Ryan is a young individual of commendable character, consistently achieving stellar academic results, demonstrating proficiency in the sport of lacrosse, and enjoying widespread admiration. Consequently, Jennifer and her spouse perceived no evident reason to withhold an Instagram account from their son, who was in the sixth grade, until Ryan posted an image of himself grasping an empty beer bottle that his father had just drained. "My husband observed the photograph materialize on Ryan's profile and promptly ascended the stairs, insisting that he remove it without delay," Jennifer narrates. "I surmise that my son did not grasp the severity of the impression his picture conveyed. He was endeavoring to be humorous, yet he is still in the sixth grade! Even if he was simply posing, that image was exceedingly inappropriate."
With the burgeoning popularity of the photo-sharing platform Instagram, it is not uncommon for parents to cultivate a misplaced sense of security. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, which encompass a more extensive array of content, Instagram is predominantly dedicated to the posting of images. Coupled with the age requirement of 13 and its privacy settings, it appears to be an almost innocuous site for children. How much mischief could they conceivably cause? However, this is not the actuality.
Surprisingly, some youngsters are resorting to paying for attention on social media. When Paula Pryor detected an enigmatic charge of $700 on her credit card, the last thing she anticipated was that it was a payment to a company that facilitated the acquisition of "likes" for Instagram photographs. "My son Hayden believed it was merely ten dollars, but it was ten dollars per 'like'," Pryor elucidates.
Often, the cause for concern is not one's own adolescent—it's someone else's child. Megan Koster was perplexed as to why her daughter Delaney suddenly became so apprehensive about whether her panty line was discernible through her jeans. Eventually, Delaney disclosed that she was worried someone might capture a photograph and post it on Instagram. "I don't think I would have survived middle school if websites like this had existed back then," Koster laments.
(1)、What made Jennifer think her son Ryan could have an Instagram account?A、He gained popularity in school. B、He was skilled at using Instagram. C、He showed interest in taking photos. D、He was old enough and behaved well.(2)、What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refer to?A、Instagram accounts. B、Social media. C、Pictures. D、Children.(3)、Why did Pryor's son pay the company $700?A、To obtain the picture he liked. B、To pay attention to social media. C、To get his photos noticed and liked. D、To pay the charge on his credit card.(4)、What's the text mainly about?A、Teen's problems with Instagram. B、Inappropriate pictures from children. C、The influence of the Internet on young users. D、Concerns for the Internet security for children. -

"I'm so hungry, " he murmured. "I want to walk… to the park for… a rest. " After helping him sit on a park bench, Helen rushed home and returned with some food, only to find the man was lying on the ground, unconscious. "Sir, please wake up!" she cried in anxiety. "‘What should I do?" she wondered.

I love holidays! There's nothing better than jetting off to a foreign destination to visit the attractions it has on offer. Of course, I'm not alone. Millions of people are doing the same, and why not? The world has an amazing variety of must-see sights, from breathtaking natural scenery to impressive old cities. But the problem is that too many of us are visiting them at the same time, putting pressure on these delicate and ancient places.
That's why a number of beauty spots and historic sites have been introducing charges or restrictions on the tourists who visit. There are many reasons for this: to reduce overcrowding, which can spoil the atmosphere of a place, to manage wear and tear on old buildings, to tidy up the mess that visitors leave behind, or-as some may suggest-creating tourist traps to make more money out of the visitors.
The famous Italian city of Venice with its picturesque canals has, for example, introduced an entry fee of up to€10 for short-stay tourists. Venetians have long complained that mass tourism is wearing out the city. Now, passengers arriving by cruise ship will have to pay a "landing tax" which Mayor Luigi Brugnaro says, "would generate much-needed income to keep the city clean."
Many cities in Europe already charge an occupancy tax on tourists who stay in hotels and guest houses. In the UK, Edinburgh is hoping to do the same, controversially making it the first city in the country to do so. This tax that is usually charged per person per night of accommodation raises money to help protect the environment, pay for infrastructure (基础建设), or promote tourism.
In Italy's capital city, Rome, new laws are being introduced to clamp down on bad tourist behavior, which some argue is spoiling the look and feel of the city. Rules include banning drinking water from fountains and attaching "love padlocks" to bridges.
As more of us can now afford to travel, global tourist destinations are going to get busier, so maybe new taxes and laws are going to be a necessary part of the sightseeing experience.
(1)、Why do many attractions introduce charges or restrictions on tourists?A、To relieve stress on the fine and old places. B、To adopt a hunger- marketing strategy. C、To pay for cruise ship and accommodation. D、To include a necessary part of sightseeing.(2)、Why does the author mention Edinburgh?A、To stress the importance of tourism. B、To give another example of tourist tax. C、To encourage people to pay tax. D、To recommend hotels and guest houses.(3)、Which word could best replace the underlined phrase "clamp down on" in paragraph 5?A、Spoil. B、Spot. C、Prohibit. D、Promote.(4)、What may be the author's opinion about the new taxes and laws?A、They will lead to more crowded sites. B、The effect will die down. C、They will encounter strong opposition. D、The trend will spread out. -

There are many places to see lovely giant pandas in China. But where is the best place for you to go for a special panda trip? What is the best time to go? Here are some recommendations.

Learning how to cook can be a fun process, especially food-making adventure with good friends at college.
For Huo Zhiyi, this year's Dragon Boat Festival was surely one to remember. Instead of having a holiday dinner at a restaurant, the 21-year-old junior student and her classmates from Shenyang Agricultural University cooked for themselves in a shared kitchen.
This new shared kitchen, which covers 340 square meters on the second floor of the university's First Dining Hall, including a 22-square-meter cooking area, opened early last month. Students can use cookware and appliances (electric equipment) such as pans, ovens, and freezers, and various stuffs, like cooking oil, salt, and sugar, for free-all provided by the university. All they have to prepare is the basic ingredients (食材), such as meat and fresh vegetables.
"The three-day holiday was too short for us to return to our hometowns, so we decided to spend the festival together on campus. We all felt bored of the dining halls and take-out food. The newly opened shared kitchen has given us a space to cook for ourselves." The shared kitchen has quickly gained popularity with students and it is hard to find an available stove, especially during meal times. "We had to book it a week in advance," Huo said. The six young students worked for nearly three hours in the kitchen to cook eight dishes. "It was not as easy as we thought," she said.
The time spent in cooking has helped them communicate and cooperate more. "Compared with unhealthy take-out food, most college students desire hometown-style dishes or their favorite specialties, but it's hard to find them in campus dining halls," said Yi Guangcheng, director of the First Dining Hall. "The shared kitchen can help make their wishes come true. Meanwhile, it provides an opportunity to develop friendship and enrich social life. Delicious food is always a good bridge of communication," he said.
In addition to providing more convenience for the students, the shared kitchen also focuses on education, according to Ge Pengyue, director of the university's food center. "It is a creative feature of the university in quality education. We hope students can learn the basic life skill of cooking before they step out into society."

Two Canadian teenagers, Faiz and Leo, have been taking on a series of wonderful challenges. Their most recent achievement was following the Lake Ontario coastline for 73 kilometers, walking from Toronto to Hamilton, Canada, in about 18 hours.
"We enjoy trying new things that are good for our bodies and minds. We like to overcome challenges like these. And we feel going on a long walk seems to be the purest form of challenge that you can have," Leo said.
With very little preparation, the two 16-year-olds began their journey at 6 am, starting in darkness and finishing before midnight. They took several breaks, stopping at benches with nice views along the way.
On their walk, one of the interesting things they came across was a cargo ship (货船) which was no longer used. "You'd be surprised by the things that you don't see when you' re driving and that you will see when you' re taking your time walking," said Leo.
However, the journey was not only a trial (考验) for bodies but also an important test of minds. There were moments of loneliness for the pair, requiring them to support each other along the way.
Around 70 km into the walk, they ran into a person on a bridge who appeared to be experiencing something painful.
"I wasn't sure what was going to happen me and Leo, we tried to talk him out of it and ended up calling the police, and the situation was eased and everyone was OK," Faiz said.
The walk is now long over but Faiz and Leo are not done challenging themselves, with plans to start a two-day 100 km walk in the near future.
(1)、What was the recent challenge completed by Faiz and Leo?A、Hiking across the whole Canada. B、Driving from Toronto to Hamilton. C、Completing a 100-kilometer hike in 18 hours. D、Walking 73 kilometers along the Ontario coastline.(2)、According to Leo, why do they like to challenge themselves?A、To receive rewards and praise. B、To exercise their bodies and minds. C、To stay away from life pressure.
