四、任务型阅读

Amanda is an American film-maker and actress. She came to China to study Performance (表演) at Beijing Film Academy(学院) from 2008 to 2010. In May, 2010, she moved to Japan to study Economics(经济) at the University of Tokyo. On June 10, 2010, she returned to the USA. She chatted with her parents about the cultural differences between the two countries.

“The people in both countries are very friendly to foreigners. But they have different cultures. For example, when I spoke Chinese in China, the people there always showed surprise on their faces. But when I came to Japan, I found it was opposite(相反). Most local people there hoped I could talk with them in Japanese, though I was not good at it,” she said.

Amada thought this might have something to do with the fact that the Western group in Japan is older than the one in China. They have stayed in Japan for a long time. And most of them speak Japanese well. But Westerners in China are still quite a new group. They’re usually treated as guests(客人) and tourists.

1. ___________ 2. ___________ 3. ___________ 4. ___________ 5. ___________

6. ___________ 7. ___________ 8. ___________ 9. ___________ 10. ___________

五、阅读回答问题

Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages(发短信) to your friends and family?

Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling in our thumbs. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons over and over again. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10 - 15 minutes once, we could have problems in the future.

As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computer and mobile phones or playing video games. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
