26、When someone asks me what I do first thing in the morning I feel ashamed. Then, I have to shamefully admit that I turn my alarm (闹钟) off on my phone and scroll (滚屏) through WeChat. Before I’ve even had the chance to brush my teeth or wash my face I’m already right away attracted by whatever people are doing online. And I know it needs to change.

But the last time I was asked this question was about two months ago and have I changed my ways? Not even a little bit. We all know how unproductive social media (社交媒体) can be. So why is it so easy to get addicted to (沉溺于) a huge mass of pretty pictures, and funny behavior and ideas? And why is it so hard to change? Lisa Lewis, a doctor in Brookline tells me the answer is simple. “It’s because the point of these apps is to keep you looking,” she says. “They want you to buy, and get you to follow and like. Their only purpose is to win your attention.”

She says you must have a purpose when it comes to using any social media apps. “Don’t just go on and scroll.” she explains. “Just like you wouldn’t walk up to the refrigerator and stare at what’s inside for no reason, don’t do the same with social media.” If social media is reducing your productivity and overall health, Lewis offers these steps:

First, set a goal whenever you use a social media app. If you use WeChat to get inspiration to exercise, do that and then get off it. Next, you can use a timer. These days you can set a timer for how many hours a day you spend on social media. Set it and stick to it. And finally, you can create a prize to strengthen the behavior. When you set that timer and stick to it, positively strengthen the behavior with anything from tasty food, to things you’ve been eyeing on Amazon.

D．She is a heavy user of social media.

【2】Why is it difficult to beat the addiction mentioned in Paragraph 2 according to Lewis?

A．The apps are aimed at attracting users.

B．Social media are a good way to kill time.

C．People want to communicate with friends.

D．Online information is key to most people’s life.

【3】Why does Lewis mention the refrigerator?

A．To show how attractive social media could be.

B．To discuss why social media reduce productivity.

27、   In an age where health and well-being is stressed as part of a happy life, avoiding weight gain may be of high importance to many people.【1】You can make a few basic lifestyle decisions to help lower the chances of gaining weight.

Weight loss or gain is not a mystical, confusing process.【2】An average adult will burn between 1,500 and 2,000 calories per day when going about daily activities. Once it is established how many calories a person is likely to burn every day, avoiding weight gain becomes a simple matter of not consuming more than what is burned.

【3】 Most typical supermarkets are set up so that produce, dairy, and bread are placed against the walls. By skipping the middle aisle that is occupied by frozen, processed and snack foods, a smart shopper can knock off a considerable amount of calories. If unhealthy food isn’t in the house, a weight-conscious person won’t eat it.

Avoiding gaining weight by doing exercise sounds like a good plan, but many people exercise inefficiently because of busy lives. “Weekend Warriors” attempt to make up for not exercising during the week with large amounts of sessions on weekends. However, this style of exercise makes injury more likely. 【4】

Thirty minutes’ focused exercise every day will likely do more good than large amounts of workouts per week. 【5】It can also be walking to the store, running around with the kids, swimming on hot days, and biking at the beach.

A．Drink about four large glasses of water per day.

B．Lifting weights while watching TV is also a kind of exercise.

C．Luckily, a variety of resources exist to help keep a healthy weight.

D．Shopping around the edges of grocery stores helps prevent weight gain.

E．Besides, it can lead to exhaustion, and overeating due to a drop in blood Sugar.

F．You’ve probably wondered at one time.or another how much you should weigh.

G．Instead, it is a simple calculation of calories eaten compared to calories

28、Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

Use associations.

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note:“Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.

【1】How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A. They will be moved.   B. They will be annoyed.

C. They will be delighted.   D. They will be discouraged.

【2】When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __

A. all their names   B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names   D. as many names as possible

【3】What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.

29、I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.

My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left.

The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.

I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.

When I told her that they didn’t have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”
