Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found.
Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or distorted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and embellished about an exotic holiday or their job.
The most common reasons for women to write “fibs” included worrying their lives would seem “boring”, jealousy at seeing other people’s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.
Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to “stay connected” on social media, they can in fact “paradoxically” be left “more isolated”. They also said that the “more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel”.
According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to “dishonesty” on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage.
Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week.
Nearly 30 percent of women lied about “doing something when I am home alone”, almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their “relationship status”.
“We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling,” said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist.
“Omitting the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our `friends` online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized with(與…產(chǎn)生共鳴), resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others.”
The survey was commissioned by Pencourage, a new anonymous “diary-style” social media website.

Music is one of the oldest arts. People 5 started to sing as soon as language 6 Hunting tools struck 7 may have been the first musical instruments. By about 10000 BC, people had 8 how to make flutes (長(zhǎng)笛) out of hollow(空的) bones.

Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten 41 users has already been 42 because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to 43 lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while 44 , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a 45 path while trying to 46 in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens 47 up instructions to avoid stepping on 48 colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five 49 because they were so busy with their phones.
“In 50 life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is 51
to go unnoticed by people 52 and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the 53
of phones to make texting on the move 54 . That could 55 easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is 56 people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57 a lot of people in business are 58 to carry a mobile phone and be in 59 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls 60 , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation. I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mom was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to help her! I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun. There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side. “Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the whole story. “My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said. He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (轉(zhuǎn)移).” A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said. 41.What did the author’s daughter want to do?

For some areas, that means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song. But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”. During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities. In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”. In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child. Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it. 49. The underlined sentence “For some areas, that means snow.” probably means _____ .

In 2002, former England international footballer Jeff Astle died aged 59. A coroner (驗(yàn)尸官) said that Astle died from a brain disease likely to have been caused by “repeated small damages to the brain” related to heading a heavy leather football. Dr. Scott Delaney, research director of emergency medicine at McGill University Health Center in Montreal, Canada, has also researched soccer-related head injury and agrees that head-to-head or elbow-to-head blows are the real risk. In 2007, Delaney carried out a study on footballers aged between 12 and 17 that showed they were half as likely to be concussed (使腦部受到震蕩) wearing headgear (帽) than without. He said youngsters have a higher risk of head injury than adults because their heads are thinner and less able to absorb shock. To make matters worse, their neck muscles aren’t as well developed and they often lack the correct heading technique that can help throw away the force of the ball. Delaney recommends that children wear headgear when playing football and says his two eldest children wear head protection playing the sport. But he admits that children can be unwilling to be the first to wear head protection—especially when their football heroes play without it. While headgear can protect footballers from being concussed during a match, no one knows the long-term effects of repeated “sub-concussive” blows to the head. Delaney says that while there is indirect evidence that a career in soccer can lead to dementia, no one has yet found a sure link between the two. He says proving a link would mean monitoring hundreds of footballers for three or four decades—and that would take a lot of funding. 57.Which might be the best title of the passage?
58.According to Delaney’s research, what is the most risky injuries to head?
59. Children are unwilling to wear headgear because they think _____ .
60.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____ .

Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (準(zhǔn)則) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school. 65. So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you. 66. Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience. The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 67. In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 68. 69. Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.
E. So students take massive amounts of loans, which can take decades to pay off. F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience, community service or travel. G. The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody, especially if you move away from home. 【答案】 70.F 71.C 72.E 73.D 74.G 【解析】 略 【題型】其他 【適用】較難 【標(biāo)題】20102011學(xué)年吉林省長(zhǎng)春十一中高一下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)題 【關(guān)鍵字標(biāo)簽】Are You Ready for College?,學(xué)習(xí)類(lèi) 【結(jié)束】 17【題文】閱讀下列每個(gè)句子,根據(jù)空白處的漢語(yǔ)提示,填入適當(dāng)詞匯。每空僅限一詞。 75.Now the government is paying more attention to _____ (農(nóng)業(yè)). 76.W out!

Finally, we reached an agreement and immediately began to make preparations for the afternoon’s activities. At 2:00 p.m., we went to the neighboring community to hand out leaflets, calling on people to save water. Around 3 o’clock, the expert we invited gave an excellent speech on the current water crisis in China. He talked about the drought in the Southwest and the severe shortage of water in our city. The speech had a strong appeal to all the people present, including me. After the speech, we had a discussion with our neighbors about various ways of saving water in our daily life. I suggested turning off the water tap immediately after using it, and a granny came up with the ideas of reusing the water from kitchen, for example, the water after washing fruits and vegetables can be used to water flowers and so on. Today, I have had a better understanding of the importance of saving water and really learnt a lot about saving water. 【解析】 略 【題型】書(shū)面表達(dá) 【適用】較難 【標(biāo)題】20102011學(xué)年吉林省長(zhǎng)春十一中高一下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)題 【關(guān)鍵字標(biāo)簽】世界水日 【結(jié)束】 |

“The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.”—Thomas Macaulay
One day, some thirty years ago, Mrs. O’Neill gave us a test to our class. When the papers were marked, she discovered 12 boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test. There is nothing new about cheating in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to remain after class. I was one of them.
Mrs. O’Neill asked no questions, and she didn’t scold us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the above words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
It was the most important single lesson of my life. Thirty years later, the words still seem to me the best yardstick, because they give us a way to measure ourselves rather than others.
