I quit Facebook in August 2020 completely. Before that, I was constantly checking my notifications and news feed, while waiting in line at the grocery store, pumping gas, at the doctor’s office. Wherever waiting was involved, I’d be on Facebook or Instagram. I’d panic if I didn’t have a signal.
I slowly started to see how much oversharing my Facebook friends were doing. I began to ask myself if I even really knew all these friends, if they would come to my aid if I were facing an emergency, if any of them would miss my absence on Facebook, and the answer was no. So, I downloaded my Facebook data and deactivated my account. I deleted Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, too. I suppose that makes me social media-free.
Honestly, it was not easy. Facebook was some place where I used to write my heart out and could feel safe about anything I’d like to express. It was a place where I had some of my beautiful memories, where I met some new and amazing people and where I shared some of the joyful moments of my life. Having said this, I never felt at ease on Facebook. I felt like I was living someone else’s life, and it felt like all the time I was trying to please others and expecting others to make me happy by responding to my posts with likes and great comments.
Now I spend quality time with my friends and family. I read print newspapers and books. I started playing the piano again and learning a couple more instruments. I cook, and I garden. I take up running and walking and feel healthier. Disconnecting from social media made such a huge difference for me. I didn’t see how addictive and time-consuming Facebook and other social media were until I took myself off it all.

C
Maybe few people know the Northern Spain’s distinctive language—Basque.
There’s a funny folktale about the language that perfectly illustrates its unique strangeness. God once attempted to learn the language in order to pick out the ill Basques. But after seven years of fruitless studies, he had to give up.
Basque, also known as Euskara, has long puzzled historians and linguists(语言学家)with its apparent lack of relation to any other living language in the world. They still can’t piece together a conclusive origin story for it. It is spoken by just over a million people, almost all of whom live in the Basque region of Northern Spain and Southern France.
Basque pre-dates the Indo-European languages, and at the height of its influence, it was spoken throughout a region that was bordered by the Ebro River, the Garonne, the western Pyrenees and Catalonia. Invasions(入侵)from the Celts, Romans and more have decreased its geographical reach over time. Additionally, Franco forbade the use of any languages besides Spanish during his rule between 1939 and 1975, but Basque managed to survive in remote rural mountain towns and along the coast of the Bay of Biscay, as well as in daily domestic conversations in the cities.
Next came a wave of arrivals from the Indo-European people around 3,500 years ago, which is when the seeds for most current European languages were scattered(撒播)around the continent. However, this didn’t seem to occur in the Basque region itself, which was geographically isolated from the rest. It was in1545 that the first book was printed in Euskara, and the language was finally standardized in 1968. Today, many speakers of Euskara live in rural or suburban areas. There’s a standardized form of Euskara called Batua that’s used in schools and institutions, however. Euskara has also been the co-official language of the Basque Country Autonomous Community since 1979, along with Spanish.

Scientists have made great breakthroughs in building low-lithium(锂) batteries.
Lithium is the main component in rechargeable batteries, and demand for the metal has skyrocketed in recent years. However, the mining process to obtain the element often causes lasting water and land pollution. It means many companies are looking for alternative materials from which to build batteries. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory(PNNL)cooperated with Microsoft to do just that. Using Microsoft’s AI tool Azure Quantum Elements, researchers screened potential new materials that can be used in low-lithium batteries.
Batteries work by bringing charged particles(粒子)back and forth between positive and negative ends, known as electrodes. When wires are connected, lithium ions move from the negative electrode, through a conducting substance called the electrolyte, toward the positive electrode. Meanwhile, electrons travel in the same direction through the wires, enabling energy to be drawn from the battery.
For this study, the researchers focused on solid electrolyte materials which scientists hope to develop into a safer and more efficient alternative to current liquid electrolytes. Microsoft’s AI tool narrowed 32 million theoretical materials down to half a million materials in a matter of hours. The team then selected nine other criteria and used AI to apply them, sorting the candidates by their electronic properties, cost and strength to narrow the pool to 18 finalists in just 80 hours. “I was so shocked. It’d have taken 20 years to screen through all those materials experimentally,” said engineer Kandler Smith. The researchers synthesized(合成)a final material that could reduce lithium usage in batteries by 70%.
Conventional lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes which shorten the charging time, but they’re flammable, which means they burn easily, and side reactions with the electrodes degrade the battery over time. Solid-state electrolytes are more chemically stable and much less flammable. The downfall is that they don’t move the lithium ions as quickly, so the charging time is slower. So the electronic performance of the top-performing candidate the AI identified will need improving before it becomes suitable for practical applications.

Science shows that helping others can make you feel good too. The key is to find the approach that works for you.
For thousands of years, the greatest thinkers have suggested the same thing.36 Scientific research provides clear data to support the idea that helping others may be the secret to living a life that is happier, healthier, and more productive and meaningful.
37 And as we learn early, it’s better to give than to receive. Plus, the more you give, the more you stand to gain purpose, meaning, and happiness. Follow these tips:
Find your passion. 38 You might care about one cause more than others, and that’s okay. Support the cause that feels right for you.
Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. 39 We can give some of this time to help others—whether a few hours each day, or a few days each year.
Don’t forget about yourself. “Selfless giving easily becomes significant,” psychologist Adam Grant says. He advises giving to others, but keeping your personal and emotional needs in mind. 40
Be pro-active. Set aside time to serve your community. Think about your options, and find the cause and type of service that best match your values.
A. You matter too.
B. Giving can feel great.
C. That is that happiness is found in helping others.
D. They think that happiness just depends on ourselves.
E. Both time and money are important to givers who help others.
F. We don’t all have the same amount of money, but we all have time.
G. It’s not how much you give, but it’s how much love you put into giving.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My grandmother and I were on the back porch(门廊)at my parents’ home in Louisiana where the extended family was gathered for Sunday dinner.
Suddenly, we heard cries from the back yard. We ran outside, looking nervously for the source, and discovered a newly opened hole in the ground, about 28 inches across, where grass growing across the top hid a spring-fed well. For years, my father had been filling in the unused well with dirt. Down this awful hole we could see only the head of my 20-month-old nephew, David, about 15 feet down, head above the muck(淤泥), and water in the well.
I ran to the back door of the house and shouted inside, “David’s fallen in the well!” My husband John and David’s father Paul, both of whom are so fat, were right behind me as I ran back to David. Looking around the yard for something to use to reach him, I saw an old garden hose(软管) but dismissed it as I thought it was too weak to hold anyone’s weight. The mouth of the well was too narrow for fat adults to go down to save David who was crying hard.
Fearing for David’s safety, Paul and John were very anxious and walked up and down in the yard. David’s mother, Loretta, who was expecting her second baby any minute, was in shock. I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do next.

The well was too narrow for Gibson to bend over.
Finally, Gibson and David reached the surface.
My grandmother and I must have been making a terrible noise because our next door neighbor Ivy Gibson came running over. He immediately assessed the situation and took command of the rescue.
Gibson, a 31-year-old drag-line operator, who happened to be thin, told us calmly to bring the hose, double it, and lower him into the small opening. He quickly removed his shoes while we readied the hose. Then Paul, John, and I lowered him into the well.

参考范文
The well was too narrow for Gibson to bend over. So he placed his feet under David’s arms and ordered us to start pulling them up s-l-o-w-l-y while he forcefully lifted David up using his courageous feet. About halfway up, he said loudly “Stop!” He told us that he was losing strength in one of his feet and needed to rest for a short while. Then, he had David lean against the side of the well with his feet still under his arms. After one minute, he told us to continue pulling. I could see he was trying hard to hold on.
Finally, Gibson and David reached the surface. We quickly grabbed them for fear that they would fall into the well again. David was saved at last! After the rescue, we put the hose into the well to see how deep it was and found it was too deep to measure. Gibson told us that David had been sinking fast in the muck and didn’t have long before he would have been completely covered. Fortunately, Gibson showed up in time and was able to think and act quickly. He has always been a true hero in our hearts.
