Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.
Two U. S.—based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic, Society commissioned an online survey earlier this year. They wanted to know what young people educated in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2-or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find was to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.

A. All the participants were recent university graduates
B. It was an online survey conducted by two US universities
C. Its aim is to figure out what the young people know about America
D. It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26
2.What’s one reason survey organizers give for young people’s lack of knowledge?
A. Young people are unwilling to travel abroad
B. The sources from which they get their information
C. The US university system is of poor quality
D. Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world
3.According to the survey, what topic did the young Americans understand best?
A. Environmental matters B. Geographic information
C. Foreign relations D. Government organizations
4.In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?

Many Shopping malls now have special areas that offer shoppers their first chance to experience “VR technology”. You may have entered one out of curiosity, or you may think it is just another piece of useless technology. Whatever your opinion, VR, or virtual(虛擬的)reality, is going to become a big part of our lives very soon.
2016 saw the introduction of many fancy products in the world of VR, including Microsoft's HoloLens and Samsung's Gear VR. All of them offer an exciting look at the new realities” and opportunities that VR brings.
These, however, are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength. And 2017 looks like it is going to be the year in which VR technology really takes off.
For a start, using VR will become more normal in 2017. Microsoft and Intel have already discussed their plans for simpler and less expensive VR headsets.
The idea of VR will stop being a sci-fi (science-fiction) idea, and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination.” said Andrew, a designer at US VR Company, Survios.
It is also expected that VR products will play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film. For example, to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh. Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home.
You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later. '' This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences.'' said Roy DeYoung from US-based marketing agency, PMX.
As time goes on, there will be less discussion about whether people will accept VR technology. It will simply be a discussion of when.
1.Why do many shopping malls have areas for VR experiences?
A. To collect shoppers' opinions.
B. To meet the demands of shoppers.
C. To introduce the new technology to shoppers.
D. To entertain shoppers with new technology.
2.The underlined phrase “in the flesh” can be replaced by_____________.
A. in time B. in person
C. in line D. in order
3.What can we learn about VR products from the passage?
A. They are cheap for the time being
B. They are being used almost everywhere.
C. They won't be accepted for many years.
D. They will meet more personal demands.
4.What may be the best title for the passage?
A. VR Takes over Fashion

Parents Model Healthy Eating
It should come as no surprise that the more stressed parents are not work, the greater the burden on their family is. 1.After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals.
For years, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored. They didn’t look at the family as a whole, 2., adds a new wrinkle to the relationship between work stress and family nutrition.
Moms’ work related stress is still a central factor in how well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking.3.The study found that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.
It’s worth noting that the study looked mainly at low income families who belonged to ethnic or minority groups. 4. But the implications are wide ranging.
5.Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improves their eating habits.
A. When it comes to family nutrition, the entire family plays a role even kids.
B. so the findings don’t necessarily apply directly to other types of families
C. But dad’s work related stress has a large impact, too.
D. Yet, the kids’ stress may influence the families’ nutrition, too
E. and at the role of fathers in particular
F. It’s also probably not a surprise that his can negatively affect a family’s nutrition
G. It is parents who give their kids a good model to develop a good eating habit.

The brain is a remarkable part.It's responsible for thoughts and feelings.Now a new study finds that going through tough times as a kid also can have an impact.The adult brains of people who lived through lots of stress before the age of six—and then became depressed or anxious as teenagers—were different compared with adults who had an easier childhood.It seems that teens changed the shape of their brains by internalizing (使內(nèi)在化) the stresses experienced years earlier.
Researchers already knew that the shape and size of a child's brain can change in response to lots of stress.They also knew that adults were more likely to be depressed if,as kids,they'd lived in poverty.Some studies showed that these depressed adults had unusual changes in their brain shape.But no one had tested if the early stress and later brain changes were linked.
Scientists in England studied almost 500 boys from birth until the ages of 18 to 21.Sarah Jensen is one of the new study's authors.Almost all of the boys her team studied experienced some hard times as kids.And,she concludes,“This is not necessarily harmful.”To some extent,that's just life.What can be dangerous,she says,is when children experience too many forms of difficulties.Her team's new data suggest that the tougher the childhood,the stronger the impact on the brain might be.
What's happening in the world around us relates to how we feel.Her team linked more childhood stress to more depression.Still,she notes,it's possible that if you find support for anxiety or depression,you might be able to prevent the changes seen here.“If you can change the environment,you can change the course of things,”Sarah says.So,she recommends,if teens develop anxiety or depression,it's good to ask for psychological doctors to give advice.
1.When people had a hard childhood, .
A. they will have a brave attitude to life
B. their way of thinking may be strange
C. they will be good at dealing with stress
D. the shape of their brain may be changed
2.What is the breakthrough of the new research?
A. The size of the brain can change.
B. The brain can be influenced by stress.
C. Poverty can affect the brain's shape in future.
D. Changes in brain are connected with earlier hardship.
3.It's a problem when children .
A. had a lonely childhood
B. led a peaceful childhood
C. got different kinds of hardship
D. experienced limited hard times
4.For teenagers with anxiety,Sarah suggests .
A. they adapt to their life
