Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many 'likes'

you've received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has

sent you a message?

Don't worry, you're not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and

around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fear this

habit could be damaging our mental health.

This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the

University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they are to be

depressed(

沮丧的

). In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times

more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing

the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.

Some of us certainly feel sad when we're ignored on social media sites, or when we see

someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and

clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that,

getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked

（上瘾的）

that it takes

you away from your real relationships.

likely to worsen pre- existing issues than directly cause them.

Other research by Glasgow University found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour

demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional

investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and

anxious.

Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose

we all want to be liked and we don't want to miss out on a conversation that's taking place

online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual

（虚拟的）

online world and connect

with the real world instead.

32. Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?

A. People surfing the Internet regularly.

B. People checking social media frequently.

C. People longing for more messages.

D. People receiving a few

“likes ” for their posts.

33. Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?

A. To give a more supporting example.

B. To introduce the coming topic.

C. To stress the importance of social media.

D. to explain the cause of a social media addict.

34. Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?

A. Because they have more time and money.

B. Because the virtual world is much more attractive.

C. Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.

D. Because they want to attract more attention.

’s the passage mainly about?

A. It’s common for teenagers to be a social medial addict.

B. Using smartphone does harm to people’s health.

C. social media addiction contributes to depression.

D. It’s better to stay away from the virtual online world.

A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in

the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average

teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers

struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and

they change as we grow.

So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight

plus hours of sleep and react properly to their body’s natural rhythms (

规律

). There has been a

general shift over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching

time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced

lunch time and lesson breaks.

Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the

management of children easier. Supervising (

监管

) hundreds of children “playing” requires

effective staffing (

人员配备

). And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks.

So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.

But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in

maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one

class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.

Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway, it could also

lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For

teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?

8.

How do schools often shorten the school day?

A. They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks.

B. They reduce the teaching time.

C. They properly adjust children’ natural rhythms.

D. They increase more holidays.

9. What’s the purpose of the children’ short lesson breaks according to the text?

A. To supervise children more easily.

B. To make children quickly take in what they.

Learned.

C. To reduce children’s excitement.

D. To make children behave better in class.

10. What can we learn about later school start time from the text?

A. It will add to the teacher’s pressure.

B. It has always been there for 25 years.

C. Parents may support it.

D. It benefits the students only.

11. What can be the best title for the text?

A. The benefits of a less stressful day.

B. The benefits of later school start time.

C. How to solve teenagers’ sleep problem.

D. The reasons why teenagers sleep

differently.
