The events in the passage most probably aim to_.A. introduce some courses B. advertise Cambridge UniversityC. enrich students spare time life D. promote childrens interest in touringBUniversity of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media us

9、e to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study

10、that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. “We set out to do a much more complete s

11、tudy which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place fo

12、r three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness. “Using less social media than you normally do

13、 would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When youre online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and youre left out，”Hunt said.

14、And thats just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.“P

15、eople are on their devices, and thats not going to change，” she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.4. Before the study was conducted, the participants completed a survey to_.A. imitate peoples real life B. link loneliness to depressionC. show their use of social media D. prove so

16、cial media is important5. The results of the study showed using less social media would result in_.A. peoples fear of missing out B. higher levels of depressionC. obvious relief in loneliness D. lower levels of happiness6. In Hunts opinion, which activity benefits more to mental health?A. Hiking out

17、 with friends. B. Making comparison with others.C. Playing computer games in spare time. D. Logging onto social media and having fun.7. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. A Study on Social Media. B. How to Improve Mental Health.C. People Addicted to Social Media. D. Social Media Influence

18、s Mental Health.CIn a recent series of experiments at the University of California, researchers studied toddlers thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌）and victims.In the first experiment, toddlers (学步儿童）watched a scene in which two puppets (木偶） had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stag

19、e from right to left, and the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting the other one pass by. Then researchers asked the toddlers which puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status

20、puppet the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的）and toddlers like winners better than losers.But then researchers had another question: Do toddlers like winners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very simil

21、ar to the one described above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were different: Only 4 out of 23 children liked the winner.These data suggest that children already love a winne

22、r by the age of 21-31 months. This does not necessarily mean that the preference is inborn: 21 months is enough time to learn a lot of things. But if a preference for winners is something we learn, we appear to learn it quite early.Even more interesting, the preference for winners is not absolute. C

23、hildren in our study did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that already by the age of 21-31 months, childrens liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, including perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones.In a time when

24、the news is full of stories of public figures who celebrate winning at all costs, these results give us much confidence. Humans understand dominance, but we also expect strong individuals to guide, protect and help others. This feels like good news.8. One of the purposes of the experiments is to_.A.

25、 teach toddlers how to gain higher statusB. offer toddlers a chance to watch a sceneC. observe the process of toddlers solving a conflictD. find out toddlers attitude toward winners and losers9. The toddlers regarded bowing and moving aside as a sign of_.A. obeying rules B. gaining statusC. giving i

26、n to the other D. showing good manners10. What does the second experiment tell us about toddlers?A. They are excellent learners. B. They are always changeable.C. They show mercy to the loser. D. They value kindness over winning.11. What does the author think of the results of the series of experimen

27、ts?A. Disappointing. B. Encouraging. C. Unexpected. D. Controversial.DNasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (保护区）on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA. Hes one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nat

28、ionally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.Natural resources and wildlife officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate

29、 the wildlife refuge and theyll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generati

30、ons. But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunti

31、ng specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed.

32、 Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导）programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.Luckily, there are those sti

Now，he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him o

34、n his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.12. What can be inferred from Chris Markins words?A. The hunting tradition is facing challenges. B.

39、ally comes from the word “papyrus”.17 Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched.
