26、There’re lots of articles in which writers like me leave social media and report on how their lives have transformed. I swore I wouldn’t add to it. But here I am, writing about it. And I’m doing so because it didn’t change my life in quite the way that I expected or many of these essays promised it would.
I genuinely enjoyed Twitter. The problem was that I loved it a little too much. I’d find myself checking it when I should be working, running late to my daughters’ school events because I tried to fit in a quick glance or staying up far too late surfing vast oceans of information, tired and barely interested but unable to resist it.
In November, my friends encouraged me to drop my Twitter habit, at least for a little while. My life was overfull, and this was something I could cut out. I followed, though hesitantly and with a little bit of unwillingness, because I trust my friends and their wisdom.
I went from being on it nearly every day to being off it for two months now. Being offline didn’t make my life that joyful. But there is one way that leaving Twitter has benefited my life and my mind. The times when I checked Twitter were often the transition points in my day: when I waited in line or to pick up my kids from school. Freeing up those seemingly inconsequential moments has been transformative. These moments are nothing I really considered before and I even didn’t notice their departure when I began going online. Leaving them unfilled has changed how I walk through time. I may wave to a neighbor; I may feel gratitude or delight. I may notice that I feel tired or lonely. But this, too, is part of the gifts of these small moments.
Our days, which are so full of work and thinking, of disappointments and confusion, must have moments when nothing much is happening, moments when we get no input, no videos, no opinions.
【1】What do we know about the author?
A．The author’s life was disturbed by the overuse of Twitter.
B．The author followed the friends’ advice without hestitation.
C．The author shared the same idea with other writers about Twitter.
D．The author’s interest in the information online drove him to check Twitter.
【2】What does the underlined word “inconsequential” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Unforgettable.
B．Unimportant.
C．Tough.
D．Boring.
【3】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To persuade readers to block Twitter.
B．To show the influence of social media.
C．To share an unexpected benefit of staying offline.
D．To raise doubts about the promised effects of being offline.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A．Free up Small Moments
B．No Twitter, No Trouble
C．Take a Moment to Reflect
D．Small Changes, Big Differences
27、Todd Bol, a retired businessman, could never have expected that a wooden container he built in his front yard one day would have the global impact it does today.
Bol built a dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse on a post and he put it in his yard as a free community library to remember his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Bol’s prototype gave birth to Little Free Library (LFL), a nonprofit organization that seeks to place small, accessible book exchange boxes in neighborhoods around the world. The concept is simple: Neighbors are invited to share a book, leave a book, or both. Today, there are over 50,000 of these libraries registered in 70 countries.
Almost everyone can register with LFL and start a library as long as the person keeps it in good shape and makes sure that book materials are appropriate for his/her neighborhood. Library owners can create their own library boxes; therefore, the libraries are usually unique in appearance, and there seems to be no limit to the varieties. One library in California was built out of a used wine container; another in Texas had tiny stairs and bright colored walls. Once registered, libraries are assigned a number at LFL’s website. The LFL Index lists the locations of all libraries with GPS coordinates (坐标) and other information. Owners receive a sign saying “Little Free Library”.
People say they have been attracted to pick up a book when walking by a Little Free Library, out of curiosity and because it’s convenient. Some sidewalk librarians say they have met more neighbors since they have a little library in their front yard. Bol is also most proud of the way Little Free Library is bringing communities together. “It’s started a neighborhood exchange. It gets people talking and more comfortable with their neighbors,” he says. “This leads to them helping each other.”
【1】What does the underlined word “prototype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A community center.
B．A dollhouse on a post.
C．A nonprofit organization.
D．A book exchange box.
【2】What can we learn about the operation of Little Free Library?
A．There is no limit to the selection of books.
B．The library needs to hire many professional librarians.
C．The library can come in any shape and color.
D．The owner must first be assigned a number from the LFL website.
【3】What positive influence has Little Free Library brought?
A．It helps improve GPS functions.
B．It helps restore human connections.
C．It makes reading accessible to the poor.
D．It connects libraries around the world.
28、No one’s perfect. Here, Kamran explains why he believes perfection isn’t a realistic goal.
You are chasing a myth. 【1】 So it’s exhausting keeping up with the idea, in your head, of what perfection is. You’ ll be constantly updating your concept of it from one day to the next. This can lead to you being overly self-critical. Instead of feeling happy with what you’ve achieved, you feel dissatisfied.
【2】 A constant reach for perfection can be very distracting from the present moment. When you get to a certain place that you’ve worked towards, instead of noticing it, embracing it and enjoying it, you switch to wanting more. This leads you into a trap of constantly re-evaluating areas of your life. Life can actually be very good in the present moment, like when you’re appreciating friends and family and celebrating the little wins.【3】
【4】 Without realizing, you can end up finding and picking out imperfections in others and becoming an overly critical person who expects too much. You might find people want to distance themselves from you, or you may find challenges arising more frequently in your personal relationships.
Your mental health can suffer. Not only might you feel anxious that you’ re not where you want to be in life, you may feel emotionally low as a result of desiring perfection and constantly critiquing aspects of your life. 【5】 They are mentally, emotionally and physically draining and can leave you feeling burnt out or even depressed.
A．You’ll not abandon it.
B．Perfection doesn’t exist.
C．You might judge others unfairly.
D．You won’t enjoy the small things.
E．This can cause feelings of being defeated.
F．Exercise can help remove the bad feelings.
G．All these can go unnoticed if you’re focused on future-based thinking.
29、My nephew Sam was the only child of the family. His parents proudly showed him off; his aunts and uncles tried to be the first to hold him. But later things changed.
Due to the need of my job, my family lived with Sam’s family for a short time. By this time, my daughter Sophie was almost 3, and was a remarkably intelligent little girl. She could sing children’s songs and recite little poems. Sophie’s aunts and uncles were fascinated by her sweetness. Sam, who was seven, had to tolerate this new little human, but wasn’t quick to give away his high position.
Sophie’s third birthday was about to be celebrated, and the family had gathered presents. We were all busy getting the party ready when we heard the sharp cry from Sophie. Instantly, a half dozen adults moved as one and found Sophie sitting on the ground crying. She might have fallen off the seat of her well-decorated chair. We picked her up, comforted her and dried her tears. Finally, she settled like a queen on the royal throne of the birthday girl.
Nine years later, we went camping. Around the campfire, Sam spoke. He spoke of the agony he had been feeling for almost a decade. With a deep sigh, he shared his secret. During Sophie’s 3-year-old birthday, a fire of jealousy came from the proud and depressive guy when his position had been taken away by Sophie. He had waited for his moment. And then it came as Sophie was going to sit on her birthday chair. How he delighted in hearing the sound of his competitor hitting on the floor and crying. Sam really apologized then; his voice was soft and sincere.
Though Sam was seven, he was old enough to feel jealous of his cousin and played his hoax.
As he grew older, he realized his mistake, and eventually apologized and laid his burden down.

“Jawline,” Reviewed: A Chilling look at the making of a Teen Influencer
Liza Mandelup, the director of “Jawline” a new documentary about the teen- influencer, has said that she filmed for a year before she found her 【1】, Austyn Tester. He curls around his cats, who sometimes slink into the 【2】 as he broadcasts on YouNow, a platform for real-time, chat-based live streaming. “Broadcasting”is what YouNow calls it, and so does Austyn, his voice puffing up to meet the importance of the word--his vocation in life. He’s set up a rig in his small bedroom, where he records himself 【3】 to a small number of viewers, mostly teen-age girls he barely knows. On the Web site’s dash, we can see that he is 【4】 at No 28 under the hashtag guys. The conversations are plain, adorably ordinary. In an early scene in the film, he apologizes for a minor problem in his 【5】. “I know I need to get better Wi-Fi.”
Tester lives in Kingsport, Tennessee, with his mother and his brother. They don’t have money. Tester’s father is absent; when he was around, the family says, he was a(n) 【6】 and was physically abusive. Tester’s brother, Donovan, is 【7】 of his sibling’s dreams, which will make him known around the world. For what? For being famous. For being positive. Social-media 【8】 has been engineered such that the path to fame requires only the 【9】 of fame. “When you become famous, you have a lot of people who look up to you,” Tester says. On YouNow, he is a telegenic preacher, a philosopher of cliched words, delivering himself to his small flock of followers. Both parties are prey to a decentralized economy that has monetized teen-age anxiety, 【10】 and general fragility. In such a tempest, they are making each other feel seen. Remember: storms don’t last forever, Tester promises. “Whatever you’ re going through, it’s not going to last forever.”
