The man came early in February, one cold day, through a strong wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, walking from Bramble Hurst railway station and carrying a little black bag in his thickly gloved hand． He was wrapped（包裹）up from head to foot, and the big hat hid every inch of his face but his nose; the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and added a white cover to the bag he carried．

He rushed into the “Coach and Horses” more dead than alive, and threw his bag on the floor． “A fire,” he cried,  “in the name of human charity! A room and a fire!” He shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed Mrs． Hall into her guest parlour（客厅）．

Mrs． Hall lit the fire and left him there while she went to prepare him a meal with her own hands． As soon as the meal was well under way, she carried cloth, plates, and glasses into the parlour． Although the fire was burning up, she was surprised to see that her visitor still wore his hat and coat, standing with his back to her and looking out of the window at the falling snow in the yard． He seemed to be lost in thought．

“Can I take your hat and coat, sir?” she said, “and give them a good dry in the kitchen?”

“No,” he said without turning．

She was not sure if he had heard her, and was about to repeat her question． He turned his head and looked at her over his shoulder． “I like to keep them on,” he said, and she noticed that he wore big blue glasses, and had a bush side-whisker（胡须）that hid his whole face．

“Very well, sir,” she said． “As you like． In a bit the room will be warmer． And your lunch is ready, sir．”

“Thank you,” he said at the same time, and did not move until she was closing the door．

Cell phones and smartphones are a big part of modern life． Many people use them every day, including kids and teens． Now a lot of people are talking about if phones should be allowed in school．

Let’s get a clear picture of the situation first． 53% of children will own a smartphone by the age of 11 in the US． That number rises up to 95% in teenagers． Surveys show that as well as passing the time, 83% of kids use their phones to learn． Teens can spend over 7 hours a day looking at screens．

These are just some of the many, many statistics about cell phones among teens． From this, we can see that mobile technology is a big part of life for today’s teenagers．

Cell phones in school do have the power of providing super educational help． Cell phones can be used for education through the many educational apps and games out there． Mobile app stores are filled with educational materials for children of all ages． Students can also surf the Internet on their phone． There are plenty of educational resources online, from scientific research papers to exam tips and more．

At the same time, with so many kids spending hours a day looking at their phone screens, there may be problems． One of the big problems that many people talk about with phones in school is the risk of them becoming a distraction (分散注意)． Kids could start looking at their phones while the teacher is talking and miss out on key information, for example． There’s also a risk of kids being unwilling to go out with friends or communicate with other people if they’re too distracted by their screens． It’s even possible for children of different ages to develop addictions (瘾) on their phones． Some studies have shown that phones could cause mental (精神的) illness．

This means that the government needs to weigh up the fors and againsts before deciding about stopping or allowing phones in school．

21． What does the underlined word statistics mean? ________

A． Problems．                B． Stories．                    C． Facts．                      D． Events．

22． What is the reason for using phones in school according to the article? ________

①Phones can be used by people of all ages．

②Phones have apps to help with kids’ study．

③Phones allow students to play video games safely．

④Phones can help students know how to do well in exams．

A． ①②                          B． ③④                          C． ②④                          D． ①③

23． Which of the following may the writer agree with? ________

A． Nearly all the children have phones in the USA．

B Phones in school can greatly improve the students’ learning．

C． Teachers fully support the children in using phones in school．

D． The government should think twice about using phones in school．

Whether you like it or not, Monday morning is coming． But it doesn’t have to be stressful (有压力的)． There are things to do on Sunday that can not only set you up for success through your week but also make Mondays enjoyable．

Eating healthy food can be as simple as being prepared so you have better-for-you choices on hand through your busy week． Make a plan when shopping and put healthy fruits, vegetables on top of your list． The choices you make for your health and happiness are an expression of self-love, so choosing foods that you enjoy and support your health is an important way to invest (投资) in your happiness．

You will feel you can manage your life when some of the housework you want to put off are taken care of in time． A one-hour-deep clean can make a huge difference in not only your home environment but also how you feel for the rest of the week． If cleaning the bathroom seems to be difficult to you, start with a quick cleanup of the kitchen or tidy up the living room．

Self-care doesn’t always mean hot baths or face masks． Sometimes, self-care means feeling in control of your money． Getting in the habit of checking your money often can give you a good idea of where you’re spending and where you can be saving．

Got the Sunday Scary (恐惧)? That’s because there’s nothing during the week that you look forward to． Plan your week with more than just work meetings and make time for things you’ll look forward to． For example, plan a dinner with friends, a call with your mom, or a couple of hours of alone time to read your favorite book． Instead of looking at Sundays as an end to a good weekend, start looking at Sundays as the beginning of a very exciting week．

Follow these ways and you’re about to start enjoying your Mondays．

24． Why do you need to eat healthy food? ________

A． To have a simple Monday morning．

B． To enjoy your favourite food．

C． To look after yourself in a busy week．

D． To plan for the coming week．

25． Which of the following is true about housework according to Paragraph 3? ________

A． You’d better not put off your housework till next week．

B． It is important to have a one-hour-deep clean every day．

C． Cleaning the bathroom can be hard work for all the people．

D． You have to clean your kitchen first when doing housework．

26． What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 5? ________

A． Plan your work well at weekends．

B． Make enjoyable plans for the week．

C． Look forward to the exciting Sundays．

D． Care more about your parents and friends．

27． What is the best title of the article? ________

A． What to do with your money

B． Where to go to have a rest

C When to tidy up your house

D． How to prepare for a new week
