They were ____11____ with being average, and that easygoing attitude seemed harmless at first. But that road gradually led to trouble. High school brought heavy pressure. On one English test, he scored only 26 out of 150—a result that shocked him deeply. He was sent to a lower-level class and ____12____ his old friends, feeling terribly lonely. Then a single meeting changed everything. He met a college student who was good at games ____13____ also mastered thousands of English words.

He did not treat that score as failure; instead, he saw it as a small light in the dark. That improvement gave him confidence.

While these platforms help us keep in touch with friends and see the world, many are starting to ask: are we really benefiting, or is it doing more harm than good? On the one hand, supporters argue that social media is a powerful tool for learning and connection. It allows young people to access news instantly, join online study groups, and learn new skills from tutorials. It also helps shy students make friends online more easily, reducing loneliness. For example, during the pandemic, it was the only way for many to stay connected with classmates. On the other hand, critics point out serious problems. The biggest worry is its effect on mental health. Seeing the perfect lives others post can make teens feel anxious and unhappy with their own. Comparing themselves to others online often leads to low self-esteem. Moreover, the “like” and “comment” features can become addictive (上瘾的). Teens may spend hours waiting for others’ approval instead of talking to family or playing outside. This can harm their real-life relationships and physical health. A recent survey showed that teens who spend over 5 hours a day on social media are 50% more likely to report feeling unhappy. In conclusion, social media itself is not good or bad—it’s how we use it that matters. It is like a knife, useful in the kitchen but dangerous if used wrongly. The key is to find a balance. We should encourage young people to use it for creativity and learning, not just for endless scrolling. Parents and schools need to teach digital literacy: how to use these tools wisely, how to tell real information from fake, and most importantly, when to turn off the phone and enjoy the real world. 21. According to Paragraph 2, which is NOT mentioned as an advantage of social media? A. Getting news quickly. B. Helping shy students make friends. C. Learning skills from online videos. D. Improving family relationships. 22. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The benefits of online study groups. B. The problems caused by social media. C. The popularity of different platforms. D. The way to improve mental health. 23. Which of the following would the author probably agree with? A. Teenagers should never use social media. B. The advantages of social media outweigh the disadvantages. C. Learning to use social media wisely and moderately is important. D. Social media is the main cause of all teenage problems. B You may have heard grown-ups talking about something called self-care. It’s about learning to look after yourself and taking care of your physical and mental health. Counsellor Heidi Soholt is an expert in how people think, feel and behave. She explains that self-care is about taking care of yourself in lots of different areas of your daily life, not just keeping your body healthy. “Self-care is also about things like looking after yourself online and making sure you get a good balance between schoolwork, activities and free time,” says Soholt. Why is it important? “The most important reason you should start taking your own self-care seriously is that it can set good habits for later life,” says Soholt. If you get into good self-care routines now, you’re more likely to carry it on when you grow up. Self-care also helps you learn to cope when things get tricky. “Life can be super busy, especially when, for example, there’s loads of homework. Some things can feel very hard too, like family break-ups or losing people we love. Self-care helps us keep going through the tough times,” explains Soholt. Where do you start? Everyone is different, so what works for your friend might not work for you. Soholt recommends paying attention to when you feel good and noticing what you were doing at the time. “Perhaps it happened when you were playing football or doing gymnastics? This might mean that doing sports could be part of your self-care routine,” she explains. “Spending time with people you like, doing creative things like painting or watching a good film, all these things come under ‘self-care’ too, as long as you don’t overdo them.” Try to get a good balance between things that involve being active and outside and things that are more relaxing, like reading, drawing or writing in a journal. Remember, taking time to take care of you isn’t selfish, it’s an important part of learning to look after yourself. 24. Which activity is proper self-care according to Soholt? A. Surfing online all day long. B. Filling all free time with schoolwork. C. Drawing and hanging out with friends properly. D. Practicing sports until you feel tired. 25. What benefits can self-care bring us? A. It forms lasting good habits and helps cope with hard problems. B. It avoids family break-ups and the loss of loved ones. C. It saves teenagers from piles of homework. D. It has influences only on young people 26. What rule should we follow when we carry out self-care activities? A. We must take part in outdoor sports every day. B. We should mix active and relaxing activities well. C. We need to finish all schoolwork before relaxing. D. We must do creative things alone without friends. C Do you ignore (忽略) your parents’ advice when chatting with your online friends? For many teenagers, this situation happens quite often. A new study gives explanations for why many teenagers pay less attention to parents’ suggestions. Little kids usually listen closely to their parents’ advice. But things change greatly during teenage years. A new study finds teenagers react more to their peers’ (同龄人) opinions than their parents’. A research team from a university did this research and published their findings in a youth-study magazine. The researchers watched brain activity of teenagers aged 13 to 17. They played different pieces of advice from parents and teenagers’ peers. Those pieces of advice had no clear practical meaning. Scientists used this way to study only the influence of the speaker, instead of the advice’s content. Study results show teenagers’ brain parts are more active when hearing peers’ ideas. It does not mean teenagers purposefully refuse their parents’ advice. As teenagers grow older, their brains get ready for wider social circles outside the family. Just as little kids focus on parents’ words, teenagers naturally pay more attention to people of their own age. Here is the reason. Teenagers are developing independence. They build more social connections outside their home. So their brains start to care more about peers’ opinions. Both teenagers and parents may feel disappointed because of this change. However, it is a natural development step for teenage brains. 27. How does the author begin this article? A. By describing a real story. B. By describing a common situation. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 28. Why did researchers use meaningless advice pieces in the study? A. To make teenagers feel relaxed. B. To test teenagers’ listening skills. C. To study only the influence from the speaker. D. To see whether teenagers can understand advice. 29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The background of the study. B. The results of the study. C. The subjects for the study. D. The preparation for the study. 30. What can be inferred from the study findings? A. Parents’ advice carries no practical meaning for teenagers. B. Teens’ brain activity is only decided by the content of the advice. C. Teenagers ignore parents’ advice on purpose to build independence. D. The change in attention to peers is a natural process rather than a way to fight back. 四、信息还原 When your parents compare you to others, it can damage your self-respect and hurt your relationship with them. But don’t worry—you’re not alone. Here is some advice. Take a deep breath You must be upset when you hear your parents saying you are not as good as your classmates. Taking a deep breath helps you stay calm and allows you to think more clearly before you respond. ____31____ Reflect on the comparison ____32____ Is there any truth to what your parents are saying? Are they doing it out of concern or love, even if their way is not right? Reflecting on the comparison can provide valuable thoughts and help you respond better. Choose the right time and place Pick a time when you and your parents are relaxed. ____33____ Choose a quiet, private place where you can have a conversation without interruption. Express your feelings clearly Start by expressing how the comparisons make you feel. Use “I” statements like “I feel hurt...” instead of blaming (责备) them. This helps your parents understand the impact of their words on you. ____34____ This can make it easier for them to accept your concerns. Build a stronger sense of self Comparisons can lead to negative thoughts and self-doubt. ____35____ It’s really important to know who you are and to remind yourself of your unique qualities and achievements. This helps you counteract (抵消) the negative impact of comparisons and keeps you feeling emotionally strong. A. Give yourself time to consider the comparison. B. Try to change these thoughts into more realistic ones. C. Avoid bringing up the topic during stressful moments. D. Don’t forget to show that you understand and appreciate them. E. This simple act can stop you from saying something you might regret later. F. It is not proper to quarrel with your parents for any reason. G. It is common for parents to have high expectations for their children. 五、综合填空 These days, many teenagers have problems getting along with their parents. You may think your parents never understand you. Sometimes you even argue with them. In fact, there are many ____36____ (different) between teenagers and adults, but that doesn’t mean we can’t understand each other. ____37____ we live in the same family, we often fail to notice how much our parents love us. We are angry easily because of our ____38____ (care), and we hurt their feelings without knowing it. Here is some useful advice. I strongly suggest ____39____ (communicate) with your parents patiently. You can talk with them ____40____ your school life, your dreams and your worries. This is ____41____ useful way to build love and trust. Many teenagers think they ____42____ (lose) their freedom already. Besides, they depend on their parents too much and seldom make decisions by ____43____ (they). However, if you and your parents learn to respect and listen to each other, nothing is ____44____ (possible). Remember that your parents are the people who love you most in the world. If you are kind and friendly, you ____45____ (treat) with warmth and patience in return. Get close to your parents, and you will find family love is the most beautiful in the world. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 常州第二十四中2026-2027学年第一学期九年级英语作业2026. 10 一、单项选择 1.

While these platforms help us keep in touch with friends and see the world, many are starting to ask: are we really benefiting, or is it doing more harm than good? On the one hand, supporters argue that social media is a powerful tool for learning and connection. It allows young people to access news instantly, join online study groups, and learn new skills from tutorials. It also helps shy students make friends online more easily, reducing loneliness. For example, during the pandemic, it was the only way for many to stay connected with classmates. On the other hand, critics point out serious problems. The biggest worry is its effect on mental health. Seeing the perfect lives others post can make teens feel anxious and unhappy with their own. Comparing themselves to others online often leads to low self-esteem. Moreover, the “like” and “comment” features can become addictive (上瘾的). Teens may spend hours waiting for others’ approval instead of talking to family or playing outside. This can harm their real-life relationships and physical health.

For many teenagers, this situation happens quite often. A new study gives explanations for why many teenagers pay less attention to parents’ suggestions. Little kids usually listen closely to their parents’ advice. But things change greatly during teenage years. A new study finds teenagers react more to their peers’ (同龄人) opinions than their parents’. A research team from a university did this research and published their findings in a youth-study magazine. The researchers watched brain activity of teenagers aged 13 to 17. They played different pieces of advice from parents and teenagers’ peers. Those pieces of advice had no clear practical meaning. Scientists used this way to study only the influence of the speaker, instead of the advice’s content. Study results show teenagers’ brain parts are more active when hearing peers’ ideas. It does not mean teenagers purposefully refuse their parents’ advice. As teenagers grow older, their brains get ready for wider social circles outside the family. Just as little kids focus on parents’ words, teenagers naturally pay more attention to people of their own age. Here is the reason. Teenagers are developing independence. They build more social connections outside their home. So their brains start to care more about peers’ opinions. Both teenagers and parents may feel disappointed because of this change. However, it is a natural development step for teenage brains. 27. How does the author begin this article? A. By describing a real story. B. By describing a common situation. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 28. Why did researchers use meaningless advice pieces in the study? A. To make teenagers feel relaxed. B. To test teenagers’ listening skills. C. To study only the influence from the speaker. D. To see whether teenagers can understand advice. 29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The background of the study. B. The results of the study. C. The subjects for the study. D. The preparation for the study. 30. What can be inferred from the study findings? A. Parents’ advice carries no practical meaning for teenagers. B. Teens’ brain activity is only decided by the content of the advice. C. Teenagers ignore parents’ advice on purpose to build independence. D. The change in attention to peers is a natural process rather than a way to fight back. 【答案】27. B 28. C 29. B 30.
