2．The winter had been busy and long.I desperately needed a getaway from work，so I decided to book a trip to the Caribbean with my wife.But just three days before my trip，the human-resources manager of the company called and asked to speak with me in his office.I sensed something wrong.Just months shy of my ten-year anniversary with the company，I was laid off.
I was in complete shock - too shocked to even cry.But I wouldn't cancel my trip，as I needed it now more than ever.The night before my trip，I had a dream that the suitcase I had brought to the hotel was empty.When I woke，I interpreted this dream to mean that I was leaving all of my "baggage" behind - and I did.I enjoyed my vacation more than any others I had taken.And when I was back，I decided to do one thing I loved but never had the spare time to do：writing.
My works had never been published，but I wanted to try.I wrote a few pieces and sent them out to magazines and newspapers.After several non-responses and rejections，the most-read newspaper in Canada agreed to publish one of my travel stories.I shared the thrilling news with my family and friends.People I hadn't talked to in years contacted me to tell me they read my story.How amazing!
I started writing because I liked it.What I didn't realize was that my first published story would open several doors.Being published in a major publication made my resume impressive and led to interviews for writing posjye.aiions.It also led to more publications noticing the articles I submitted.I am satisfied that now I work full-time as a corporate writer and my works have been published in a number of magazines.
Getting laid off was an experience that could have been fatal （毀滅性的）.But there was something about that dream after it happened.That dream helped me put everything behind me and gave me the confidence to pursue new possibilities.

3．For many students today，distance learning has become the new normal.But distance learning means lots of screen time.
Research has shown that kids who spend a lot of time on screens are more likely to have various health problems and trouble with reading and language.Yet in the countries still suffering from the epidemic （流行?。?，screens are the only safe way for many young people to learn or socialize.It's difficult for kids and teens to navigate this dilemma.
In one 2019 study，Taren Sanders，a health scientist at Australian Catholic University in North Sydney，looked at how kids spent their screen time.His group then investigated whether the type of screen time made a difference in health and school achievements.The researchers sorted screen time into five types：passive （such as watching a movie） ，interactive （such as playing a video game），social，educational or something else.
Educational screen time was linked to doing better in school and had no bad health effects.More passive screen time was linked to worse outcomes in health and school achievements，Sanders' group found，compared with the other categories.But the impact was quite small.Major problems showed up mainly in kids spending more than eight hours a day on screens.
The most serious problem caused by too much screen time is that people usually sit still while they are in front of a screen. "If students are spending all day sitting on screens，when are they moving？" asks Guerrero，who studies patterns of diseases. "Extended time sitting and not moving around leads to obesity，diabetes，heart disease and other health issues.So an important question to ask yourself is not how much screen time are you getting，but how active are you？"
Sanders agrees. "Overall，I'm not too concerned about the additional screen time kids are having because of distance learning，" he says. "The things you should worry about：The amount of exercise they get and the way they spend their free time. "
（1）What does the underlined word "navigate" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Handle.
B．Assume.
C．Observe.
D．Seize.
（2）What does the 2019 study find？
A．There are mainly five types of screen time.
B．Educational screen time damages kids' health.
C．Passive screen time has a major influence on kids.
D．Too much screen time is the major cause of problems.
（3）What does Guerrero concern most？
A．The problem of lacking exercise.
B．Kids way of spending their free time.
C．The number of diseases related to screen time.
D．Distance learning causes additional screen time.
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To guide parents to educate their kids.
B．To explain the finding of a new study.
C．To discuss the influence of screen time.
D．To analyse the effect of distance learning.組卷：10引用：1難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
You can get a kitten，"I promised my seven-year-old daughter，Cali. "As soon as we got settled in our new apartment. " Her life had been uprooted when her father and I divorced.So one morning，we headed to North Bay Animal Services to pick out her new pet.
There were plenty of cats to choose from，but Cali had her heart set on two orange - and - white kittens.The attendant told us they were brothers called Caramel and Butter.They played like best friends.When they tired out，they curled around each other，their identical markings creating what looked like a heart.
Cali wanted to take them both.But the landlord had made it clear that we could only have one pet in the apartment.Finally，we decided to bring Caramel home.Cali renamed him Ozzy.That night I watched Ozzy and Cali fall asleep together，telling myself they'd forget about the other kitten soon.
How wrong I was!Ozzy did seem lonely without his twin.No matter how Cali and I tried to distract him over the next few days，he wandered around the apartment，crying，as if looking for his brother.After two weeks of being like this，I broke down.We drove back to the shelter，only to be told Butter had been adopted four days ago.
Cali was sad，and I was so desperate to calm her down that I said something foolish. "Well find Butter and adopt him too，" I said. "What are you doing？" I asked myself.I knew I'd never be able to fulfill that promise.But it was the only thing that seemed to bring my daughter some peace.
With time，Ozzy got used to being on his own.And Cali stopped asking about the other kitten.Our new life was working-out just as I'd hoped.I even started dating again.Brian，who had lost his wife four years ago，seemed promising.He had a daughter，Ruby，just a year older than Cali.I'd met him online and talked to him for months before we planned a dinner at his home.
