A

It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?

What is oversharing? The term has become associated with social media, but it isn’t exclusive to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have divulged intimate details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage therapist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?

Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative experiences the more we share them. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally seen as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.

However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become – provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoiding whining and being negative online. We should also steer clear of showing off,bragging or flexing, as it’s now known – especially about our love lives. It makes sense – if your date is going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text?

So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your gripes about your lack of money really are too much.

1. According Carolyn Cole, what might people who overshare be trying to do?

A. They might be trying to show off.

B. They might be trying to asking for help.

C.They might be trying to make a connection.

D. They might be trying to record their experiences.

2. According to Dr Hand, which post can help you be more socially attractive?

A. Your troubled friendship.

B. Your complaints about the school.

C. Your expensive sports shoes.

D. Your overcoming of learning difficulties.

3. What does the underlined word probably mean?

A. Posting about your emotional problems online for attention.

B. Caring about others’ emotional problems with sympathy.

C. Showing off your good life experiences on social media.

D. Crying for help by posting about being sad.

4. What is the purpose of this text?

A. To introduce a research.

B. To explain a social phenomenon.

C. To contradict an opinion.

D. To advocate posting properly.

B

One afternoon transformed me!

In a moment, every word I'd ever learned about love was translated into flesh and blood and pulsated with life!

I'd flown across the country to attend a special ceremony at Fort Benning, Georgia, and for the weekend my son and I spent hours and days together in Columbus, a small town there. Being a vegetarian, I'd prepared a list of cafes and restaurants that offered some selection of non-meat options. One cafe whose menu I wanted to try was behind, and many blocks away from the main street , but we eventually found it and entered.

Now I'm blue-eyed Irish-American but my son looks Asian (his father is Japanese). I noticed that, like Columbus itself, the room was filled with civilians and soldiers alike, and there were persons of many races, genders and age. The place was so cheerful.

When we'd finished eating I was waiting for the restroom to have a vacancy; an older Black customer, dressed in a Spring Green suit and hat came headed to the restrooms and I quietly said to her, “Oh, someone is still in there.”

She looked at me with a cheerful, sweet smile and said, “Why! Thank you!”

Then she turned to my son dressed in his military uniform, chatting with him, and suddenly, exuberantly gave him a huge hug, telling him he was such a fine man, that he'd made a smart decision to choose a military career, and that she was thankful for his service!

My son shyly thanked her, nodding, with “Thank you, Ma’am”many times.

But in this sudden short encounter, I was given the gift that I desperately needed...because up until that point I was so constricted with intense worry and supreme loneliness, being the only person there that weekend to support my son, but also being the one person tormented about his choice.

Yet here was a beautiful black mother, a bundle of loving energy, wrapping my son (who looked like his father's family who survived Hiroshima) in her arms and encouraging him.

The compass I use for all life's moments now, is THIS moment in an out-of-the-way cafe where the world’s met and a robust and instantaneous love won over all!

5.Why did the author take trouble to find the cafe?

A.Because the cafe is a quiet place.

B.Because the cafe is a cheerful place.

C.Because the cafe provides good coffee.

D.Because the cafe offers vegetarian options.

6.Why did the older black customer hug the author’s son?

A.Because she was encouraged by the author’s friendliness.

B.Because she thought the author’s son was cute.

C.Because she knew the author’s family then.

D.Because she was in need of encouragement.

7.What is the author’s attitude towards the black woman in the end?

A.Friendly.

B. Supportive.

C. Indifferent.

D. Grateful.

8.What is the best title for the text?

A.Love Redefined.

B. Favour Returned.

C. Confidence Regained.

D. Hope Passed On.

C

Feeling energetic every day can dramatically improve your quality of life. Feeling more energetic every day is a goal you can fulfill by getting exercise regularly. 9 What should be kept in mind to help you benefit more?

Firstly, exercise on a daily basis to feel energetic every day. Even though you may feel too tired to exercise, taking the initiative to get active can actually give you more energy. 10

11 Paired with moderate exercise, music can help with developing calm energy. In-progress studies show that

music can produce calm energy. This could especially be true when music is paired with moderate exercise. You will feel more energized afterward and for longer.

Besides, know your limits. Keep in mind that intense exercise can lead to a more tense energy, which can help you be productive, but associated exhaustion can be more intense.Even moderate exercise can tax your body to the point that you move beyond the calm energy it can produce and into exhaustion. 12

Last but most important, ACTION! The most important reason for any success is to put ideas into practice. 13

A.You just need to do it, not just think.

B.Therefore, don’t push yourself too hard.

C.But how are you supposed to do it effectively?

D. Listening to music while exercising is also one of the recommendations.

E. Listening to music after a workout can help recovery your body quicker.

F. Even moderate exercise such as simply walking around can give you a boost.

G. Even intense exercise will eventually give you more energy than you would have with no exercise.

When I was in the third grade, my teacher told us to write a report on our dream. I poured my whole heart into my report, 34 (drive) by a dream to be an airline pilot. 35 my paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher said that it was a "fairy tale", 36 made me crushed and disappointed.

Too many people said, “Girls can't become pilots; never have, never will.” 37 (final), I gave up.

In my senior year of high school, my English teacher, Ms Dorothy, one day gave the class 38 same task. I thought about the report I 39 (write) before. Pilot? No way. Waitress? That felt safe, so I wrote it down.

Two days later, the teacher handed back the task, saying sincerely, "If you don't go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want!" I felt very 40 (delight) as well as a little scared. I stayed after the class and went up to my teacher. I told her my dream 41 becoming a pilot. "Then do it," she said.

So I did. It took me 10 years of hard work 42 (achieve) my ambition. Now I'm one of the Boeing 737 43 (captain) for the United Airlines. I prove to all that it is not a fairy tale.

Li Ming is a friend of mine. I’m glad he changed greatly in the past two years. I clearly remember he was quite fat two years before. He got tired so easy that he couldn’t take exercise, that made him very upset. Later, he realized unless he went on like that, he would end up achieve nothing. So, he made up his minds to make a change. He went running every morning and played the basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables or less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight. He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overcome it with great determination and strong willpower.

短文改错：

1. 在changed前加has考查谓语动词。根据in the past two years可知，句子用现在完成时态，故在changed前加has。

2. before→ago考查副词。句意：我记得两年前他很胖。句子用一般过去时态，表示两年前用two years ago，故把before改为ago。

3. easy→easily 考查副词。副词修饰动词，故把easy改为easily。

4. that→which考查定语从句。句子作先行词，后面是非限制性定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个句子用which；故that改为which。

5. unless→if考查状语从句。句意：后来，他意识到如果继续像那样。此处是if引导的宾语从句，表“如果”，故unless 改为if。

6. achieve→achieving 考查固定搭配：end up doing sth.以做某事而结束，故把achieve改为achieving。

7. minds→mind 固定词组：make up one’s mind下决心。这里是一个人，故把minds改为mind。

8. 把basketball前的the去掉固定结构：play basketball打篮球。play和球类连用不用冠词，故把play the basketball 中的the去掉。

9. or→and考查连词。句意：更多的蔬菜和较少的的肉。故or改为and。

10. it→them 考查代词。因为前半句的problems是名词复数，所以后面用them替代，故it改为them。
