Geography Makes a Silent Return
In many ways geography is the forgotten science. Even the word “geography” tends to make people think of students (21) (label) maps in social studies class. But that hasn’t always been true. Before the internet, the world was a mysterious place. In many cases, people didn’t really know (22) existed a few miles from home. Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.
Geography, (23) (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t always been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.
Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24)
geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest. For more than a hundred years, the magazine’s stories and pictures (25) (tell) people about our exciting world.
Technology has changed the way people think about geography. Travel is now easy. The internet makes information simple (26) (find). We trust our phones to take us (27) we want to go. Even National Geographic has expanded beyond traditional geography, but that doesn’t mean geography has become (28) (important). While some apps are obvious examples of modern geography in action, geography remains important in more subtle (不易察觉的) ways, too. Geography, which helps house hunters, solves public health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) (use) to plan communities as well. Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics. That makes them well-suited for many different jobs and industries. Today, geographers often have titles like “urban planner” or “data analyst”. And the world is noticing (30) number of graduates with degrees in geography is also growing. Maybe it’s time for you to discover the forgotten science again.

Children moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the booming of social media, as it
is playing an increasingly important role in their lives, and is exposing them to significant emotional risks, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.
The report shows that many children in year 7 – the first year of secondary school, 21 almost everyone in the class will have a phone and be active on social media – feel under pressure to be constantly connected.

They are also upset about “sharenting” – when parents post pictures of them on social media without 23 (permit) – and show the concern 24 their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.
The report, based on group interviews with 8- to 12-year-olds , shows that 25 most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an 26 （estimate）75% of 10- to 12-year-olds will have a social media account.
Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I
got 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feeling

(confident) than those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “ you might feel devalued because you’re not very pretty.”

Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. “What a child has learnt at primary school does not guarantee he can protect 29 from the risks that social media will present.”
“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children 30 (prepare) for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies are supposed to assume more responsibilities.” Longfield said.
