21、Way back in 1965. Seiichi Miyake spent his own money to try and come up with an invention that would help a friend who was suffering vision loss move through the city easily. He came up with the idea of tactile blocks (导盲砖). you will have seen these at crosswalks all over the world, small raised blocks that warn people with low vision or blindness of coming danger and also safety.
Miyake designed the blocks in two ways. The dotted blocks warn the visually disabled that they are approaching danger. This type is most commonly found on the edge of pavement and railway platforms. A block with a barred pattern warns the pedestrians (行人) that they are following a safe path. Pedestrians can recognize these blocks and their patterns with either their vision walking stick, their feet or with the help of a vision assistance animal.
His block designs were first adopted by the city of Okayama on March 18,1967 , next to a school for the blind. In the 1970 s, the blocks were installed across all Japanese railway stations.
Since their invention, the tactile blocks have had a few changes including a pattern with smaller raised dots or more pill-shaped raised blocks indicating different directional cues around the world. For example, when the dots are raised in lines in the direction of movement, it might mean steps ahead. For those without vision loss, the blocks may simply blend (融合) into the urban environment but they play a critical role in giving more independence to those with a disability in vision.
However, the tactile blocks have their critics too. Some argue that they might do more harm than good to those with mobility difficulties such as the elderly who may trip on the uneven surface. Moving forward into a world that is more accessible to people with disability, cities are turning to designers who have vision disability themselves.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Seiicbi Mipake, who was suffering vision loss, came up with the invention.
B．The visually disabled benefit a lot from the invention in their daily life.
C．A block with a barred pattern warns the pedestrians of the danger ahead.
D．The tactile blocks were originally intended to blend into the urban environment
【2】Why have some changes in tactile blocks taken place according to paragraph 4 ?
A．To guide the visually disabled more accurately.
B．To prevent pedestrians from tripping over the blocks.
C．To make the tactile blocks better integrate in the surroundings.
D．To help people with visual disability to walk in a line.
【3】Why are cities turning to designers who have vision disability?
A．They are better designers.
B．They are more sympathetic.
C．They know better about their world.
D．They demand less from the government.

23、The Breakfast Club
Starred by John Hughes, 1985
Five high school students with nothing in common are forced to spend an entire Saturday together in detention (拘留). At seven am. they had nothing to say, but by four pm, they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends—the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook. They were finally able to talk about themselves while they were forced to stay together.
Pretty in Pink.
Starred by Howard Deutch, 1986
Pretty in Pink looks at the central dilemma of adolescence where one's dreams are much larger than one's confidence. Molly Ringwald plays Andie Walsh, a poor girl living with her father and working in a downtown record store. The school she attends is full of wealthy snobs (势利小人) and she likes a rich kid Blane. There is nothing new about the plot—rich boy and poor girl love each other and snobbery nearly destroys the romance.
Clueless
Starred by Amy Heckerling and Alicia Silverstone, 1995
Cher, played by Alicia Silverstone, is one of the most popular girls at Beverly Hills High School where rich kids hang out, talk to each other on cell phones and occasionally attend classes. At 15 going on 16, Cher has it all-a white Jeep, an extensive wardrobe with a computer to help select the perfect dress, and an unbelievable ability to charm, cajole and whine (哄骗和哭诉) until others obey her requests. The dialogue is wiry and entertaining.

24、Children spend more time messaging each other on phones and websites than talking in Person, a survey has revealed. Text messages and social networking sites have become the common mode of youngsters aged 8 to 14.
A survey of modern childhood found that many youngsters are conscious that they are spending too much time on their computers and enjoy themselves the most when playing outside. But the lure of electronic products proves too strong for a quarter, while a fifth say their parents don’t like them playing outside because they are worried about strangers and injuries.
The “iGeneration report” suggested that youngsters are increasingly health-conscious and skeptical (特怀疑态度的) of commercialization, including gender-based labelling on toys and pop videos released by singers. More than half of those questioned care about eating healthily and one in 10 lectures their own parents about the food they are eating or buying, 42 percent of those questioned own a smart phone, with 36 percent admitting spending more time communicating with friends via instant messaging, such as texts or networking websites, than talking in person. Only one child in 100 said that being happy, having a loving family and being clever were taken as the most crucial (决定性的) elements in their lives.
Cary Cooper, the professor of organizational psychology and health at Lancaster University, said social media were contributing to youngsters becoming more independent. They had a sense of individuality due to exposure to a range of media.
The survey follows major state backed research which found that youngsters are turning their back on drink, drugs and smoking. It found a dramatic drop in the number of secondary school students trying and regularly using drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Some analysts said that thanks to the rise of social media, millions of teenagers are spending their time at home in their rooms rather than out on the streets.
