[江苏徐州2024高二期中] I’m a recovering addict. I was addicted to a short video app.
My addiction started several years ago. My first experience was on the recommendation of a friend to check out Susan Boyle’s amazing singing on Britain’s Got Talent. I didn’t think much about it and got on with my life.
But soon I found myself spending a lot of time staring at the screen and discovered on-screen offerings were truly endless. From one video I learnt how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else gave wise sayings from philosophers. Down the rabbit hole I went, for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, checking in every day with people who were talking to me personally(or so it seemed)became an addiction. I subscribed to(订阅)many channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I found all this therapeutic(使人放松的).

At some point, though, I got annoyed by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who are filming them? Do they happen to live in a meadow(草地)? The questions started to disturb me while forcing comparisons with my own somewhat more ordinary existence.
Regardless of my growing anxiety, I continued to click on the app on my phone whenever I had spare five minutes. I compared my life constantly with the images on-screen. I started to hate the endless rules presented for good health, financial stability and mental contentment. In a moment of clarity(清晰), I realised that I had a full and happy life myself, which suited me perfectly although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection on-screen. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life, instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking the app once in a while for some entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content with the knowledge that my addiction to life on-screen has been replaced by life itself.

Why should I stay off social media when I am involved in a lawsuit or personal injury case? Social media has become an important part of our everyday life. Some social software has changed the way we communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. Many of us use these platforms to post opinions, show off our achievements or show our opinions on public affairs.
This means that social media is public information and can be used against you. Lawyers can use social media as evidence. They often look for pictures and posts that could potentially disprove your injury claim. Your posts can still be found even if your information is private when the posts potentially are related to your case. The court may determine that your public posts may lead to admissible evidence. They will not make you offer entire information, but only what they think is related. Defence lawyers wish to prove that the injured party, physically, emotionally, or financially, is lying about their injuries.
刷阅读理解
28
Even posting about your emotions can discount your claim greatly. Say, you are suing (起诉) someone for your pain and suffering because you are depressed, yet you post pictures of yourself smiling and you have quoted “Life is good” attached to the photos. If and when the defence lawyers get a hold of the posts, your pain and suffering claim may not hold up in court.
Most people only post about the good times on social media, rarely about the hardships and misfortunes. Insurance companies are allowed to follow you and gather information as evidence. Social media makes it easier. Before social media, insurance companies and lawyers had to hire investigators to follow people around to spy on them. Social media makes this entirely a lot easier.
If you have posted content related to your claim, you must not change evidence. Deleting your account would be considered you’re destroying evidence and that will affect your case. The best practice would be to stay off social media until your case has come to a close.

Social media has basically taken over almost everyday life for a lot of people. They like to post videos online to share their life. But sometimes, if you post a video online and your video becomes popular, you may get comments from people who will always find something to complain about. They may spread gossip about you that isn’t true. Negative comments, if they are mishandled, can affect your reputation and mood. 1. .
First, respond positively and politely. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Some people like your video while others don’t. No matter how negative the comment is, it’s best for you to give a positive and polite response. 2. . Don’t be angry, and stay calm, which helps you gain the upper hand.
Next, moving the conversation out of the public eye and into a private area is usually the best choice. 3. . Instead, leave a comment for them, asking them to contact you to discuss the problem in private. This shows everyone that you are willing to address the issue, without needing to make it a public discussion for everyone to see.
