Being able to multitask

—

doing several things at the same time

—

is considered (

考

虑，认为

)

a

welcome

skill

by

most

people.

But

if

we

consider

the

situation

of

the

young

people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.

What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic

devices

(

电子产品

)

as

they

study.

While

working,

they

also

surf

on

the

Internet,

send

out

emails,

answer

the

telephone

and

listen

to

music

on

their

iPods.

In

a

sense,

they

are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (

努力

) as they multitask.

Multitasking

is

even

changing

the

relationship

between

family

members.

As

young

people

give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with

the

other

people

around

them.

They

can

no

longer

greet

family

members

when

they

enter

the house, nor can they eat at the family table.

Multitasking also has an effect (

影响) on young people’s performance at university

and

in

the

workplace.

When

asked

about

their

opinions

of

the

effects

of

modern

gadgets

(

器具

) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (

肯定的

)

response

(

回应

).

However,

the

response

from

the

worlds

of

education

and

business

was

not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious

effect

on

later

development

of

study

skills.

They

believe

that

many

college

students

now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (

雇主

) feel that

young

people

entering

the

job

market

need

to

be

taught

all

over

again,

as

modern

gadgets

have made it unnecessary (

没必要

) for them to learn special skills to do their work.

1. What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean?

A.

Want

to

buy.

B.

Use

at the same time.

C. Take the place of.

D. Search

information from.

2. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that__________.

1

A. family members do not greet each other

B. family members do not eat at the family table

C. young people get on well with their families

D. young people hardly communicate with their family members

3. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.

B. Young people benefit (

获益

) a lot from modern gadgets.

C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.

D. Multitasking influences young people’s development seriously.

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.

B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.

C. Educators feel that young people don’t need to improve their study skills.

D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on

children’s later study skills.

5. The author develops (

阐述

) the passage mainly by__________.

A. providing special examples

B. following the natural time order

C. giving out a cause and analyzing (

分析

) its effects

D. comparing opinions from different worlds

中考英语阅读理解分类练习：教育类

When so

mething goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s

so-and-

so’s

mistake.”

or

“I

know

I’m

late,

but

it’s

not

my

mistake；

the

bus

was

late.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming(责

备

)

somebody

or

something

else

for

a

bad

situation,

you

are

a

loser.

You

have

no

power

and

could

do

nothing

that

helps

change

the

situation.

However,

you

can

have

great

power

over

what

happens

to

you

if

you

stop

paying

attention

to

whom

to

blame

and

start

paying

2

attention to how to impr

ove the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming(

克服

) problems. For example, if you were late

because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a

taxi

or

call

friends

for

help

when

in

need.

For

another

example,

if

your

workmate

causes

you problems on the job

for short of

responsibility(

责任心< /p>

) or ability,

find ways of

dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.

Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs. You

should

accept that the person is not

reliable(

可靠的

) and find creative

ways to

work

successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.

This

is

what

being

a

winner

is

all

about

—

creatively

using

your

skills

and

talents

so

that

you

are

successful

no

matter

what

happens.

Winners

don’t

have

fewer

problems

in

their

lives

；

they

have

just

as

many

difficult

situations

to

face

as

anybody

else.

They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges(

挑战

) and chances to

develop

their

own

talents.

So,

stop

paying

attention

to

“whose

mistake

it

is.”

Once

you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping

stones for success.

C

“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”

“I often check my e

-

mail forty times a day.”

“I often spend more than three hours during one

time on the net.

”

“I spend more time in chat rooms(聊天室) than with my ‘real

-

1ife’ friends

.

”

Do

you

know

any

people

like

these?

They

are

part

of

a

new

addiction(

瘾

)

called

Internet

addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week.

The

use

of

the

Internet

can

be

an

addiction

like

drug(

毒品

)

use.

People

lose

control(

控

制

) of the time they spend on the Internet

For

example,

one

college

student

was

missing

for

several

days.

His

friends

were

worried,

and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was

surfing the net for several days straight.

Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry

about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.

They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.

Is “surfing

the

net” a hobby or an

addiction for you? You may have

a problem if you

have these symptoms(

症状

):

●You do not go to important family activities or you do

not do school work because

you like to spend hours on the Internet.

●You can’t wait for your next online time

.

●

You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
