19、n it, so we could see what life was like back then.” After breakfast, Anna looked around in the garden and found an old coffee can. What should she put in the can?

20、 put them in the can.

Nowadays, with children (and the parents, too) spending more time texting, watching movies and television, playin
25、g video games, and listening to music, when will the family find time to bond (培养感情) and create lasting memories together? Far too often we dont pay more attention to making time for members of our own family. By the end of a long day at work or school, members of the family want to relax. And now t
26、hat technology use is widespread across the country, normally our “relaxing” is also known as spending time on smart phones.Not only is the amount of family time affected (影响) by technology, but also the quality. Technology can affect the quality in different ways. For example, family members can be
27、 distracted (使分心) by their phones while trying to play a board game together, which wouldnt have happened if the phone didnt exist in the first place.If “family time” means everyone sitting in the same room while playing online, what value is there? Personal interaction is key to time well spent wit
28、h loved ones. Families dont even need to have something to do while together. If they simply ask each other how their day is and play a simple game together, family bonds will get better.When technology becomes a focus, quality(有质量的) time for families goes down, which in turn affects everyones life.
29、 Lack of family interaction causes the familys unity to weaken, and each of the family will be influenced in different ways. Children are more likely to develop unhealthy habits when they fail to interact with their parents. Meanwhile, parents who put work before family or pay less attention to thei
30、r childrens growth are more likely to face bad parent-child relationship. 67 percent of American teens say they want to spend more time with their parents, which is rather sad.

Whats Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Simple games are helpful for family bonds.B. Families dont need to do anything tog
32、ether.C. Personal interaction is important for family time.D. Staying in the same room is necessary for family.29. Whats the writers attitude towards the technology influence?A. Puzzled. B. Worried. C. Surprised. D. Satisfied.DWhen I was in school, our classes were always divided into smaller groups
33、 for reading guidance. These reading groups were named after animals. The high-achieving readers were 6known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice.I was a bird, and my best friend Bobby was a mouse. I can still remember how uncomfortable it was to hear Bobby read sentence
34、s out and he could only read several words in the sentence. This is how we usually think of a reading “problem” the inability to decode symbols(解码 ) and change them into spoken language. Kids with this problem are hard to miss. But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor read
35、ers, but in a very different way thats often invisible. These kids read correctly and fluently from the page they might even be birds but they dont understand most words from their mouths.Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem, and theyve come t
36、o believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem. In one study, they found 8- and 9-year-old children who had reading comprehension(理解) problems. Then, some got help in reading and understanding written text, and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of
37、both. They all got 90 minutes of help every week for 20 weeks, after which their skills were tested. They were also tested again almost a year later, to see if any improvements existed.All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken lan
38、guage showed great improvements into the following year much more than the others. Whats more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined (融合的) way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary. In other words, the spoken language training seems t
39、o have resulted in a generalized improvement in the kids ability to understand language.Reading comprehension is important for success in life, more than ever in history. Reading difficulties create educational difficulties, which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage, including joblessne
