1.【湖南省长沙市雅礼中学2022-2023学年高三试题 】
If someone said they’d pay you 1,800 dollars to stay off social media for six years, would you do it? Could you? Sivert Klefsaas did just that. “It was ____41____” Sivert told CNN, “I thought, ‘Ah, what’s 6 more years?’”
In 2016, Lorna Klefsaas ____42____ her 12-year-old son Sivert to stay off social media until he was 18. If he completed the challenge, she’d award him the ____43____on his eighteenth birthday. On February 19, 2022, Sivert ____44____ his prize.
Lorna was inspired by a “16 for 16” ____45____, where a mother gave her daughter $1,600 when she ____46____ 16 for keeping off social media. She decided to up the ante (赌注) to two ____47____ years and 200 dollars more.
For Sivert it wasn’t too difficult to ____48____ social media, and he didn’t think about it much during the six years. As a 12-year-old, Sivert wasn’t using social media much ____49____. The only app he had prior to the bet was Snapchat — which he _____50_____ a day after trying it out. There was never a time when Sivert was about to break. As it went on, it was more of a(n) _____51_____ thing. He also had his friends to keep him _____52_____ on the latest information or trends so as to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there.
Lorna never had to check for any _____53_____ downloaded apps since he’s so competitive and it was definitely more for proving a point. It also meant he had more time to focus on his _____54_____ and sports instead. Lorna noted that they were certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy using of it. It’s about not letting oneself get _____55_____ by it, or addicted to it, or affected by things that people post.
