Think三、阅读单选Being able to multitask- doing several things at the same time-is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young peoplejugglea larger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also has an effect on young peoples performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.16 .

In Paragraph 3, the author points out that _.Afamily members do not greet each otherBfamily members do not eat at the family tableCyoung people get on well with their familiesDyoung people hardly communicate with their family members18 .

The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by _.Aproviding special examplesBfollowing the natural time orderCgiving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effectsDcomparing opinions from different worldsFish and chips, and Chinese take-away food are very popular in England. But they are less popular in the U.S.A. In the U.S.A, they eat take-away food, too, like chicken. But the most popular kind of take-away food is the Hamburger（汉堡包）. It looks like bread with meat in it. Ham（火腿）is a kind of pork-but the Hamburger does not have any pork in it. It has beef in it. The beef is inside a kind of cake. Hamburgers are delicious.

There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents feel sad about making the decisions to have only one child.But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average(平均) number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They dont have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around $160,000.26 . According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely?ABecause his parents dont love him.BBecause he doesnt have holidays.CBecause he doesnt have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with.DBecause there are other children in the family.27 . What does the underlined word “overwhelming” mean in the last paragraph?A压倒一切的B宽松的C流行的D充足的28 . Why dont parents choose to have a second child?AThe cost of supporting a child is so high.B.
