17、ery bit the workhorse that full-size pickup truck buyers have come to expect. 2022 Jeep GladiatoThe 2022 Jeep Gladiator is an honest-to-goodness pick truck. Its skilled at towing and pulling, its exceptionally capable off road, and its inner part is roomy and built to last. The trade- off is that th

22、whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger. There are few things I enjoy more than complaining about my geographic isolation. Im a vegetarian, so theres nowhere to go for a nice dinner that isnt 50 miles away. Im black, so theres nowhere to get my hair done that doesnt involve another 50-mile driv
23、e. And the closest major airport is two hours away. I recite these gripes to my friends. We all have grand ideas about what life would be like if only we did that, or lived there. And theres this; I really dont intend to change most of the things I complain about. Griping is seductive on those days
24、when happiness requires too much energy. But it also makes me lose sight of the fact that I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I go to the coasts, I am struck by how unappealing big-city living can be.While I may not love where I live, t

29、iagnoses (诊断) of anxiety or depression in children as young as age 2, according to a new study. Even after only one hour of screen time daily, children and teens may begin to have less curiosity, lower self-control, less emotional stability and a greater inability to finish tasks, reports San Diego
30、State University psychologist Jean Twenge and University of Ceorgia psychology professor W. Keith Campbell. They were particularly interested in associations between screen time and diagnoses of anxiety and depression in youth, which has not yet been studied in great detail. Twenge and Campbell foun
31、d adolescents who spend more than seven hours a day on screens were twice as likely as those spending one hour to have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression. Overall, links between screen time and well-being were larger among adolescents than among young children. “At first, I was surprised that
32、 the associations were larger for adolescents,” Twenge said. “However, adolescents spend more time on their phones and on social media, and these activities are more strongly linked to low well-being than watching television and videos, which is most of younger childrens screen time.” The study prov
33、ides further evidence that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) established screen time limitsone hour per day for those aged 2 to 5, with a focus on high-quality programsare valid (有效的), Twenge said. The study also suggests that similar limitsperhaps to two hours a day-should be applied to scho
34、ol-aged children and adolescents, said Twenge. In terms of prevention, establishing possible causes and outcomes of low psychological well- being is especially important for child and adolescent populations. “Half of mental health problems develop by adolescence,” Twenge and Campbell wrote in their

38、asy to think that technology can solve it and that we only need to find the right technology to solve the problem. But this approach ignores valuable lessons concerned with how we acquire knowledge. To understand how false news comes, start with an example. Imagine youre out for drinks when one of y
39、our friends shocks the table with an unproven story about a local famous people. The story is so shocking youre not sure it could be right. But then, heres your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it. This is an instance of what philosophers call testimony (证词
40、). Its similar to the sort of testimony given in a courtroom, but it is less formal and much more frequent. Testimony happens any time you believe something because someone else proves the accuracy of the information. Most of our knowledge about the world is secondhand knowledge that comes to us thr
41、ough testimony. After all, we cant each do all of our own scientific research, or make our own maps of distant cities. Social media has strange testimonial rules, and it is hard to solve the problem of false news. On Facebook, Twitter and similar platforms, people dont always mean what they say, and

All it was is a retwee
43、t. It wasnt from me.” Intellectually (理智上), we know that people do this all of the time on social media, and pass along news without checking its accuracy, but many of us listen to them anyway. The information they share is just too attractive to ignore-especially when it is about our existing polit

What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3?A. The statement in court.B. The talk in a restaurant.C. The evidence of a c

We will identify with them readily.D. Social media dont check the information.15. What may be the best

Talk with your child about their work. _16_. When we ask “What is it?”, we are saying that it should look like something wed recognize. Instead, a
48、sk open-ended questions like “Tell me about your picture.” You can also describe specific things your child is doing by saying things such as, “Youre making short lines. I see you are using red, green and blue.”Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child an

Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment and use their imagin
50、ations. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times-this is all part of the creative process. Support, dont lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by someone else? _19_. So let them decide what materials they want to use and how an
