Binge-watching (刷剧) is when a persn watches mre than ne episde f a shw in a rw. With develpments in the speed and cnnectivity f the Internet, increases in technlgy and the rise f n-demand entertainment cmpanies, peple can nw have their favrite shws stream (流播) directly t their televisin at their cnvenience.
This behavir is nthing new. In fact, binge-watching has been fficially listed in dictinaries since 2015. The entertainment cmpanies recgnize this behavir and many take steps t encurage it. Often, instead f releasing each episde n a week-by-week basis, an entire series will becme available cncurrently. Once the episde finishes, many platfrms will display pp-ups with “yu might like” suggestins, r will autmatically play the next episde.
Hwever, recent research suggests that ut f the mre than half f British adults wh watch mre than ne episde f a shw back-t-back (一集接一集地), almst a third have admitted missing sleep r becming tired as a result; and 25% have neglected their husehld chres (家务活). Next we’ll be missing wrk!
Bingeing has ther cnnectins—binge eating, binge drinking and binge smking. All f them are ften assciated with a lack f cntrl and a pssible rute t addictin. Lindsey Fussell, cnsumer grup directr, said, “The days f waiting a week fr the next episde are largely gne, with peple finding it hard t resist (抗拒) watching multiple episdes arund the huse r n the mve.” If peple find binge-watching hard t resist, are we witnessing the birth f a new type f addictin?
The cuntless number f infrmatin and entertainment that televisin and nline media can bring us is, many wuld say, a gd thing. Hwever, when the activity begins t bleed int ther areas, causing us t stp functining, then it becmes a prblem. S, what’s the answer? Mderatin! Neither a tiny amunt, nr t much. After all, as the ld prverb says, “A little f what yu fancy des yu gd.”
28．Hw did the writer develp the first paragraph?
A. By giving a definitin.B. By telling a stry.
C. By listing sme examples.D. By analyzing the cause and effect.
29．Which f the fllwing can best replace the underlined wrd “cncurrently” in Paragraph2?
A. Fr cnvenience.B. At the same time.
C. In detail.D. Free f charge.
30．What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that ______.
A. peple can’t cntrl their feelings
B. peple can’t resist the temptatin f Bingeing
C. peple have n patience t d wrk
D. peple are addicted t waiting fr a new episde
31．What advice did the writer give at last?
A. T keep nline media frm stpping functining.
B. T enjy entertainment as much as pssible.
C. T learn life lessns frm the episdes.
D. T watch episdes in a mderate way.
Yu’ve heard that plastic is plluting the ceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 millin tnnes enter cean ecsystems every year. But des ne plastic straw r cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Vn Wng wants yu t knw that it des. He builds massive sculptures ut f plastic garbage, frcing viewers t re-examine their relatinship t single-use plastic prducts.

Made f 168,000 plastic straws cllected frm several vlunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shpping center in H Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% f glbal plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by n means the biggest surce f plastic pllutin, but they’ve recently cme under fire because mst peple dn’t need them t drink with and, because f their small size and weight, they cannt be recycled. Every straw that’s part f Vn Wng’s artwrk likely came frm a drink that smene used fr nly a few minutes. Once the drink is gne, the straw will take centuries t disappear.
In a piece frm 2018, Vn Wng wanted t illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 secnds, a trucklad’s wrth f plastic enters the cean. Fr this wrk, titled “Trucklad f Plastic,” Vn Wng and a grup f vlunteers cllected mre than 10,000 pieces f plastic, which were then tied tgether t lk like they’d been dumped (倾倒) frm a truck all at nce.
Vn Wng hpes that his wrk will als help pressure big cmpanies t reduce their plastic ftprint.
