24、   I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join in my next project—30 minutes of exercise and healthy eating. Promise to help you “LOSE WEIGHT!”

It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me.

But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it got. His question was a wake-up call.

“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.

I tried to remember what life was like before Facebook. Surfing the internet was an occasional (偶尔的) activity, and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.

To recreate the simplicity (简单) of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account.

I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered playing the piano. I started taking yoga classes.

I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present at the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.

After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how Facebook allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I have a look at it every day, but no longer with the need to post ideas and photos from time to time.

It is not an addiction (瘾) any more.

【1】The writer closed her Facebook because _________.

A．she wanted to set her son a good example

B．she had received a harmful message on it

C．she wanted to create a kind of simple Facebook

D．she posted photos on it but didn’t receive many “likes”

【2】What can we know about the writer?

A．She isn't interested in reading.

B．She doesn't use Facebook now.

C．Playing the piano is new to her.

D．She lived a simple life before Facebook.

【3】The writer has learned a lot from her experience except _________.

A．we should eat healthily and do more exercise

B．we ourselves should control our lives, not Facebook

C．we should use Facebook correctly to make good use of it

D．we shouldn't care too much about what other people think of us

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Future of Facebook

B．History of Facebook

C．Lessons from Facebook

25、   ● A good heart

26、Tibet is in the southwest of China and covers more than 1.2 million square kilometres of land. It equals to one-eighth of China’s total land area. Tibet is home to many natural wonders such as valleys, mountains, lakes and even deserts. Tibet’s vast landscape makes it perfect for travelling and setting for one of life’s most memorable cycling journeys. This wonderful and challenging bike tour starts from Tibet’s capital, Lhasa. Because Lhasa is 3,650metres above the sea level, it is important to spend a few days getting used to the thin air at this height. If you do not get prepared, it can hurt your head and make some people sick. Once you have visited the famous Potala Palace and packed lots of water and food for the trip, you will be ready to start cycling. The tour leaders will help you to get your bike and anything else you may need to camping so that you are completely prepared for your trip. The cycling route will take you past rivers, giant open grasslands and high mountains, including the world-famous Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰). The trip ends as the road drops 4,000 metres into the neighbouring country of Nepal.

The trip is not for the weak. Even those with a very high fitness level will struggle with many of the mountainous climbs. However, those who take up the challenge will have a great sense of achievement and will have seen some of the most beautiful views and sunrises in the world. When people have completed this difficult journey, they often have hundreds of amazing photos of the wonderful places they have seen.

27、What is the hardest sport in the world? Some people say it’s boxing (拳击), because boxing is dangerous and boxers have to be strong and fast. Other people say the hardest sport is soccer.

However, most people say the hardest sport is the triathlon (三项全能运动). A triathlon is a race that includes three sports. First, racers swim. After that they ride bicycles and finally they run. In the most common triathlon, racers swim 1.5 kilometers, bike 40 kilometers, and run 10 kilometers. The winner is the person who finishes the race first. There is another kind of triathlon, too. It is called the “Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项)”. This triathlon is much longer. People who finish this triathlon are called “ironmen” and “ironwomen”. This is because these people are so strong that their bodies are just like iron (铁).

In the past few years, there have been other races including three sports. However, they didn’t use the word “triathlon”. That word was first used to describe a race in California in 1974.

Triathlon racers have to train very hard for their races. Many of them swim and run. A lot of people also do things like yoga(瑜伽). They have many different ways to prepare, but they all have the same goal. They want to be in perfect shape.

To be an ironman or an ironwoman, you have to be strong and smart. You should know how to save energy during the race.

28、   “What’s the matter, Mum?”

“She’s dying,” Mum said  【3】   (sad). I knew what she said. The tulip ( 郁 金 香 ), my mother’s favorite, was dying.

A month ago, we moved into our new house and Mum 【4】 (buy) a very beautiful tulip in a flower shop. Mum liked it very much. Whenever she was free, she would sit in her armchair beside the tulip and enjoy 【5】 (it) beautiful color and nice smell.

She regarded the tulip as a baby and looked after it carefully. She put the tulip by the window and moved it from one place to another 【6】   (give) enough sunshine to it. The first thing she did 【7】 she got up every morning was to water the tulip. Mum also fertilized it many times.

She  hoped  that   【8】great  care,  the  tulip  would  become  more  and  more beautiful.  【9】   the tulip was dying because of too much sunshine, water and fertilizer.

It’s true that mother loved the tulip. But this kind of love must be  【10】 (harm). Too much love can sometimes kill what you love.

29、It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My ______ little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was making a paper plane, while Sam was _______ on a painting.

But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was lost in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to  ________ the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (叹息) of  satisfaction.

“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a ________ .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.

Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.

It wasn’t until later that evening that I ________ a “mailbox” beside the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t  _______ Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低声说), “________he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it _______ my heart.
