C Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday. While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children?s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading. According to the report?s key findings, “the proportion (比例 ) who say they ?hardly ever? read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13yearolds and 9 percent of 17yearolds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively(分別地） today.” The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session（學(xué)期） has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session. When it es to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建議 ) parents looking for data about the effect of ereaders and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time. The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it es to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, pared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read. As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近 ) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore. 28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about? A. Parentchild relationships. B. Children?s reading habits. C. Quality of children?s books. D. Children?s afterclass activities. 29. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”? A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5. 30. Why do many parents limit electronic reading? A. Ereaders are expensive. B. It could be a waste of time. C. Ebooks are of poor quality. D. It may harm children?s health. 31. How should parents encourage their children to read more? A. Act as role models for them. B. Ask them to write book reports. C. Set up reading groups for them. D. Talk with their reading class teachers. D We?ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the unfortable silence. What?s the problem? It?s possible that we all have promised conversational intelligence. It?s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it?s awkward and challenging, or we think it?s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it?s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can?t fet that deep relationships wouldn?t even exist if it weren?t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(潤滑劑 ) for social munication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,”he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just municate with them.” In a 2021 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互動 ) with its waiter。 修改：在錯的詞下劃一橫線，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。ve got to catch a bus. M: That39。ll be doing some small repairs inside and outside the hotel.
