French children are saying “Hello” to the new academic year and “Bye” to their cell phones during school hours. That’s because a new law has come into effect which bans phone use by students up to the age of 15. The legislation, which follows a campaign promise by French President Emmanuel Macron, also bans tablets and smart watches.
The ban is also in place at break times, with exceptions in cases of emergency and for disabled children, the French Education Ministry said in a statement. In emergencies, students can ask their teachers for permission to use their phones.
Meanwhile, high schools can voluntarily carry out the measure.
Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer said the new rules aim to help children focus on lessons, better socialize and reduce social media use. The ban is also designed to fight online bullying and prevent thefts and violence in school. Blanquer has claimed the legislation would improve discipline among Fra nce’s 12 million school students, nearly 90% of whom have mobile phones. “Being open to technologies of the future doesn’t mean we have to accept all their uses,” Blanquer said in June as the bill was going through in Parliament.
As for enforcement, it’s up to individual school administrations to decide how to put through the ban. School principals can decide to store students’ phones in lockers or allow them to keep them, switched off, in their backpacks. The law allows teachers to take away the phones until the end of the day in case of someone disobeying the bans.
Jacqueline Kay-Cessou, whose 14-year-old son, David, is entering eighth grade at the Camille See International School, told the reporter she was happy to hear of the ban. “It’s fantastic news. It’s something I’ve wanted for years,” Kay-Cessou said. “I think phones are socially harmful. Kids can’t think and sit still anymore and it’s highly addictive.”
24. What is the new rule for ordinary French students in the new term?
A. They are not allowed to use their watches.
B. They should follow President Macron.
C. They should say “Hello” to school teachers.
D. They can’t use their cell phones at school.
25. What is the opinion of Jean-Michel Blanquer?
A. Cell phones are the main reason for school violence.
B. The society should be strict with the school students.
C. New technology should be properly applied at school.
D. None of the young students should have mobile phones.
26. Who is/are responsible for carrying out the ban?
A. The school administrators.
B. The student monitors.
C. The students’ parents.
D. The Education Minister.
27. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To show the parental response to the ban.
B. To provide a conclusion for the text.
C. To offer an example for the new law.
D. To make a list of cell phone’s harms.

Victor Frankl, the author of Man s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstanc es.” Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to
d istinguish this “caus
e and effect” relationship, which is called The Law o
f Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wron
g things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were bom wit
h bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real
movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to ano ther. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brand once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.
28. What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A. Freedom is the last thing we can control.
B. Most problems in life are in our control.
C. We can choose our attitude at any time.
D. A man can lose anything but freedom.
29. Why does the author use the example of himself in Para. 2?
A. To show attitude is important to the old.
B. To show understanding attitude takes time.
C. To prove attitude impacts greatly on people.
D. To prove the author was very stubborn.
30. Knowing “The Law of Cause and Effect” helps readers .
A. understand what causes a good attitude
B. analyze the effect of a negative attitude
C. understand “cause and effect” relationship b etter
D. know the benefit of choosing active attitude
31. What is the writer’s message conveyed in this passage?
A. Winning is a matter of control.
B. Success begins with positive attitude.
C. Bad attitude results in bad results.
D. Attitude and results are inseparable.

People may have some unclear memories of their childhood, but almost everyone will remember the beautiful pr incess and the cruel queen in “Snow White”，the innocent little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in “Little Red Riding Hood”.
36 For example, “True love can overcome anything”，and “Even a frog can turn into
a prince”. However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, particularly that love doesn’t always win, and that a frog is just a frog.
37 Just look at animated films like “The Lion King” and “Frozen”，which have millions of fans young and old. And this year’s Lucerne Festival in Swi tzerland - a classical music festival - will also feature the themes of “Childhood” and “Fairy tales”.
“Fairy tales endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped down form,” wrote US author Laura Packer. “They are stories of l ove and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.” 38_ But if children only see just one
side of reality, adults usually see the other. For example, in the movie “Maleficent”，we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil queen. _39 Instead, she suffers great losses growing up, leading to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamer’s book “Politically Correct Bedtime Stories”，he tells the classic story of “Little Red Riding Hood”, but with a modem touch.
40 They may usually start with “Once upon a time but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn’t always need a “happily ever after” to be a good one.
A. Fairy tales are all about reality.
B. But somehow, our love for fairy tales never dies.
C. Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales.
D. The theme of fairy tales is to teach people courage and kindness.
E. Fairy tales have been adapted into versions suitable for children.
F. It looks like fairy tales aren’t just stories our parents read us at bedtime.
G. Unlike the children’s version of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t bom evil.
