Electronic media use is also associated with social connection. However, comparatively less is known about links with academic performance. To help clarify these links,Mundy and colleagues studied 1,239 8-to 9-year -olds in Melbourne, Australia. They used a national achievement test data to measure the children's academic performance at baseline and again after two years. They also asked the children's parents to report on their kids' use of electronic media. The researchers found that watching two or more hours of television per day at the age of8 or9 was associated with lower reading performance compared to peers two years later;the difference was equal to losing four months of learning. Using a computer for more than one hour per day was linked to a similar degree of lost numeracy（计算能力）.The analysis showed no links between use of videogames and academic performance. By accounting for baseline academic performance and potentially influencing factors such as mental health （北京）股份有限公司 difficulties and body mass index(BMI) and controlling for prior media use,the researchers were able to identify television and computer use was associated with poorer academic performance. These findings could help parents and teachers better plans and clinical recommendations for electronic media use in late childhood. Future research could build on these results by examining continued associations in secondary school.The authors add:“The debate about the effects of modern media on children's learning has never been more important given the effects of today's Covid-19 on children. This is the first large study of electronic media use and learning in primary school children,and results showed heavier users of television and computers had significant declines in reading two years later compared with light users.” 21.What is Mundy's study mainly about? A.Electronic media B.Acquisition approaches C.Kids'health D.Academic performance 22.Which of the following statements may the author agree with? A.Previous studies are inaccurate and unreliable. B.Kids' capacity to read declines when they apply e-books. C.Kids playing videogames can perform as well as before academically. D.Watching TV will have a negative impact on kids merely within two years. 23.What makes the effects of modern media on children's learning a hot issue? A.Challenges from public health B.Clinical recommendation on leisure C.Parents'concern about future D.Tight schedules at schools 24.How did the researchers make the new discovery? A.By inferring from previous studies B.By referring to the national achievement test data C.By analyzing children's mental health difficulties D.By comparing academic performances before and after B George Whitmore,a member of the first team of climbers to scale El Capitan in Yosemite National Park and a conservationist who devoted his life to protecting the Sierra Nevada,has died. His team spent 45 days fixing pitches on a course more than 3,000 feet high.They used siege tactics（攻 城术） to link camps， coming down for school and work．But then they launched a 12-day final push, which they completed on November 12, 1958. “It's really like walking on the moon,”author and climber John Long said.“There're certain things that are influential.Not just for climbers or surfers or astronauts, but for all mankind. And that was one of them. It revolutionized what everybody thought was possible.” “He never mentioned what he'd done unless somebody asked,”Whitmore's wife Nancy said. “He didn't go around and say, 'Oh, I was the first person to climb The Nose of El Capitan.'”But if you really asked George,his greatest accomplishment wasn't the climb up El Capitan,Nancy said.It would be the decades he spent advocating for conservation. （北京）股份有限公司 Whitmore helped establish the Kaiser Wilderness-a protected area located 70 miles northeast of Fresno-in 1976.He helped bring the California Wilderness Act of 1984 into effect,adding 1.8 million acres into the National Wilderness Preservation System.Whitmore was a part of efforts by the Sierra Club to prevent The Walt Disney Company from developing a ski resort at Mineral King in the 1960s. The project was stopped, and the site became part of Sequoia National Park.He often weighed in on development in the area.Lawmakers about conservation learned to trust him because they knew that he would not just say something off the top of his head.And if he didn't know,he would say, 'I don't know and I'll find out,'”Nancy said. “He was a climber but that was secondary,” she added. “His love of the wilderness is the most important gift that he has left us.” 25. What did John Long think of Whitmore's scaling El Capitan? A.It seemed unlikely at that time. B.It was dangerous to climb that high. C.It interested surfers and astronauts.
