1．We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play.However，what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen - any screen - and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens，split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years，an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago，film-maker David Bond realised that his children，then aged five and three，were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change，and，being a London media type，appointed himself "marketing director for Nature".He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild Thing，a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference，" David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven，then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now："We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there，and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.
（1）What is the problem with the author's children？
A．They often annoy the neighbours.
B．They are tired of doing their homework.
C．They have no friends to play with.
D．They stay in front of screens for too long.
（2）How did David Bond advocate his idea？
A．By making a documentary film.
B．By organizing outdoor activities.
C．By advertising in London media.
D．By creating a network of friends.
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2？
A．records
B．predicts
C．delays
D．confirms
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Let Children Have Fun
B．Young Children Need More Free Time
C．Market Nature to Children
D．David Bond：A Role Model for Children组卷：176引用：2难度：0.5

2．According to Jessica Hagy，author of How to Be Interesting，it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
（1），if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time.So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous，trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves.If you can start the conversation with a question other than "What do you do for a living？"，you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to.（2），it can bring in "I have this old，broken-down vehicle" or "I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back." It just opens up conversation.
（3）？If you can't take their wine away，you should certainly try to take away their soapbox（讲台）.If you're the host，you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.（4）.
And what about that other dinner-party killer：awkward silence？If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party，the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）.（5）.Just quickly turn around and say，"This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it."
So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question "How did you get here？"
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most组卷：348引用：8难度：0.5
