26、eachers say that the digital（数字）age has had a good influence and a not-so-good influence on American teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in some groups. Most teachers think the Internet and digital search tools have h
27、ad a mostly positive influence on their students research habits and skills. But at the same time, some teachers also point out some problems in teenagers using digital search tools.The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the
28、director of the National Writing Project and a co-writer of the report. She says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. “Both teachers and students really welcome these tools because they make learning exciting. And the goal is to really help students become creato
29、rs of something meaningful, and not just users of the online information.“But one problem the survey found is that these technologies make teenagers have short attention spans（持续时间）. As there is huge amount of information about different subjects on the Internet, teenagers attention is easily drawn
30、away from their research. Another problem the survey found is that many students trust the information they find on the Internet too much. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills to judge the online information. They need to learn a lot to tell if the information is believabl
31、e. Its something that really has to be paid attention to. One more problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Many students think “doing research“ now means just doing a quick search on Google. Teachers say the resu
32、lt is a drop in the wish and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. That is, they are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians. Many teachers also say that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by other
33、s instead of using their own abilities.53. The result of the survey shows _. A. digital search tools need to be greatly improved B. digital search tools are generally good for teenagers C. teenagers have difficulty in using digital search tools D. American teachers enjoy using digital search tools 5
34、4. Using digital search tools makes teenagers _. A. less trusting of online information B. more independent in doing research C. more willing to work hard to find answers D. less able to pay full attention while searching 55. To do better in research, teenagers should _. A. spend more time searching
35、 online B. ask their teachers for more advice C. make better use of printed materials D. learn more knowledge of search tools DAre you a good receiver? It might sound like a funny question but it is an important one that each of us should ask ourselves.Strangely, most of us are better givers than re
36、ceivers. We give to our family, our friends and even charities, and opposite to what we might think, most of us are actually very good at giving. But receiving is another matter. We often feel a little uneasy when receiving, although it is not very noticeable. Even praise gets deflected（转向）when it c
37、omes our way. When someone praises us for helping him move or clean up the house, we will possibly say, “Ah, it was nothing.“ When someone praises the coat we are wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a discount instead of simply enjoying the praise. Actually, the praise is a gift to us, and w
38、hen we dont receive it properly, we are dishonoring the giver. Giving is easy, as there is much pleasure in giving, but receiving is an art that takes practice. To be a good receiver requires a sense of close relationship with the giver. It is always a pleasure for a giver to see the gift received i
39、n a pleasant way. And this is also the best way for a receiver to honor the giver and give him something back.Many relationships are not so good not because people are not giving to each other, but because they are not receiving from each other well. We should receive the love, respect the praise, a
40、nd give thanks every time giving happens. We should practice receiving all the pleasures that happen to us every day, instead of taking them for granted. Think of how many simple everyday gifts we are being given all the time: the beauty of nature, art and inspiring（激励人的）conversations. But are we tr
41、uly receiving them when they happen to us, or are we busy with other matters, not noticing? We should master the art of receiving: accept the gifts life offers us and show our appreciation for them. We are taught that it is better to give than to receive. But this suggests that there is something wr
42、ong with receiving. There is nothing wrong with receiving. It is better to give and receive. Let life shower us with gifts, pleasures, joys, surprises, both large and small, and let us take notice of all these things and accept them happily and thankfully. The more we can receive, the more we can gi
43、ve back, but giving more does not necessarily mean receiving more. We must remember it is harder to receive than to give, and try to practice receiving. This practice will benefit us greatly, making us become good receivers as well as good givers.56. According to Paragraph 2, what do we possibly do
44、when we are praised? A. Honor the giver publicly. B. Show our pleasure clearly. C. Receive the praise uncomfortably. D. Express our disagreement properly. 57. The expression “taking them for granted“ probably means “_“. A. looking for them with expectation B. depending on them with satisfaction C. g
45、etting away from them without regret D. benefiting from them without appreciation 58. What can we learn from the passage? A. People usually can receive more by giving more B. People usually try to receive as much as possible. C. People should give a gift back when receiving one.D. People can improve
46、 relationships by receiving well. 59. What is the best title for the passage? A. Be a Good Receiver and Giver B. Better to Give Than to Receive C. Better to Give, Better to Receive D. Be a Receiver Rather Than a Giver 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。 （共 12 分，每小题 3 分） It doesnt matte
