Do you have a mobile phone? Have you ever used it at school and shared it with your classmates? Primary and middle school students will not be allowed to bring mobile phones to schools, the Ministry of Education (教育部) said. Parents need to give a written application (申请) if their children do need to bring mobile phones to schools. At the same time, the students should hand in their mobile phones to schools during school time, the ministry said in a notice.

With the rapid development, more and more people can have mobile phones easily including young children. However, the worries that they may cause bad results are becoming popular. The notice from the Ministry of Education wants to play a part in protecting students’ eyesight, make sure they pay more attention to study and stop them from becoming addictive to the internet and online games.

Some countries in Europe have rules to limit (限制) the usage of mobile phones among children. There are less limitations in China. “I think the notice is important.” said Zhang Jing, a middle school teacher in Beijing. “It makes it clear that we should set up rules in time to help students spend less time on mobile phones.”

It is also important for parents to limit the use of mobile phones at home. Some parents watch videos and listen to music with mobile phones as their children do homework. Parents should set a good example to help their children have good habits and a healthy lifestyle.

 C. Most parents use mobile phones as their children do homework.

Life can be unfair, but it doesn’t have to be filled with unhappiness. A couple from Pingzi village, Yunnan Province, shows that: beating all the difficulties to find love, build a family and pull themselves out of poverty (贫穷).

At the age of 6, Zhang Shundong lost his right arm and seriously damaged his feet. Later, his lower legs were amputated (截肢). Li Guoxiu is his wife. She was born without arms in a poor family. Li learned how to work with her feet when she was young — cooking, washing clothes, mopping the floor and feeding livestock.   

In spring, Zhang fetched water from the mountain, while Li planted rice. In autumn, Zhang picked the corn cobs (玉米棒) with his left hand and put them in a basket that Li carried on her back. But things became more difficult when their two children were born.

Their daughter, Zhang Guanqiong, 27, remembers the life in the past. “I did chores and take care of my brother when I was 5 or 6 years old. I always wanted to grow faster to help the family,” she said. Her brother, Zhang Guanyun, 25, said his parents worked on the farm from early morning until deep into the night to earn more money. 

Now the daughter is a math teacher at a primary school. The son gave up his job this year to take care of his father. Zhang Guanyun said his parents no longer do hard farm work. They sell corn seeds and are developing skills to help others sell local products online.

In February this year, Zhang and Li became national representatives (全国代表) for poverty-alleviation (脱贫) and family role models for disabled people.

31. Zhang Shundong and Li Guoxiu are _______.

 A. Brother and sister.  B. Husband and wife.  C. Neighbors.

32. What did Li Guoxiu learn to do when she was young?

 A. Mopping the floor.  B. Walking the dog.  C. Using the Internet.

33. According to the passage, what do you think of the persons’ life in the past?

 A. Interesting.  В. Нard.  C. Care-free.

34. Which of the statement is true?

 A. Zhang Guanqiong is a math teacher at a middle school.

 B. Zhang Guanyun gave up his job to look after his mother.

 C. Zhang Shundong and Li Guoxiu are role models for disabled people.

35. What is the best title of the passage?

 A. I Can Be Your Arms and You Can Be My Legs

 B. A Normal Family

 C. National Representatives in Yunnan Province

第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)

There is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” 36. __________________ Studies show that people who perform kind acts are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other people.

In one study at Arizona State University, scientists found that many volunteers experienced a feeling of joy after performing a kind act. 37. __________________ Stress can cause serious health problems and sleeping problems. However, the study found that volunteers had fewer stress-related (相关的) health problems when they did helpful things for other people.
