21、Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smart phone to see how many “likes” you’ve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.
This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed. In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.
Some of us certainly feel sad when we’re ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, “It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships.” However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre-existing issues than directly cause them.
Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night,were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.
Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don’t want to miss out on a conversation that’s taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual online world and connect with the real world instead.
【1】Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?
A．People checking social media frequently.
B．People surfing the Internet regularly.
C．People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.
D．People longing for more messages.
【2】Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para. 4?

D．To explain the cause of a social media addict.
【3】Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?
A．Because they have more time and money.
B．Because the virtual world is much more attractive.
C．Because they want to attract more attention.
D．Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．It’s common for teenagers to be a social addict.
B．Using smart phones does harm to people’s health.
C．It’s better to stay away from virtual online world.
D．Social media addiction contributes to depression.
22、When Sholapurkar got a call from the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) enquiring whether he could help the organization get in touch with regular donors and motivate them to donate blood, he jumped in.
He started checking out and contacting the members of voluntary donors from the IRCS database. Through his efforts, he convinced scores of people to come to the blood bank in central Delhi and donate their blood. “There is fear in the air due to the coronavirus, and it is not easy to overcome it. It was my task to inspire confidence in blood donors and tell them that it is absolutely safe to donate blood,” Sholapurkar says.
He has been donating blood for more than 40 years now — 163 times to be exact, probably the highest in India. That is almost four times a year; it is also the maximum number of times a person can donate blood in a year. “As I complete 90 days after a donation, I feel my body and mind dragging me toward a blood bank,” Sholapurkar laughs. The IRCS calls people like Sholapurkar “centurion blood donors” —in other words, those who have donated blood more than a hundred times.
According to Sholapurkar, blood donation is not only a healthy practice, it is also one way of showing that you care for others. “Voluntary blood donation is a very personal thing. Nobody can force you to do it; you do it out of love for other human beings.” He says, “It gives you enormous satisfaction when you know that your blood will be used to save someone’s life. That is a very powerful feeling indeed.” Sholapurkar was only 17 when he first donated blood, and he remembered his mother not being very happy about it.” It was in a National Cadet Corps (NCC) camp. My mother was rather angry, but she was okay when It old her how blood donation helps,” he recalls.
Sholapurkar has worked in various corporate organizations over the years. These days, however, he devotes most of his time to spreading the message of the importance of blood donation. “I tell people to get addicted to blood donation, just like l am. It has no side effects, you will remain healthy and it is one addiction you will never feel bad about,” he says.

23、You might have ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are. Or you may have seen that one person who always offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is. These two situations describe how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to others around us. In the same way that we vary in traditional academic competencies, we can vary in how socially competent we are. After years of academic research and development, this social ability is now commonly referred to as “social intelligence.”
Social intelligence is the ability to understand other people, how they work, what motivates them, and how to work cooperatively with them. It is a relationship-based construct that centers on the way we understand others, interact with others, and present ourselves to others. As an example, you would not speak in the same way toward your 70-year-old mother as you would to your 16-year-old daughter. In our working lives, we come across different social groups including those from different countries, varying age groups and cultural identities. Being able to acknowledge and understand people’s different backgrounds is a key way to connect with them.
Our ability to navigate successfully through our lives relies heavily on our levels of social intelligence. It can affect the relationships we form with our partners and children, the friendship circles that we build, and our ability to progress in our careers and ambitions. Given the importance of social intelligence in multiple aspects of life, it is therefore in our best interest to better understand the concept of social intelligence and take the following ways to improve it.
【1】What is the first paragraph intended to show?
A．Academic research varies from person to person.
B．Creative competencies are crucial to one’s research.
C．There are differences in people’s social intelligence.

【2】Why does the author use the example of mother and daughter?
A．To sincerely present a fact.
B．To further clarify a concept.
C．To clearly show an attitude.
D．To finally draw a conclusion.
【3】What do we know from the third paragraph?
A．Our relationship circles should be enlarged.
B．Better understanding a concept is important.
C．It is really difficult to achieve one’s ambition.
D．Social intelligence has great effects on our lives.
【4】What may be talked about following the last paragraph?
A．How to define social intelligence.
B．How to classify social intelligence.
C．How to improve social intelligence.
D．How to deal with social intelligence.
24、 Chinese social media apps have struggled to win over users beyond their home. TikTok is changing that. In the space of just two years, the app has attracted more than half a billion users — around 40% of them outside China --who share short videos of themselves singing, cooking, dancing or just being silly.
Created by the Beijing-based Internet technology company Byte Dance, TikTok has gained an international edge over China's influential social media platforms, such as Tencent's WeChat, Sina Weibo (WB) and Youku of Alibaba (BABA).
What makes Byte Dance better is its right direction and achievement in the social media category, which is largely controlled by Facebook ( FB) , Twitter and Snap 一 all Western companies, said Randy Nelson , head of Mobile Insights at analytics firm Sensor Tower. Social video apps reached new levels of popularity this year. Three of them are in the top 10 most downloaded apps worldwide, according to Sensor Tower. Byte Dance owns two of the three: Vigo Video and TikTok. The other is Instagram, which belongs to Facebook.
Byte Dance calls itself an artificial intelligence company. It uses machine learning and algorithms to figure out what people like and give them more of what they want to see. the company is best known in China for the popular news app Toutiao, which was put into use in 2012. People got hooked on the app' s customized news feeds quickly. Toutiao now has more than 240 million monthly active users that spend on average 74 minutes per day on the platform.
Byte Dance' s success is attracting big investors. It's reportedly in talks with technology kingmaker SoftBank ( SFTBY) about an investment that would value it at around $75 billion, a huge jump from the $ 20 billion valuation it secured last year. That would make Byte Dance one of the world’s most valuable companies alongside Uber.
