Don’t panic! 【1】 You’re in a “virtual（虚拟的）classroom”. Everything you see and hear is coming to you through a computer-operated display that you’re wearing on your head like a pair of very big glasses. Wearing this kind of virtual-reality equipment, you can find yourself sitting in a classroom, touring a famous museum, wandering across a strange landscape, flying into space, or playing with a cartoon character. 【2】 Virtual-reality equipment that delivers images and sounds directly to your eyes and ears makes these fake worlds seem lifelike.
Unlike the classroom, the technology is real. It’s a type of technology that uses computer programs to imitate real world situation. 【3】 Movie directors and video game producers have been using computers for years to create ever more realistic special effects. Some companies are now building three-dimensional（三维）fantasy worlds in which players, linked by computer networks, appear to meet and go on explorations together.
【4】 They see virtual reality technology as a useful tool for learning more about why people act as they do. It could help psychologists deter identify and come up with solutions for behaviors problems, for example.
“We’ve spent the last 100 years looking for certain laws in how people interact with the real world,” says psychologist Albert. “【5】 This is psychologist’s dream.”

22、A new book called “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” by Amy Chua has caused a debate (争论) about cultural differences in parenting. Amy Chua is a teacher in an American university and both of her parents are Chinese. In the book, Ms. Chua writes about how she taught her daughters. She told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters were not allowed to do, such as having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A.
Many people are against Amy Chua’s parenting style (风格), even her husband, who is American. They say it is rude and unfair to children. But she says her parents raised her and her three sisters in that way.
Ms. Chua says after her younger daughter shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” she decided to retreat because she was afraid of losing her daughter. But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities.
“The debate is about what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child,” said Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting. She says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. It is a traditional way of parenting among immigrants (移民). They hope to get a better future for their children.
She also sees a risk (风险). When children have no time to be social or to develop their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.
【1】Which of the following words can best describe Amy Chua?
A. Polite. B. Cruel. C. Strict. D. Popular.
【2】The underlined word “retreat” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. give up B. go on C. go out D. give out
【3】According to Ms. DeBroff, _____.
A. Amy Chua’s parenting style should be forbidden
B. Americans should learn from Amy Chua
C. parents should have their own parenting style
D. Amy Chua’s style is bad for children’s growth
【4】In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage?
A. Business. B. Entertainment. C. Sports. D. Culture.

24、Since the beginning of social-comparison theory in the early 1950s, psychologists and sociologists have piled up evidence that human beings form opinions of themselves — their looks, gifts, intelligence, and achievement — based in large part on the qualities they see in the people with whom they identify and associate. When those comparisons lead to inaccurate self-representations or evaluations, this distortion is sometimes referred to as the "frog-pond effect."
The phrase stems from a 1966 paper that found college students at elite universities who had low GPAs tended to view their own academic abilities less favorably than students at lower-tier colleges who had good GPAs. “It is better to be a big frog in a small pond than a small frog in a big pond," the author of that paper wrote.
The "frog-pond effect" continues to show up in research today.
“We use the term 'frog-pond effect' as shorthand for this tendency of people with a high rank in a low-rank group to evaluate themselves more favorably than people with a low rank in a high-rank group,” says Ethan Zell, PhD, author of the PLOS One study and an associate professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
“These effects are magnified when we're comparing ourselves to people we view as peers.”
In other words, we look at other people as a frame of reference when we are evaluating ourselves. While "upward" social comparisons can make us feel less attractive, less capable, or otherwise inferior, "downward" social comparisons tend to have just the opposite effect. "These effects are magnified when we're comparing ourselves to people we view as peers, or those in a similar situation to ourselves," Zell explains.
Research has found that all of us engage in social comparisons — consciously or unconsciously — dozens and perhaps hundreds of times each day. To one extent or another, these comparisons influence every aspect of our well-being and behavior, from our confidence and self-regard, to our willingness to take risks, to the likelihood that we'll develop anxiety or depression.
Upward social comparison is not inherently harmful."It can inspire us to take better care of ourselves, or to be ambitious in positive ways," Zell says. But like anything else, too much of it can cause problems.
"Social media and technology have really expanded the reach of comparisons," Zell says. Many of us can't help but feel inferior when we're exposed to image after image or post after post of people who seem cooler, more interesting, funnier, prettier, or more stylish than we are.
Before social media, most of our comparisons were based on face-to-face interactions with friends, schoolmates, co-workers, and those who occupied our real-world social spheres. We saw the good and the bad — the features and the flaws — in something closer to equal measure. And this helped properly calibrate our self-assessments.
All of this suggests that limiting your exposure to online sources of upward social comparison may pay all sorts of dividends. In the infinitely large pond that is the internet, almost all of us are going to end up feeling like small frogs.
【1】Which one below reflects the frog-pond effect?
A．Frogs in large ponds are unwilling to compare themselves with others.
B．People with a low-rank in a high-rank group feel more attractive than people with a high-rank in a low-rank group.
C．People may feel depressed when compared with those with a superior rank.
D．Students with low academic grades in key universities have less faith in themselves in comparison with those with good achievements in inferior colleges.
【2】What is the main idea of paragraph 7 and 8?
A．Social comparisons cause harmful effects.
B．Upward social comparisons make people ambitious.
C．Despite harmful effects , moderate social comparisons benefit people.
D．People are always inspired in positive ways by social comparisons.
【3】What contributes to proper self-assessment according to the article?
A．judging everyone equally in real interaction with others
B．making comparisons based on face-to-face interaction
C．identifying the benefits from social media
D．expanding the reach of comparisons
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The "frog-pond effect" and its influence
B．The “frog-pond effect” influence self-assessment
C．How to evaluate yourself properly using the “frog-pond effect”
D．How to manage social comparisons
