You're at home. You can’t go out because you're busy. But you can't stop checking your phone. What's everyone else doing? Does this sound like you? Then perhaps you have FOMO—Fear of Missing Out.
"Sometimes I see a picture of some friends online, " explains Lucas 16. "They’re hanging out somewhere. I can’t go—maybe I have homework. But it makes me feel unhappy. My friends are having fun and I'm not."

For Grace, 21, her FOMO is a serious problem. "I never read or play sports now, " she explains. "I go out almost every night because I don't want to miss out. Or I sit at home and I read online about what my friends are doing. FOMO kills your interests in your spare time."
Dr. Suzanne Taylor, a psychologist(心理学家), says social networking website are not helping people with FOMO. "They're perfect for communicating with friends and relatives — all over the world. But they're full of pictures of your friends,doing exciting things. Suddenly, other people's lives look interesting and our own lives feel boring."
So how can we fight FOMO? Should we stop using social networks? "That isn't possible for many people,’’ says Dr. Taylor. "But before bed tonight, put your phone in another room. And before you go to sleep, think about the interesting things you're doing this week. And remember how lucky you are.’’

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析
Many people love travelling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world.
Most travellers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if you're travelling in Thailand, never touch people's heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards—but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket.
In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries, a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in South America, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA, you need to give people more personal space. Also, it's rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking.
In restaurants in China, you can leave a bit of food on your plate. It's OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustn't do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that's bad luck.
When you're travelling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, don't forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab family's home, don't admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present.
With so much to think about, it's not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries—or you might just decide to stay at home!

A.Unfriendly B.Friendly.
C.Happy. D.Polite.
3.What does the underlined word “interrupt” mean in Chinese?
