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.11 .

Samoa and parts of Kiribati were the first places to welcome 2019 because they are closest to the International Date Line(IDL). The IDL divides(划分) each new day from the day before. As January 1st moved around the world, fireworks next bloomed in New Zealand to welcome the New Year. Next up were parts of Russian and Australian. Australians held a large fireworks show over the Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. When the clock struck midnight on December 31st across Asia, Singapore, Hong Kong and other cities hosted fantastic fireworks shows. Then, it was Londons turn to fill the skies with bright colors. More than 15 hours after 2019 arrived in Samoa, party-goers in New York City watched the famous crystal(水晶) ball drop in Times Square.

Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence perhaps viewed by some cultural groups as quite uncomfortable; therefore tries may be made to fill every gap （间隙） with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many local Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what perhaps shows is that the man wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection（反应）.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts（冲突） among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in power rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, especially to an elder or a person in power.Nurses and other care-givers need to realize the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety（焦虑）their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should learn about their own personal and cultural situation of silence so that a patients silence is not stopped too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the curing value of silence can use this understanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.24 . Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?AThe Chinese.BThe French.CThe Mexicans.DThe Russians.25 . What does the writer advise nurses to do about silence?ALet it continue as the patient pleases.BBreak it while treating patients.CStudy its harm to patients.DMake use of its healing effects.26 . What may be the best title for the text?ASound and SilenceBWhat It Means to Be SilentCSilence to Native AmericansDSpeech Is Silver; Silence Is GoldEarthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates(板块) of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains (山脉), too.During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed(破坏).Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, its possible for earthquakes to happen.
