Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered (考慮，認(rèn)為) 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 (電子產(chǎn)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 (影響) 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 (回應(yīng)). 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 (沒必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work.
小題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.
小題2:In Paragraph 3, the author points out that__________.

A．Young people must learn skills for future jobs.
B．Young people benefit (獲益) a lot from modern gadgets.

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.
小題5: The author develops (闡述) 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

小題1:B

小題1:B. 此題為詞義猜測題。從doing several things at the same time可以看出在young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(電子產(chǎn)品)as they study中juggle表示同時在干... ...
小題1:D. 此題為細(xì)節(jié)判斷。從They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they cat at the family table. 可以判斷出答案為D.
小題1:D. 此題為歸納大意試題。從本段主題句Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. 可以得出答案為D.
小題1:A. 根據(jù)文章第四段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 (回應(yīng)).可知A是正確的。

In the US, the most popular way to welcome the new year is with a big party. Some parties are at private homes. But in recent years, it has become more and more common for Americans to go to a hotel or eating-place on the night of December 31st. There, they can eat a big dinner, drink champagne, and dance to orchestra music.
Most New Year’s parties are usually noisy. People shout and sing. And often, guests blow on small noisemakers when the new year arrives at midnight. This tradition of noise making is believed to start centuries ago. People thought that loud sounds would drive away the bad spirits of the old year.
The biggest, noisiest New Year’s party in the US takes place in Times Square in New York. Thousands of people gather(聚集) there. Some of them ring bells and set fireworks. Others blow whistles of car horns(喇叭). And at twelve o’clock, they begin to cheer as an electric sign in the shape of a red apple lights up on top of a tall building.
The Times Square celebration includes another well-known American tradition. Since 1929, the band of musician Guy Lombardo has given a concert on New Year’s Eve. Guy Lombardo died in 1977. But, Bill Lombardo, has kept the tradition alive with a band concert at a New York city hotel. When the crowds in Times Square start cheering the arrival of the new year, television cameras show the band playing the song Auld Lang Syne.
