Since the early to mid-2010s，social media apps have made a permanent home in many people's phones，and spending time on social media has become as much of a daily activity as drinking water.Since so many people are on it for much of their days—especially kids，teens，and young adults—there is increased concern over what social media is doing to people.
Many argue that social media is an unhealthy way to pass the time，and that false information from online is causing confusion and panic.This type of thing happens with every generation when something new that people don't understand comes along：So many people thought rock-and-roll was making teens morally bad，which really wasn't the case.It is fair to say that the teenage years are hard，and that teens need an escape.Back before phones，teens would listen to rock music as a form of escapism，or they would watch TV，go to the movies，skate around，or dress up in crazy clothes.Unfortunately，all of those things at one point in time were blamed for being a bad influence on young people：Social media is the new rock-and-roll：it's a new thing，and people demonize（妖魔化）change.
For example，many believe that everything on social media apps is filtered（加濾鏡）and that seeing perfect people and their perfectly edited lives often leads to lots of negative emotions.However，models，magazines.jye.ai movies have been using retouching（修整）tools for photos and media since Photoshop and other post-production services were invented.Social media has made it easier to see more edited pictures，but social media itself isn't making people want to look a certain way.People should acknowledge that these pictures aren't authentic，and the posts are made to look good on purpose.Social media is hot to blame for body confidence issues when the things people want to look like aren't even real in the first place.
It seems like most issues around social media are user errors，like anyone complaining there are too many people being addicted to social media.However，not everyone is addicted to social media；people who have any grasp on reality wouldn't spend every waking second on the phone.It is really up to the individual how they use social media.Keeping up with the flood of posts，stories，and photos takes a lot of time—many young people admit that they spend hours on their phones every day.Yet，this seems like an easy problem to solve when the solution is simply clicking off the phone a couple hours early.Therefore，it is clear that moderation（適度）is the key to dealing with all the issues around social media.

1．Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud，whether it was in the supermarket or on the street，I used to think how annoying it was.That was until a few months ago.
Recently，my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness，asking me to fix the "little girl" pattern on her wheelchair seat.Not wanting her to stand out at school，I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker，eager to erase whatever childish signs I could.Shortly after，Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school.This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school，as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork.
I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life.Back then，it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals，as she spent so much time in them.No matter how sick she got，however，she always had a positive attitude.But this was different：Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did.Zoe usually sings all the time，whether she's playing，riding in the car，or just doing her homework.There was no need for a radio in our house；Zoe provided the music for us.Consumed （被折磨）with my motherly worries， it was more concerning to me than her sickness.
One day，however，I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner.I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. "Pure delight. '' I thought to myself.Her voice slowly grew stronger，and soon，both the car and the house were filled with her music once more.How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped，weeks and weeks ago？Now，thankfully，she's back in school，smiling and singing，and I'm thankful for each and every song she sings.
These days，whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves，I don't get mad.Instead，I smile，as I know that by singing out loud，they're simply sharing their happiness with the world.

2．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play video games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
（1）According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？
A．Those who often do sports.
B．Those who often walk to school.
C．Those who often watch television.
D．Those who often have meals at home.
（2）What does the underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably mean？
A．Moving.
B．Forcing.
C．Driving.
D．Guiding.
（3）The main purpose of the text is to.
A．tell a story
B．provide facts
C．give advice
D．compare opinions發(fā)布：2024/11/10 12:30:2組卷：8引用：1難度：0.7 -
3．What do Harry Potter，Katniss Everdeen，and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths？Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called "The Hero with a Thousand Faces"，retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth，or Hero's Journey.So，what is the "hero's journey"？
He thinks of it as a cycle in his book.The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message，an invitation，or a challenge.After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure，with some help probably from someone older，wiser，our hero solves a riddle，slays a monster，escapes from a trap.The hero's darkest hour then comes，when he faces death and possibly even dies，only to be reborn.As a result，the hero claims some treasure，special recognition，or power，which can vary between stories.After all that adventure，the hero returns to his ordinary world，but upgrades to a new level.Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.
The Hero's Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated，because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives.You leave your comfort zone，have an experience that transforms you，and then you recover and do it again.You don't literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort，but you face problems just as scary.Joseph Campbell said， "In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek."
What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter？Auditions for the school play？Baseball tryouts？The paper due？
Watch for this formula in books，movies，and TV shows you come across.You will certainly see it again.Also be sensitive to it in your own life.Listen for your call to adventure.Accept the challenge.Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek.And then，do it all over again.
（1）What is the correct order of the following stages of the "Hero's journey"？
①Return to the ordinary world but outgrow his old life.

③Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.
④Face the life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.
A． ①②③④
B． ②④①③
C． ②③④①
D． ③②④①
（2）Why is Hero's Journey myth so popular？
A．Because it's a way to reflect on our world.
B．Because it's a way to learn about the past.
