To many students, joining social media (社交媒体) “circles” is now more important than making new friends in real life.
And it’s easy. If you have a cell phone, you can download apps (应用程序) such as Sina Weibo, WeChat (微信) and QQ.
“I love to check my friends’ updates (更新). I also enjoy news and humor shared on social media,” Said Ou Wei, 14, from Hongling Middle School in Shenzhen. Because of enjoying these, Ou distances himself from real life. “I love playing the plane-shooting game on WeChat, but have no interest in playing flying chess with my classmates,” said Ou.
Deng Yunyun, 14, from Jianfeng Middle School in Shanghai, said that social media had influenced their life. Recently his school held a basketball match, and a student hurt his leg. Instead of giving him some help, students were busy with updating micro blogs about the accident.
“I think they need to learn to balance their real and online lives,” said Deng,
What makes parents and teachers worried is safety. “Many students are happy to tell their interests and personal information to their social media “friends”. Such information could bring them danger,” said Han Songjun, a teacher at Hongling Middle School.
For example, WeChat’s shake-shake function allows users to connect to other users close by. But the police warn about the danger of socializing in this way.
“Be careful. Do not use the locating (定位) function in any app, do not give your name, and do not post the photos of your residential area (小区),” said the police. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “distances” in Paragraph 3?
| A．接近 | B．疏远 |
| C．超过 | D．破裂 |
The example (the basketball match) in Paragraph 4 is given to show _______.
| A．Deng Yunyun’s school held a basketball match |
| B．the students in the school are not friendly |
| C．students are very busy |
| D．social media have influenced the students’ life |
The police give many suggestions except “_______”.
| A．Do not share any news on social media |
| B．Do not use the locating (定位) function on social media |
| C．Do not give your name on social media |
| D．Do not post the photos of your residential area |
What does the writer want to tell us?
| A．Many students are using WeChat. |
| B．Social media makes our life more interesting. |
| C．Social media is very popular. |
| D．Social media can be bad and dangerous. |
Different weather makes people feel different． It influences health， intelligence （智力） and feelings．
In August， it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States． People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month． In the Northeast and the Middle West， it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times． People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March．

People read books less often in these days． With the invention of radio， television and most recently， the Internet and computer games， it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity． However， I believe that books are an important part of our lives．
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course． Books can make people cleverer， because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were．
Everything in today's society requires reading． Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills． Someone could not understand themand become very sick or even die．
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading． Sometimes， you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them．
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time． Even if we don't read books， we still read every day， and reading books can strengthen （加强） our abilities． Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time．
With a book， you can travel anywhere you want， do anything you want， and talk to anyone you want． Reading is very important in our lives， no matter your age． So I think people should read books．
