21、There was a man named Raman. One day, he found he was travelling with a group of soldiers. They used to join in a war and soon they started talking about their experiences in the war.

22、When you hear Westerners（西方人）say “ Drop in anytime”（随时来玩）or “Come and see me soon” , you should realize that it doesn’t mean you are welcome to come over to their house anytime. It’s wise to telephone before visiting someone.

Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come.” If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance（提前）that you will not be there.

When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate. Sometimes Westerners may take you out to dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal. He might want you to “go Dutch”, which means each person pays his own bill.

23、If you are looking for something to kill your time, TikTok is just the app. TikTok is a social media platform (社交媒体平台). There you can watch, share and create short videos. These videos can be about almost everything, from personal lives to the latest news.

In February 2021, TikTok has around 1.1 billion users worldwide. Almost 60% of the users are between the ages of 16 and 24. Then, why is it so popular among young people?

Firstly, most videos on TikTok last only 15 seconds. Sometimes it seems a15-second video can make you happier than a one-hour TV show. It is relaxing for people who look for fun for a few minutes after busy days.

The algorithm (算法) of the app is another reason. Whenever you open the app, the first page you see is the “For You” page. By using algorithm, TikTok can know your interest and provide videos you may like on the “For You” page. If you “heart” the videos you love, similar ones will keep showing up.

TikTok also encourages everyone to become a creator. Creators can make videos in any way they want. If they want their videos to appear on the “For You” page of many other users, they should make them attractive. That encourages video creators to keep producing more.

As TikTok has grown, more and more young people become addicted to short videos. You may find yourself spending an hour or two on hundreds of short videos without realizing it. Maybe you just plan to relax a while before finishing your work but end up doing nothing except for scrolling down the screen the whole afternoon.

【1】What can we know about TikTok?

A．TikTok offers any news you want.

B．TikTok helps people make good friends.

C．TikTok attracts many young people.

D．TikTok helps people make everything.

【2】How many reasons for the success of TikTok are mentioned in the passage?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．Young people use TikTok too much.

B．Young people are good at using TikTok.

C．TikTok helps young people make videos.

D．TikTok helps more young people grow up.

【4】What does the writer probably agree with?

A．Young people should learn to use TikTok.

B．Using TikTok makes young people famous.

C．Using TikTok has both good and bad effects.

D．Using TikTok is harmful to people’s health.
