Many of us just laugh it away when they are told incredible(难以置信的) stories about other people, but I have a deep interest in these stories and I prefer to believe they are true. Here’s one I collected from a total stranger.
“Well, I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern Lake overlooking Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park.It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley.My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge in the hope that I wouldn’t miss any beautiful sight down there.
I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks(鹅卵石).I fell on my back, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world (a 2,000 foot drop).In seconds I knew I was going to die.My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed.Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead.My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.
My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt (特技).I tried to tell him

and my mom about the hands that held me back, but to this day they don’t believe me.They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made-up story.”
We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story. I could see a little surprise and happiness on her face.
That’s why I always ask people to share their miracles (奇迹).Each real story makes my days full of hope and gratefulness.

People like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.
People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.”Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good. Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen.“Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative.

People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.
Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”. 24. What is the research mainly about?
A. The ways of makingpeople look better in selfies. B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media. C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies. D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health. 25. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A deep desire to know about something. C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance. 26. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?
A. Ambiguous.
B. Cautious.
C. Disapproving.
D. Supportive.
B. A special need to be more popular. D.Strong determination to improve oneself.
27. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.
A. to win praise from viewers C. to improve relationships
B. to show off their cameras
D. to share good moments
C
If 62 is the number in red on the top of your math test, for most of us, it's a total disaster. Your
- 3 -
entireweek is ruined, and 62 is what races through your head for the rest of the day. If9 is the number of likes onthat cute photo you posted the other day, many will feel rather disappointed.
Our lives have become a constant system of ranks, assessments, and numbers. The days of passingjudgment on others based on personality are gone, and now we judge based on how good a person’snumbers are. We compare ourselves to the numbers of others, such as how low another person’s weight is,how high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer based on quality of character, but quantity of numbers.
In today’s social media consumed society, it has never been easier for people to broadcast theirnumbers to the world. A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can observe the numberof friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you don't have a certainnumber of followers, then you aren’t “cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few people arewitnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate. Twitter and Facebookcan let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone see who you rally are. In the end,self-worth should be based on what you think of yourself, not what the world thinks of you.
So next time you receive a failing grade or you lose a follower, remember that these things cannot andshould not define (定义) you. You are not your numbers. You are a person—a 3-D, living and breathingperson with ideas and creativity and love that the rigidity of numbers cannot represent. You are the thingsyou love and the things you laugh at and the way you treat others. 28. How does the author sound in Paragraph2?
A. Regretful.
B. Conservative.
C. Doubtful.
D. Friendly.
29. According to the passage, teenagers believe it cool to .
A. display their status updates
B. post heir daily doings online D.define their self-worth themselves
C. win recognition on social media 30. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Numbers Make What You Are C. It’s Your Number That Matters
B. You Are More Than a Number D. Let’s Stop Sharing Our Numbers
