I had the meanest mother in the world. 36 other kids ate candy, I had to have cereal, eggs

卡上将该项涂黑。A

Children who talk on cell phones while crossing a street are at a higher risk to get hit by a

vehicle, according to a study by psychologists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

The study included 77 children aged 10 and 11, who completed a dozen of virtual street

crossings. Even children familiar with using cell phones or considered to generally be “highly

attentive” mistimed crossing streets while talking. To be more specific, adolescents

(青少年)

who

talked on the phone, needed 20 percent more time to start crossing the street, and they were 43

percent more likely to be hit by a vehicle, the researchers said. Also, the children checked both

ways 20 percent less often before crossing the street and gave themselves 8 percent less time to

1

cross safely in front of the passing traffic when they were on the phone.

Factors such as age, frequency of cell phone use or pedestrian

(步行者)

experience did not

affect safer pedestrian habits, the study found. According to Despina Stavrinos, a co-author of the

study and a doctoral psychology student at the UAB, children who had just turned 10 were at a

slightly higher risk of being distracted than those who were about to turn 12.

“We found that all children in the study were more distracted when talking on their cell and

crossing the street," said a study co-author David Schwebel.

UAB experts are also planning to continue research in order to determine the way text

messaging or listening to digital music devices impacts a child’s capability to cross a street safely.

“Texting requires a stronger motor component than talking on a cell phone,” Stavrinos said. “With

IPods, there is a reduction in hearing capacity. The study is now ongoing.

In spite of the study’s results, both Schwebel and Stavrinos emphasized that they were not

against mobile phones and were not trying to discourage children from using them, which they

recognized could be an important tool of convenience and safety. They just advise to limit the cell

phone use while being in the streets, and pay more attention to traffic.

56. The passage is intended to ________.

A. warn child pedestrians of the cell-phone use danger

B. show children how to use cell phones properly

C. tell children about crossing street safely

D. report a research about cell-phone usage

57. Both Schwebel and Stavrinos ________.

A. are actually trying to encourage children to use cell phones

B. suggest children using cell phones appropriately

C. think children crossing the street are more likely to get hurt

D. wonder cell phones offer people convenience and safety

58. What does the underlined word “distracted” probably mean?

A. Focused. B. Disturbed. C. Encouraged. D. Rewarded.

59. According to the study, specifically, it took the children on the cell phone ______.

A. 43% longer to begin crossing the street

B. 8% longer to cross safely in the passing traffic

C. 20% longer to check both ways

D. 20% longer to begin crossing the street

60. We can infer from the passage children ________.

A. walking and talking on the phone appears to be dangerous

B. texting spend more time crossing the street than on cell phones

C. are more distracted in the virtual environment than in real life

D. familiar with using cell phones don’t mistime crossing streets

B

Once upon a time, families kept a sense of their history through passing on their lives to the

younger generation by word of mouth. That kind of transmission

(传递)

is beautiful in its way, but

it can be unreliable.

Today it doesn’t have to be that way. We have so many means of recording lives: photographs,

videos and audio.

Google “family history” and you’ll see that millions of people all over the world are posting

their work on the Internet. In 100 years, our great-grandchildren will be able to learn about the

lives of past generation by going online.
