Read Across America (RAA)is a day held annually on March 2nd that encourages children in every community to read and also encourages parents and teachers to celebrate the joy of reading.

This holiday dates back to May of 1997.This is when a small group of people at the National Education Association (NEA)came up with the idea to create a day of the year that celebrates reading among children.They reasoned that since many school football programs could get children engaged in the sport through pep rallies(鼓舞士气的集会)，then why couldn't the same thing be done for reading?So they decided to turn to a Read Across America program that was officially launched on March 2,1998,and ever since it has continued to grow in size.Today,more than 50 national nonprofit and association sponsors and more than 3.3 million NEA members support the effort every year. This holiday is celebrated in many ways.All over the country,libraries,schools and community centers hold special Read Across America events that promote reading in their communities.Teachers also develop special events on this day to encourage their students to read. The NEA also sponsors reading round tables and has an online store that allows people to buy everything they need for their RAA celebrations.This includes Dr.Seuss hats,RAA bookmarks, special RAA flash drives and even RAA mugs. While recommended student reading lists vary from community to community,there are some books that always seem to pop up.Below is a partial list of some of the books read by elementary,middle sehool and high school students. 24.What inspired NEA to come up with RAA?

C TikTok has reported it will block young users on the social networking platform from using certain beauty filters(滤镜)on photographs.. 脚 The filters allow users to edit photos and do things like making people's skin look clearer,their eyes a little bigger or their lips a little fuller.Some filters also allow users to change their skin colour, and it can be hard to see when a photograph has been edited in this way. People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters.Some of them are created by ? users and others are made by the app.TikTok posted the changes after a report by Internet matters, a children's online safety organisation.The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children's mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain 学 way.This can harm children's self-esteem (and cause worry,experts say. Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn,"If our users don't feel safe,they won't bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn't be the same."One TikTok user told The Guardian in2025 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery(美容手术)after a period of using beauty filters on the app. 葆 Fun filters that allow children to add dog noses or rabbit ears to images will still be OK to use. One problem with the ban(禁令)is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up(注册) 常 to TikTok.The company said it would soon be trying out new machine learning systems that could help find out when users had entered the incorrect age,but it is under pressure to stop under 13s from using the platform by giving untrue dates of birth. Children's safety organisations want all social media sites to do more to make the platforms safe spaces for young people. 28.What will TikTok do about certain beauty filters for young users? A.Test their safety. B.Post their advantages. C.Ban the use of them. D.Increase their users. 29.What is the influence of the beauty filters? A.It encourages creativity. B.It makes children worried.

B.To make readers more interested. C.To warn children to stay away from Internet. D.To introduce cosmetic surgery. 31.What problem does TikTok have with the ban? A.Users might not like it. B.It's hard to check how old users are. C.Users might misunderstand the rule. D.It doesn't receive support from parents. D 雾 Researchers in Australia,who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles,have found that having good friends can help you live longer.An American study of 10,000 students,over a period of 35 years,also found that if you make more friends than the average (person at school,you'll receive a higher salary()in later life.People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully.These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average,teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 "friends"on their favourite social networking site.Adults have 130.So if you believe this research,you might live for a long time and be very rich. 掰 However,according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford,it probably won't make any difference.Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website,each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends.He found that they always communicate with a maximum(最大量)ofl50 people.. Among these 150,Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends.You've most likely known them for a long time;they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them.Then there are ten more friends.Although they're close to you,you may not keep in touch with them every week.Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest.You aren't close.And finally,there's a large group of 100.You see or speak to these people at least once a year,but you don't know them well.Beyond this number,Dunbar 深 says,it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online "friends",try this experiment:First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year.Then remove people you can't remember and,finally,take away friends 脚朗 who you wouldn't mind losing touch with.How many do you have left?How many of these people are actually good friends?According to the research,these are the only people that really matter. 32.What are the studies in the first paragraph mainly about? A.Some useful advice on how to make friends. 爵 B.Some social skills you may need at work. C.The advantages of having a lot of friends. D.The number of friends you should have. 33.What is Robin Dunbar's attitude towards the studies? A.Disagreeable. B.Unclear. C.Hopeful. D.Careless. 34.What does the text mainly want to show? A.It's more important to have good friends than lots of friends. B.Friends are sometimes more important than family. C.There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. 班 D.You need to spend more time with your friends. 高一英语试卷第5页共8页 35.In which part of a newspaper can we read the text? A.Nature. B.Technology.
