2．The teacher who did the most to encourage me was，as it happens，my aunt．She was Myrtle C．Manigault，the wife of my mother's brother Bill．She taught me in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden，New Jersey．
During my childhood and youth，Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential，without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females．I liked to sing；she listened to my voice and pronounced it good．I couldn't dance；she taught me the basic dancing steps．She took me to the theatre-not just children's theatre，but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed．
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me．I had books at home，but they were all serious classics．Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour，and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her．
Most important，perhaps，Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication．A writer herself for one of the black newspapers，she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist"．My column，begun when I was fourteen，was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material，the discipline of meeting deadlines，and，after graduation from college six years later，a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs．
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favourite niece"．Like a diamond，she has reflected a bright，multifaceted （多面的） image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path．
（1）Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth？
A．She lent her some serious classics．
B．She cultivated her taste for music．
C．She discovered her talent for dancing．
D．She introduced her to adult plays．
（2）What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to？
A．A book of great fun．
B．A writer of high fame．
C．A serious masterpiece．
D．A heartbreaking play．
（3）Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to．
A．develop her capabilities for writing
B．give her a chance to collect material
C．involve her in teenage social activities
D．offer her a series of writing jobs
（4）We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who．
A．trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B．gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C．emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils．
D．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning．组卷：1引用：2难度：0.5 -
3．Teenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk of developing ADHD （多动症），a study has concluded.
The research team，from the University of Southern California，tracked 2，600 teenagers aged 15 and 16.They asked them how many times they checked their phones and other digital devices for various reasons，and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD.After two years，those who had checked their phones the most often were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs of ADHD.
Writing in the JAMA medical journal，the scientists said， "Modern media devices immediately inform users when new text messages，social media postings，or videogame play invitations arrive.Exposure to such information may draw attention away from important tasks.Frequent distraction could interrupt the development of constant attention and organization skills."
They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact.Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD and televisions. "What's new is that previous studies on this topic were done many years ago，when social media，mobile phones，tablets and mobile apps didn't exist.We can say with confidence that teens who are exposed to higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHD symptoms in the future，" he said.
Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how new mobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk for children.And the findings serve as a warning.
British scientists welcomed the findings.But Professor Andy Przybylski of the Oxford Internet Institute said， "The study relies on survey responses provided by the students in question.It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the children similarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with either actual behavior or higher quality survey items."
（1）How did the researchers conduct the study？
A．By monitoring 2，600 teenagers with ADHD.
B．By tracking the participants for two years.
C．By analyzing data from previous researches online.
D．By controlling different teens' time spent on social media.
（2）What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media？
A．It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms.
B．It will create higher ADHD risks.
C．It will weaken teenagers' confidence.
D．It will have a major influence on organization skills.
（3）What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study？
A．It provides a better understanding of the media.
B．It should have focused on parents' responses.
C．Its findings are not reliable enough.
D．It's a breakthrough in this field.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．The use of digital media is on the rise
B．Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHD
C．Heavy use of social media may increase ADHD risks
D．Teens' exposure to modern media calls more attention组卷：3引用：3难度：0.7
