American children are not the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending 3 hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to the study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.

From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children were not getting enough exercise and that it made no difference whether they live in a rich or a poor country. “With regards to physical levels, we didn’t find much of a difference between rich and poor countries,” Guthold said, “Growing up in a poor country doesn’t necessarily mean kids get more physical activities.”

The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outdoors for at least 5 days a week. Children spending 3 or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games or chatting with friends were classified as sedentary.

The researchers found only a quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30% of girls were sedentary and didn’t get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.

Girls from India were the most active with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active with 4 percent getting enough exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary while the most sedentary nations were St .Lucia and the Cayman Islands.

People show deep concern for kids’ lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold figured that urbanization could be a factor as well as easy access to cars and TVs.

Body language has been used for thousands of years. Some scientists, especially those who believe in the evolution, understand body language to have been the initial communication method in the early man. This is yet to be proven and it is quite possible. However, it is imperative to understand that different kinds of body language vary in their use from one culture to another.

It is very important that you understand the meanings of different kinds of body language in different communities before using them. For example, some years back, the President of the United States, Richard Nixon, visited a foreign country in which he knew nothing regarding their culture. When he arrived in the presidential jet and got outside, having nothing to say as he never understood their language, he stood in the doorway then with a broad smile on his face and did the “peace” body sign of two fingers in the air. The crowd started shouting and it was later learnt that the two fingers, which we perceive as a symbol of peace, were an offensive sign to the locals of that country.

Another common cultural difference in body language is the “thumbs up”. In Northern America for example, this sign means that everything is going on fine or “I need a ride” if made in a highway. On the other hand, with the Greeks as an example, a “thumbs up”, especially when done with a rapid upward and slow downward motion means “up yours”.

It is very important that you know your target audience if you plan on traveling to foreign countries. This will help avoid insulting them by understanding body language meaning of your culture to them or from them to you. This will save you a lot from both frustrations and punishment.

5.         What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To explain the body language                              B. To show the communication methods.  

C. To introduce the topic of this passage.                D. To prove the history of body language.

6.         What does the underlined word “imperative” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Difficult.                 B. Necessary.                             C. Common.                D. Special.

7.         Richard Nixon is mentioned in the second paragraph in order to tell us that ______.

A. he was a great American President                      B. he knew little about custom and culture.

C. American culture is different from others        D. Body language is different in different cultures.

8.         The author develops the main idea of this passage by _______.

A. listing some practical facts                                 B. giving some good examples  

C. telling some interesting stories                            D. comparing the different languages

Cats and dogs aren’t usually friendly but they can work together well when there’s a common goal.

Matt Hirst’s pets were recently caught on camera conspiring to open the kitchen door while the master was away.

According to his post on Reddit, Hirst — who lives in the U.K. — had been arriving home all week to notice one of the doors open, even though he knew he shut it before he left. After the fourth time the door was open he decided to set up a hidden camera.

“The first time, I assumed I just must have left the door open. The second time, I checked the whole house thinking that someone was breaking in (and began to suspect the cat).           The third time I figured it must be the cat, and decided to catch him out, so set the camera up and left it going all day,” he wrote.

Just three hours after leaving the house, the cat jumps up onto a scratch tower and starts pawing at the door.

It takes the cat just over a minute to finally break through and then both cat and dog escape to the other side.

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert system using text messages delivered to cell phones.

Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.

The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.

“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.

Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.

The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.

There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.

The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats,” which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.

The service could be in place by 2014.

61. What is the purpose of the approved plan?

A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.

B. To popularize the use of cell phones.

C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.

D. To promote the wireless industry.

62. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ______.

A. CTIA                                                 B. the Warning Alert and Response Network

C. FCC                                                  D. federal regulators

63. Who determines the carriers’ participation in the system?

A. The US federal government.                     B. The law of the United States.

C. The carriers themselves.                          D. Mobile phone users.

64. Under which circumstance will an alert message not be sent?

A. A child loses his way.                              B. A terrorist attack occurs.

C. A natural disaster happens.                       D. A university shooting happens.

65. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students.

B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry.

C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters.

D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon.

A recent report on online education, made by SRI International for the Department of Education, has a serious academic title, but a most interesting conclusion: “Students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction.”
    The report examined the research on online and traditional classroom teaching from 1996 to 2008. Some of it was in K-12 settings, but most of the studies were in colleges and adult continuing education programs.
    Over the 12 years, the report found 99 studies in which there were comparisons of online and classroom performance for the same courses. The result of the Department of Education’s research showed that usually, students doing some or all of the course online would rank a little higher than the classroom students with little but meaningful difference.
    “The importance of the study lies in showing that online learning today is not just better than nothing — it actually tends to be better than traditional instruction.” said Barbara Means, the study’s lead author and an educational psychologist at SRI International.
    This hardly means that we’ll be saying goodbye to classrooms. But the report does suggest that online education could be set to develop sharply over the next few years.
    Until fairly recently, online education totaled to little. That has really changed with the arrival of web-based video, instant messaging and teamwork tools.
    The real promise of online education, experts say, is providing learning experiences that are more suitable for individual students than is possible in classrooms. That allows more “learning by doing,” which many students find more attractive and useful.
    “We are at a turning point in online education,” said Philip R. Regier, the leader of Arizona State University’s Online and Extended Campus program.
    The biggest near-term growth, Mr. Regier predicts, will be in continuing education programs.

Many of us feel somehow nervously whenever we are taking an important exam. Nervousness not only does harm to students’ health but disturb their studies. So it’s necessary for our students to learn to relax. I think it’s very important to have a right attitude for exams. Exams are only a means of checking how we have learned. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much the results of the exams. Before an exam, make a scientific study plan and keeping a peaceful mind must help to reduce the pressure from the exam. We can also relax ourselves by doing sports and listening to music. Beside, enough sleep and a balanced diet will work as well.

Follow my advice and so you will enjoy your school life.
