26、University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.
The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. "We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life." Hunt said.
The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.
The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness. "Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness," Hunt said.
Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison." "When you're online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out," Hunt said. And that's just generally discouraging. "Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate." And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self﹣esteem and self﹣worth, Hunt added.
"People are on their devices, and that's not going to change," she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.
【1】Before the study was conducted, the participants completed a survey to .
A.imitate people's real life
B.link loneliness to depression
C.show their use of social media
D.prove social media is important
【2】The results of the study showed using less social media would result in .
A.people's fear of missing out
B.higher levels of depression
C.obvious relief in loneliness
D.lower levels of happiness
【3】In Hunt's opinion, which activity benefits more to mental health?
A.Hiking out with friends.
B.Making comparison with others.
C.Playing computer games in spare time.
D.Logging onto social media and having fun.
【4】Which can be the best title of the passage?
A.A Study on Social Media.
B.How to Improve Mental Health.
C.People Addicted to Social Media.
D.Social Media Influences Mental Health.
27、 While there are not any magic shortcuts to learning words, the larger your vocabulary becomes, the easier it will be to connect a new word with words you already know, and thus remember its meaning. 【1】There are four basic steps to building your vocabulary.
Be aware of words. When meeting new words, instead of avoiding them, you will need to take a closer look at them.【2】 Second, make a daily practice of noting words of interest to you for further study whenever you are reading, listening to the radio, or watching TV.
Read. When you have become more aware of the words, reading is the next important step to increasing your knowledge of words.【3】 When you come across a word you have recently studied, you understand it, which proves you have learned its meaning. What should you read?【4】 If you like sports, read the sports page of the newspapers or magazines.
Use a dictionary.【5】Remember, words can have more than one meaning, and the meaning you need for the word you are looking up may not be the first one given in the dictionary. Even if it is, the other meanings of the word will help you understand the different ways the word is used.
Study and review regularly. Once you have begun looking up words and you know which ones to study, vocabulary building is simply a matter of reviewing the words regularly until you fix them in your memory.
A.First, try to guess at a word’s meaning from its context.
B.This will give you a quick form of review.
C.Read the entire entry for the word you look up.
D.It is also the best way to check words you have already learned.
E.Reading alone may not be enough to make you learn new words.
F.Whatever interests you.
G.So your learning speed should increase as your vocabulary grows.
28、Monday dawned warm and rainless. Aurelio Escovar, a dentist without a degree, opened his office at six. When he had a handful of is instruments arranged on the table, he sat down to polish the false teeth. He seemed not to be thinking about what he was doing, but worked steadily.
The sharp voice of his eleven-year-old son interrupted his concentration.
“Papa.”
“What?
“The Mayor wants to know if you'll pull his tooth.”
“ Tell him I'm not here.”
He was polishing a gold tooth. He held it at arm's length, and examined it with his eyes half closed. His son shouted again from the little waiting room.
“He says you are, too, because he can hear you.”
The dentist kept examining the tooth. Only when he had put it on the table with the finished work did he say, “So much the better.” He took several pieces of a bridge out of a cardboard box where he kept the things he still had to do and began to polish the gold.
“Papa.”
“What? He still hadn't changed his expression.
“He says if you don't take out his tooth, he'll shoot you.”
Without hurrying, with an extremely calm movement, he stopped his work and pulled the lower drawer of the table all the way out. There was a revolver (左轮手枪). “OK,” he said. “Tell him to come and shoot me.” He rolled the chair over opposite the door, his hand resting on the edge of the drawer.
The Mayor appeared at the door. He had shaved the left side of his face, but the other side, swollen and in pain, had a five-day-old beard.
The dentist saw many nights of desperation in his dull eyes. He closed the drawer with his fingertips and said softy, “'Sit down.”
“Good morning,” said the Mayor.
“Morning,” said the dentist.
While the instruments were boiling, the Mayor leaned his head on the headrest of the chair and felt better. His breath was icy. When he felt the dentist approach, the Mayor held his breath and opened his mouth.
Aurelio Escovar turned his bead toward the light. After inspecting the infected tooth, he closed the Mayor's jaw with a cautious pressure of his fingers. “It has to be without anesthesia (麻醉),” he said.
“Why?”
“Because you have an abscess (脓肿).”
The Mayor looked him in the eye. “All right,” he said, and tried to smile.
The dentist did not return the smile. He did all the preparation work without looking at the Mayor.
It was a lower wisdom tooth. The dentist spread his feet and grasped the tooth with the hot forceps (钳子). The Mayor seized the arms of the chair with all his strength. The dentist moved only his wrist. Without rancor (怨恨) rather with a bitter tenderness he said, “Now you'll pay for our twenty dead men.”
The Mayor felt the great pain in his jaw, and his eyes filled with tears. But he didn't breathe until he felt the tooth come out. Then he saw it through his tears. It seemed so foreign to his pain that he filed to understand his torture of the five previous nights.
The dentist gave him a clean cloth. “Dry your tears,” he said.
The Mayor did. He was trembling. While the dentist washed his hands, he saw the shabby ceiling and a dusty spider web with spider's eggs and dead insects.
The dentist returned, drying his hands. “Go to bed,” he said, “and gargle (漱口) with salt water.”
The Mayor stood up, said goodbye with a casual military solute, and walked toward the door, stretching his legs.
“Send the bill, he said.
“To you or the town?”
The Mayor didn't look at him. He closed the door.
【1】Why did the dentist say he was not there (Para 6) when the Mayor wanted to have his tooth pulled?

29、 Astronauts traveling in space meet forms of radiation that are uncommon on Earth. Some of this radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health. It is linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet a new American study suggests the radiation does not shorten astronauts' lives.
Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data about male astronauts from the United States. They then compared this data with information about a group of men who are in good health, richer than most Americans and receive good health care-professional athletes. The study found that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age. In fact, both groups generally live longer than other Americans.
Astronauts are usually well-educated, earn more money and are in better physical condition than the average American. Some earlier research has linked being an astronaut to a lower risk of early death, the researchers noted. The findings were reported in the publication Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
Much of the existing research on mortality rates in astronauts has not yet explored the mental and physical demands of this job. There also has not been a lot of research on whether astronauts show what is known as the "healthy worker effect". This effect leads people with employment of any kind to have fewer medical problems than people who are unable to work, said Robert Reynolds.
Reynolds said, "The challenge has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be had they been otherwise comparably employed but had never gone to space at all. To do this, we need to find a group that is comparable on several important factors."
【1】How did researchers carry out their study?
A.By doing interviews. B.By analyzing some factors.
C.By comparing different data. D.By doing experiments in the lab.
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A.All radiation is harmful to human health.
B.Athletes tend to be poorer than most Americans.
C.Healthy worker effect makes working people healthier.
D.Research has explored the mental and physical demands of being astronauts.
【3】What can he inferred from Reynolds' words?
A.They are determined to face the challenge.
B.The research is almost impossible to conduct.
C.Several important factors hold back the research.
D.Astronauts are as healthy even they haven't been Astronaut.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Astronauts----Healthy or Otherwise
B.Astronauts Are as Healthy as Athletes
C.Radiation Affects Astronauts' Health
D.Astronauts---- Well-Educated and Earn More
