A young prince had just recently become King. In order to rule his kingdom, he decided to learn all the wisdom of world. Therefore, he gathered all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.

Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with their camels, carrying 5000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so shocked that he didn’t know how to start. So he ordered the wise men to condense the books and bring them back to him. Another five years passed. The wise men again went to see the king, this time bringing 500 books, but the king still thought there were too many. Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. At this time, the king was troubled with many problems, but he still felt were too many books.

During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and present it to the king. The king took no interest in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his kingdom---his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases affected his people. He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems. Finally, the king was killed by a ruler in the neighbour country and his country was destroyed.

Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. If there is no action, there can be no gain. Only if we set out to find wisdom can we make a difference.

2.What does the underlined word “condense” mean?

A. Because he didn’t know how to start. B. Because he lost interest and time for it.

C. Because he wasn’t sure about that book. D. Because it didn’t have the wisdom he wanted.

4.What can we learn from this passage?

使其內(nèi)容通順,每空格限填一詞,首字母已給)

Something changed a few years ago. Around 2012, teens started to spend their time much differently from the generation before. I started to notice big difference in teen’s b1.and attitudes in the yearly survey of 11 million young people.

A 2017 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iphone. For this reason, l call them iGen (iphone generation).

What makes iGen different?

Growing up with a smart phone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time on the internet, texting friends and on social media, an average of about six hours per day, so they have less free time for everything else. That i2.going to parties, shopping at the mall or watching movies with their friends. These were o3.the favorite activities of most teens. But now iGen teens are taking part in these social activities at lower rate than others.

A link that should be noticed

I wondered if these changes might be c4.to their deteriorating(退化）mental health. Sure enough, I found that teens who spend more time on screens are less happy and more disappointed. Meanwhile, a 2017 study asked some adults to give up Facebook felt happier, less l5.and less disappointed during the week as they had more free time for social activities like meeting friends, watching movies,etc.

What else is lost?

Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social abilities. A 2016 study showed that the sixth graders who spent just five days at a camp w6.using screens ended time better at reading expressions on others’ faces.

That isn’t to say that iGen teens don't have a7.. They are physically safer and more tolerant (寬容). They also seem to have a stronger work spirit and more realistic expectations. To

my surprise, the iGen teens I interviewed said they preferred seeing their friends in person to communicating with them using their phones.

But it might be just what iGen needs.
