Spring Festival living tips for foreigners

As Chinese New Year is coming, foreign readers share their tips on how to spend the festival in China. You're welcome to add your suggestions.

1.Don't travel during the holidays.

"Don’t travel during the holidays" is one golden rule that I have

followed for years, especially during Spring Festival as the traffic is

heavy. You can see a large army of Chinese passengers gather at

every train station.

2.Enjoy the dinner on New Year's Eve.

I always spend Spring Festival with a Chinese family, eating

dumplings, laughing and joking. I love the Chinese and there are no other people I would rather spend my time with.

3.Don't forget the hongbao.

Usually, I send money to friends by New Year red packets on my mobile phone. "Digital Hongbao" is more popular than traditional ones. People use QQ and WeChat to give hongbao instead of the traditional red packets.

4.Set off fireworks.

I really love to watch fireworks, for some reason they make us feel so excited! I’m really glad I’m here in China for the Chinese New Year, I've never seen so many fireworks in my life! I do wish people would be more careful, especially with their children. I always remind kids who are playing to keep away from some fireworks that I’m going off.

5.Watch the Spring Festival Gala.

While I don't understand Chinese, the show itself is very good. I was quite impressed (印象深刻的). The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is one of the most amazing TV shows from an artistic point of view.

CHICAGO- Have you ever worked on your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap, heating up your legs? If so, you might want to rethink that habit from now on. Doing it a lot can lead to “toasted skin syndrome (癥狀)”, an unusual-looking spotted skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure (暴露), according to medical reports.

In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy from California developed a skin discoloration on his left lap after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months. “He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, he did not change its position,” Swiss researches reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Another similar case is a Virginia law student who needed treatment for the spotted darkening on her leg. Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer placed on her lap. As Dr. Salkey later learnt, the temperature under the laptop could reach 51 degrees. That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.

The condition can also be caused by overuse of heating pads (墊子) and other heat sources that usually aren’t hot enough to cause burns. It’s generally harmless but can also cause such permanent (永久的) skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel. They do not mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it on your lap.

Dr. Kimberley Salkey said that under the microscope, the affected skin is similar to skin damaged by long-term sun exposure.

Major producers including Apple and Dell warn against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for long periods of time because of the risks for burns. In the past, “toasted skin syndrome” has happened to workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source, including bakers and glass blowers, and in people who gathered near hot stoves to stay warm.

Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, chief at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said that it’s unlikely that computer use would lead to cancer since it’s so easy to avoid close skin contact (接觸) with laptops.

1.According to the passage, “toasted skin syndrome” can be caused by all the following EXCEPT ______.

A. being close to a heat source or hot stoves B. long period of direct contact to hot laptop

C. using one’s laptop with a carrying case D. overuse of heating pad and other heat sources

2.The underlined word “discoloration” in the 2nd paragraph refers to ______.

A. spot B. darkening C. sunburn D. heat

3.It can be learnt from the passage that laptop users ______.

A. should avoid close skin contact with laptops

B. are likely to develop a certain kind of cancer

C. have known much about the harm of laptop heating

D. should go to see the doctor at once

4.Some computer producers warn against placing laptops on laps for long periods of time because of ______.

A. the risk for burns B. the risk of dropping

C. the risk of breaking D. the protection of back bone

5.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? ______.

A. Laptop is Dangerous B. Skin Damage is Possible

C. A Bad Habit D. No laps for Warm Laptops

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：江蘇省句容市、丹陽(yáng)市2017屆九年級(jí)下學(xué)期中考網(wǎng)上閱卷第二次適應(yīng)性檢測(cè)（二模）英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

A public primary school in the USA has stopped giving its students’ homework.

Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month, explaining that after more than a year

of analyzing (分析) studies, the school had decided that students’ after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace (步伐) and playing instead of working on homework.

Hsu’s letter says that many studies show that there is no connection between homework and academic (學(xué)業(yè)的) success. Some other studies also show that the connection between homework and success is dubious at the primary school level.

Harris Cooper, a social psychologist who researches education, found that doing homework makes students perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years’ worth of data on the influence of homework. He found that homework had a good influence on students as they aged.

Some parents are not happy with the decision to give up homework. “I think they should have homework. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal,” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second-grader at the school, said to the reporter.

“Students have to do homework in order to gain. Students have to do homework because they may not be able to understand everything in school,” Sharon Blake, a student’s grandmother told ABC news.

1.Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents to explain .

A. how students should read at their own pace

B. why the school gave up homework recently

C. what activities students could take at home

D. how important the homework is for students

2.The word “dubious” in Paragraph 3 probably means “not ”.

A. real B. public C. clear D. special

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Cooper found homework had a bad effect on students as they aged.

B. Some parents are worried about their children if there is no homework.

C. Some students are not happy with the decision to give up school homework.

D. Daniel Tasman wanted his daughter to have fun instead of working to a goal.
