阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事，词数80左右。
Social networking dominates our life in so many ways．I am the one who is addicted to it．Sometimes I set deadlines for myself: I will start doing my homework at 8 p.m． and finish it in two hours．At 7:50 p.m．，I'm scrolling through my friends' silly posts and photos．Before I know it，it's 9:30 p.m． and I haven't moved an inch from the sofa．I download song after song，video after video，but I'm
not really paying attention．The stimulation is in chasing after the next song or video rather than truly enjoying it．Since I spend so much time socializing online，I keep delaying things that are important in my real life: homework，tasks，my good friends and so on．Especially，I miss connecting with my family members in a meaningful way．So it is with my sister．
On a family holiday last summer，my sister spent all her time complaining that she needed to charge her phone．It was then that I realized how much social networking had become a part of our daily lives．Even amidst the beauty of nature，we found it difficult to disconnect from the virtual world and engage with our surroundings．My sister and I often laughed about videos we found hilarious，but we hardly ever laughed over our own jokes anymore．We were in the same space yet miles apart，engrossed in our own virtual communities．
Then my father recently declared that every Sunday would be “No Screen Sunday” in our home．_______________________________

Then my father recently declared that every Sunday would be “No Screen Sunday” in our home． This new rule meant we had an entire day to ourselves without any screens，which initially seemed impossible．But as weeks passed by，we found ourselves looking forward to these Sundays．The rich and uninterrupted conversations we had，the board games we played，the meals we cooked and ate together，everything felt so real and warm．No Screen Sundays may not have completely removed our dependency on social media，but it certainly helped us value what was more important in life—spending quality time with our loved ones．
Ⅰ．阅读理解
A
Researchers in Australia，who studied 1，500 people and their lifestyles，have found that having good friends can help you live longer．An American study of 10，000 students，over a period of 35 years，also found that if you make more friends than the average person at school，you'll receive a higher salary in later life．People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully．These are the same skills we use to make friends at school．
课时分层作业(九)
On average，teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site．Adults have 130．So if you believe this research，you might live for a long time and be very rich．
However，according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford，it probably won't make any difference．Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website，each of whom had between 200 and 2，000 friends．He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people．
Among these 150，Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends．You've most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them．Then there are ten more friends．Although they're close to you，you may not keep in touch with them every week．Next, there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest．You aren't close．And finally，there's a large group of 100．You see or speak to these people at least once a year，but you don't know them well．Beyond this number Dunbar says，it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful．
If you have a lot of online “friends”，try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year．Then remove people you can't remember and，finally，take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with．How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research，these are the only people that really matter．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究发现，与有很多朋友相比，有好朋友更重要。同时介绍了得出这项研究发现的过程，以及这项研究发现背后的意义。

A．The number of friends you should have．
B．The advantages of having a lot of friends．
C．Some social skills you may need at work．

3．What does the underlined part “this number” in paragraph 4 refer to

D [词义猜测题。根据第三段的“He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people．”可知，Dunbar发现，人们最多只能和150人交流，超过150这个数字，和其他人的任何关系都没有意义。故画线词“this number”指的是150。故选D。]

B．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends．

D [主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Researchers in Australia，who studied 1，500 people and their lifestyles，have found that having good friends can help you live longer．”可知，本文主要介绍了得出这项发现的研究过程，以及这项研究发现背后的意义。因此，这篇文章主要想表达与有很多朋友相比，有好朋友更重要。故选D。]
B
Lots of animals play．But the behavior is best known in mammals and birds．Now the scientists at London's Queen Mary University report that bumblebees know the same thing．But before this，there were no reports of insects playing．
Dr．Lars Chittka began to wonder if bumblebees played during an earlier test．In that test，Chittka guided bumblebees to move balls into a goal for food．He noticed that some bees were rolling balls even when they weren't given food．He wondered if they were playing．
To test the idea，the scientists at his lab set up a new test．First，they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old．The numbers let them follow bumblebees' behavior．Then，they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees' home to a feeding area．On either side of the open pathway，the researchers placed small colored wooden balls．On one side of the path，the balls couldn't move．On the other side，the balls could roll around．For three hours a day，over 18 days，the scientists opened the pathway between the home and the feeding area．The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food，but they left anyway．They weren't interested in the side where the balls didn't move，but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls．
Catching the balls with their legs，the bees would move their wings to pull on the balls，causing them to roll．The 45 numbered bumblebees did this 910 times during the test．Though some only did it once，others did it a lot．The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it．One bee was recorded rolling balls 44 times in a single day．One was seen rolling balls 117 times over the whole test．
The test raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科研成果——大黄蜂也会玩耍。
5．What did Chittka want to do about bumblebees in the earlier test
A．Discover if they played．
B．Train them to move balls．
C．Make them learn to relax．
D．Find out if they'd share food．
A [细节理解题。根据第二段的“Dr．Lars Chittka began to wonder if bumblebees played during an earlier test．”可知，Chittka想知道在早期的一次实验中大黄蜂是否玩耍。故选A项。]
√
6．What did the scientists do to bumblebees before the new test
A．They named each of them．
B．They let them interested in balls．
C．They had all of them go hungry．
D．They marked them one by one．
D [细节理解题。根据第三段的“First，they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old．The numbers let them follow bumblebees' behavior．”可知，科学家们在实验前给大黄蜂编号是为了做标记来区分这些蜂。故选D项。]
√
7．What can we say about the older bumblebees' behavior in the new test
A．They held their attention for longer．
B．They understood simpler numbers．
C．They were less active in rolling balls．
D．They helped the young pull on balls．
C [细节理解题。根据第四段的“The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it．”可知，在滚球的这个活动中，较大的蜂不如小的蜂活跃。故选C项。]
√
8．What's the best title for the text
A．Bumblebees Are First Insects Known to Play
B．Two Tests Prove Bumblebees Expect to Play
C．Bumblebees Are the World's Smartest Insects
D．Scientists Make Bumblebees Work for Them
√
A [标题归纳题。根据第一段的“Now the scientists at London's Queen Mary University report that bumblebees know the same thing．But before this，there were no reports of insects playing．”以及下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了大黄蜂是第一种被发现会玩耍的昆虫。因此A项“大黄蜂是已知的第一种会玩耍的昆虫”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。]

Ⅰ．阅读理解
A
Researchers in Australia，who studied 1，500 people and their lifestyles，have found that having good friends can help you live longer．An American study of 10，000 students，over a period of 35 years，also found that if you make more friends than the average person at school，you'll receive a higher salary in later life．People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully．These are the same skills we use to make friends at school．
On average，teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site．Adults have 130．So if you believe this research，you might live for a long time and be very rich．
However，according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford，it probably won't make any difference．Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website，each of whom had between 200 and 2，000 friends．He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people．
Among these 150，Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends．You've most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them．Then there are ten more friends．Although they're close to you，you may not keep in touch with them every week．Next, there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest．You aren't close．And finally，there's a large group of 100．You see or speak to these people at least once a year，but you don't know them well．Beyond this_number,_Dunbar says，it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful．
If you have a lot of online “friends”，try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year．Then remove people you can't remember and，finally，take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with．How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research，these are the only people that really matter．
1．What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about
A．The number of friends you should have．
B．The advantages of having a lot of friends．
C．Some social skills you may need at work．
D．Some useful advice on how to make friends．
2．According to the American study，the most popular students at school ________．
A．are likely to spend more money
B．may not be as popular at work
C．seem to get better-paid jobs
D．will work harder in later years
3．What does the underlined part “this number” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．10． B．35． C．100． D．150．
4．What does the text mainly want to show
A．You need to spend more time with your friends．
B．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends．

To test the idea，the scientists at his lab set up a new test．First，they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old．The numbers let them follow bumblebees' behavior．Then，they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees' home to a feeding area．On either side of the open pathway，the researchers placed small colored wooden balls．On one side of the path，the balls couldn't move．On the other side，the balls could roll around．For three hours a day，over 18 days，the scientists opened the pathway between the home and the feeding area．The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food，but they left anyway．They weren't interested in the side where the balls didn't move，but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls．
Catching the balls with their legs，the bees would move their wings to pull on the balls，causing them to roll．The 45 numbered bumblebees did this 910 times during the test．Though some only did it once，others did it a lot．The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it．One bee was recorded rolling balls 44 times in a single day．One was seen rolling balls 117 times over the whole test．
The test raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings．
5．What did Chittka want to do about bumblebees in the earlier test
A．Discover if they played．
B．Train them to move balls．
C．Make them learn to relax．
D．Find out if they'd share food．
6．What did the scientists do to bumblebees before the new test
A．They named each of them．
B．They let them interested in balls．
C．They had all of them go hungry．
D．They marked them one by one．
7．What can we say about the older bumblebees' behavior in the new test
A．They held their attention for longer．
B．They understood simpler numbers．
C．They were less active in rolling balls．
D．They helped the young pull on balls．
8．What's the best title for the text
A．Bumblebees Are First Insects Known to Play
B．Two Tests Prove Bumblebees Expect to Play
C．Bumblebees Are the World's Smartest
Insects
D．Scientists Make Bumblebees Work for
Them

Ⅱ．[参考范文]
Dear David，
I am writing to tell you something about Mount Wuyi National Park．
Mainly located in the northwest of Fujian Province，it covers about 1，280 square kilometers．Besides，it is home to varieties of endangered wildlife．And it is well known for strange peaks，beautiful waters，secluded valleys and other landscapes．
What's more，Mount Wuyi is important to Buddhism，Taoism，and Confucianism．There are Taoist temples，monasteries，and nunneries on the mountain．It was also once a place for scholars to teach and publicize Confucianism．
Yours，
Li Hua
