28、s become creators of something meaningful, and not just users of the onlineinformation.”but one problem the survey found is that these technologies make teenagers have shortattention spans（持續(xù)時間） . as there is huge amount of information about different subjects on theinternet, teenagers attention is

29、easily drawn away from their research.another problem the survey found is that many students trust the information they find on theinternet too much. judy buchanan says these students have not developed the skills to judge theonline information. they need to learn a lot to tell if the information is

34、hers for more advicec. make better use of printed materialsd. learn more knowledge of search toolsdare you a good receiver? it might sound like a funny question but it is an important one thateach of us should ask ourselves.strangely, most of us are better givers than receivers. we give to our famil

35、y, our friends andeven charities, and opposite to what we might think, most of us are actually very good at giving.but receiving is another matter. we often feel a little uneasy when receiving, although it is notvery noticeable. even praise gets deflected（轉(zhuǎn)向） when it comes our way. when someone prai

36、sesus for helping him move or clean up the house, we will possibly say,“ ah, it was nothing.someone praises the coat we are wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a discount instead of simply enjoying the praise. actually, the praise is a gift to us, and when we don receivet it properly, we are

37、 dishonoring the giver.giving is easy, as there is much pleasure in giving, but receiving is an art that takes practice. to be a good receiver requires a sense of close relationship with the giver. it is always a pleasure for a giver to see the gift received in a pleasant way. and this is also the b

38、est way for a receiver tohonor the giver and give him something back.many relationships are not so good not because people are not giving to each other, but because they are not receiving from each other well. we should receive the love, respect the praise, and give thanks every time giving happens.

40、 or are we busy with other matters, not noticing? we should master the art of receiving: accept the gifts life offers us and show our appreciation for them.we are taught that it is better to give than to receive. but this suggests that there is something wrong with receiving. there is nothing wrong

41、with receiving. it is better to give and receive. let life shower us with gifts, pleasures, joys, surprises, both large and small, and let us take notice of all these things and accept them happily and thankfully. the more we can receive, the more we can give back, but giving more does not necessari

42、ly mean receiving more. we must remember it is harder to receive than to give, and try to practice receiving. this practice will benefit us greatly, making us become good receivers as well as good givers.56. according to paragraph 2, what do we possibly do when we are praised?a. honor the giver publ

43、icly.b. show our pleasure clearly.c. receive the praise uncomfortably.d. express our disagreement properly.57. the expressiontaking“them for granted” probably means“ _ ” .;.a. looking for them with expectationb. depending on them with satisfactionc. getting away from them without regretd. benefiting
