Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FOMO. FOMO is a real 6 that over 75% of young people are experiencing from time to time. Social media is the cause, because it's so easy today to 7 through to see what your friends are doing, eating, buying and talking about. 8 ， it would be impossible to enjoy all the same activities we see others take part in on social media. Rather than 9 this basic truth, though, we often let FOMO lead us to compare our lives to those of others on social media. This 10 leaves us feeling dissatisfied. Why? We know all the aspects of our lives—both good and bad. But all we see on social media are the 11 moments others share. FOMO makes us check social media more frequently, leading to a negative cycle that can be hard to 12 . Researchers have found that social media and FOMO can cause feelings of 13 ， loneliness and boredom. Researchers advise that we stop looking for 14 on social media. If we let FOMO 15 us, the only thing we'll really be missing out on is our own life.

Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would－be journalist. Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs. Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people. Curiosity is a natural part of most people's characters and an important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people's lives. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们选择新闻职业的原因。 1．What can we know from the first paragraph?

I used to sit in front of the TV in my family's living room, imitating what the presenters said on the morning shows. I knew one day I would move to New York City to work in television. So when I got a job at one of the three big networks in New York at the age of 24, I was elated. This was where I had always wanted to be. I spent the next 12 years in a variety of roles at the same company. I had the perfect arrangement that most people thought—a job for life. “You're so lucky” was what I heard over and over again. And I was. But I also started to notice cracks in the media world I had come to love so much. A new kind of competition cropped up in the form of social media and new digital media. News was changing. I knew I couldn't stay where I was; I must accept the change and be part of creating it. When I told my colleagues that I was thinking, about leaving the network and going to work at an online start­up, I got a lot of crazy looks.“Why would you make such a risky move？” “What if it fails？” “You can't be seriously considering this.” I didn't listen to their advice because I knew not, every good experience is defined by success or failure. Sometimes it's about running the risk pushing the limits and having faith in an idea. What would the world be like today if we only acted when we could see the outcome? Our new online company, Huffpost Live, has been on the air for several months and is doing amazingly well. I didn't listen when people told me to take the safe route. I'm proud that I didn't take the advice of the so­called experts and chose to make the change. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者从小想要成为一名记者，后来就职于纽约三大电视网中的一家公司。然而随着新媒体的出现，作者意识到自己必须做出改变，于是从公司辞职创立了自己的在线公司。 1．What does the underlined word “elated” in Paragraph 2 mean?

In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then asked people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. “People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone than by email, and they did not feel more awkward，” study co－author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement. In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by texting. Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “exchange information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.” Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the exact effects of the message，” she explains, “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to measure the meaning behind the content without reflecting on the endless possible meanings behind words.” 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现语音能建立更强的社交纽带。 5．How was the study carried out?

A．Texting helps to exchange information exactly. B．Calling makes it easier to get the exact message. C．Romanoff doesn't agree with the result of the study.

Specifically, content related to literature on TikTok has generated its own domain. Commonly referred to as “BookTok”， this side of the platform focuses on all things about books: book recommendations, tips for pleasing bookshelves and edits related to literature­based fandoms (粉丝圈)． With heightened demand for new media to comfort themselves during the pandemic period of severe challenges, many young adults have regarded literature as a form of escape. Restarting former literary passions, BookTok users have turned their attention to the app to praise the novels that have helped serve as a brief get away to worlds within bound pages. Through a revival of novels that shaped the childhoods of many who are now young adults, even younger generations on the app have been exposed to foundational novels in young adult literature. Along with this emphasis on nostalgic (怀旧的) fandoms, BookTok takes advantage of TikTok trends in order to attract those who may not be familiar with literature to read. The popularity of BookTok and the novels that are recommended to young adults on the app have had a direct effect on bookstores and book sales, with both independent bookstores and chains such as Barnes & Noble taking notice of the broader range of readers that are influenced by TikTok and updating their stock to appeal to users. As of March 2021, BookTok has over 6 billion views and will only continue to grow larger. Though the popularity of BookTok brought many significant questions regarding the future of the book industry and the books that receive mass attention on social media, the importance of the BookTok phenomenon perhaps lies mainly with the readers who claim their love for books and the creative channels through which they express this admiration. TikTok has demonstrated, at least through BookTok, that brilliant literature is written for a broad audience—the perfect book for you is waiting somewhere on a shelf and, through BookTok, you will surely discover it. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一个叫“BookTok”的平台，改变了读者的阅读方式，激起了读者的文学热情。 9．What can users do on BookTok?
