The phrase "The early bird catches the worm" may be true.It means people who wake up early get more done than people who don't.Another saying is, "Early to bed,early to rise" makes a man healthy,wealthy,and wise." Scientists have found that people who go to bed before 11:00 p.m.may do better in life than people who sleep around 2:30 a.m.
   The researchers are from Birmingham's Centre for Human Brain Health in the UK.Their research showed that people who slept and rose early (early birds) had an advantage over people who slept and woke up late(night owls).There were differences in the brain function of early birds and night owls.
   The scientists tested 38 people in their research.The people answered questionnaires about their sleeping pattern and when they felt tired during the day.They were then put into an early bird or night owl group based on their answers.
   All of the people had MRI scans on their brain and did different tests throughout the day.The researchers said there were big differences between the two groups.The early birds said they felt less sleepy and were able to do the tests quicker than the night owls.The researchers said, "Night owls during school have to get up earlier,then they go into work and they have to get up earlier,so they re constantly having to fight against their bad life habits."

  • 2.People in Brazil mark Carnival(狂歡節(jié))every year and it is considered to be one of the most important national holidays.It is not about a big moment in history or a famous person,but it is important for the people because it is a time of friendship,freedom,and many days without work.People can choose between parties and rest.Most people choose parties,day after day,night after night.
       Carnival is celebrated forty days earlier than Easter,but it is not recognized by the church.It lasts four days and four nights.People put on their holiday clothes and go out into the streets or to clubs to enjoy themselves together.
       There are also some celebration activities.For instance,samba schools make a parade showing their music and beautiful cars.They are followed by people.Every year the parade tells a different story,and each city has one or more schools like this.
       In the south the celebration of Carnival comes back to normal by Wednesday.The problem is that it is not recognized by the church in the northwest where the Carnival is more traditional.There,people do not respect its end and continue to party until the next Sunday.
       Carnival is my favorite holiday,but I do not agree that the party should keep going.Like at other popular parties,people drink,dance and have fun.Unfortunately,some people are not very responsible and give it a bad name,leaving a bad impression of this holiday,but it is the only national holiday that brings the whole country and its different people and cultures together.

  • 3.What Is Social Media? Not many people ask the question "What is social media?" anymore.Social media has been around for years now,and most of us would probably describe it as any Internet medium that can be used to share information with others,including blogs,forums,applications,games,websites and other stuff.
       But let me ask you this:what exactly is so "social" about sitting before a computer setting up a blog and blogging for days without anybody reading it,or scrolling through your Facebook feed of information from 500 friends you barely know?If you ask me,it can be way more antisocial than anything.
       Social media is not a "thing".It's not just Facebook,WeChat and Weibo.It's more of a frame of mind and a state of being.It's about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life.However,we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually tear apart those relationships.
       Social media isn't about numbers.When someone says "social media",web giants like Facebook,Twitter,WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds,often because they have more updates,more friends,more followers,more links,more photos and more everything.We tend to get distracted by the number game,thinking "volume,volume,volume".It leads to a lot of meaningless noise and information overload.As the old saying goes,quality over quantity is usually the way to go.So,social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly spreading lots of information.
       Social media needs to have an "IRL" factor—an Internet slang standing for "In Real Life".It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline.After all,social media shouldn't be an end in itself.It was built to enhance your actual social life,in real life.Take for example an event that a person attends because he is invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page.Something like that definitely has the IRL factor.Likewise,a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that they feel the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.
       So,is it really considered to be social to spend an hour scrolling through photos on Weibo,with no thoughtful or emotional effect and no interaction with others?In fact,there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists.Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing.It's all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may be.

    (1)What does the underlined phrase "tear apart" in Paragraph 3 mean in the text?

    A.Destroy.
    B.Change.
    C.Continue.
    D.Strengthen.
    (2)The writer thinks that social media should be
    .
    A.a number of websites where people communicate
    B.a set of social tools like Facebook,WeChat and Weibo
    C.a collection of online applications where ideas are exchanged
    D.a group name for online platforms used to strengthen meaningful relationships
    (3)According to the author,which of the following cases has an IRL factor?

    A.Updating Facebook on a regular basis.
    B.Following new friends in real life on Facebook.
    C.Visiting a museum with friends after reading a story on Weibo.
    D.Reading Twitter to see what other people are doing and thinking about.
    (4)What is the authors purpose of writing this article?

    A.To explain the importance of social media.
    B.To inform the negative effects of social media.
    C.To call on readers to use social media to promote real social life.
    D.To encourage readers to interact with others in real life more often.
