Question

【題目】閱讀短文，并按題目要求用英語回答問題。

I received a private message on Facebook。 It began harmlessly enough: "Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group ——we'll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.”

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 had got. His question was a wake-up call.

"Likes" arc 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.

Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction 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 of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I deactivated 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 knitting（針織）. I started taking yoga classes.

I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I'm in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.

I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt pleasant 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 social media allows me to keep in touch with family for and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.

It is not an addiction any more.

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者之前的生活被Facebook控制了，過分在乎網(wǎng)絡(luò)中別人是否“喜歡”，因此作者決定脫離Facebook，活在當下，享受現(xiàn)在的生活。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的five minutes later my son asked me how many "likes" it had got. His question was a wake-up call.可知，兒子的問題對作者是一個警醒。根據(jù)字數(shù)，故答案為Her son's question was a wake-up call.

【2】詞義猜測題。文中第六段提到To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example to my son，作者想要恢復(fù)之前簡單的生活，想要給兒子樹立一個好的榜樣，同時第一段也提到作者在打開Facebook時有些信息打擾，因此作者想要關(guān)掉Facebook。因此推斷劃線詞deactivate意思是：關(guān)閉，根據(jù)字數(shù)，故答案為Close。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。文章第7段提到I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I started taking yoga classes.可知，作者不玩Facebook后培養(yǎng)了一些新的興趣，如隨時看書、上瑜伽課等，這些都是非常健康的興趣，根據(jù)字數(shù)故答案為She developed some healthy habits.

【4】推理判斷題。文章倒數(shù)三、四段I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt pleasant at the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.闡述停止通過手機看世界。作者感到很愉快。休息使作者對自己、家庭、和生活感覺更好。因此推斷作者認為脫落了Facebook，有了時間發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中的美，休息讓自己對自己、家庭、和生活感覺更好。根據(jù)詞數(shù)，故答案為It gave her time to find beauty in life. Or: The break left her feeling better about herself, her family, her home and her life.

【5】開放題。根據(jù)文章可知，對于社交媒體 ，要理智對待，適度使用，適度使用它才不會導致分心和浪費大量時間。注意考慮詞數(shù)。參考答案為Open. (I think we should use social media moderately. Because using it moderately can't result in distraction and waste a lot of time.)
