When we open a news app, we'll notice that every second, we are presented with so much information that our brain just can't keep it.The matter is made worse by our belief in “multi-tasking” which is, more often than not, simply another term for divided attention. 5 . Understanding our limit allows us to fix it.So, here are three tips to give ourselves the peace we really need.
Control the information flow
Set up a new account on social media and follow only accounts or people that are really valuable. 6 .It's much better to have a few healthy meals that fill you up, than eating fast food throughout the day.
7
It is unnecessary to throw away the phone but do give ourselves a time limit. Say, “I will only use this app for 20 minutes” or “I will only read this magazine after dinner.”
Acknowledge our limits
We'll never read all the news.We'll never read all the “must-read” articles. 8 .Don't beat ourselves up that we're being unproductive or we're missing out.We're getting more out of those few than that “super-productive” person on social media who says they read five books a week. 9 .
A．Set a time limit
B．Focus on one task
C．Pick only the content which enriches us
D．In other words, our brain is better than we think it is
E．Accept the fact that we can only choose two or three
F．After all, we are human beings who can only take in so much a day

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了怎样对待新闻应用程序推送的消息。
5．选F 上文提到我们做不到多任务处理；下文提到这是不能多任务处理的解决方案。因此F项(毕竟，我们是人，一天就只能消化那么多)承上启下，符合题意。
6．选C 根据上文的“follow only accounts or people that are really valuable”及下文举例可知，C项(仅挑出那些能滋养我们的内容)承上启下，符合题意。
7．选A 根据后文及下文的例子可知，本段主要讲要设定时间限制。故A项(设定时间限制)适合作本小节的标题。
8．选E 根据空前内容可知，我们永远读不完所有的新闻和所有的“必读”文章，故E项(接受这样的事实吧：我们只能挑出其中的两三个去读)承接上文，符合题意。
9．选G 上文提到我们比声称一周读五本书的人收获多，故G项(事实上，少记一点要比忘得一干二净好得多)承接上文，符合题意。UNIT 6 THE MEDIA

Ⅰ.阅读理解
1．选A 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you feel unloved ...beautiful autumn views.”和第四段中“A milk tea store at the foot of the mountain has launched an ‘unloved’ specialty”可推知，奶茶店为登山寻找“没人爱”指示牌的游客定制了“没人爱”特色奶茶，说明店主非常精明，把握住了商机。
2．选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One netizen joked that ...and get paid.”可知，对于登山看网红路牌，网友们有不同的理解和想法。
3．选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“While one can reach ...to four hours to complete.”可知，心形步道更费时费力。
4．选A 标题归纳题。通读全文，并结合第一段可知，本文报道了长沙市岳麓山景区一块路牌走红网络，故A项(一块路牌在网上一举成名)适合作本文标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
5．选F 上文提到我们做不到多任务处理；下文提到这是不能多任务处理的解决方案。因此F项(毕竟，我们是人，一天就只能消化那么多)承上启下，符合题意。
6．选C 根据上文的“follow only accounts or people that are really valuable”及下文举例可知，C项(仅挑出那些能滋养我们的内容)承上启下，符合题意。
7．选A 根据后文及下文的例子可知，本段主要讲要设定时间限制。故A项(设定时间限制)适合作本小节的标题。
8．选E 根据空前内容可知，我们永远读不完所有的新闻和所有的“必读”文章，故E项(接受这样的事实吧：我们只能挑出其中的两三个去读)承接上文，符合题意。
9．选G 上文提到我们比声称一周读五本书的人收获多，故G项(事实上，少记一点要比忘得一干二净好得多)承接上文，符合题意。
