It started with a woman,who wasn't doing anything particularly awful,but I just felt unhappy when I looked at the photo on her blog.I couldn't even tell you what exactly the picture was,but I just remember the feeling that came over me：annoyance and unhappiness.

It happened again a few weeks later,a college girl posted a photo,who I remember as not being very nice.Suddenly,I decided that I'd had enough. "I don't need to follow these people on social media.Why am 1 flooding my life with people that make me unhappy？" I unfollowed （取消） her.However,she probably wouldn't even care.No one called me out for cutting off a needless form of communication with someone I didn't actually like.

I went back to the woman's page and unfollowed her,too.And then I began to rid my social media platforms of people who didn't make me happy.

Working as a social media strategist,I find it hard for us women to give up all social media platforms,but I also don't want to be made unhappy whenever I am on them throughout the day.Besides,I like social media when it's a healthy space for me.So instead of the extreme choice of giving it all up,I decided I'd fill my feed with the people and things that made me the happiest.When I realized how much better I felt when I didn't see that blogger post a video that made me roll my eyes or a picture that brought me to tears.I knew I had made the right decision.

Now,my feed fills me with joy when I see my friends post about their vacations and my family with their partners.Social media doesn't have to be the terrible place everyone says it is,but you have to be willing to make the first move to make it that way.

(1) How did the author feel when seeing the photo posted by the college girl？______

A. Excited.B. Surprised.C. Annoyed.D. Concerned.

(2) What did the author do with people on social media？______

A. She said sorry for being away from them.

B. She got rid of those who made her unhappy.

C. She warned them of the danger on social media.

D. She communicated with them frequently on the Internet.

(3) What do we know about the author？______

A. She regards social media as a healthy space.

B. Her job has close connection with social media.

C. Her friends posting vacation photos made her unhappy.

D. She provides friends on social media with happy pictures.

Scientists have proved the idea wrong that women are underrepresented in the science,technology,engineering and mathematics （STEM） industries because of biological differences which affect their math skills.Girls and boys have similar brains and are equally able when it comes to understanding math,according to the study.

The research involved 104 children aged between 3 to 10 years old,55 of whom were girls.The kids watched an educational video featuring math concepts such as counting and addition,while the scientists recorded their brain activity using an MRI scanner.The team then compared all the scan results.According to the data,there was no difference between the children's brain functions or development.And the boys and girls appeared to be equally tuned into the videos.The team also looked at the results of a math ability test taken by 97 children aged between 3 and 8 years old,50 of whom were girls.Both genders performed equally well,regardless of age.

Between 2015 and 2016，women made up only 35.5 percent of STEM students in the US，32.6 percent of masters courses,and 33.7 percent at PhD level.Jessica Cantlon,professor of developmental neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University and senior author of the paper,commented in a statement："Science doesn't folk beliefs.We see that children' s brains function similarly regardless of their gender so hopefully we can redefine expectations of what children can achieve in mathematics."

Cantlon said："Typical socialization can enlarge small differences between boys and girls that can snowball into how we treat them in science and math.We need to be aware of these origins to ensure we aren't the ones causing the gender unfairness."

Alyssa Kersey,postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago and first author on the paper,said in a statement："I's not just that boys and girls are using the math network in the same ways but that similarities are evident across the entire brain.This is an important reminder that humans are more similar to each other than we are different."

(1) How did the researchers know of the children's brain functions？______

A. By using an MRI scanner.B. By asking them questions.

C. By testing their experiment abilities.D. By recording an educational video.

(2) What does the underlined phrase "align with" in paragraph 3 mean？______

A. Vary with.B. Deal with.C. Fight with.D. Agree with.

(3) What causes the gender gap in STEM field according to Cantlon？______

A. The different interests.B. The gender unfairness.

C. The gender imbalance.D. The biological differences.

(4) What does Alyssa Kersey think of the result of the study？______

A. Controversial.B. Significant.C. Unexpected.D. Absurd.

Competition is all around us and it makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker. It can also teach us how to survive in a fast-paced and stressful world.（1） ______ How many of us have seen young boys weeping because their teams didn't win inter-school tournament？How many of us have seen young teenagers cheat just to win？（2） ______ So it's important to develop healthy competition among children.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Get out of my house,you rude,unwanted ，ugly and stupid child!" Aunt Foully shouted as Justin before closing the front door.Justin looked out at the grass that surrounded his aunt's garden.He sighed as he remembered the list of housework that his evil aunt had planned for him after he got home from school.It was just not fair.If his parents had not died,he would not have to spend his entire life with Aunt Foully.Aunt Foully was a woman with crazy,curly,orange hair.She had small,black eyes,a big nose and a mouth so wide that you could have fitted a dining plate in it.Worse still,she had a heart so cold that you would freeze if you went near it.

As Justin dragged himself to school,she felt angry and disappointed.He wanted to express his anger at somebody.He decided that for the whole day,he was going to be rude to everyone,including Madame Bell,who was a little hard of hearing.

As he stepped into the classroom and took his place at the back of the room,he started making loud noise with his mouth,and started throwing paper airplanes at his classmates.Whenever Madame Bell looked back at the class,Justin would stop and pretended to be reading his history textbook.After throwing paper plans at his classmates for ten minutes,Justin started to feel bored.He slowly took an eraser out of his pencil case and threw it at a girl in the first row named Jody.But at that moment,Jody bent down and the eraser hit Madame Bell on her back.Madame Bell turned around quickly but crashed into a water bottle on the table,water and broken glass all over the floor.Madame Bell glared at the whole class,face red with anger,and shouted,"Who threw the eraser？"

All eyes turned to Justin as he sank lower and lower in his seat. "Justin Wang,go to the headmaster's office immediately!" Madame Bell ordered,Justin stood up and went out of the classroom.

Paragraph 1；

Justin walked in the headmaster's office,_______

Paragraph 2；

After the long talk with the principal,Justin went back to his classroom._______
