21、Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly about the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Now researchers have found that too much time on social media may indeed have some negative effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after browsing(浏览)social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the unhappier they became.
There are a number of reasons for this. When browsing social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People rarely post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them with their own lives, they can end up feeling sad and depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they also can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying” where people become victims of being bullied online when others make negative or cruel comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realise that the pictures we see and stories we read are only a part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.

22、When you’re giving a speech to an audience, there isn’t a one-stop-shop approach that will address every individual.【1】You need to consider carefully the content at the planning stage of your speech.
【2】Larger audiences often have little or no audience participation, so you need to ensure that your speech fills the time slot(空档) allocated. To attain the attention of a larger audience, your tone and body language is also more important, and maintaining eye contact with as many individuals is vital.【3】This means you’ll need to prepare enough material to fill the time slot if needed, but allow for questions or comments throughout while still delivering your message in the time you have.
The second hurdle to overcome is that you naturally have lots of different types of people in the room.【4】As a general rule, there are 4 different ways people learn: visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinaesthetic. Including elements of each learning style will help to engage more of your audience, and assist in connecting with different audiences.
Another way you’ll need to adapt your speech is whether you are addressing other experts in the same field, or if you are talking to beginners or an audience with limited knowledge. Targeting these two types of audience will be a bigger and more difficult task.【5】Trying to target both experts and beginners with the same speech could alienate(疏远) both parties and result in the loss of engagement completely.
A.They learn and take in information in many different ways.
B.You are talking to a particular age group, gender or profession.
C.The most effective way is to create two versions of your speech.
D.Audiences, large or small, are complex and have different requirements.
E.Adapting your speech based on the audience size is your first action-point.
F.No matter how much you prepare, you may find you are losing audience engagement.
G.For smaller audiences they have more opportunity to be more conversational and relaxed.
23、 Foldable phones are once again facing questions about their durability(耐久性).The Galaxy Z Flip and the Motorola Razr are now both available to buy in the US-but early reports suggest the screens are easily damaged.
One media published photos of two layers of the Razr's display separating, affecting the touch screen. The Galaxy flip, meanwhile, boasts(自夸)a "flexible glass" display---but tests appear to show it scratching(刮擦)as easily as plastic.
In a statement, Samsung said the display had a protective layer, and had undergone extensive testing. "While the display does bend, it should be handled with care, "it said.
The Z Flip's "pretty thin glass" is one of Samsung's primary marketing messages for the new phone. But a durability test conducted by popular Zack Nelson, a regular buyer, suggested it was no more durable than soft plastic screen, and could even be dented(痕)by fingernail.
Nelson said Samsung's screen scratched exactly how plastic screen would react. "I don't know what material this is, but Samsung definitely shouldn't be calling it glass," he said. He found that the screen of the Motorola Razr scratched as easily but it is not marketed as "glass".
The Motorola Razr was put on sale 13 days ago in the US, but Raymond Wong, an editor says the flexible screen on his handset has already broken. The upper layer of the Razr's screen separated from the bottom, creating "a giant horizontal air bubble" for no apparent reason. He wrote that the fault appeared after 45-minute train ride during which the phone was in his pocket. The screen was completely warped from hinge-to-hinge with the top layer raised like a poorly applied screen protector. But Mr. Wong said that apart from the visual problem, the damage has affected the responsiveness of the touchscreen.
【1】What attitude do the buyers have to the quality of Galaxy Flip and Razr?
A.Suspicious. B.Objective.
C.Optimistic. D.Unconcerned.
【2】What is the outstanding feature of the Z Flip by Samsung?
A.Low price. B.Portable style.
C.Extremely thin screen. D.Protective function.
【3】Why does Nelson complain about Samsung?
A.He is angry at its post-sale service.
B.He is strict in its screen materials.
C.He is disappointed at its unfair competition.
D.He is unsatisfied with its inexact statement.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.Cheat always exists in business
B.Foldable phones may not be all that great
C.Different brands have their special features
D.Disadvantages of two kinds of phones
24、Chocolate––there’s nothing quite like it, is there? Chocolate is simply delicious. What is chocolate? Where does it come from?
The history of chocolate goes back to the discovery of cacao beans (可可豆). About 4000 years ago, the Americans made cacao beans into a drink and they took it as a gift from nature.
In 1519, the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortex visited Mexico in America. He saw people drank cacao mixed with spices (香料). Cortex took some cacao home as a gift to the Spanish King Charles. Since then, people in Spain began to drink cacao. However, the natural taste of cacao was too bitter for most people. To sweeten it, Spanish added sugar and honey to it. As a sweet drink, it became popular in Europe. By the 17th century, rich people in Europe began drinking cacao drink as a fashion.
In 1828, a Dutch chemist, Conrad J. van Houten started using a new process to remove the fat from cacao beans. He made a machine that pressed the fat from the beans. The resulting powder (粉末) mixed better with water than cacao did. People called van Houten’s cacao powder “Dutch chocolate”—it is the beginning of modern chocolate.
After that, chocolate makers started trying new recipes (配方) with Dutch chocolate. First it was mixed with sugar. Then butter was added to the sweetened chocolate to make chocolate bars. In 1849, an English chocolate maker successfully made the first chocolate bar. In the 19th century, the Swiss started making milk chocolate by mixing powdered milk. Milk chocolate has not changed much since this process was invented.
Today, the United States buys most of the chocolate in the world, but the Swiss eat the most chocolate per person. The most chocolate eaten today is sweet milk chocolate, but people also eat white chocolate and dark chocolate. Chocolate has become a worldwide snack and also a popular holiday gift.
