A
In today’s information age, it’s nearly impossible to avoid using social media. According to USA Today, even American universities are increasingly using social media as a learning tool. Their goal is to teach students how to use social media professionally.
Jade Johnson is taking an upper-level advertising course at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. For the class, he has had to organize and promote a contest via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, channels that are commonly used by advertising firms.
“A lot of times students prefer not to use certain social media, but are forced to because of the class，” says Jade.
Some students may be reluctant to create an account, but Jade says that it was helpful because social media skills mean better job opportunities in today’s world.
More college classes are appearing that are designed specially to teach students about social media, offering them a different look into something they may use on a daily basis.
Jenna Kapsis, a senior at William Paterson University, was required to post two Tweets on Twitter and one update on Facebook per week in her Digital and Social Media Communication class. The course had a specific Facebook page where students would create discussion groups and post links.
“Some of the topics included social media manners, online marketing and current events，” Kapsis says.
As technology continues to develop, colleges and universities will likely continue to find ways to combine it into their teaching. Whether it’s to create discussion groups, carry out plans, or communicate with students, professors are ensuring that students can see the potential of mastering social media platforms.

I’ve just got to talk about this problem I’m having with my postman. It all began a year ago, after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude, I asked him about the baby. The next week, not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before, I asked all about the baby again. Now I can’t break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words “How’s the baby？” come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why can’t I stop it? The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.
My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: “All he ever does is complaint; he talks at me rather than to me, never listens to a word I say, and yet for some reason I’m always really nice to him. I’m worried in case I have a difficulty one day, and he won’t lift a finger to help.”
What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff, treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning.” To explain the point, Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who, after making one of his managers fired, said with moist (湿润的) eyes that he was so, so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied: “If you were that sorry, I wouldn’t be leaving.” The lesson being, therefore, that if you try too hard to be liked, people won’t like you.
The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good，” says Zelda West-Meads, a marriage guidance consultant, “they develop low self-confidence and become compulsive_givers.” But is there anything wrong in being a giver, the world not being exactly short of takers? Anne Cousins believes there is. “There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy，” she says. “It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it.”
I am now trying hard to say to people “I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but ...” and tell myself “Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person” and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.

Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.
At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People’s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face, but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.
语篇解读：人们在参加聚会、开车的时候，也在用智能手机发短信，这极大地影响了人与人之间的交流，甚至导致事故的发生。
9．The purpose of this text is to ________.
A．call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B．appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
C．express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D．advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
解析：选C　主旨大意题。全文通过描述人们在社交或开车的时候埋头玩智能手机的现象，指出了这一现象背后值得思考的话题：智能手机的过度使用已影响到了人们的日常生活和交流。作者对此表示担忧，因此选C。
10．The second paragraph is developed by ________.
A．giving examples　 　B．listing figures
C．comparing facts D．analyzing the effects
解析：选A　写作手法题。第二段介绍了人们使用智能手机的情况，比如聚会上、开车时，并提到了开车时使用智能手机发短信的青少年的比例，因此该段是通过举例子来阐述其观点的。
11．The author advocates us to make new friends ________.
A．by using smartphones
B．in a face-to-face way
C．in different ways
D．under a free circumstance
解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句“In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.”可知，作者提倡面对面交朋友，而不是通过智能手机，因此选B。
12．Over-dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ________.
A．parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B．people are more and more narrow-minded
C．people’s communication skills are weakened
D．face-to-face communication becomes less important
解析：选C　细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.”可知，对智能手机过于依赖会削弱交流的价值，因此选C。
D
Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy (有泡沫的) drinks kills pests.
Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals — although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground，” he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests，” he says.
Statements from Pepsi and Coca Cola said there was “no scientific basis” for this_practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases (each containing a dozen one litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases，” he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues (残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers，” he said.
In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一件有趣的事，印度农民认为有泡沫的饮料具有杀虫作用，也就是百事可乐和可口可乐里面含有杀虫剂，但两家公司均对此予以否认。
13．The underlined part “this practice” in Para. 3 probably refers to “________”．
A．testing the mixture
B．selling more drinks in India
C．mixing the drinks with the pesticide
D．attracting ants to eat the young pests
解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests”可知this practice所叙述的是这件事，第三段正是因为这件事，才带来了该地区经销商的销量大增。故选C。
14．The drink makers would not accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because they ________.
A．thought it went against science
B．believed that the farmers didn’t tell the truth
C．might fear that it could bring harm to their business
D．insisted that no poison was left in their products
解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.”推断他们担心这件事会给他们的生意带来危害。故选C。
15．The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.
A．tell an interesting incident
B．warn people that some drinks might be dangerous to health
C．suggest using Coca Cola to kill pests
D．announce a new discovery of Coca Cola
解析：选A　写作目的题。通读全文，并根据作者写这段短文的语气推断作者在讲述一件有趣的小事，可乐中竟然有杀虫剂。故选A。

A survey basing on 1,000 students found that 80% of senior students sleep less than nine hours every night. One main reason lies at students’ bad habits. Too much homework is given by school teachers is another main cause. Some students are absent-minded while doing their homework, and some wasting their after-class time. The third cause is that some students have to get up earlier on weekday to get to school that was far away from home. Experts think an amount of homework for the students should be cut down. Beside, teachers should encourage their students make good use of their spare time. Only in this way can the students improve our study efficiency.

第二句：at→in
