• 1、When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. The fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given in today's world. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin-starred chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table screen-free have largely failed.

    New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For every five portions (份) of fruits and vegetables (the recommended amount) that a person thinks their friends are eating, they'll eat an extra one. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they'll eat an extra one.

    The research suggests that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people's choices of food and their diets. Study author Lily Hawkins said, "We can use social media as a tool to shape each other's eating behaviour within friend groups and improve public health."

    Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People desire to copy what they see but they need good social media skills in order to identify what's real and what's not. It is necessary to avoid the fake (虚假的) perfection of social media.

    It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. Therefore, stay on the lookout for new ideas. You can gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.

    A、The influence of social media on people's diet. B、People's habit of taking photos before eating. C、Chefs' efforts to make the table screen-free. D、The desire to have meals in fancy restaurants.
    (2)、What did the research find about people seeing their friends' food posts?
    A、They'll like what their friends eat. B、They'll take junk food more seriously. C、They'll care more about their friends' eating habits. D、They'll consume more than they think their friends do.
    (3)、What is Lily Hawkins's attitude towards social media?
    A、Positive. B、Doubtful. C、Concerned. D、Unclear.
    (4)、What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
    A、Point out the unreality of social media. B、Call on people to learn more about cooking. C、Introduce the general types of food posted online. D、Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.

  • 18、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    I'm a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week made me feel (confuse).

    First, I had to think carefully about which (course)I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I register for literature because I like English and I'm good at it. I also (have) to choose extra-curricular activities. I tried to join the school football team, the coach told me that I didn't play well enough. (Obvious) ,I was unhappy, but I won't quit. I'll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to the people are homeless in the community.

    I know I'll have to study harder before and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I'm a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my (advance) course, and it'll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I'm happy to be here.   (study) hard isn't always fun, but I'll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.

  • 20、​​​​​​​Healthy relationships with your partner and family members can improve your life and make everyone feel good about themselves. Healthy relationships take time to build and keep. The more positive effort you put into a relationship, the healthier it should be.

    People in healthy relationships love and support each other. They are there for each other in the good times and the bad times.

    They are less likely to have physical and mental ( 精神的) health problems. Healthy relationships can increase your sense of worth and belonging, give you confidence and encourage you to try new things and learn more about yourself.

    People who are in a healthy relationship talk to each other regularly and listen to each other too. Misunderstandings can happen. Making a real effort to understand what the other person is saying also helps. Double checking that you have understood correctly can avoid misunderstandings. To encourage more open communication in your relationship, you can set aside time to speak to each other, without interruptions (打断) and put yourself in the other person's shoes.

    Building healthy relationships with partners, friends and family is good for you. Keeping good relationships with others takes time and effort. No relationship is perfect, but it is important that it brings you more happiness than stress.

    A. They don't just happen though.

    B. Continuing them is also important.

    C. It is best to be clear about what you want to say.

    D. It is important that you both accept your differences.

    E. They help each other practically as well as emotionally.

    F. There are other things to consider besides having common interests.

    G. People who have healthy relationships are more likely to feel happier.
