  Between their crazy schedules and upside-down circadian(昼夜节律的)rhythms, teens have always been somewhat sleep-deprived(剥夺).Now technology is making it worse.

  Teens are not just texting, instant-messaging and surfing Facebook all day; they’re sleeping with their cell phones or laptops, too.Or rather, not sleeping.And doctors and parents, many of whom raised in an era when phones were attached to walls, are concerned.

  “So many teens are having sleep issues, and parents aren’t necessarily regulating the use of the electronic devices enough,” says Margie Ryerson, a therapist.“It’s impossible to wind down and relax the body, the mind, the senses and be ready to fall asleep.”

  “We all know teens don’t get enough sleep in general,” says San Francisco.“As long as parents allow teens to have these devices in their bedrooms at night, teens will be tempted(诱惑)to use them.”…Teens would socialize 24/7 if they could.

Ryerson calls it the CNN syndrome of teenhood-round-the-clock reports on breaking news about everything, from homework to wardrobe choices to ice-cream cravings.

  Sleep deprivation is linked to memory and concentration problems, anxiety and depression, and moodiness.“Many people assume these problems arise directly from adolescence, which is not really true,” he says.“The real issue is sleep deprivation.Late-night texting can certainly make the situation worse.”

  “The psychology behind this constant contact is certainly understandable,” Ryerson says.“It comes from wanting to avoid being left out.They won’t be considered important and significant in their peer group, if they don’t know what’s going on.If they’re on top of everything, they belong,” she says.

  “What helps, at least for younger kids,” says Ryerson, “is parental involvement.If all of their friends are all able to text into the early hours of the night, it is hard for a middle or high schooler to set the limit themselves.Often they appreciate parents stepping in.”

  “As parents, we want our kids to be happy, healthy and responsible,” she says, “and the most necessary requirement for achieving balance is to first take care of ourselves physically-eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep.”

(1)

According to Ryerson, it seems that _________.

[  ]

A.

it is unnecessary to control teens’ using the electric devices

B.

parents possibly don’t control teens in using the electric devices

C.

there is no need for parents to make use of the electric devices

D.

parents don’t learn enough how to use the electric devices

(2)

By saying the underlined part “the CNN syndrome of teenhood”(in Para5), Ryerson means _________.

[  ]

A.

teens are affected by CNN news reports very much

B.

teens watch news report on CNN around the clock

C.

teens text to tell each other everything possible

D.

teens like the news report on CNN

(3)

When teens felt depressed, people used to think it was because _________.

[  ]

A.

teens stayed up late to do homework

B.

teens were easily anxious in character

C.

teens didn’t have enough sleep at night

D.

teens were going through a period of growth

(4)

Why do teens keep texting all the time?

[  ]

A.

To have a sense of being accepted by others.

B.

To keep informed of what is going on in the world.

C.

To spread important news among their group.

D.

To reduce the pressure from parents and schools.

  The key to happiness is how quickly you can get back your focus on what's important.

——Anonymous

  Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab.Here's what happened.I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station.We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!

  The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.And I mean, he was friendly.So, I said, "Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

  Many people are like garbage(rubbish)trucks.They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it.And if you let them, they'll dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally.You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.You'll be happy you did.

  I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me?And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets?It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do anymore."

  Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses.Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about.The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.What about you?What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by?Here's my bet.You'll be happier.Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.So, Love the people who treat you right.Forget about the ones who don't.

  Up until now, Disney's attempt into China has been anything but magical.Its Hong Kong theme park, opened in 2005, has had a difficult time due to early mistakes and competition.But Disney doesn't throw in the towel in a market with 1.3 billion potential customers.After more than a decade of negotiations, Disney can build its second Disneyland in Shanghai.

  Disney officials wouldn't say when the park will open or how much it will cost.But the company stated in press release that the Shanghai park will include“characteristics adapted to the Shanghai region”.

  The approval for park construction comes among China's ongoing efforts to develop its tourism sector, which is expected to increase by 3% this year.

  Since the mainland Chinese make up a third of visitors to Hong Kong Disneyland, some fear that the Shanghai park will take tourists away from the former park.Since opening four years ago, Hong Kong Disneyland has underperformed due to its small size-300 acres, the smallest of any Disney parks-as well as high ticket prices and competition from Ocean Park.

  Disney has also made several market miscalculations.Analysts say the company, in trying not to make the same mistakes it did in Paris by failing to be adapted to local tastes, may have done too much in its efforts to adapt the Hong Kong park to Chinese customers.For example, the park's restaurants originally planned to serve the shark's fin soup, until environmentalists protested(抗议).

  Disney officials dismissed concerns that a new park in Shanghai will steal Hong Kong customers.“We see Hong Kong Disneyland and the Shanghai park as complementary(互补的),”said an official.“We believe the Chinese market is large enough to support more than one park.”

  Further expansion in Asia may be a good bet.Last year, roughly a quarter of Disney's profit came from overseas operations.Asia contributed just 5%, but leisure-industry experts are confident about the region's potential.

(1)

The underlined phrase“throw in the towel”in Paragraph 1 means“________”.

[  ]

A.

have a good idea

B.

admit that it has been defeated

C.

bring hope

D.

invest more money

(2)

The Chinese government agreed on the construction of Shanghai Disneyland with the aim of ________.

[  ]

A.

developing Shanghai's tourism

B.

competing with Hong Kong Disneyland

C.

hosting a successful Disney celebration

D.

promoting the development of local culture

(3)

A tourist gives up the idea of visiting Hong Kong Disneyland probably because ________.

[  ]

A.

it is not well adapted to Chinese customers

B.

it lacks attractions

C.

environmentalists protest

D.

it is very small and the ticket price is high

(4)

From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.

[  ]

A.

only after long years of negotiations can Disney build its second park in Shanghai

B.

when the Shanghai park will open and how much it will cost haven't been decided

C.

the Shanghai park will be as successful as the Hong Kong theme park

D.

Paris Disneyland was not so successful, failing to satisfy the taste of the local people.
