impact on kids’ learning had nothing to do with the gender.
C．Dads’ involvement at age 3 helped promote academic performance at age 7.
D．The researchers investigated nearly 5,000 single-parent families in England.
2．Who may give his children the most educational advantage at primary school
A. A father who is totally busy with his work.
B．A father who is really good at playing basketball.
C．A father who has absolutely low income.
D．A father who actively shares childcare with the mother.
3．What advice do the researchers offer on children’s early years education
A. Dads should spare ten minutes a day to apparently benefit kids.
B．Dads should maximize time to interact with their kids each week.
C．Schools should generate strategies to involve parents in management.
D．Schools should regularly contact parents to develop mother-engagement.
4．What is the main idea of the text
A. It’s crucial that fathers can have a lasting impact on children.
B．Young children can get brilliant childhood with father-engagement.
C．Fathers and mothers should share childcare in family early education.
D．Young children do better at school if their dads interact with them.

For more than a century，student journalists at the Daily Tar Heel(DTH) have written about life on campus and raised questions on the issues of free expression，education，and big-time athletics.
The independent student newspaper recently celebrated its 125th anniversary.To mark the special day，student reporters asked the question：What’s the future of the DTH？The proud newspaper has been searching for the answer，and so have other college newspapers across the US.
Student newspapers are facing a dark reality.As they are free to read，they are making less money than ever，meaning that such newspapers are finding it hard to survive.
Most college papers have reduced their print editions.While it used to produce around 22,000 newspapers each time，it only makes around 10,000 now，said Erica Perel，general manager.
Increasingly，student journalists have turned their focus to digital versions of their newspapers，and the new ways social media allows them to tell stories and mirror what’s going on in the professional journalism world.
“I think we’re adjusting very well...in moving away from that print mentality.But it’s challenging，” said Jonathan Carter，a student at North Carolina State University.
So what should student newspapers do？LoMonte said the best solution would be for universities to financially back student journalism，since journalism is a part of cultivating civically(公民素养上) responsible students and the independent media coverage should be recognized as an effective vehicle.
In the meantime，Bruce dePyssler，adviser to North Carolina Central University’s Campus Echo newspaper，said his students post one story a day online.The best stories are put together for a once-a-semester(学期) print edition.
And even if student journalists don’t go into media jobs，Perel said，they’ve still had a great education.“The number one thing that we teach is critical thinking and how to pursue knowledge constantly，” she said.“The ones who are living through this transition(过渡) are the ones that are going to be a lot tougher for it in the end.”
5．What can be read about at the Daily Tar Heel
A. Students’ college life. B．Some famous sports facilities.
C．Columns about the free subjects. D．Articles on the education of journalism.
6．What does LoMonte suggest student newspapers do to overcome the difficulty
A．Reduce print editions. B．Publish more digital editions.
C．Ask colleges for economic support. D．Adopt a once-a-semester print edition.
7．How can student journalists benefit from the job，in Perel’s opinion
A. They become good at taking criticism. B．They learn how to be a lifelong learner.
C．They have mastery of logical thinking. D．They gain numerous problem-solving skills.
8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Proud History of the Daily Tar Heel
B．Student Reporters Adapting to Changing Situations
C．An Example of Combining Newspapers with New Media
D．School Newspapers under Threat in the Digital Age in the US
Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
The news plays an important role in our lives，which has been emphasized even further during the past year.If you find yourself beginning to feel negative impacts from the news，now is the time to start putting protective steps into place.
Control consumption. 1 Alternatively，you may have noticed a pattern you are experiencing—for example，do you tend to feel more negative impacts if you read the news when you’re tired or just before bed，or during periods of increased stress？If so，you may wish to limit exposure at certain times of day or in particular contexts.
Take ownership over your emotions. 2 It is your right to feel how you do.In doing so，acknowledge that you have control over your reactions.This can help you feel more empowered to act positively.
3 If you’re being disturbed by negative news coverage，try to find some other resources to focus on.For instance，during the current pandemic(流行病)，the WHO suggests focusing on recovery stories.
Seek support.Contact support groups or health care professionals.It’s important to recognize the value of positive social support and to recognize that seeking help is a positive and strong step.These contacts can also help you find other helpful resources. 4
What works for one person may not be the best approach for another.Everyone is an individual. 5 Do not hesitate to seek professional help to guide you through this process.
A．Focus on the positive.
B．Take time to find what works for you.
C．Always remember that you are not alone.
D．Never blame yourself for negative emotions.
E．It’s also important to invest time in self-care.
F．This includes taking some time out from the media.
G．Staying informed and educated is particularly important.

Alex pedaled his bike along the country lane that led to his house.As he rounded a bend，the tips of the cattails that grew around Johnson’s Pond came into view.His dad took him canoeing there sometimes，and Alex loved it.The pond was always so alive with activity.Frogs croaked along the shore，dragonflies hunted among the cattails，and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) basking(晒太阳) on sunny rocks.
Alex was curious about the turtles he saw.One week，when it was too rainy to go canoeing，he and his dad went to the library to check out books on turtles.Alex learned that turtles don’t have warm blood like people do.That’s why they have to sit in the sun to warm themselves.Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.
Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead.It looked like a big gray rock.But it was a funny place for a rock to be.
And then，as Alex watched，the rock started to move.
When he rode his bike up to get a closer look，he saw that it wasn’t a rock at all.It was a large turtle crawling its way across the road.It had a bony，beak-shaped mouth and a long，jagged tail.Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.
He also knew not to get too close.He had read that a snapping turtle has a powerful bite even though it doesn’t have teeth.It could even bite off someone’s finger.He stood at a distance and watched the turtle move slowly over the road.
Out of the corner of his eye，he saw a car approaching.The turtle was still only halfway across the road.Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up to move it safely to the grass.What could he do

Fathers can give their children an educational advantage at primary school by reading，drawing and playing with them，according to a newly published report.Research led by the University of Leeds has found that children do better at primary school if their fathers regularly spend time with them on interactive engagement activities like reading，playing，telling stories，drawing and singing.
Analysing primary school test scores for five- and seven-year-olds，the researchers used a representative sample of nearly 5,000 mother-father households in England from the Millennium Cohort Study.
According to the research，dads who regularly drew，played and read with their three-year-olds helped their children do better at school by age five.Dads being involved at age five also helped improve scores in seven-year-olds’ Key Stage Assessments.
Dr Helen Norman，who led the research，said，“Mothers still tend to assume the primary carer role and therefore tend to do the most childcare，but if fathers enthusiastically engage in childcare too，it significantly increases the likelihood of children getting better grades in primary school.This is why encouraging and supporting fathers to share childcare with the mother，from an early stage in the child’s life，is critical.”
Dads’ involvement impacted positively on their children’s school achievement regardless of the child’s gender(性别)，race，age in the school year and household income，according to the report.
There were different effects when mums and dads took part in the same activities—the data showed that mums had more of an impact on young children’s emotional and social behaviors than educational achievement.
The researchers recommend that dads carve out as much time as they can to engage in interactive activities with their children each week.For busy，working dads，even just ten minutes a day could potentially have educational benefits.They also recommend that schools and early years education providers routinely take both parents’ contact details(where possible) and develop strategies to engage fathers.

For more than a century，student journalists at the Daily Tar Heel(DTH) have written about life on campus and raised questions on the issues of free expression，education，and big-time athletics.
The independent student newspaper recently celebrated its 125th anniversary.To mark the special day，student reporters asked the question：What’s the future of the DTH？The proud newspaper has been searching for the answer，and so have other college newspapers across the US.
Student newspapers are facing a dark reality.As they are free to read，they are making less money than ever，meaning that such newspapers are finding it hard to survive.
Most college papers have reduced their print editions.While it used to produce around 22,000 newspapers each time，it only makes around 10,000 now，said Erica Perel，general manager.
Increasingly，student journalists have turned their focus to digital versions of their newspapers，and the new ways social media allows them to tell stories and mirror what’s going on in the professional journalism world.
“I think we’re adjusting very well...in moving away from that print mentality.But it’s challenging，” said Jonathan Carter，a student at North Carolina State University.
So what should student newspapers do？LoMonte said the best solution would be for universities to financially back student journalism，since journalism is a part of cultivating civically(公民素养上) responsible students and the independent media coverage should be recognized as an effective vehicle.
In the meantime，Bruce dePyssler，adviser to North Carolina Central University’s Campus Echo newspaper，said his students post one story a day online.The best stories are put together for a once-a-semester(学期) print edition.
And even if student journalists don’t go into media jobs，Perel said，they’ve still had a great education.“The number one thing that we teach is critical thinking and how to pursue knowledge constantly，” she said.“The ones who are living through this transition(过渡) are the ones that are going to be a lot tougher for it in the end.”

The news plays an important role in our lives，which has been emphasized even further during the past year.If you find yourself beginning to feel negative impacts from the news，now is the time to start putting protective steps into place.
Control consumption. 1 Alternatively，you may have noticed a pattern you are experiencing—for example，do you tend to feel more negative impacts if you read the news when you’re tired or just before bed，or during periods of increased stress？If so，you may wish to limit exposure at certain times of day or in particular contexts.
Take ownership over your emotions. 2 It is your right to feel how you do.In doing so，acknowledge that you have control over your reactions.This can help you feel more empowered to act positively.
3 If you’re being disturbed by negative news coverage，try to find some other resources to focus on.For instance，during the current pandemic(流行病)，the WHO suggests focusing on recovery stories.
Seek support.Contact support groups or health care professionals.It’s important to recognize the value of positive social support and to recognize that seeking help is a positive and strong step.These contacts can also help you find other helpful resources. 4

A
Born in Potsdam(in the Kingdom of Prussia) in 1821，Helmholtz was one of the 19th century’s most knowledgeable scientists，whose name turns up in the histories of multiple scientific fields and specialties.As a youngster，he had an interest in physics，but that seemed a financially unwise career choice.He went to medical school and studied physiology(生理学) instead，because he was drawn to others who promoted the point that physiology should be based on the principles of chemistry and physics，not the “vital forces” that had been popularly emphasized previously.
After earning his medical degree，Helmholtz served as an army surgeon before becoming professor of physiology at the University of K nigsberg.During that time，he composed a groundbreaking paper on the conservation of energy，which made him a good reputation in science community.His main argument is that all science can be reduced to mechanics.It is emphasized that Newtonian mechanics and Lagrangian mechanics are mathematically equivalent(相等的)，so a force can be measured by the Laplace method in terms of the energy transferred by the force or the work done by the force.All of this energy is conserved.While at K nigsberg，he studied the nervous system，optics(光学) and acoustics(声学)，especially with regard to the physiology of the senses.Then he moved on to the University of Bonn as professor of anatomy(解剖学) and physiology.
After some time at the University of Heidelberg，where he became interested in philosophy，in 1871 he was awarded the physics chair at the University of Berlin.At last he could focus on physics，emphasizing the importance of the principle of least action for explaining physical phenomena.He also explored the branches of Maxwell’s new theory.By this time，he was recognized as one of Germany’s premier scientists，until his death in 1894.

A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business.But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments，which stops many people.However，an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step.They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries，and even horse trucks.
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages，the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs.These costs，which consist primarily of，the vehicle and any required equipment，usually come to about only ￡ 5,000－￡ 10,000.With such tightly controlled costs，mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast，success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly，and they often fail within the first two years.In short，mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.
The first entrepreneurs(企业家) to do this have been in the food business.The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe.The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.
UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where，today，there are vehicles that sell flowers，shoes，clothes and all kinds of specialty food items.There are also mobile businesses that provide services，such as hair styling，pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices.Mobile retail is not without problems，however.Weather，the increasing price of fuel，and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with.These business owners，however，feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.In the US，the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.

When you were at school，were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate？It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. 1 However，understanding how to do it，and knowing what is distracting you can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us procrastinate(拖延) and found a number of ways to help us stay focused. 2 Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration，or a gentle background hum and coffee shop noise is great！It also found turning off reminders on your phone，or switching it off altogether，removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.
3 Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly interested in our ability to focus and have looked at what we can change inside our heads to make us concentrate.An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” 4
There are more practical tips toward keeping your mind focused.These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do，finding a workspace where you’re not tempted to do other things，or chewing some gum！It’s possible that the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted. 5 “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted，we’d miss potential changes，such as threats，in our environment.Distraction is vital for survival，” according to Science Focus magazine.
A．But distraction isn’t all bad.
B．Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life.
C．Therefore，keeping yourself busy might be one answer.

A
Born in Potsdam(in the Kingdom of Prussia) in 1821，Helmholtz was one of the 19th century’s most knowledgeable scientists，whose name turns up in the histories of multiple scientific fields and specialties.As a youngster，he had an interest in physics，but that seemed a financially unwise career choice.He went to medical school and studied physiology(生理学) instead，because he was drawn to others who promoted the point that physiology should be based on the principles of chemistry and physics，not the “vital forces” that had been popularly emphasized previously.
After earning his medical degree，Helmholtz served as an army surgeon before becoming professor of physiology at the University of K nigsberg.During that time，he composed a groundbreaking paper on the conservation of energy，which made him a good reputation in science community.His main argument is that all science can be reduced to mechanics.It is emphasized that Newtonian mechanics and Lagrangian mechanics are mathematically equivalent(相等的)，so a force can be measured by the Laplace method in terms of the energy transferred by the force or the work done by the force.All of this energy is conserved.While at K nigsberg，he studied the nervous system，optics(光学) and acoustics(声学)，especially with regard to the physiology of the senses.Then he moved on to the University of Bonn as professor of anatomy(解剖学) and physiology.
After some time at the University of Heidelberg，where he became interested in philosophy，in 1871 he was awarded the physics chair at the University of Berlin.At last he could focus on physics，emphasizing the importance of the principle of least action for explaining physical phenomena.He also explored the branches of Maxwell’s new theory.By this time，he was recognized as one of Germany’s premier scientists，until his death in 1894.
