When I was a kid, I never had any problems watching some cartoons. It was so much fun and a great education(教育) too. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry were my idols(偶像). Even now I really feel that they are worth watching at any age.
The problem I’ve found is the cartoons at present. Some of them contain something ugly. Most of the time, they show such many terrible characters with violence(暴力)that you wonder what they really mean. Cartoons are supposed to be funny but they aren’t. If you are expecting to teach your kids good manners and behavior, then they are the worst for your kids to watch.
Kids often imitate what they seee in cartoons. If your kid is a fan of such cartoons, he or she will follow his or her favorite cartoon character and try to do something extremely dangerous.
Therefore, try not to let your kids watch too many today’s cartoons. Make sure to keep an eye on what they are watching. When the writer was a kid, he thought that the cartoons then were ________.
| A．ugly and terrible | B．funny but terrible |
| C．ugly and dangerous | D．funny and educational |
The writer doesn’t like the cartoons at present because ________.
| A．he is no longer a kid |
| B．they are bad for kids’ education |
| C．they are long and boring |
| D．they have ugly characters in them |
What’s the main idea of the passage?
| A．Everyone should only watch the past cartoon. |
| B．A large number of kids are crazy about cartoons now. |
| C．All the cartoons are bad for kids to grow healthily today. |
| D．Parents should stop their kids watching too many today’s cartoons. |
On a stormy day last August, Tim heard someone shouting. Looking at the sea carefully, he saw that two kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, had rowed out in a boat to recover a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The boys were terrified and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew that it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls. “I’m trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to shout to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”
“Let’s aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.
“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.

Cell phones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. A cell phone can include many things, such as games, music and internet access. Today, 4.6 billion people around the world have cell phones, according to CBS news.
However, cell phones may cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. In a 2010 study, people who used a cell phone for 10 years or more were more than two times as likely to get brain cancer, according to CNN.
These suggestions may help you reduce your risk of cancer:
1.Use a headset or speaker
Headsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some wireless headsets give out low-level radiation. However, you should take it off your ear when you’re not talking to anyone. Using your phone with a speaker will also make it safer.
2.Listen more, talk less
Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you’re listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
3.Hold the phone away from your body
Hold the phone away from your body when you’re talking, not against your ear. Also, don’t keep it in your pocket.
4.Choose texting over talking
Phones emit less radiation to send texts than to carry a person’s voice. Texting also keeps radiation away from your head.
5.Poor signal? Stay off the phone
Fewer signal bars on your phone mean that the phone needs to give out more radiation to work. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal.From the first paragraph, we know that ____________.
| A．people can do nothing without mobile phone |
| B．cell phones have three new functions |
| C．it’s dangerous to use cell phones too much |
| D．cell phones help us a lot and many people use them |
The study from 2010 showed that _____________
| A．people should use cell phones for no more than 10 years. |
| B．people who don’t use cell phones will not get brain cancer |
| C．the longer people use cell phones, the more likely they are to get brain cancer |
| D．the more cell phones people have, the more likely they are to get brain cancer |
Which is NOT true about the suggestions mentioned in the passage?
| A．Wireless headsets don’t give out radiation. |
| B．It’s not good to carry cell phones in pockets. |
| C．Texting is better than making phone calls. |
| D．Don’t make calls when the signal is weak. |

After eleven years of marriage, a couple had a boy. They were a loving couple and the boy was a gem of their eyes.
