Pastime is a bi-monthly magazine for curious young minds. Many of the topics we write about won’t be covered in the classroom. All the articles are written in a lively style, and each one is paired with drawings by some of the country’s most talented artists.
☆ History focuses on archaeological(考古的) sites around the world where archaeologists work to unearth important finds.
☆ World includes stories about daily life, folk tales, and culture and traditions of the people and places.
☆ Sport includes nutrition tips, information about up-and-coming young athletes, and sports events.
☆ Art stimulates a child’s cultural life, from film to theatre through to writing and music.
On top of all that, Pastime is packed with items to stimulate a youngster’s imagination, including pages of puzzles and a step-by-step guide to creating their own impressive-looking drawings.
In every issue, we review the latest books top authors write for this age group. There are short works of fiction written especially for Pastime by some of our best writers.
We know that children at this age are dealing with many emotions and sometimes difficult feelings, we have a personal advice page to reply to questions dealing with personal and moral questions.
Unlike many of today’s throwaway comics, Pastime is written and designed to be kept and treasured. We know children love going online—but we also know how much they enjoy holding a printed magazine in their hands, and the excitement they get when each new issue drops through the letterbox personally addressed to them.

Some teens are disapproving of compulsory BMI (body mass index) （身体质量指数） checks in PE classes. Do BMI checks at school do more harm than good? Two teens take sides.
Maya Meade, a high school freshman in Ohio, says yes. “I understand that schools want to weigh students because they are concerned about their physical health. That’s not a bad thing! But what about their mental health? For many students, appearance and self-image are huge sources of stress. Forcing teens to be weighed at school will only increase the pressure they feel to fit a certain mold (模子)”, says Maya.
In Maya’s opinion, weight is a personal matter that should stay between a doctor and a patient. She says, “Just imagine someone who struggles with body image being told that his or her BMI is too high as classmates look on! Even if other kids can’t hear, no student wants to feel judged by his or her teacher. That’s not why we go to school.”
Maya thinks if a school wants to have an impact on a student’s physical health, there are better ways to do it, such as providing healthy but filling meals, encouraging physical activity and teaching students about nutrition.
Ben Bagbek, a second-year student in a high school in New York, holds a different opinion. “There is no reason why a school should not be allowed to weigh its students and teach them how to calculate BMI! Obesity (肥胖症) is a huge public health concern in our country. And schools are in a position to help students understand what their weight means to their health — before they’re at risk of life-threatening conditions.”
“A school’s job is to help students reach their full potential, and your health undoubtedly plays a role in your academic performance. BMI is not a perfect measurement, but it can help you identify the need for healthier eating habits or more physical activity.” says Ben.
The bottom line is: When you feel good, you learn better. As long as the actual number on the scale stays private, it should be viewed as an important part of your health education.
54. What are the two teens debating?
A. Whether students are enjoying PE classes.
B. Whether schools are body-shaming students.
C. Whether students should pay attention to weight.
D. Whether schools should help students lose weight.
55. According to Maya, what will BMI checks bring to students?
A. Healthy diets. B. Emotional stress.
C. Fierce competition. D. Positive self-awareness.
56. What does Maya think of weight?
A. It’s private. B. It’s important.
C. It’s hard to lose. D. It’s not a big deal.
57. Which of the following may Ben agree with?
A. Most school students are overweight.
B. BMI checks are of little help to students.
C. Schools have the right to weigh students.
D. It’s not schools’ duty to help students keep fit.
C
According to a new study, teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid punishment or consider the consequences of alternative actions.
University College London researchers compared how teens and adults learn to make choices based on the available information. They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20 volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract symbols.
Each symbol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a reward, punishment or no outcome. As the trial progressed, participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly. Teens and adults were equally good at learning to choose symbols associated with reward, but teens were less good at avoiding symbols associated with punishment. Adults also performed significantly better when they were told what would have happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice, while teens did not appear to take this information into account.
“From this experimental lab study, we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen years. We find that teens and adults learn in different ways, something that might be relevant to education,” said lead author Dr. Stefano Palminteri. “Unlike adults, teens are not so good at learning to adjust their choices to avoid punishment. This suggests that incentive（激励）systems based on reward rather than punishment may be more effective for this age group. Additionally, we found that teens did not learn from being shown what would have happened if they made alternative choices.”
To interpret the results, the researchers developed computational models of learning and ran simulations (模拟) applying them to the results of the study. The first was a simple model, one that learned from rewards, and the second model added to this by also learning from the option that was not chosen. The third model was the most complete and took the full context into account, with equal weight given to punishment avoidance and reward seeking. For example, obtaining no outcome rather than losing a point is weighted equally to gaining a point rather than having no outcome.
Comparing the experimental data to the models, the team found that teens’ behavior followed the simple reward-based model while adults’ behavior matched the complete, contextual model. “Our study suggests that teens are more receptive to rewards than they are to punishments of equal value,” said senior author Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore. “As a result, it may be useful for parents and teachers to frame things in more positive terms.”
58. It can be learned from the study that ______.
A. adults made choices faster than teens
B. adults understood rewards better than teens
C. teens reacted better to reward than punishment
D. teens were aware of the outcome of each choice
59. What do we know about the three computational models?
A. It reflected people’s strong desire for punishment avoidance.
B. They gave the circumstances different degrees of consideration.
C. They paid equal attention to reward and punishment.
D. They shaped the behavior of people at different ages.
60. The underlined word “receptive” in the last paragraph probably means ______
A. accustomed B. opposed
C. sympathetic D. responsive
61. According to the writer, which of the following statements works best for teens?
A. “If you insist on doing things in this way, you will lose 10 points.”
B. “If we had talked about this earlier, you wouldn’t have made a mistake.”
C. “If you hand in your assignments ahead of time, you will get an extra bonus.”
D. “If you want to approach a problem differently, you can talk to your parents.”

Why You Should Schedule Some “Me Time” Every Day
Most people in our culture feel the need to be going all the time. If we are not working and putting our energy into something, we believe we are wasting time. We feel taking time for ourselves is a waste. And to some extent, it’s true—pushing yourself nonstop may bring some measure of success. __62______ Stress and the inability to enjoy a little time-out have very real health and psychological effects, such as headaches, heart attacks, depression and poor concentration.
So, the biggest reason to take a little time out for yourself is to avoid these negative consequences of not doing so. __63______ Specifically, taking some “me” time can help you avoid bad mood and enable you to control your emotions. If you live with someone, like a spouse, children, or even a pet, they may not understand your need to take “me” time but they certainly will appreciate the way your mood has improved. Contrary to this, the lack of time to yourself can cause you to build up anger that can harm both you and your relationships.
64______ So you must give yourself permission to take at least a half hour per day, even if it’s divided, just for yourself. If you have to, set the alarm, schedule it on the calendar, or put it on your “to-do” list for the day. Whatever you have to do, make it happen every day. It can be as simple as sitting on the deck, reading a book, and watching the sun come up with a hot cup of coffee. In addition to that, setting boundaries is important. __65______ Also acknowledge that you need to limit the demands that other people can make on your time.
Taking a little time for yourself refreshes and re-energizes you. It allows you to think more clearly and make better decisions. __66______ You come to realize that you are important and deserve to have a little time to yourself. If you engage in something you enjoy during your time-out, you also have the satisfaction of reading that book, or writing that poem. But be careful that you use your “me” time for leisurely activities and don’t push yourself to complete anything. Simply enjoy the time out.
A. Taking “me” time benefits those around you as well.
B. Actually it is not that difficult to find a little “me” time.
C. Taking “me” time also builds your self-worth over time.
D. It might seem easy to schedule a little “me” time, but often it isn’t.
E. Realize that there are limits to what you can do, and build your life around that.
F. But more than that, “me” time can make you a better person both inside and out.
G. However, going for long periods without time for yourself may cost you in the end.

Ansel Adams was a famous photographer known for capturing the magnificent beauty of western landscapes in his photographs. Born in San Francisco, California, on February 20, 1902, Adams attended school until the eighth grade. He was then taught at home by his father and several tutors. Adams took an early interest in music, teaching himself to play the piano and later studying with a professor. He was incredibly talented, and, for a long time, he considered a career as a professional musician.
In 1916, Adams vacationed with his family in Yosemite National Park in California. Armed with a camera, a gift from his parents, Adams took pictures of the beautiful scenery in the park. The trip to Yosemite and the pictures he took introduced Adams to the beauty of nature and the outdoors. He continued to visit Yosemite once a year. He documented the wonderful wilderness that surrounded him. In 1919, Adams joined the Sierra Club, an organization dedicated to enjoying and preserving forests in the Pacific region, specifically in the Sierra Nevada. Adams later went on to serve as president of the organization.
Adams continued his music studies, taking pictures only as a hobby. After publishing two books of his photographs, however, Adams decided to focus on a career in photography. In 1920, Adams met photographer Paul Strand. Adams admired Strand’s pictures for their clear, sharp images, which contrasted to the softer type popular at that time.
In 1937, Adams moved to the Yosemite Valley. Using Strand’s “straight-photography”, Adams began publishing books of his beautiful pictures including Illustrated Guide to Yosemite Valley and Yosemite and the High Sierra. The more time Adams spent surrounded by the beauty of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada, the more concerned he became with the environment. He felt strongly about preserving the wilderness. In his years with the Sierra Club, he spoke often about conservation and preservation.
Adams died on April 22, 1984, but his incredible photographs are still admired today. Shortly after his death, Congress designated (指定) more than 229,000 acres of land as the Ansel Adams Wilderness Area and the mountain in his beloved Yosemite Valley was named after him a year later.
67. Why did Adams consider musician as his career early in his life? （2分）
68. What was Adams concerned greatly about in his years with the Sierra Club? （2分）
69. What can you learn from the story and what makes you think so? （4分）
