Because my stories upset me at night with the possibility of it all, when I can't get words on paper, I want to scream. All my energy pools at the bottom of my heart, where it continues to yell at me all day long, “Write! Write! Write!” I have to quiet the voice like a hidden pet, shushing(发嘘声) it over and over until I get the chance to leave, with a laptop in my hand, stories pouring out of my mind.
What poor, unfortunate lives we artists live! We're tortured by our words, whether they're circling around in our minds at 3 am or written on paper, looking sad and regretful that we've put them there. Our words laugh at us before and after they leave our bodies.
I messaged a writing mentor(导师) when I found myself running in circles. With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon, I found it hard to write. If only I had more time, I could finish my book. If only people would leave me alone, I could become an accomplished writer. It was everyone else's fault.
Small—my mentor told me to start small but keep going. “Do what you can, when you can. Let that be enough during the busy seasons.” In her eyes, she was once me. She was once crazy with tasks that kept her hands pushing, pulling, grabbing and moving endlessly. She recognized herself in the way I talked with starry eyes about my dreamy writing goals and plans. Essays, articles and short stories flowered in my rich mind.
In a few wise words, she gave me the freedom to write in small periods of time she called “the cracks of the day”. She argued that I should run after publishing with the same desire as ever. But in her patient voice, I heard a gentle reminder of stopping running so hard and instead slowing to a sustainable pace.
So I write. I submit. I live, and I dream.

Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering(过滤) the pictures and words to put your best face forward.
Online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of friendship. You share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the Internet. You simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental interaction. This is not to say that your social media friends can't be real friends. They absolutely can, but the two are not the same. Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn't feel safe to be completely authentic(真实的) and vulnerable(易受伤的) to some of our “friends” whom we don't actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.
Social media can certainly be an escape from the daily routines, but we must be cautious about the negative effects on a person's overall psychological well-being.
As humans, we are eager for social connection. Scrolling through pages of pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree of fulfillment as face-to-face interactions do. Also, we tend to idealize others' lives and compare our downfall to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence.
Social media can lead to the unhealthy pursuit of perfection. Some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so that they can take that “perfect” photo. However, pictures and posts should be byproducts of life's treasured moments and fun times, not the planned and calculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs.
Ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. It has opened doors for business and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social life is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be.
5.How does social media affect our life?
A.It may improve our physical appearance. B.It may make us feel isolated and insecure.
C.It may filter our negative impressions on others. D.It may enhance our communication skills.
6.Why do people post photos selectively on social media?
A.They do not want to lose their followers.
B.They are eager to become famous overnight.
C.They do not find all their online friends trustworthy.
D.They want to avoid offending any of their audiences.
7.What do people tend to do according to the passage?
A.Have more face-to-face interactions. B.Exaggerate their accomplishments.
C.Learn lessons from other people's downfall. D.Paint a rosy picture of other people's lives.
8.What does the author advise when online experience becomes unpleasant?
A.Stay connected to online friends for suggestions.
B.Strengthen ties with real-life friends instead of online friends.
C.Connect with various types of people all over the globe.
D.Avoid negative thoughts and feelings through online pages.

Part 4 LESSON 3 SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.flow 2.million 3.bend 4.delay 5.deadlines
Ⅱ.1.social networking 2.chatter away 3.are;associated with 4.in reality 5.obsess over
Ⅲ.1.depressed 考查形容词。and连接并列成分,helpless为形容词,由此可知设空处也应为形容词,修饰人用-ed形式的形容词,故填depressed。
2.constantly 考查副词。设空处作状语,修饰post,应用副词,故填constantly。
3.appointment 考查名词。make an appointment with sb.意为“和某人约定”。故填appointment。句意:由于头痛严重,凯特取消了下午的会议,并与医生预约去看病。
4.mates 考查名词复数。空前为名词birthdays,可知与之对应此处应用名词复数作宾语,故填mates。
5.Complaints 考查名词复数。空后是介词about,后面有谓语have become,因此此处应用复数名词作主语,句首单词首字母要大写,故填Complaints。
6.chased 考查时态。分析句子可知,空前是主语,设空处为谓语动词,和and后的played并列,所以设空处也应用一般过去时,故填chased。
7.reserved 考查形容词。句意:我虽然性格极为内敛,但喜欢和人接触。根据句意可知此处用形容词作定语,修饰名词。
8.intensity 考查名词。根据and前的 frequency的提示可知,此处用名词。
9.barely 考查副词。句意:一只蜂鸟被蜘蛛网覆盖,几乎不能移动它的翅膀。此处用副词作状语,修饰able。
10.alcoholic 考查形容词。句意:根据上周进行的调查,超过一半的大学生承认曾喝过含酒精的饮料。根据句意可知此处用形容词作定语,修饰名词。

3.What impressed me most; that students had a strong passion 4.①whatever he decides ②no matter what he decides
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.constantly 考查副词。设空处位于从句谓语could post中间,因此推测此处用副词作状语,故填constantly。
2.checks 考查主谓一致及时态。主语he是第三人称单数,因此谓语动词用单数,根据语境可知用一般现在时,所以填checks。
3.of 考查介词。固定短语a couple of表示“几个”。
4.to make 考查动词不定式。固定结构“find it+adj.+to do...”意为“发现做……很……”。
5.an 考查冠词。设空处位于可数名词life之前,表泛指,且active以元音音素开头,故填an。
6.closer 考查副词比较级。对比有手机和无手机,他们觉得手机会把人拉得更近,因此用副词比较级。
7.miles 考查名词复数。a million后接可数名词时,用其复数。
8.himself 考查代词。主语是He,他为自己制订计划,表示“某人自己”应用反身代词,故填himself。
9.what 考查宾语从句。through后缺少宾语,且设空处后又有主语和谓语,故推测设空处引导宾语从句,且设空处在从句中作宾语,因此应填what。
10.chasing 考查动词-ing形式。句中已有谓语动词,故设空处应用非谓语动词形式,chase与其逻辑主语he之间是主动关系,因此用动词-ing形式。故填chasing。
Ⅱ.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了笑和幽默的积极作用。
【高频词汇】 1.disagreement n.意见不一;分歧;争论 2.get over 克服;解决 3.act as充当,起……作用
1.powerful 考查形容词。句意:笑能拉近人与人之间的距离,是当情绪激动时让你放松的强有力的工具。分析句子可知,设空处修饰名词tool,应用形容词作定语。power的形容词形式为powerful,意为“强有力的”。
2.to solve 考查不定式。句意:无论与你的亲朋好友还是同事相处,你都可以学会用幽默解决分歧、降低每个人的压力水平,并以加深关系的方式沟通。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物做某事”,此处不定式作目的状语,故填to solve。
3.deepens 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,设空处作定语从句的谓语,先行词为way,从句阐述客观事实,应用一般现在时。a way为单数,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式,故填deepens。
4.in 考查介词。play an important role in...意为“在……中扮演重要角色”,故填in。
5.be used 考查被动语态。句意:在新关系中,幽默可以被当作一种有效工具——不仅能吸引对方,还能化解我们互相了解时产生的尴尬。主语humor和动词use之间是被动关系,且空前已有情态动词can,故填be used。
6.closeness 考查名词。句意:分享幽默带来的快乐会在两个人之间产生亲密感和联结感——这些特质是牢固且成功的关系的标志。设空处与and后的connection 并列,且前面有介词of,应用名词形式。close的名词形式为closeness,意为“亲密,亲近”。
7.that/which 考查定语从句。本空引导定语从句,先行词为qualities(指物),设空处在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that 或 which。
8.a 考查冠词。此处relationship是可数名词,表示“一种积极的关系”,且positive 以辅音音素开头,故设空处应用不定冠词a。
9.hearing 考查动词的-ing形式。句意:而且笑是有感染力的——仅仅听到某人笑,往往就会让你开心地微笑并加入这种欢乐之中。设空处作主语,应用动词的-ing形式,故填hearing。
10.happily 考查副词。分析句子可知,设空处修饰动词smile,应用副词作状语。happy的副词形式为happily,意为“开心地”。

长难句
原句 Because my stories upset me at night with the possibility of it all, when I can't get words on paper, I want to scream.
分析 本句为主从复合句。Because引导原因状语从句;when引导时间状语从句。
译文 由于我的故事在晚上很有可能让我烦恼,当我无法在纸上写出文字时,我想尖叫。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Because my stories upset me at night with the possibility of it all, when I can't get words on paper, I want to scream. All my energy pools at the bottom of my heart, where it continues to yell at me all day long, ‘Write! Write! Write!’”可推知,作者有着强烈的写作欲望。故选A。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“whether they're circling around in our minds at 3 am or written on paper, looking sad and regretful that we've put them there”可推知,作者因为自己写的话受折磨。由此可推知,画线词tortured与troubled“折磨,使苦恼”意思接近。故选B。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon, I found it hard to write.”可知,作者因为缺乏时间而不能很好地写作。故选A。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Small—my mentor told me to start small but keep going. ‘Do what you can, when you can. Let that be enough during the busy seasons.’”可推知,导师建议作者从小事做起,持之以恒,方能水滴石穿。故选D。
B
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。社交媒体扩大了我们的人际关系范围,但会引发孤独感和不自信。我们应该加强与现实生活中朋友的联系。
【高频词汇】 1.management n.管理 2.interaction n.互动
3.be cautious about小心 4.be eager for渴望 5.various adj.各种不同的 6.rewarding adj.有益的;有意义的
【熟词生义】 1.market熟义:n.集市 生义:v.推销 2.like熟义:v.喜欢 生义:n.点赞 3.follow熟义:v.跟随
生义:n.关注 4.share熟义:v.分享 生义:n.转发
【差距词汇】 1.psychological adj.心理的 2.catchy adj.容易记住的 3.unfiltered adj.未过滤的 4.cyberspace n.网络空间 5.exaggerate v.夸大,言过其实
长难句
原句 If the latter is the case, increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social life is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be.
分析 本句是主从复合句。If引导条件状语从句,主句为increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder,主句中的主语是increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online;reminder之后又有that引导的同位语从句,说明提醒信息的内容;than引导比较状语从句。
译文 如果是后者,增加与值得信赖的朋友面对面交流的时间和最大限度地减少在线滚动的时间将证明你的真实社交生活比任何“点赞”“关注”或“转发”都有意义得多。
5.B 推理判断题。文章第一段提出社交媒体为什么会引起我们的孤独感和缺乏自信,然后分析了原因。由此可推知,社交媒体可能会让我们感到孤立和不安全。故选B。
6.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn't feel safe to be completely authentic(真实的) and vulnerable(易受伤的) to some of our ‘friends’ whom we don't actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.”可知,人们之所以在社交媒体上有选择地发布照片,是因为他们并不认为所有的网友都值得信赖。故选C。
7.D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句“Also, we tend to idealize others' lives and compare our downfall to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence.”可知,我们往往把别人的生活理想化,将我们的失败与他们最伟大的成就作比较,最终感到孤独和缺乏自信。由此可知,人们往往把别人的生活描绘得非常美好。故选D。
8.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后两句“However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online...”可知,当社交媒体让人产生了消极的感受时,作者建议人们加强与现实生活中的朋友的联系,而不是与网友的联系。故选B。
