If I ask you “What is the most important thing in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet”.The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today, computers are getting smaller and smaller, but they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People cant live without computers today.”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about 25 years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, send e-mails, do some shopping, play games or make friends.Young men, especially the middle school students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet bars as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They dont know their names, ages and sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they cant put their heart into study. Some of them play the games in the Internet bars all day and all night. Many of them cant catch up with others in many subjects because of that.Now the government has done many things. Some gangster Internet bars(黑网吧)have been banned. But thats not enough.

She kept worrying about her scores on the exam. “I cant stop thinking about my place in the class,” she said. “I feel stressed out.”Hu is not the only one who faces stress. According to a recent survey conducted by Wuhan University of Hubei province, 70 percent of the 2,000 students who are going to take the college and high school entrance exams feel under pressure (压力).Stress is a normal physical response (反应) to things that make people feel worried or break their balance of life in some way.Stress isnt always bad. Sometimes, peoples stress is important during emergency situations, such as when a driver has to stop his car to avoid an accident. Sometimes, stress can help people do their best like while getting ready before a big competition or exam.However, too much or long-term stress gives people a stress overload (负荷过多). People with stress overloads may have problems remembering or concentrating on things. They are quick to get angry or lose patience. They may even have other problems, such as sleeping problems, headaches and often getting colds.The most helpful way to deal with stress overloads is to learn how to manage the stress. For example, you might manage it by getting a good nights sleep, or by exercising every day.Another good way to deal with stress is to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. For many people, stress is so common that it has become a way of life. Dont be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice.

With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, were able to get a quick fix and present the best pictures of ourselves to the world.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, were also changing the way we look at our ourselves. Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell the lines between reality and fantasy. These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty. the article says. In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of celebrities who were famous that time. But for todays young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look, a British doctor Escho told The Independent.Now youve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media, Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparison, they may become beauty sick and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldnt think to ourselves, Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam? Instead, we should think, I feel good, I have my health.（1） What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media? A . Smoothing their skin in the morning.B . Using apps to edit photos.C . Wearing false eyelashes.D . Redding their lips before going out.（2） Where should we put the sentence This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.? A . B . C . D . （3） The fifth paragraph implies (暗示) that _. A . people today focus(关注) more on how good they look than in the pastB . in the past, people thought highly of those who are good at celebratingC . social platforms help people learn about self-worthD . self-worth is related purely on followers people have（4） What did the writer write this passage for? A . To call on people to care more about appearance.B . To call on people not to use apps on mobile phone.C . To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.D . To call on people not to spend too much time on comparison with others.9. （10分） Joyce was born in a poor family. Next Friday would be her mothers birthday.

After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a territory is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter t
