If you don’t know what your friends are doing, will you get anxious (焦虑的) ? Fifty- one percent of teenagers said yes when they were asked this question in a recent study. The fear that “I’m absent while others might be having fun” is called FOMO — fear of missing out.

FOMO pushes you to check the social media (社交媒体) more often. This can make you become more easily affected (影响) by others. You may feel sad, lonely and bored if you start to experience FOMO.

So, what can we do to deal with it?

Change your focus

You should stop worrying about what you may be missing out on. Instead, try to focus on the good things you have already been doing. Use your spare time to do things you enjoy, such as painting or playing soccer.

Keep a diary

By keeping a personal diary, you will learn to be more grateful for the great things you have in your life. You will realize that you are the only one who has control over your life, not the Internet. ….

Build up real connections

When you feel lonely, why not meet up with people in real life? Talking with your family or taking part in a group activity can help you feel better.

As long as you live in the moment, you’ll never miss out on anything in your life!

Facial recognition technology(人脸识别技术)is widely used today. For example, police use it to search for bad guys. It's also used to unlock phones or doors.

Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection(探测), is entering a new field: the business of advertising(广告).

Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores. One facial detection system can judge a person's "happiness" or "fear" level. That helps businesses see how people feel as they lo at products or advertisements in the store. Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses. If so, stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.

Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards. Cameras in those boards can detect information like people's ages and five levels of feelings——from "very happy" to "very unhappy".

Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers' experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices.

Some are against the idea of using such systems. Pam Dixon, the head of a privacy(隐私)group, is one of them. She thinks   ▲   . For example, a business could raise the price of a product according to a person's age and feelings.

A. weight                    B. feelings                   C. height                     D. jobs

A. can detect buyers' names and record them

B. is put inside some large advertising boards

C. may be used to sell cheaper goods in all stores

INTRODUCTION It’s hard to believe that I wrote Number the Stars more than twenty years ago. It seems like yesterday that I answered the phone on a snowy January morning and received the news that it had won the 1990 Newbery Medal (美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖) .

I think readers of every age may match themselves with the important persons in the books they love and ask themselves: Would I have done that? What choice would I have made?

And ten-the age of Annemarie in Number the Stars —is an age when young people are beginning to develop a strong set of personal ethics (道德观 ; 价值观) . ...They are beginning to realize that the world they live in is not always good and safe.

So they follow a story about a ten-year-old girl who is caught in a dangerous situation, and she must make decisions. Young readers become cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath, enters the woods, faces the danger, stands up to the enemy and wins her victory.

Today, the book has been published in many countries and translated into many languages. It found its way into the hands and hearts of children who had read about but never experienced war. . . . Books do change lives, I know; and many readers have told me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were young, that it made them think about both cruelty (残酷 ; 残忍) and courage. “It was something that shaped my idea of how people should be treated, ” wrote a young woman recently, telling me about her own fourth-grade experience with the book.

The Danish friend who first told me the story of her childhood, and who became the Annemarie in my book, is an old woman now. So am I. We both love thinking of the children reading the story today, coming to it for the first time and realizing that once, for a short time and in a small place, a group of prejudice-free (不存偏见的) people created a touching story of love and kindness towards others.
