【題目】First thing in the morning, I checked Face Book only to see how I’ve already fallen behind. A workmate has written a new book. Two of my heroes have completed a big project. One of my old college friends posted a video for an online program she’s talking. She looks successful, shiny and charming.【1】

Am I really falling behind? Did these people post any of these things in order to make me feel bad? Of course not. But if I’m not careful it’s terribly easy to see social media(社會媒體) as a reminder（提醒） of all the things I’m not doing.

【2】It’s a comparison problem. It’s all about how we think about it. I know it’s not just me. Our culture is full of comparisons, and it’s not hard to look around at what other people are doing with their short time, and ask”What about me?” Comparisons can make you not believe yourself. 【3】

Don’t compare your insides with someone else’s outsides.【4】

Don’t act like it was effortless or pure luck. It’s much easier to look at someone “up there”and be jealous of what they have than to be happy for them and make yours better. Have a clear understanding of yourself.

【5】You’re neither better than nor worse than anyone in the world. Be yourself and do your best.

A. You have no idea what it took for other people to get where they are.

B. I feel bad because I’m still in bed, sleepy-eyed.

C. But this isn’t a social media problem.

D. Don’t compare your life with those of others.

E. So how to deal with this problem seems very necessary and important

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】E

【4】D

【5】A

【解析】這篇短文作者從自己的感受談起，告訴我們不要和別人去比，他們能成功也必是付出了努力。你不比別人更好，也不比別人更差，做好自己，盡自己的最大努力就好。

【1】根據(jù)文意可知，作者在瀏覽Facebook的時候看到很多人做了很有意義的事情，所以作者覺得自己落后了。再根據(jù)下文Did these people post any of these things in order to make me feel bad?可知，作者看到了人們發(fā)的帖子之后，感到很傷心，因為他什么也沒做，睡眼惺忪。故應選B。

【2】根據(jù)下句話It’s a comparison problem. It’s all about how we think about it.可知，作者認為這是一個比較的問題，取決于我們是怎么想的，因此C選項合適，意思是：這不是社交媒體的問題。

【3】根據(jù)上句話Comparisons can make you not believe yourself.可知，作者認為和別人比會使你不相信自己，下文作者具體提出了建議，因此這里應選E，意為：因此如何解決這一問題顯得非常必要和重要。

【4】根據(jù)上下文可知，這里作者連續(xù)用了幾個Don’t …，因此這里應選D，意為：不要拿你的生活去和別人的生活相比。

【5】根據(jù)文意可知，別人能成功也是付出了努力的，你不知道他們是怎樣走到這一步的，所以作者讓我們不要和別人去比，只要做好自己就行。故應選A，意為：你不知道他們是怎樣走到今天這一步的。

The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival. As both the month and the day are nine, it got this name. To celebrate the day,

people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemum (菊花), so the festival is also known as

the Height Ascending (登高) Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. In China, nine has the similar

pronunciation with the word “forever”, meaning long life. So the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day.

The festival has a history of over 2000 years. During the Warring States Period, there was the Chongyang Festival. But it was only celebrated in the imperial palace. From the Han Dynasty, it began to be popular among the common people. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdoms Period. During the Jin Dynasty, there were customs of enjoying chrysanthemum and drinking wines on the day. It was not (A) officially set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty. Since then, all the people have spent the festival with kinds of activities. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people in the imperial palace all ate flower cakes to celebrate. The emperor climbed the mountain on the day as well. In 1989, the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day.

As September has the clear sky and fresh air, it is a very good time to climb the mountain. There will be a happy sense of excitement by climbing the mountain in this season. Also, it is good for health. Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has been the custom of climbing on the Chongyang Festival.

On the day, enjoying chrysanthemum is very popular as the flower means long life. Drinking chrysanthemum is regarded as a way to prevent disasters and bad things. Inserting Zhuyu and

sticking chrysanthemum are also traditions to avoid the bad as (B) they have special smells which can repel (驅(qū)逐) insects and keep out the cold.

Eating Chongyang cakes is another tradition on the festival. There is no fixed way of the cake but

the one with nine layers (層) with two sheep on it is the best. Two sheep means Chongyang. Nine

layers show people could do well in everything.

【題目】What does your face say?

How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?

New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.

Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions — happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厭惡), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the

same.

So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (復雜的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.

“We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (組合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”

With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(進化).

What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.

【1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To show interest in different cultures.

B. To express the worries about emotions.

C. To lead in the topic of facial expressions.

D. To give an example of facial expressions.

【2】The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

A. express B. explain C. differentiate D. develop

【3】According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that ______.

A. facial expressions are easy to understand in Japan

B. the way expressions are understood is different in China

C. new ways of social communication can improve movements

D. it’s difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. We can express our emotions in four different ways.

B. Facial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily.

C. Facial expressions of emotion are from different countries.

D. Facial expressions are explained differently in different cultures.
