Passage One

Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.

Three billion people, around 40% of the world’s population, use online social media and are spending an average of two hours every day sharing, liking tweeting (发推文)

and updating on these platforms, according to some reports. That breaks down to around half a million tweets and Snapchat photos shared every minute With social media playing such a big part in our lives, could we be sacrificing our mental health and well- being as well as our time? Since social media is relatively new to us conclusive findings are limited. Actually this is a fast-growing area of research, and clues are beginning to appear. Here are some of the findings:

MOON

A good or bad mood may spread between people on social media, according to researchers from the University of California

ANXIETY

Researchers have looked at general anxiety caused by social media, such as feelings of restlessness and worry, and trouble sleeping and concentrating. A study published in the journal Computers and Human Behavior found that people who report using seven

or more than three time as likely as people using less than two platforms to have high levels of anxiety. However, it’s unclear how social media causes anxiety.

SLEEP

Humans used to spend their evenings in darkness, but now we re surrounded by artificial lighting all day night. Research has found the this can reduce the body's

production of the hormone melatonin(褪黑素)which helps sleep.

ADDICTION

A few researchers point out that social media addiction may be harder to resist that cigarettes and alcohol.

It's clear that in many areas, not enough is known yet to draw many strong conclusions.

However, the evidence does point one way: social media affects people differently, depending on pre-existing conditions and personality traits.

Passage Two

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage.

Antibiotics (抗生素)are one of the miracles of modern medicine. They have saved

countless lives. But there's another side to them. The bacteria(细菌)that live in our

body have learned how to outwit many of our most powerful antibiotics. These drug resistant bacteria are called superbugs.

Here's how a bug becomes a superbug. When you take in antibiotic, there could be some bacteria that know how to resist that antibiotic. Those smart bacteria are the ones that survive antibiotics and they flourish. And that's when you get a sharp increase of superbugs. And the more we take antibiotics, the more chances the bacteria have to become resistant to them.

So, in the words of the latest CDC ( Center for Disease Control) report, some miracle drugs no longer perform miracles, but it did come with some good news. The report says the number of deaths and infections caused by germs that resist antibiotics is decreasing. It dropped 18 percent between 2013 and now. And the number of infections caught in hospitals is down.

The bad news, according to the CDC, is that there are still too many germs that resist antibiotics, and that they can be caught anywhere in the community. The report says the answer isn't in developing more powerful antibiotics, but in using them less often. The CDC estimates that as many as one-third of the antibiotics prescriptions given in emergency rooms and doctors' offices aren't needed, but it doesn't entirely blame doctors for this, because it can be hard for them to tell when someone has a bacteria infection, or which antibiotics could be good.
