Confident, smart and high-tech, they’re followers of pop culture and know what social networking is all about. They’re tweens, children between the ages of 10 and 12. These young people are no longer little kids but they are not yet teenagers, because tweens are in a state of transition(转变).
The tween years are hard for children. From a social point of view, tweens are dealing with quite a lot. They have to face changing relationships, middle school and a whole lot of pressure(压力) to succeed and fit in. They may become angry over seemingly small things. A bad test grade, an argument with a friend, a bad day on the ball field, or a request to clean a bedroom might set them off.
Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer, a parenting expert in London and author of Talking to Tweens, says, “The tween years are when young people begin to realize the wider world and to see themselves as separate from their families.”
Right now, tweens’ friends are everything to them. It’s universal for the age, but they show it in different ways. For boys, the whole friendship thing is through technology and sports. Girls like to talk.
Tweens are also a hot market. What do tweens consider cool? Music is at the top of the cool list, followed by going to the movies. “Being smart” comes third, tied with video games, followed by electronics, sports, fashion and protecting the environment, according to a report.
Undoubtedly, tweens have great spending power in the United States. It was the tween market that made Justin Bieber and Harry Potter household names. Retailers(零售商) know tweens are a hot market for clothes, music and entertainment. Tweens have their own sense of fashion and enjoy their own parts of popular culture.
21. Which of the following words best describes the tween years? A. Entertaining.
B. Unchanging.
C. Admirable.
D. Difficult.
22. What can we know from the text? A. Tweens remain dependent on their parents. B. Friendship is very important in tweens’ eyes. C. Retailers pay little attention to the tween market.
D. Playing video games is second to none on tweens’ cool list. 23. Where can we most probably read this text? A. In a marketing report. C. On a fashion website.
B. In an education magazine. D. On a parenting poster. B
It’s nothing unusual for people to multitask nowadays. But the ability to do a number of things at the same time could be different between the two sexes.
A team of UK researchers recently compared the performances of 120 women and 120 men in a computer test about switching(转换) between tasks of counting and shape recognition.
Men equalled women when tasks were done one at a time. But when the tasks were mixed up, there was a clear difference. According to the paper published in the journal BMC Psychology, both women and men slowed down and made more mistakes as the switching became more rapid. But men were slower, taking 77 percent longer to answer, while women took 69 percent longer.
To make the experiment more connected to day-to-day life, researchers tried a second test. A group of women and men were given eight minutes to complete a series of everyday tasks, such as finding restaurants on a map, doing simple math problems, answering a phone call, or deciding how they would search for a lost key in a field.
Once again, women performed better than men in the test, especially in the key-searching task.
Where do women get the ability to keep organized under pressure better than men? Researchers believe that it has its origins in evolution(进化). In ancient times, women had to keep an eye on children while cooking meals. Meanwhile, men only needed to focus on hunting.
However, as with all studies, the results don’t necessarily apply to every single person in the world. “We don’t mean that men can’t multitask, or that only women can,” researcher Keith Laws of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, told BBC News. “We are saying that the average woman is better able to organize her time and switch between tasks than the average man.”
24. In the tests, researchers found that ______.
A. women were better at switching between tasks than men B. women made more mistakes than men when multitasking C. men were better at counting and shape recognition than women D. men completed a series of daily tasks more quickly than women 25. What is the main purpose of paragraph 6?
A. To give advice on how to improve the ability to multitask. B. To show how men and women think and respond otherwise. C. To compare the roles of men and women in human communities. D. To explain why men and women perform differently in multitasking. 26. Which of the following would Keith Laws most probably agree with? A. All women are born to be good at multitasking. B. Some men are as good at multitasking as women. C. Men shouldn’t do jobs that call for multitasking skills. D. Every woman is better able to multitask than every man.
