Remember Vitaminwater's “free of rolling screens for a year” challenge that people to be free from smartphones for a whole year will win $100,000 Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman, has been into it for eight months, and just four months away from claiming the grand prize.
Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge.Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smartphones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survived for an entire year without a hand－held smartphone was Elana Mugdan, a 29－year－old fiction writer from Queens, New York.Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye－opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smartphone.Even though there are times when she misses her hand－held smartphone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesn't want to go back to days when she overused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed_with social media.
But not having access to her smartphone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before.“Many people did me a favor.However, once, I almost get stranded (被滞留的) in the Sea－Tac Airport because the phone number I'd written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one, no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me，” the young writer said.
Another time, her car's “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night.She couldn't use her phone's GPS, or even check what the light meant online or find a nearby car repair shop.But she learned to overcome these situations.And now she claims the last eight months of phone－free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she'll keep it for another four months.

What was the last thing you did before going to bed last night You were probably on a device: reading e－mails, surfing the web or checking social media.
You're not alone.A study by the National Sleep Foundation shows 48% of American adults use devices such as phones or laptops in bed.
Unlike reading and watching TV, modern devices are interactive rather than passive.Their connectivity to the outside world comes into the bedroom.
It appears there is a marked difference between staying up late with a good book or watching television in bed and using smartphones and laptops.The way we interact with electronic devices allows them to eat into far more of the time we should be asleep, according to researchers.
“These devices are causing sleep procrastination (拖延)，” says Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
“Sending a text message, posting something on the Internet or checking your e－mail means you are waiting for a response and revs_up your emotional nervous system.”
Ben Carter, a professor at King's College London, conducted a review of 20 studies into the effect of technology on children's sleep patterns, finding even those who did not use phones or other devices before bed but had them in their bedrooms, slept less deeply than those who left their devices in another room.
“It is perhaps the biggest unaddressed public health problem of our time.Sleep is necessary for a wide range of functions that serve our health and well－being，” says Colin Espie, professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford.
Yet surprisingly, Walker says technology itself may hold the answer to control our sleep.There are already many devices on the market that claim to monitor and aid people in sleeping.And Walker hopes to use machine－learning technology to produce new ways to help those who are not sleeping properly.
8．What does the author think of smartphones and laptops compared with TV
A．They work in a more active way.
B．They consume less of our time.
C．They have more positive effects.
D．They do less harm to our health.
9．What does the underlined part “revs up” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Makes something stop working.
B．Makes something function normally.
C．Makes something operate more quickly.
D．Makes something develop more steadily.
10．What's Colin Espie's attitude to using electronic devices
A．Favorable. B．Opposed.
C．Unconcerned. D．Ambiguous.
11．What can we learn from the text
A．Many people rely on electronic devices to fall asleep.
B．Ben Carter studied different age groups' sleep patterns.
C．The use of electronic devices may make people eat more.
D．Just the presence of electronic devices may affect one's sleep.
D
Programs that drive the digital experiences today seem to turn to contents that are popular, and they are unable to tell facts from fictions.And due to the fact that anyone can post anything they want online, unconfirmed reports and irresponsible and unchecked contents are common in the online world.
The problem is so common that the British newspaper The Independent has a whole page contributed to news about fake news, along with Mashable's social media and a growing number of others.
During the past days when most kids used textbooks that had been edited and reviewed responsibly before they were used, the need for students to check their sources was not great.Today, it's different.Students use the Internet for research, and teachers and parents can't keep them away from bad contents all the time.And they're on their own as they get older.They have to master information literacy (信息素养), the skills of recognizing bad information, identifying good information, and understanding the difference between the two.
There are people and organizations dealing with the problem and developing information for Internet searchers, both adults and children.The website of Encyclopedia Britannica, for example, has provided Internet searchers with extra information at the top right of their results page.The move was intended to make people slow down and think twice before accepting search results as facts.
Fake news is here to stay.We all need to fight.We can start with awareness and a few rules: don't make the web full of bad information; don't spread or share information if you aren't sure about it.And be mindful of how we use information: practice information literacy.And human curiosity is of great importance in this fight against misinformation.Curiosity drives learning and makes people question information.We need everyone to join in researching and questioning for the truth.
12．What problem is described about the online world
A．We are given too much information.
B．Useless results often show up first online.
C．The Internet includes much fake information.
D．Fake news is spread purposely to attract searchers.
13．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．The need for information literacy.
B．Different generations' learning style.
C．How networks affect today's students.
D．Why fake contents exist on the Internet.
14．What does the website of Encyclopedia Britannica do for searchers
A．It marks the facts.
B．It provides more details.
C．It corrects the search results.
D．It alarms searchers if necessary.
15．Which of the following would the author agree with
A．It is hard to clean up all fake news.
B．We can't speak freely in cyberspace.
C．People should be forced to follow the rules.
D．We should keep curious to discover the truth.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a college student majoring in engineering, Tom was in bad need of an advanced computer, which would cost him an arm and a leg. Tom chose not to upset his parents with this issue because he didn't want to be dependent on them all the time. After careful consideration, Tom decided that a second－hand computer of high quality would also do and he could afford one with the money he had earned by taking part－time jobs.
One Saturday morning, Tom went into a second－hand computer shop. Luckily for him, he came across a computer of the exact model he wanted. Better still, it was nearly brand new and was sold at just a third of its original price. It meant that if Tom bought it, he would still have 300 dollars left. It seemed too good to be true! Out of curiosity, Tom asked the shop owner why the computer was sold at such a low price. “Oh, it's a sad story，” replied the owner, adding that it was from a college student called Steven who was diagnosed with some type of cancer last month and now was badly in need of money for his treatment.
Hearing this, Tom felt truly sorry for the young man who was supposed to have a promising future. But at the same time, he also felt lucky to have this ideal computer for his college life. Without hesitation, he paid the shopkeeper, took the computer and went back to his dorm (宿舍). He couldn't wait to show his computer to his roommates. Everyone in the dorm thought Tom was lucky to have got the computer.

参考范文：
Dear Sir/Madam，
The Internet has transformed the world into a global village, altering all aspects of our life, especially education.Here, I am writing to share my thoughts on its positive effects as well as negative ones.
The most obvious advantage lies in the wide choice of courses.Learners can have access to the courses tailored for personal needs regardless of time and space.However, the downside is just as noticeable.Along with individualized courses, the Internet presents half－truths that puzzle the young minds where self－control and judging power are still forming.
Therefore, I strongly suggest that parents and teachers should provide guidance to ensure that the Internet best serves the mental and physical growth of the teens.
Yours，
Li Hua

参考范文：
But deep in his heart, he knew something was not going right. When he began using the computer to complete his assignment, he just couldn't stay calm and peaceful in mind, even feeling a sense of guilt. Of course he didn't do anything wrong, but an inner voice kept echoing in his mind: “There's something else you can do.” Tom thought it over and an idea sprang to his mind. The next day, he went back to the shop and asked the shop owner how he could get in touch with Steven.
With the phone number given by the shop owner, Tom contacted Steven and paid him a visit. Handing over the computer to its original owner, Tom said, “I do believe you will need it after you beat the disease.” Before Steven could say a word, Tom added, “And I also have 300 dollars for you. I can take more odd jobs and will get a new computer before long.” Moved to tears, Steven replied, “Thank you so much, my friend! You can keep the computer until I go back to the campus, by which time I think you will have saved enough for a new computer.” Inner peace came back to Tom when he used the computer again.
