    I was living a life in my screen and hardly noticed what was around me. So when my friends invited me to go camping for a long weekend without the cell service, I thought this was exactly what I needed. Here’s how keeping away from my phone for 48 hours changed me.

    I realized my bedtime routine was usually centered on one thing: my phone. Right before I went to sleep, I browsed through news websites and checked my emails. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I did the same thing. The problem with this was I felt anxious every night. I felt free without my phone at that weekend camp. I felt asleep listening to the sound of crickets.

    When I had my phone, I was always checking the time and thinking of future plans. My thought was: “Who’s going to text me now? What will I do next?” Without my phone, I truly savored what I was doing in the moment, sitting by the river, riding a bike, or singing the old songs. There was no need to rush through any of it. I listened to what my body wanted instead of what my phone was telling me to do.

    You know that moment when you’re hanging out with a group of people and no one has anything to say? The typical response: Everyone immediately pulls out their phones. So what did we do without a phone to avoid embarrassing silences? We actually talked to each other. Instead of burying our faces in our screens, we looked one another in the eye, had a moment of pure human connection and then continued talking. And you know what? People actually listened.

    So, now what? Now I’m back to the real world.

    1.When the author’s friends invited him to go camping, he .

    A. didn’t really want to go

    A. He broke his bedtime routine.

    B. He no longer cared about news.

    C. He fell in love with sounds of nature.

    D. He began to pay attention to his future plans.

    3.The underlined word “savored” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “ ”.

    A. ignored B. recorded

    C. enjoyed D. remembered

    4.At that weekend camp, the campers .

    A. often felt very lonely

    California Condor’s Shocking Recovery

    California condors are North America’s largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.

    In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.

    Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once.

    So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.

    Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.

    Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them. ”

    1. California condors attract researchers’ interest because they _________.

    A. are active at night

    B. had to be bred in the wild

    C. are found only in California

    D. almost died out in the 1980s

    2.Researchers have found electrical lines are _________.

    A. blocking condors’ journey home

    B. big killers of California condors

    C. rest places for condors at night

    D. used to keep condors away

    3.According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning _________.

    A. makes condors too nervous to fly

    B. has little effect on condors’ kidneys

    C. can hardly be gotten rid of from condors’ blood

    D. makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds

    4. This passage shows that _________.

    A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactory

    B. Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineering

    C. the efforts to protect condors have brought good results

    D. researchers have found the final answers to the problem

    Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

    ＂The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,＂ says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. ＂They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.＂

    Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication — e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the ＂most e-mailed＂ list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

    Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, ＂Contagious: Why Things Catch On.＂

    1.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

    A. News reports． B. Research papers．

    C. Private e-mails． D. Daily conversations．

    2.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

    A. They’re socially inactive．

    B. They’re good at telling stories．

    C. They’re inconsiderate of others．

    D. They’re careful with their words．

    3. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?

    A. Sports news． B. Science articles．

    C. Personal accounts． D. Financial reviews．

    4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide．

    B. Online News Attracts More People．

    C. Reading Habits Change with the Times．

    D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks．
