Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters. ‎ In India, 10yearold Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter(反对) the myth that they are not responsible. “People think we're treated too kindly and ruined，” says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. “But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get. ”‎ 7‎ Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book，The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable(易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more security. “The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it，” he says. “After all, I am left with that responsibility. ”‎ In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unjust. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要讲述了独生子女在社会生活中所遇到的种种困难和挑战的同时，还要面对社会对他们的诸多偏见。‎ ‎1.

We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language. We use the Internet to connect with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about. ‎ The list goes on and on. ‎ As far as the Internet being a part of our lives—well, that train has left the station. That expression means there is no going back. If you prefer boating, you can say that ship has sailed. ‎ So, there may be no going back to an Internetfree life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? ‎ It might be, say researchers. ‎ Study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure. ‎ High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. ‎ High blood pressure can also cause heart and kidney disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia, a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason. ‎ Let's introduce something about the study of it. ‎ The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. It involved 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old. One hundred thirtyfour of the teens were described ‎ 7‎ as “heavy Internet users”. Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. ‎ The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use and high blood pressure. Other research has connected that heavy Internet use with health problems including anxiety, depression and obesity. ‎ The lead researcher of the study is Andrea CassidyBushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn't consume us. ”‎ For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week”．‎ Ms. CassidyBushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity”．‎ She also suggests that parents limit their children's use of the Internet to two hours a day, five days a week. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　互联网如此有用并且已经融入我们的生活， 但过度使用它， 会引发多种健康问题。‎ ‎5．The first two paragraphs mean that ________. ‎ A．the list of the function of the Internet is too long to be endless B．the Internet has too many uses to count C．the number of the people in the world using the Internet is too many to count D．the list of the uses of the Internet is being lengthened day by day 解析：选B　细节理解题。由第一段第一句“The Internet plays a big part in human life. ”和第二段“The list goes on and on. ”可知， B项符合题意。‎ ‎6．The reason of increasing people's risk of a heart attack or stroke is that ________. ‎ A．they use the Internet too much B．they pay little attention to their health C．high blood pressure makes their heart and blood vessels work too hard D．using the Internet too much makes their heart and blood vessels work too hard 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第七段“High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. ”可知，高血压使得人们的心脏和血管超负荷运行。长此以往， 这种超负荷运行会增加心脏病和中风发生的风险。可知C项正确。 ‎ ‎7．Which of the following may using the Internet too much contribute to besides ‎ 7‎ teenagers' high blood pressure? ‎ A．Anxiety, depression and obesity. ‎ B．Memory disorders, and personality changes. ‎ C．Dementia, a brain disease. ‎ D．A heart attack or stroke. ‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第十一段内容可知，科研人员说研究结果表明过度使用互联网首先导致高血压。其他研究结果表明还可导致其他健康问题， 如： 忧虑、情绪低落和肥胖。故A项正确。‎ ‎8．Ms. CassidyBushrow suggests that the proper time children spend using the Internet should be ________. ‎ A．25 hours a week B．10 hours a week C．5 hours a day D．14 hours a week 解析：选B　细节理解题。最后一段句意：她还建议家长应该把孩子使用互联网的时间限制在每天两小时， 每周五天。故B项正确。‎ Ⅲ. 语法填空 Everybody in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way 1. ________ (find) it.
