It seems some people have something bad to say about Facebook, the social media website that now has attracted more than 300 million members. To them I have only this to say: Stop please!
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal blamed Facebook’s ability to ruin friendships, saying that it limits communication to typing and encourages people to spend far too much time with friends they have never met.
Having used Facebook since its first year, I find these arguments false. The simple truth is that the problems are only a symptom of Facebook abuse. Like many things, it is only as harmful to your life and relationships as you allow it to be. Consider arguments against watching too much TV and overeating.
Try using Facebook to find friends who may have long ago changed their e-mail addresses and phone numbers, to find out what your old college friends are up to, to congratulate your friends on their latest birthdays, to share pictures and articles you find interesting, and to join in the discussion about them with your friends.
Sure, I had days when I wasted a little more time on Facebook than I should, but I’m not going to blame Facebook for my own laziness. If Facebook wasn’t there, I would have found something else to waste time on. To my “friends”: if you don’t feel like broadcasting your life stories on your Facebook, don’t. If you tire of my personal updates, ignore them. If you don’t want to join in the popular online games, don’t. It is a fun tool at your fingers that can be used for both good and bad. If you don’t like using Facebook, don’t.
I am now a consultant at the Department of State. I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, family, and colleagues who live and work all over the world.
【小题1】Why did the article in the Wall Street Journal blame Facebook?
| A.Because it makes people spend too much time online. |
| B.Because it can make people lose their real-life friends. |
| C.Because it is as harmful to people’s lives as watching TV. |
| D.Because it encourages people to make friends with strangers. |
| A.To find out lost e-mail addresses and phone numbers. |
| B.To arrange appointments with our old college friends. |
| C.To collect interesting pictures and articles from our friends. |
| D.To keep in touch with friends who we haven’t called for long. |
| A.read other’s personal updates |
| B.write our life stories online secretly |
| C.decide who can read our life stories |
| D.refuse to join in popular online games |
| A.prove that Facebook can be well used |
| B.gain support from the Department of State |
| C.show that Facebook is used all around the world |

I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”
AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cold. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
1.Which of the following statements about Kerrel’s father is true?
A.He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.
B.He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C.He told no one about his disease.
D.He worked hard to pay for his medication.
2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A.Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher.
B.Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
C.Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
D.Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.
3.Why did Kerrel keep her father's disease a secret?
A.She was afraid of being looked down upon.
B.She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
C.She found no one willing to listen to her.
D.She wanted to obey her mother.
4.The purpose of the passage is ________.
A.To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
B.To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C.To remember her father.
D.To draw people's attention to AIDS.

Ever tried taking smart drugs to perform better in exams? They certainly work. Before last summer's exam, a few of my mates, merely out of curiosity, took a considerable amount of Modafinil, a drug normally used for narcolepsy(嗜眠发作症). Guess what? While I was feeling sleepy, bored by revision, my mates were more focused.
Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours. It also sharpens the mind, improves memory and helps problem-solving.
But it does more than just keeping you awake. It disturbs your mental system, making you desperate to do what you are doing. You just don't want to do anything else but revise all the time non-stop.
A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs, like Modafinil, to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off, because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs. This might sound like what a stressed student desires. However, the pills have a range of side-effects.
"At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people," as a medical expert puts it, "Ordering online, though easy, is a dangerous way to obtain drugs. You never know what you're actually purchasing. "
In my experience, Modafinil changes people's behaviour too. Over those weeks my friends became different people—in turn aggressive, cold. Even eating became "a waste of time" and so did conversation.
A BBC survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before, 92% would do so again. My friends say they'd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating.
I admit I was curious—but not enough to try it. Seeing the strange behaviour of other users, I feel a little bit upset and scary. Modafinil may promise to change your grades, but it might also change the way you act. Don't say you haven't been warned!
1.According to the author, his mates took Modafinil for the purpose of______.
A.escaping from reality B.getting better exam results
C.curing their narcolepsy D.leading an active life
2.Taking the smart drug can lead to ______.
A.cheating in the exam B.dropping out of school
C.youth crime(犯罪) D.drug addiction(上瘾)
3.What does the author think of his mates' taking the smart drugs?
A.Worrying. B.Inspiring.
C.Acceptable. D.Reasonable.
4.Which statement about Modafinil is wrong?
A.Modafinil sharpens the mind and helps problem-solving.
B.Modafinil more than just keeps you awake.
C.Modafinil has a range of side effects.
D.Modafinil is safe in healthy people.
5.Who are the target readers of this passage?
A.Teachers. B.Doctors. C.Scientists. D.Students.
