I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group—we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.”
It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me.
But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment.
The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.
It is not an addiction any more.
【1】What was the author’s life like before her break from Facebook?
A.She enjoyed reading in her free time.
B.She spent much time on social media.
C.She didn’t get along well with her son.
D.She didn’t care what others thought of her.
【2】The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.close B.update C.keep D.check
【3】What did the author do to change her life?
A.She went to the gym as often as she could.
B.She developed some healthy habits.
C.She tried to make money for her holidays.
D.She traveled around a lot for a year.
【4】What is the author’s attitude toward social media?
A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.

Recently, Whitewater Middle School students in the US looked at 200 pounds (90.7kg) of food. Their classmates threw it away after a meal in the cafeteria.
They found the remains of pizzas. They saw untouched green salads and pieces of bread bitten only once.
It was, they said, both disgusting and educational.
“You don’t realize how much food waste you’re making till you see it,” said student Cody Gist.
To deal with this problem, Whitewater added environmental science as a school-wide program this year. Teachers are guiding their students through research on the ways food is linked to environment, poverty, and people’s health.
The school changed to compostable (可用作堆肥的) paper trays (托盘) as well. Working with Every Tray Counts, a US nonprofit group, the school hopes for a change from disposable (一次性的) trays to compostable paper trays.
This isn’t just an exercise at school. Whitewater is joining a network of schools, business and neighborhoods. They try to make composting as mainstream as recycling.
“The larger issue is protection of landfill space,” said Laurette Hall, an environmental management official. The area has enough space to last for maybe 25 more years, she said “That isn’t as much as it sounds in such a rapidly growing area.”
Principal Beth Thompson said students advise each other on new ways to deal with trash.
“Students understand why it matters so not one student refused to do extra work when throwing away their waste,” Thompson said.
Whitewater teachers make sure students know how their own eating habits are part of bigger problems. In environmental literature class, students read books such as Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal.
Mollie Lyman works with several language arts classrooms. Their classes discuss such issues as how poor neighborhoods often have less access to healthy food.
Lyman says she wants students to ask some basic questions: “What do we eat? What do we waste?”
【1】Why did Whitewater Middle School students look at the food?
A.To see how food was connected with other problems.
B.To find out the calories of different kinds of food.
C.To check what foods were most popular among students.
D.To prepare students for the environmental science course.
【2】What measures did Whitewater Middle School take?
① Introducing a new course about the environment.
② Using compostable paper trays in the cafeteria.
③ Setting up a group called Every Tray Counts.
④ Joining others to make composting common.
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④
【3】What did Laurette Hall worry about?
A.People don’t want to protect landfill space.
B.There won’t be enough landfill space in the future.
C.Students don’t know how to recycle trash.
D.Students don’t understand the waste problem.
【4】What is the purpose of the article?
A.To tell readers how important it is to save food.
B.To call on students to care about poor people.
C.To encourage schools to have environmental protection classes.
D.To share how a US school is making an effort for the environment.

Have you ever heard someone say, “you totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become.” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “feminine(女性的)”, just like the flower they are named for.
【1】What was the purpose of the study?
A.To find out today’s most popular English names.
B.To learn how names influence personality.
C.To find out whether names relate to their looks.
D.To show how men’s names are different from women’s.
【2】What can we infer from the study?
A.Volunteers found it easier to guess nicknames correctly.
B.Names may have different associations in different cultures.
C.Volunteers could guess the characteristics of those people.
D.The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same country.
【3】According to Ruth Mayo, why do some people look like their names?
A.They tend to become what others expect them to become.
B.They want to please everyone around them.
C.They don’t want to be different from others.
D.They like to copy famous people who share the same name.
【4】What point does the last paragraph want to explain?
A.Earlier studies about stereotypes are limited.
B.Stereotypes about names can bring good results.
C.Stereotypes about names can affect people’s looks.
D.It’s not always bad to be influenced by the expectations of others.

Flying to another country can sometimes take several days. But the designer of a futuristic jet (喷气式飞机) says his plane could take you around the world in your lunch break.
According to an article in The Sun, the plane, called the Antipode, could carry 10 people and use rocket boosters to go 12 km high. 【1】 Or it could fly from New York to Shanghai in 24 minutes.
An ordinary Boeing 747 has a top speed of 917 km/h. The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. 【2】
Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde was the world’s fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew. A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. 【3】
【4】 It stops the plane from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.
“It’s always something that people would like a transportation system that could take you from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr. Bombardier told the BBC.
【5】 The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality.
A. No Concordes were flown again after 2003.
B. There are huge differences between high-speed planes.
C. But the Antipode would probably reach a crazy 25,750 km/h!
D. Don’t try to buy a ticket for the plane yet, though.
E. Then it could fly from London to New York in less than 20 minutes.
F. The superfast plane could only carry ten passengers.
G. The Antipode’s design includes a special nose.
