02 Period II Using language—Presenting ideas Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 Public health data signals a genuine crisis in adolescent mental health: rising rates of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. But as we worry about tweens and teens who are struggling, we can’t ignore another growing effect—the burdens that are shouldered by their friends and peers in an “always on” world. We have studied teens and tech for over a decade. Their networks are ever-expanding, in no small part because there’s a sense that being nice means accepting fellow requests from acquaintances and friends-of-friends. And it’s not just staying connected—it’s keeping up with what others post, too. Social media platforms thus make it technically possible to maintain more relationships than we are historically actually wired to track and manage. The result is an overwhelming wave of social information. It’s especially intense for adolescents whose developmental sensitivities drive them to care deeply about what their peers are doing and thinking. 刷阅读理解 2 Significant stress comes with trying to be a “good friend” in the age of social media. Friendship requires both public and behind-the-scenes support. Even before a social media post is made public, close friends can be pulled into photo selection, editing, and final examination. Besides, they need to respond in the right way and in the right amount of time, which differs from one relationship to another. Replying too quickly can be seen as overeager, especially when the friendship is new or not close. But when it’s a close friend, too long a lag （时间间隔） can be hurtful. The qualities that are key to building or breaking friendships are actually the same as they’ve always been: mutual （相互的） sharing of joys and sorrows, a give and take of acceptance and support, and an ability to weather and resolve conflicts. But technologies have transformed how friendships play out. Social media increases the burdens that come along with being a good friend. Too often, these dynamics hit teens hard in ways that are lost on adults. And that is what should be changed with the help of parents, schools and other parts of society. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是社交媒体是如何让青少年的友谊变得更紧张的。 刷阅读理解 3 1.What makes teenagers’ networks continue to expand?( ) A A.The pressure to be nice.

B.The conflicts between schools and parents. C.The relations between parents and their teens.
