(2026·安徽六校入学考试)Public health data signals a genuine crisis in adolescent mental health：rising rates of anxiety，depression, and hopelessness.But as we worry about teens who are struggling, we can't ignore another mounting 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 ever before.The result is an overwhelming wave of social information.It's especially intense for adolescents whose sensitivities drive them to care deeply about what their peers are doing and thinking.

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 over-eager, especially when the friendship is new or not close.But when it's a close friend, too long a lag (延迟) can be hurtful.

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 ignored by adults.And that is what should be changed with the help of parents, schools and other parts of society.

(2026·辽宁六校联考)Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer the question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans' essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.

The second view involves the themes of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love on the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to have power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?

From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decrease of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent that the people from whom you are estranged (疏远) accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments, forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.

As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to
