18、ts.Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.The newly formed Wild Network,a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations,is attempting to attract yo
19、ungsters away from television and computer screens and into fields,woods and parks.Organizers say it is the UKs biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play,and claim it could help improve fitness,mental alertness and general wellbeing.A documentary film,Project Wild Thin
20、g,will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday.It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.Members of the network include the National Trust,RSPB,Play England and the NHS Sustainable Development Unit.Andy Simpson,chairman of Wild Network,said,“Th

27、s summer is spent in the street in front of his home，and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball.I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missingnot out of special cruelty,but because
28、they took it for granted that I would be no good at it.They were right，of course.I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed.The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark.Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊)that stuck out from th
29、e candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs.No grownup ever sat there or attempted to.There the boys would sit,mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow.Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one.It was j
30、ust after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed.I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question；but whoever he was，I nod to him gratefully now.“Whats in those books youre always reading？”he asked casually.“Stories,”I answer
31、ed.“What kind？”asked somebody else without much interest.Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did，for usually I just sat there in silence，glad enough to be allowed to remain among them；but instead of answering his question，I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment.The boo
32、k was Sister Carrie.They listened bugeyed and breathless.I must have told it well，but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them so keen an audience.Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of mans entertainments，but I was offering them as well，without be
33、ing aware of doing it，a new and exciting experience.The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or GA.Henry.I had read them too，but at thirteen I had long since left them behind.Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the booksforboys ser
34、ies.In those days there was no reading material between childrens and grownups books，or I could find none.I had gone right from Tom Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie.Dreiser had hit my young mind，and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I h
35、ad had in reading it.The next night and many nights thereafter，a kind of unspoken ritual(仪式)took place.As it grew dark，I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evenings tale.Some nights，in order to taste my victory more completely，I cheated.I would stop at the most exciting par
36、t of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte，and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening.It was not true，of course；but I had to make certain of my newlyfound power and position.I enjoyed the long summer evenings un
37、til school began in the fall.Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences，but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store，I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.60.The writer feels grateful even now to the boy w
38、ho asked the question because the boy _.A.invited him to join in their game B.liked the book that he was reading C.broke the long silence of that summer evening D.offered him an opportunity that changed his life 61.According to Paragraph 3，storytelling was popular among the boys basically because _.

41、its are developed from childhood.C You may not pay much attention to your daily lift ride.Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it.But Lee Gray,PhD,of the University of North Carolina,the US,has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public
42、 transport.He is known as the“Lift Guy”“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette(礼仪)is sort of odd(奇怪的)，”Gray told the BBC.“They(Lifts)are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door.If someone else comes in,we ma
43、y have to move.And here,according to Gray,lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements.He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift,you can do whatever you wantits your own little box.If there are two of you,you go into different cor
44、ners,standing diagonally(对角线地)across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters,you will unconsciously form a triangle.And when there is a fourth person,it becomes a square,with someone in every corner.A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to
45、 the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively.Once in,for most people the rule is simplelook down,or look at their phones.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You dont have enough space，”Professor Babette Renneberg,a clinical psychologist at the Free Unive
46、rsity of Berlin,told the BBC.“Usually when we meet other people,we have about an arms length of distance between us.And thats not possible in most lifts.”In such a small,enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed(解释)as threatening or odd.“The easiest way to do
47、this is to avoid eye contact，”she said.64.The main purpose of the article is to _ A.remind us to enjoy ourselves in the lift B.tell us some unwritten rules of lift etiquette C.share an interesting but awkward lift ride D.analyze what makes people feel awkward in a lift 65.According to Gray,when peop
48、le enter a lift,they usually _ A.turn around and greet one another B.look around or examine their phones C.make eye contact with those in the lift D.try to keep a distance from other people 66.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in a lift?(The
49、 point in the chart refers to one person)D Thirty years ago,the Earnshaw family lived at Wuthering Heights,with two teen-aged children Hindley and Catherine.Mr.Earnshaw travels to Liverpool,where he adopts a homeless Gypsy boy,naming him Heathcliff.Hindley finds himself robbed of his fathers love an
50、d care and becomes bitterly jealous of the newcomer.However,Catherine grows very attached to him.Soon,the two children spend hours on the moors(荒原)together and hate every moment apart.Because of the conflict,Hindley is eventually sent to college.However,he marries a woman named Frances and returns t
