Social media(媒体)is a big part of most people's lives. There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo, as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. How do you behave when you use these apps?

    Recently researchers at the University of Sussex,UK, studied social media users ranging from 10

to 15 years old. They found that they can be divided into four personality types.

    Geeks(极客)

    Geeks are active social media users,but they find it much more difficult to deal with the life in the real world. Most of them are boys who like playing computer games and making music and videos. They often post creative works online, using fake(假的) names. In fact, they should avoid spending too much time on the Internet.

    Internet celebrities

    Internet celebrities like sharing as well , but they are much more visible (看得见的) than geeks. They might become well﹣known for their singing or dancing. But many of them, especially teenagers ,share almost every side of their lives in order to own more fans. Being a teenage Internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world.

    Lurkers(潜伏者)

    The first two groups are lucky to find a place to show their talent. But most teenagers fall into the third type﹣﹣﹣﹣ "lurkers",or people who are neither too active nor visible.This group prefers WeChat over Sina Weibo, as WeChat has private groups. They can't express themselves well but at least they make sure to protect their personal information.

    Victims(受害者)

    Victims don't have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online Their personal information can be made public and cause problems for them. To avoid being a victim, you should check your personal settings on social media."Friends only" is a good choice for your posts. Don't share your personal information.

(1)What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?  

A. Researchers at the University of Sussex, UK.

B. Social media users ranging from 10 to 15 years old.

If you go shopping in any toy store,you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls:there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls;and dark﹣ colored cars,guns,and soldiers for boys.Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys.In fact,it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.

    Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls.Sue Palmer,writer of Toxic Childhood, is very

worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color.According to some scientists,this happens for two reasons.Firstly,most companies offer too many products in pink.Also,many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink.Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves,but the pink can affect (影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.

    Some parents are worried too﹣﹣ for example,Vanessa Holburn,thirty﹣two,who has two girls under the age of four.Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy."Pink says that you are soft and gentle.Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful.I′m worried that pink will not help them with that, "she says.

    But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink.Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time," he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little,but as they get older,they change. "Turner explains that his twelve﹣year﹣old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change, "he adds, "It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink﹣﹣ before that it was a color for boys."

Do you enjoy hitting the books? It doesn't mean you enjoy beating your books with your hand. That may be reasonable if you don't understand something inside your books. Hitting the books just means that you are studying hard. You can learn a lot when you hit the books. (1)Especially before examsmost students spend a lot of time hitting the books to get good grades

    This is just one example of expressions that can't be understood by taking them apart(分开)word by word. Expressions like this are called idioms(习语). They are an important part of a culture's language. Languages and cultures are closely connected. One example of an idiom in the Chinese language is "dui niu tan qin", or "to play the lute(拨弦乐器)to a cow." (2)这意味着某人在说话或写作时不考虑其听众或读者.

    Let's get back to idioms that begin with the word "hit". (3)There are many of them in Englishbut it's not that easy for you to understand

    One common idiom you may hear in English is "hit the road". It means to leave or to go. You can say, "Hey, I need to hit the road. Can we talk about this another time?" Or simply, "It's time to hit the road." When you are tired and you want to go to bed, you can say, "I need to hit the hay(干草)." It means you want to go to sleep.(4)That's because a bed was often a big bag with hay inside in the past

    (5)习语使你的语言生动而有趣. Let's hit the road to learn some and try to use them.

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

    Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved reading crime and detective (侦探) novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career (职业) and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn't. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studied journalism (新闻) ,but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise (妥协 ) , especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty﹣five,I'd already finished two novels and had an agent.

    To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance (浪漫) novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, "Well, if you think it'll make me successful, okay," I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it ﹣ she even offered to lend it to me after she'd finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably did me a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.

(1)Hazel is probably  

A. an agent

B. a journalist

C. a teacher and artist

D. a teacher and writer

(2)The underlined words "is very big on " in the passage most probably mean  

A. to give no advice

B. to like something very much

C. to have more experiences

D. to misunderstand something

(3)It's clear that Hazel  

A. agreed to study journalism for a degree

B. accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name

C. would like to write something for teaching

D. told her workmates about her writing novels

(4)Hazel finally realized that her parents' advice on her career was  

A. helpful

B. exciting

C. disappointing

D. risky

(5)We can infer from the passage that  

A. Hazel likes showing off in public

B. Hazel's students all want to write novels

C. Hazel's agent has played a role in her success

D. older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel

Most people use their mouths to talk, but do you know some people use their hands to speak? Some people who cannot bear use their hands to communicate messages to others. This is called sign language. These people make shapes with their fingers, movements with their hands, as well as different faces in order to talk to other people.

    One way people speak with their hands is by making shapes for letters with their fingers. For example, if you make an "OK" sign with your thumb and finger, that is the shape for the letter "f" in American sign language. Each letter has a hand shape. This way people can spell words using their hands. For example, if you want to spell "fun", you need to make three shapes. First you make the shape for the letter "f", then the shape for the letter "u", and then the shape for the letter "n".

    ______.If you move your hand from your nose to your chin(下巴), you can say "mother" in American sign language. Of course, you have to use the correct hand shape, too. That shape is like holding

your hand open with all five fingers showing. If you move your hand from the top of your head to your chin, you can say "father". Again, you have to use the same hand shape that you used for "mother".

    Finally, people can change their faces to communicate in a sign language. For example, if you want to ask a question, you need to make your eyebrows(眉毛)go up. You also need to move your head forward a little. If you want to say "I do not know", you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down.

(1)If you want to spell the word "nice", you need to make   hand shapes.

A.one

B.two

C.three

D.four

C. hand and head
