roller coaster
This was our last trip before high school.I had been looking forward to it for weeks.But at the roller coaster,
my stomach felt too tight to say anything at all.
The big girl beside us was Tasha,my best friend Dan's sister.She was a singer.She was fantastic on the
stage.Just the image of her up there made me think she was so cool.
Our roller coaster car pulled up,and my friends rushed forward,I felt my legs couldn't move.All I could
think about was the roller coaster might fly off into the sky.Without a word,I tumed,ran out of the line.I knew
what people were saying about me,but I didn't care.I just kept moving past the crowd,found a bench (
near the bathrooms to sit down and put my head in my hands.
"Hey!Steve!Are you okay?"I looked up.It was Tasha!
Oh,uh,yeah,I just started feeling,um,sick."I responded.
318
"You know,it's okny if you were scared.Everyone gets scared."She said.
"You don't."I said in a low voice."I've seen you on that stage.You were fearless."
"I'm glad it looks like I'm not scared!"Tasha smiled."But that's not true.I get really scared and nervous
before I perform."
Before I noticed she was on the bench by my side,her words moved on.
"Hey,look.singing is important to me.And I want to share what love with my pcople.So.cven if I'm
scared.I do it anyway.I push through the fear and just get up and do it Is taking roller coaster important to you?"
"Yeah,it is.And I want to be able to look back and remember having fun with my friends.I don't want to
remember running away and sitting alone by the bathrooms."
"Everyone gets scared,but brave people don't let fear control them."She looked into my eyes.Still being
lost in what she said,I saw my friends coming towards me.
I got up and went with them to the coaster.
When we were leaving,Tasha took a photo of my big smile in front of the coaster.I put it on my door.It
stayed there through all four years of my high school,a reminder of what was more important to me than fear.
24.What problem did Steve have on this trip?
A.He was too tired to say anything.
B.He was scared to sing on the stage
C.He broke his leg and couldn't move.
D.He was afraid to get on the roller coaster.
25.With Tasha's comfort,Steve decided to
A.sit alone
B.join in the fun
C.rn away
D.practicc singing
26.Why did Steve put the photo on his door?
A.It was his only photo before high school.
B.It encouraged him to be brave in the future.
C.It showed his big smile in front of the coaster.

Celebrities (are everywhere nowadays:on TV,in magazines,online.People think and talk about them
a lot.Is this harmless fun or is it bad for us?How many people are truly crazy about modern idols ()And on
the other side of the coin,is being famous harmful to the celebrities?
Studies suggest that most of the teenagers do not really idolize celebrities.Researchers have found three
kinds of fans.About 15%of young people have a social interest.They love chatting about their favorite celebrities
with friends and this does not appear to do any harm.
Another 5%feel that they have a strong personal relationship with a celebrity.Sometimes they see them as
their soul-mates (and find that they are often thinking about them,even when they don't want to.These
pcople are easy to feel depressed.If girls in this group idolize a woman star with a body they consider to be perfect,
they are more likely to be unhappy with their own bodies.
4/8
That leaves 2%of young people with an unreasonable interest.They might spend several thousand pounds
on a paper plate the celebrity had used,or they would do something lawbreaking.These people are in most danger
of being seriously upset.
What about the celebrities themselves?Some researchers in the USA did a study to find out the effect of
being famous on these people.The study showed celebrities showed off too much and they were very narcissistic
()The researchers looked at 200 cclebrities,200 young adults with high education,who were a group
known for being narcissistic,and some general population.As the researchers expected,the celebrities were much
more narcissistic than the people with high education and both of these two groups were a lot more narcissistic than
the general population.
Four kinds of celebrities were included in the study.The most narcissistic were the ones who had become
famous through reality TV shows..Next came comedians(喜剧演员),and then actors..The least narcissistic were
musicians.One interesting result was that there was no connection between narcissism and the length of time the
celebrity had been famous.
So,what can we learn from this?Most people who are very successful or famous are usually self-centered
and are likely to act only for their own benefits.As we can see from celebrity magazines,they also often feel lonely
and even hopeless.They make harmful role models.
27.The underlined word"depressed"in Paragraph 3 probably means"
A.sad
B.afraid
C.pleased
D.hopeful
28.What can we leamn from the passage?
A.Most fans of celebrities want to become famous.
B.Talking about celebrities does harm to teenagers.
C.Narcissism increases with the length of time of being famous.
D.Only a small group of teenagers are crazy about celebrities.
29.What's the purpose of writing this passage?
A.To make people understand celebrities better.
B.To show how much teenagers idolize celebrities.
C.To compare different groups of people with celebrities.
D.To discourage teenagers from taking celebrities as idols.

In the past decade,the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed.It has tumed
some teenagers into celebrities (and turned the famous into the infamous,overnight.
A key feature(特征)of social media,however,,is its volatility.Trends(趋向,动向)come and go,
disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared.
Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent (Douyin,took the world by storm.
TikTok was once ranked 8th on Apple's App Store,and Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active
5/8
users.
Why are these short videos,which are rarely longer than a few minutes,so popular?Jiang Yige,
Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management,has a theory."Short videos are just right to fill in the little
gaps in our busy schedules,"he told CNBC.
These videos,apart from being very convenient,are important to teenagers because they allow them to
express themselves,according to Tcen Vogue.
Liza Koshy,a user of the US app Musical,who has over 2 million followers,said,"The sense of community
that users of short video apps get is another appealing(有吸引力的)feature.."
Live streaming (is a fcature of our social media life that now secms as,natural as sunrise.It's a pretty
neat idea:You can watch anyone,anywhere,live?However,China has taken live streaming to a whole new level.
In China,millions of viewers monthly watch a live streaming video.Forbes thought that a number of factors had
led to the popularity of the live streaming.Among them is viewers'ability to interact with unknown names.
However,the quick development of social media may be having side effects too.Fake news is one serious
problem it causes.Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy(准确,精确).The most
basic content (can be false and can mislead users one way or another.We use social media all the time,which
doesn't mean that we understand the influence it is having on us.We should be mindful of both the time we spend
on it and its powerful effect on our minds.
30.What does the underlined word"volatility"in Paragraph 2 possibly mean?
A.Being changeable.
B.Being valuable.
C.Being comfortable.
D.Being international.
31.According to Liza Koshy,why are short video apps very popular?
A.They are very convenient.
B.They help people kill time.
C.They provide a sense of community.
D.They allow people to express themselves.
32.What do we know about social media?

B.People can't communicate with each other without social media.
C.There is still much room for social media to make improvement.
D.Taking short videos is the best way for teenagers to express themselves.
33.What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
A.Short video apps will take the world by storm in the future.

In today's digital (age,video platforms like YouTube,iQIYI and bilibili all offer viewers the choices
to watch content (at different speeds,from the standard"normal"play up to"2X"or even faster.
Joel Jelen,a 55-year old,has been a fan of the fast-forward button for about 15 years,mainly for one type of
content."I often watch sports videos at double speed,"he shares."I started doing this because I realized life is too
short to sit through a football match from the beginning to the end."What began as a work break habit has become
a preferred way of relaxation for Jelen."It's very relaxing and a great break from my job.I get to catch all the key
moments and action without spending hours upon hours."
It's true that packing more viewing into less time sounds effective.However,Zhang,a film reviewer,argues,
"Many people make thoughtful choices about pacing,lighting,timing,and music to perfect their films.Speeding up
can ruin the experience."According to Zhang,if someone speeds up a movic while watching,their critique
(评论)of the film cannot be valid(合理的).
Somctimes getting a quick overview and feeling a sense of achievement from consuming (another
piece of information secm to become more important.As a result,people speed up content to tick off"watched"or
"listened to"from their to-do lists,instead of truly enjoying the movies and songs.However,people don't realize
that sped-up content sometimes destroy their patience with life.One Chinese Internet user said,"I found myself
growing impatient with tasks like research for work or studying for exams,which can take hours,days,or even
weeks.I'd think,How can I speed this up?'And that thought really scares me."
We already live in a fast-paced society,yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect ()But at what cost
Some things should remain unhurried,such as our appreciation (for beauty and the value of hard work.
