ACommon Sense Media is a non profit group in the United States that studies children's use of media and technology.The group has done a survey asking teachers about the effects of their students' use of entertainment media.Entertainment media was defined as the TV shows, music, video games that students use for fun.Many teachers said they believe media use has hurt academic performance,which in some cases is already not very strong.Vicky Rideout wrote the report for Common Sense Media.“We have merely four in ten students feel poor at reading, at oral communication and more than that thing the students wrongly fear report writing。
So we need to make sure that everything kids are doing is helping to accelerate progress and not preventing it.”The survey involved 685 teachers around the country。

Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional togetherness(友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together.”These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone’s musical interests.With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue(举办地)for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusabledishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as V an Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund(基金) concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug. 8.35. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to________.A. gather people with different musical tastesB. remind people of the real sense of folk musicC. exhibit the good voices of great talents in folk musicD. collect old stories of folk music36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Riedel has volunteered for the festival for at least 5 years.B. It’s hard for people to appreciate Blues.C. It costs people a little to fill up their cups from water stations.D. People have to pay $2 for a plate of food.37. We can learn from the passage that________.A. people can get tickets easily for the festivalB. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is well organizedC. driving one’s own car to the festival is highly recommendedD. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to Sunday38. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Folk Music of BluesB. One Festival for AllC. Festival for Family GatheringD. Edmonton’s Downtown Park答案课时作业(十一)Ⅰ.1.A考查词义及搭配。

课时提能练(十六)必修4Unit 11The Media(B)(对应学生用书第275页)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·深圳第一次调研)Much information can be conveyed,purely through our eyes,so the expression“eyes also talk”is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement?On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger,but not make eye contact.If he senses that he is being stared at,he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life.If you are stared at for more than necessary,you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry about others' staring at you that way.Eyes do convey information,right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视),his intentions are obvious.That is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However,the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking,to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you,you will feel uneasy.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim,since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact,continuous eye contact happens between lovers only,who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time,to show love that words cannot express.Evidently,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between twopeople and the specific situation.【语篇解读】本文介绍了“眼睛会说话”的观点,告诉我们不同场合的眼神交流所代表的不同含义。

课时提能练(十五) 必修4Unit 11TheMedia(A)(对应学生用书第273页)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·甘肃省兰州市高考实战模拟考试)My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Lowa.My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger and considered everyone in that community her friend.That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a young girl,I felt embarrassed and cringed(畏缩)every time my mother addressed strangers in the grocery store or on the city bus.She talked to everyone and offered a smile.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus,a story I've repeated to others many times.The weeks I could not be there,she used this low-cost transportation to the grocery store.After her first trip,I asked her how it went.“Ha!”she said,“I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man,and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the somberness(忧郁的氛围)on that bus would change.On my next visit,Mom mentioned the ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“Oh,are you talking with them now?”I asked.“Of course,”she said,“One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat,I gave them a big smile and I said,‘Isn't it a wonderful day?’I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up.She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long,the whole group was laughing and talking to one another.The bus became more than just transportation.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life.I smile at people as I walk by and often begin a conversation in the checkout line.Silent,solemn(严肃的)people respond with smiles of their own and a bit of chatter.All it takes is for one person toinitiate(发起)the smile or greeting.It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded.My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example.She'd given me a recipe for life.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了作者的母亲积极乐观的人生态度对作者的影响。
【长难句分析】What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus,a story I've repeated to others many times.分析:本句是一个复合句。
句中What引导主语从句,在从句中作主语;a story是her experience的同位语;I've repeated to others many times为定语从句,修饰先行词a story,关系词that/which在从句中作宾语而被省略。
译文:真正让我接受妈妈的这种人生态度的是她坐老年巴士的经历,这个故事我给他人已经讲了很多遍了。

]B(2017·银川4月检测)Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit;most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down.While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other,it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in BloodPressureMonitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure.The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance,making it even harder for the blood to circulate.This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart.You won't feel any immediate effects,but repeated,drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues.So,planning to sit for a long period of time?Don't keep your legs crossed.“Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg,”explains Richard Graves,a medical expert.This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis(麻痹)of some of the muscles in your foot and leg,preventing you from beingable to raise your ankle—what we know as that“pins and needles”sensation.While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two,repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down,try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor.Not only will it help your posture and stability,but it will also save your health in the long run.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。
