Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found.
Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated(夸大) or distorted(扭曲) what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and polished an exotic(异国的) holiday or their job.
The most common reasons for women to write “fibs” included worrying their lives would seem “boring”, envy at seeing other people’s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.
Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to “stay connected” on social media, they can in fact “paradoxically(自相矛盾地)” be left “more isolated”. They also said that “the more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel”.
According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to “dishonesty” on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage.
Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week.
Nearly 30 percent of women lied about “doing something when I am home alone”, almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their “relationship status”.
“We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and eventually unfulfilling,” said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist.
“Leaving out the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our `friends` online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized with(与…产生共鸣), resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others.”
The survey was conducted by Pencourage, a new anonymous (匿名的)“diary-style” social media website.
1. Which of the words below is closest in meaning to the underlined word “fibs” in Para 3?

2. A woman tends to tell a lie online when she__________.
A. hopes to make more friends

3. A woman might pretend to be happier online than she actually is by __________.
A. avoiding conversations with friends
B. describing her holiday activities
C. leaving out the imperfections in life
D. overstating her trouble at work
4. According to Dr Michael Sinclair, constantly lying online may __________.
A. eventually make one’s life more exciting
B. actually lead to a sense of isolation
C. really improve one’s sense of happiness

“I can’t concentrate.” “My mind wanders when I try to study.” Lack of concentration is one of the most common complaints heard at school.
We all have the ability to concentrate. Think of the times when you were attracted to a super novel or the times when you were playing your guitar or piano. But at other times your mind races from one thing to another. Here are some tips.
Rest from time to time. Remember to take short breaks. Lectures are usually 50 minutes long, and that’s about the length of time most people can direct their attention to one task. But that’s just an average. Your concentration time might be shorter (20-35 minutes) or longer (perhaps 90 minutes).When you take a break, you get more oxygen to your brain! When we sit for long periods, blood tends to be pooled in our lower body and legs. Get up and walk around the room for a couple of minutes. As a result, more oxygen is carried to the brain and you can concentrate better.
_______________If you study one subject for a long time, you may find it hard to concentrate. Many students improve their concentration by changing one subject to another every one to two hours. In this way you can pay more attention to something that’s different.
Reward yourself. Give yourself a reward when you’ve completed a task. The task might be small, such as staying with a difficult paper until you’ve finished. But giving yourself a reward can help you be more interested in doing other tasks.
Increase your activity level. Your concentration wanders more easily if you just read an article straight through. Instead, take the heading for each part and turn it into a question. For this part, that would be, “How can I increase my activity level while studying?” Then study that part to answer that question. Do this routinely. The questions give us a focus for each part and increase our involvement(参与).
1.According to Paragraph 3, what’s the purpose of walking around?
A. To help us stay fit.
B. To benefit our lower body.
C. To provide the brain with more oxygen.
D. To increase our concentration time to 90 minutes.
2.What’s the best title for Paragraph 4?
A. Study for one hour each time.
B
. Do something difficult.
C. Study in different ways.
D. Change subjects.
3.In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that______.
A. we just read the heading of some articles
B. we do our best to read an article straight through
C. we ask ourselves questions about what we are reading
D. we ask other people questions about the article we are reading
4.The writer wrote the passage to______.
A. encourage us to try to concentrate
B. teach us how to concentrate while studying
C. give us the reasons for a lack of concentration
D. list the benefits we can get from concentration

Most people are aware of what the adoption process is because it has become rather common in our society. Adoption is where a child is legally placed with guardians (监护人) or parents (or perhaps a single parent) other than the birth mother or father. Once an adoption is finalized, all parental rights are turned over to the adoptive parents and there is no legal difference between adoptive parents and natural birth parents. There are generally two types of adoption, which are closed adoption and open adoption.
When an adopted person has access to his or her adoption file and original records, it is referred to as an open adoption. The term is also used to describe any contact that may be between the adoptive family, the birth parents, and the adopted child. The level of openness can change greatly in such contact depending on each individual relationship. There can be indirect contact between the natural birth parents and the child through the form of letters and photographs, or there can be actual physical contact.
A semi-open adoption is where the birth parents may have contact with the adoptive parents before the birth of the child, either once or several times. After the birth there is no more contact. A semi-open adoption may remain as it is or it can become either open or closed.
A closed adoption is where only the medical and historical information about the biological parents is given to the adoptive family. Typically, the birth and adoptive parents do not know each other’s identities. The record of the birth parents is kept sealed (密封). A closed adoption is usually only effective in the adoption of babies. The adoption of an older child who already knows his or her birth parents cannot be kept closed.
1.How many adoption types are mentioned in the passage?
A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the closed adoption?
A. The birth parents may have indirect contact with the adoptive parents.
B. The biological parents may often go to see their birth child.
C. No information about the biological parents is given to the adoptive parents.
D. Generally speaking, the adoptive parents do not know the birth parents’ identities.
3.Suppose someone adopts a child and his biological parents often get contact with the child by telephone. We can call this adoption _____.
A. a closed adoptionB. an open adoption
C. a semi-open adoptionD. a semi-closed adoption
4.From the passage, we know adoption is _____.
A. where a child is brought up by the government
B. where a child is legally sent abroad by the birth parents
C. where a child is legally placed with adoptive parents
D. where a child is sent to live with the children whose parents have died
