When you create a social networking profile, a photo is almost always required. One of the reasons is that it says much more about you than you might think, according to a study published in the journal Cyberpsychology Behavior, and Social Networking.
The factors that shape people's ratings of our attractiveness based on profile photos are complicated—they don't just take things at face value. So what really influences people when making oneself look good?
Researchers studied 104 college students by showing them various photos of the same user on a social network. One is social cues, which the study's authors defined as personal and social information about the user that could be gathered from the photo. The other is congruence (一致性), which was measured in terms of the positivity of comments associated with each photo.
Photos with social cues that revealed more about the user were rated highly in terms of physical attractiveness. What's more, the researchers noted, the tone of the comments had more effect on attractiveness ratings than did social cues present in the photos. "When other people's comments are incongruent with the self-presentation," the authors wrote, "participants were less likely to perceive (察觉) the profile owner to be more popular than when there is congruence, regardless of the amount of social cues present in the profile."
So your profile photos don't necessarily have to be model-like. Photos that show your social relationships or hobbies are actually more important for your attractiveness. And if you want to build up a certain image, keep an eye on the comments being left on your social networking profiles.
A. They tested reactions to two factors.
B. Choosing the right photo is important.
C. A pretty photo may not be enough, the study shows.
D. That's because people's comments are most important for your popularity.
E. Therefore, attaching a wonderful photo can surely guarantee you a great job.
F. Many university students rely on computer software to make their profile photos shine.
G. Meanwhile, positive comments led viewers to regard users as more socially attractive.

Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook. I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on & child's bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, "I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors' tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on."
(1)、Imitation proves useful when you ____.A、know you are unique B、lose the balance of life C、begin to learn something new D、get tired of routine practice(2)、What does the underlined word "glorifies" in paragraph 4 mean?A、complains. B、beautifies. C、dominates. D、rejects.(3)、The trouble a creator faces is ____.A、the lack of strong motivation B、the absence of practical ideas C、how to search for more materials D、how to use imagination creatively(4)、What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A、To highlight the importance of creativity. B、To criticize the characters of role models. C、To compare imitation with creation. D、To explain the meaning of success. -

Video producer and musician Justin Scholar enjoyed his fantastic moment weeks ago when he spotted his latest work playing on a huge electronic screen at New York's Times Square.
"It's sort of the American dream to see your name up in lights," says the 25-year-old New Jersey native. "I'd never really cared about my name being that big, but going to New York and seeing the big screens, you always wonder if your work is going to make it up there."
The video that helps Scholar fulfill his "American dream" was shot and produced in China, where Scholar is living and working as a media company owner. Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University. The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditional arts during his study in Shanghai, spending most of the time learning ink-and-wash painting, calligraphy and the guzheng, a traditional Chinese musical instrument. He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and felt safe walking on the streets at 3 am.
Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar.
Thanks to a combination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon with a Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely six months. The video that plays at
Times Square, a tourism promotional film for southwest China's Chongqing city, is the company's first project contracted(签合同) by a local government in China.
(1)、What did Scholar study in Shanghai?A、TV media. B、Technical art. C、Traditional arts. D、The Chinese language.(2)、What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraphs 3 and 4?A、To change to a new topic for writing. B、To make a conclusion of the first 2 paragraphs. C、To dive deeper into the previous topic. D、To add the background information of the video.(3)、What do we know about Scholar's video playing at Times Square?A、It was shot at Times Square. B、It showed attractions of Chongqing. C、It was shot in the year 2015. D、it showed his college life in Shanghai.(4)、What does the text intend to tell us?A、China opens up new routes to international tourists. B、Shanghai attracts an increasing number of foreigners. C、An American dream unexpectedly comes true with the great video. D、A young American brings Chinese tourist video to Times Square. -

Are you a tea drinker? If so, you're not alone. Every day around the world millions of cups of this popular brew (沏茶) are drunk. The oldest discovered tea is from the Han Dynasty. But the tea trend really took off during the Tang Dynasty, when it became China's national drink.
Tea is the second most consumed drink in the world. Most of us can't resist a cup of tea sometimes. They're a perfect pick-me-up and comforter. For many, having a "cuppa" is a daily routine. And according to some scientists, habitual tea consumption can have some health benefits. Drinking black tea may speed up recovery from the daily stresses in life, though we do not know what ingredients of tea take effect. Also, drinking seven or more cups of green tea was associated with a lower risk of death among both heart attack and stroke survivors. So, if we turn to tea for its taste, its image or as a lifestyle choice, it could be a lifesaver!
Tea is consumed in many ways — slurped, sipped or glugged (大口喝). It can be poured from pots, infused or brewed in the cup using tea bags — and it's this latter process that is causing concern. Scientists from McGill University in Montreal found that some ‘plastic' tea bags shed high levels of microplastics into water. However, The World Health Organization says such particles in drinking water do not appear to pose a risk.
Most tea bags are made from paper, with a small amount of plastic used to seal them shut. This has led to debate about whether they can be recycled. However, gardener Mike Armitage has said that the plastic contained in the soil could be washed into streams and rivers and ultimately out to sea.
Unilever, the owners of the tea brand PG Tips, said their tea bags are made with a small amount of plastic-used to seal them-and that they are suitable for composting. And the brand Yorkshire Tea said their bags do contain plastic, but they were actively developing recyclable things to replace the plastic.
(1)、What can we learn about tea from paragraph 2?A、Drinking black tea and green tea has similar effects on our health. B、Habitual tea consumption benefits us both physically and mentally. C、We have found out what ingredients of tea help people relieve stresses. D、Many people consume tea daily because it can cure some strange diseases.(2)、What makes some people worried according to the passage?A、The ingredients of tea. B、The change of tea set. C、The brew with tea bags. D、The different tastes of tea.(3)、What is the passage mainly about?A、People around the world enjoy tea. B、People enjoy tea but debate tea bags. C、Some ingredients in tea have negative effects. D、Many tea businesses try to improve tea quality.(4)、Which column of a newspaper may the passage probably come from?A、Tourism. B、Sports. C、Economy. D、Culture. -

"Be proud of doing something honorable that you think might bring you shame at first," Grandma always told us before telling us this favorite family story.
In 1918, Grandpa worked in a shoe repair shop. He labored on the night shift so that he would be free to take care of the children in the daytime, allowing Grandma to attend school and receive an education.
On the morning of her first class, Grandma excitedly rushed to dress for school. As she excitedly took out all her old socks, Grandma became sad. She discovered all had many holes. "Forget it, dear. We have no time to repair them now," urged Grandpa. "You'll be late for class. And, anyway, I have a surprise for you!"
A moment later, Grandpa handed Grandma her old high-button shoes. But she could hardly recognize them, as they had been repaired and looked beautiful. While she was sleeping that night, Grandpa secretly repaired the shoes.
Grandma's eyes welled with tears of gratitude, "I'll look like a fine lady in these wonderful shoes!" she said. "Hurry! Put on a pair of long socks and the beautiful shoes, and no one will suspect you have honey socks. They'll be our little secret," Grandpa promised. Grandma nodded and rushed out when Grandpa handed her two one-dollar bills for her tuition.
Arriving at school, Grandma felt uneasy in a classroom filled with strangers. Standing ahead was a serious-looking teacher called Miss Peabody. That morning, Miss Peabody passed an empty bowl around the classroom and instructed each student to drop the fees into it. Every student did that. One student paid his fee with a bright two-dollar gold coin.
After collecting all the money, the teacher placed the bowl on her desk. Later that afternoon, when Miss Peabody counted the money, the small gold coin accidentally slipped out of the bowl and fell into Grandma's shoe. Unaware of it, Miss Peabody discovered the coin was missing. She felt quite anxious and searched around, but in vain.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Meanwhile, Grandma felt convinced that the thing in her shoe must be the coin.
……
Hesitant but determined, Grandma removed her shoe, feeling everyone's gaze on her honey sock.

Have you heard of "spaving"? It refers to the phenomenon where individuals try to save money but end up spending more than they originally intended due to discounts and special promotions. About six in ten Americans admitted to spaving in a survey of 3,000 respondents. You might also be a victim of spaving.
Create a proper spending plan.
One key roadblock is that people tend to think that their past expenses were lower than they had planned, and assume that their future expenses will also be much lower. As a result, people are more likely to set up an unrealistic budget. And not being able to meet the goals they have set gets them further off track.
Check your opportunity costs.
So when we see a great deal, we get excited and think about how much we will save rather than thinking about the trade-offs. Next time, when considering a great deal, ask yourself whether this purchase is more important than what else you could do with that amount of money.
Compare prices based on units.
In general, the bigger the quantity you're buying, the cheaper it should be per unit. For example, if you're buying a 24-pack of flavored water, the cost per can should be lower than that of the 12-pack. Keep an eye on such cases and make informed decisions.
As social creatures, humans look to what others are doing as cues about what they should do. So when it seems like everyone is taking advantage of the Labor Day Sale, Black Friday, or Prime Day, we assume that we should as well, even if we do not actually need anything at the moment.
A. Stop going with the stream.
B. Seek shopping advice from others.
C. This makes people fail, which is discouraging.
D. However, sometimes promotions go against this pattern.
E. Thankfully, it's easy to avoid this spending trap with a conscious mind.
F. The problem with spaving is that it tricks you into buying unneeded items.
G. Often, we don't think about what we're giving up when making a purchase.

As the growth of AI increased last year, writers and illustrators of comic books and animations continue to be particularly concerned about its potential impact on them.
AI can never reproduce the quality of humans when it comes to storytelling, argues Shawnee Gibbs. "This is an incredibly unique medium (comics and animation) that gets its DNA from the collaboration of writers and artists. I can't imagine that kind of cooperation when you generate stories from AI," says Shawnee. However, her sister Shawnelle says, "AI will change the industry in ways we can't even understand at the moment." She wants to see laws emerge that protect human creators as AI technology evolves.
Rob Edwards is a writer of graphic novels. "A world of writers using AI is a world of unoriginal, recycled, impersonal ideas," he says. "Right now, there's a kid out there drawing the next weird but innovative comic book that could inspire millions. My concern is that AI will talk that kid out of it before anybody sees it. If you think the animated movies you watch are predictable now, just wait until computers are writing them."
One person who has created comic books whose images were all drawn by AI is artist Steve Coulson. He says that using AI to create individual images "can be a pretty simple exercise". However, he says that when you want to tell a story over multiple images, "it is a tougher nut to crack", as you have to "enable the system to produce consistent characters, settings, stylings and so on, in order to tell a whole story".
Despite the growing popularity of all these apps, Jonathan Kendrick says, "AI cannot create an image the way a human mind can. It's like having a bad writer help you—sure it will get an outline done, but if you need something with emotional weight, an AI isn't going to get you an Oscar. AI can never surprise us in the way we want our stories and art to be portrayed. Because of this, AI is simply a tool to be used by humans, not to replace them. Otherwise, we sacrifice the originality and creativity that consumers know and love."
(1)、What does Shawnelle stress in the second paragraph?A、The unique nature of comics and animation. B、The quality of storytelling crafted by humans. C、The need for legal protection for human creators. D、AI's ability to work with humans in storytelling.(2)、What does Rob Edwards worry about?A、AI steals creative ideas from kids. B、AI prevents people's inventiveness. C、AI produces predictable animated movies. D、AI makes people give up the idea of recycling.(3)、What does the underlined part mean?A、It is rewarding. B、It is thrilling. C、It is challenging. D、It is entertaining(4)、What does Jonathan Kendrick think of AI?A、It is bad in writing outlines for creators. B、It will win an Oscar for its originality. C、It will work just like a human mind. D、It fails to express feelings in writing. -

Research backs up the claim that anxiety can lead to anger. Jesse Cougle, a professor of psychology at Florida State University, and his team studied the frequency of aggression across several different anxiety disorders, according to research published in the journal Depression and Anxiety. The researchers found elevated anger levels across all anxiety disorders.
There are several possible reasons for this link. For one, the very experience of anxiety is a type of emotional arousal that can be distressing. In other words, people with anxiety might have a tendency to overreact in general.
"When someone cuts them off in traffic or when there's a perceived slight(轻视) or an inconvenience—these can lead to anger because they're already in a distressed and aroused state." says Cougle.
Another possible cause might include the temptation to push aside the anxious feelings. "When you avoid feelings, you don't deal with them so well. Just avoiding anxiety—not acknowledging it because it's too scary — can result in anger building up until it's uncontrollable and it explodes." says Schneier.
Take social anxiety for example. Those with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) tend to avoid conflict and might go out of their way to comfort others. But they also expect others to act in a negative way towards them. Feelings of rejection can lead to irritability(易怒) or behaviors that are aggressive: the exact opposite of the timidity that one might expect of someone with social anxiety. For example, if you put a socially anxious teen in a setting where they can't judge another's intention, like a high school dance, and when the teen returns, she scolds at her parents for forcing her to go.
Another overlooked link between anxiety and anger involves lack of sleep. People with anxiety disorders have difficulty falling and staying asleep. Overtime, this repressed tiredness can lead to an irritable outburst.
(1)、Which is NOT a reason for anger in the passage?A、Being anxious. B、Lack of sleep. C、A positive way towards others. D、The attempt to push aside anxiety.(2)、Which statement is true according to the passage?A、Inconvenience has nothing to do with anger. B、If you are refused by others, you may get angry. C、Schneier thinks avoiding anxiety cannot lead to anger. D、When someone have difficulty falling asleep, they may overlook anxiety.(3)、What's the main idea of the passage?A、The way to ease anxiety. B、The cause of anxiety. C、The need to avoid anxiety. D、The reasons why anxiety causes anger.(4)、In which section of a website can we probably find the text?A、Mind B、Technology C、Culture D、Opinion -

An optional college course named "Appreciation of the Jiangxi Opera" has been taught in a packed house recently at Nanchang University in east China's Jiangxi Province due to the professor's innovative way of teaching—putting on actual opera performances in her classrooms.
Waving water sleeves, and spinning folding fans while wearing traditional makeup and costumes, Chen Li, the instructor of this course, displayed the enchanting charm of Jiangxi Opera, a several-hundred-year-old local opera, in front of the students. Many of the students recorded the performances and posted the video clips of the class on social media platforms, receiving millions of views and likes from netizens.
Instead of adopting the traditional form of stage play, Chen devotes more attention to her students' interactive experience. "I invite my students to come to the stage and experience the whole process of the performance by themselves," Chen said.
The course which she teaches has been open for many years, mainly introducing the history, tunes and performance characteristics of Jiangxi Opera. It's not well known that this course, which is full of people now, was originally rarely attended. "Before, I used to focus on the form of speech and lectures while the teaching effect was unsatisfying: the classroom was quiet and the students seemed uninterested, many even playing on their phones in class," said Chen. To stir the enthusiasm of the students, Chen decided to put on a costume and turn the class into a stage to perform. With traditional garments(服装) and brandishing water sleeves, students are immersed in the world of Jiangxi Opera.
Faced with the unexpected fame, Chen was satisfied but also realized that a greater responsibility now rested on her shoulders. "I hope that even though the popularity of the Jiangxi Opera fades, this art can still be passed down through generations." Chen said.
(1)、What is Ms Chen's teaching method?A、Recording video clips of opera performances. B、Giving speeches and lectures about the opera. C、Employing the traditional forms of stage play. D、Acting out the opera on the spot in the classroom.(2)、What does Ms Chen ask her students to do in class?A、Give likes for her videos. B、Invite more fans to the class.

D、Satisfying(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、The crowded classroom means a lively class B、Teaching Jiangxi Opera wins likes from students C、A teacher performs in class to attract fans for her videos D、Opera professor turns classrooms into performance stages -
