With the rapid development of the Internet, more and more teenagers make friends online nowadays. Some people say it's good to do that, while others think it's 36 (harm) especially to school pupils.
Some consider that making friends online is a modern way to share friendship 37 others. They can express their thoughts 38 (free) to improve social skills and fluency in English. On the contrary, some strongly believe it is 39 waste of time to make friends through online communication and what's worse, those so-called "friends" are likely to cheat you after 40 (gain) your trust.
In my opinion, 41 the Internet is good or not depends on how we use it. If it 42 (use) properly, we can communicate with people 43 come from every corner of the world, and share life experiences. Of course, however, since the Internet was born, many bad men 44 (make) use of it to do something bad. So we must learn to determine true or false and avoid being hurt.
In conclusion, every coin has two 45 (side). So does the Internet. If used in a proper way, the Internet has more advantages in seeking friendship.

In the near future, daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. Electronic media can provide the same information faster and cheaper. The Internet, together with laptops and mobile phones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.
You'll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like turning on TV. An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story A simple touch makes the whole text appear.
There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. Imagined as part of home media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news, offering information and analyzing video images of news events.
The continuing loss of readers will lead to a small number of advertisements in newspapers. It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.
With the development of technology, more and more electronic media have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism (新闻业) may be much stronger. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be not until the present journalists (新闻工作者), who aren't used to it, die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.
1. Computer newspapers and magazines have all the advantages EXCEPT that ____.
A. you can choose the kind of voice you like to hear
B. they are more expensive than traditional newspapers
C. you can get more information from them easily

In the past decade,the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed.It has turned some teenagers into celebrities and turned the famous into the infamous,overnight.
A key feature of social media,however,is its volatility.Trends come and go,disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared.So,what were the key social media trends of 2018
Short video apps such as Tik Tok and its Chinese equivalent(等同物) Douyin,took the world by storm.The Telegraph reported that Tik Tok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App store in April.And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June at home,CNBC said.
Why are these short videos—which are rarely longer than a few minutes—so popular Jiang Yige,Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management,has a theory.“Short videos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules,” he told CNBC.
These videos—apart from being very convenient—are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves,according to Teen Vogue.
Liza Koshy,a user of the US app Musical.ly who has over 2 million followers,said,“The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.”
Live streaming(直播) is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise.It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone,anywhere,live.However,China has taken live streaming to a whole new level.In China,more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video.Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams.Among them is viewers’ ability to interact with unknown names.
However,the quick development of social media may be having side effects too.Fake news is one serious problem it causes.Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy.The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another.We use social media all the time; that doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us.We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds.
1.The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “being ”.
A.changeable B.steady
C.promising D.violent
2.According to Liza Koshy,short videos are very popular because .
A.they are very convenient
B.they help people kill time
C.they provide a sense of community
D.they allow people to express themselves
3.What do we know about social media
A.The information from social media is totally reliable.
B.When it comes to social media,people only know short videos.
C.People can’t communicate with each other without social media.
D.There is still much room for social media to make improvement.

A.Objective. B.Subjective.
C.Favorable. D.Disapproving.

III.七选五
Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways,from clothing to posture,and from talking style to body language.Below are several tips for you to begin with.
●Physical appearance matters.We’re visual creatures after all.Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are. 1 It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly.If it is a business setting,be aware of the dress rule or culture. 2 A thumbs-up here does not mean the same elsewhere.So do the research! Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.
● 3 A fake (假的) smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression.It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile. 4 Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.
●Look into people’s eyes until you see the colors of their irises (虹膜).Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with.Consequently,they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction. 5 Well,try to identify the color of the others’ irises.Get it That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impression we want to leave Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!
A.What makes a quality eye contact
B.How does eye contact affect interaction
C.The requirement varies from culture to culture.
D.Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry!
E.Don’t fake a smile,or people will doubt your sincerity.
F.Always smile while interacting with others,especially with a new friend.
G.Besides,it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings.

Several online safety cases happened these days, which made me want to blog about the problem. Since I have been an Internet administrator in a company for many years, I indeed know more about online safety than others.
First of all, protect your privacy. Don’t post your personal information online, which includes your name, age, address and you phone number. Some ill people may use that information to steal your identity. Second，don’t trust any words online easily. Don’t take it for granted that the person whom you are chatting with online is an honest one, and never agree to meet the person alone. Third, don’t forget to be polite. You’d better to behave yourself as usual.
Do you agree with me and you are welcome to make comments here.
