1、Every year, thousands of K-12 students visit the University of Georgia (UGA) through the Experience UGA program. Hosting these students is made possible by the Experience UGA ambassadors (大使), a team of UGA students trained to support the program. They help create and support the field trips and introduce school children to college with interactive and educational visits that are grade-level specific. For example, every second grade group tours the Ramsey Student Center to learn about health-related topics, and all seventh graders explore UGArden to learn about nutrition and agriculture.

"Each year I realize the impact I'm making on students," said Leslie Oroyemi, who is beginning her third year as an Experience UGA ambassador. "I love reaching younger populations and engaging with them. It's nice to see them grow and discover different interests."

This was the first year that Oroyemi has been an ambassador for second grade trips, and she said it has become her favorite. Her favorite part of the day is teaching second graders how easily germs (病菌) spread through a game of tag (捉人游戏) — those with "germs" have chalk on their hands and go around trying to touch and "infect" others. The kids then learn how important hand washing is to prevent the spread of germs.

Camille Holcomb is beginning her second year as an ambassador. She said working with different ages means connecting with them differently. The second graders are excited about everything, while the seventh graders are more reserved (保守的). Holcomb learned that connecting with the older students works best in between the activities — being personable and asking questions while walking around campus. Holcomb also learned that some friendly competition helps engage the more reserved students.

"Each ambassador is very fervent about giving back to the community and holds a special skill that contributes to creating a wonderful experience for students during each grade level trip," said Aiyana Egins, coordinator of Experience UGA. "I look forward to seeing the impact they will have on students this year."

2、Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic (机会主义) innovation, it's really full of hidden false realities.

The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month — $360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video. 

This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid "job", it promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive.

While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it's important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If we're constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthday and family holidays due to their jobs and aren't getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers? 

Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc, had his own view on this issue. "It sounds great to make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it's only online."

Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I' m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?

3、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, washed and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of "Happy New Year" in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met.

When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore located near the river through the city. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, intending to buy those books.

As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor family, the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold in the winter wind. "I wish you a happy New Year," cried Edward as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly.

Edward stopped and said, "It seems that you do not belong to this country." The man again shook his head, a confused expression flashed over his face, for he could not understand or speak English.

But the poor man pointed to his dry mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time."
