Nowadays people are facing lots of threats（威胁）all over the world.

A serious threat to farmers in many parts of the world is erosion（侵蚀）.Erosion happens if a large area of land is cleared of trees and is then badly treated by the farmers.The rain and winds may gradually wash away,or blow away much of the topsoil.When this happens,crops of wheat and corn become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well.If erosion continues,it will turn good land into a desert.

In the past,when erosion appeared,farmers sometimes moved to a new place to farm.Sometimes they could not move,but continued to try to grow food in the unhealthy soil.This caused them to sink into poverty.Soon some people realized that there was little rich,fertile soil in the world.The government began to try to stop erosion.

One of the first experiments to stop erosion began in the United States in 1933.The experiment was carried out in the area of the Tennessee River.Flood and bad farming in this area had ruined the land that had once been rich.As a result,most of the people living around the Tennessee River were very poor.

The government built big dams across the river and stored the water for use during the dry season,when there was no rain.The government workers also helped the farmers fertilize their soil and to learn new farming methods which could stop erosion.

In the beginning,the farmers were not interested.But soon,good healthy crops began to appear on the land where new methods were used.Ten years after that the crops were extremely good.The great success of this experiment led to similar projects in other parts of the world.

With the development of science and technology,people are trying to get rid of all the threats they are facing. However,it's not an easy job,because at the same time people are polluting their homeland.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Tennessee River area?

A. It was an area seriously affected by erosion.

B. It used to be a poor and infertile land.

C. It often suffered from floods.

D. It has become a model for other parts of the world to follow.

2.In the third paragraph “to sink into poverty” means_________.

A. to become very poor

B. to lose topsoil in erosion

C. to become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well

D. to return into a desert

3.The main purpose of this passage is to tell people________.

Most Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards，fun English- language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened (唤起) when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was puzzled and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories with tears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And that’s why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is one who awoke my interest, and who gave me much confidence .

● Use several devices (设备). Before you can even think about uploading (上传) a selfie on your social networking site, you need to decide which device to use in the first place. Although there are many devices you can use to take a selfie, the best one is a smart phone with front and back cameras. But it doesn’t mean that your other devices can’t come in handy. 2. In the end, all that matters is how well you practice and can get the right shots.

● Catch good lighting and the background. To get a great selfie, you have to pay close attention to the lighting and background. If you’re taking a selfie indoors, the best place to be is facing a window or door where natural light is shining right on your face. This really brightens up the picture. 3.

● Aim for untraditional shots. Try taking a selfie with your pet. 4. One great thing about the selfie is that you don’t need to wait for the right time or place. You can reach out for your camera at once, make a pose, and get a rocking selfie.

Nowadays, we can read almost all “truths” on social media sites. But are they really reliable? Sites such as the micro messaging service Twitter, the social networking site Facebook and the photo-sharing app Instagram might “misrepresent the real world,” according to a study by computer scientists from McGill University and Carnegie Mellon University.

The scientists warn that gathering information about public views and trends from these sites is unwise. There are still large parts of the population who do not take part in social media activities. Also, there's a risk that many social media users are under- represented. Instagram, for example, appeals to younger adults in urban areas while Pinterest is used mainly by females aged 25 to 34. And only 5 percent of Twitter users are over 65 years old, according Io the study.

However, this is not the only issue, according to the scientific team. The design of a website can influence how people behave online, creating what the researchers call “Internet bias.” For example, micro-blogging sites such as Weibo promote “popular” stories. It saves time for some, but it also limits readers' choice of what they see. In the end, many people open those stories and make them more “popular.” But it's not because they choose those stories. Rather, it is because the content is right in front of them.

Besides, it's possible that not everyone on your social networks is real. There might actually be a few fake accounts among them. Fake “bots” pretend to be human and are often included when measuring or predicting human behaviors online.

The findings might be more important than you would think, since many social media studies “are used to inform and justify decisions and investments among the public and in industry and government,” said Derek Ruths, assistant Professor at McGill's School of Computer Science.

If the team is right, you might have to think carefully the next time you say, “It's true, you know; I read it on Weibo.”

1.Why does the author mention Twitter, Facebook and Instagram?

A.Because they are the best social media sites today.

B.Because they are not in favor of the current study.

C.Because the public are sharing truths on these sites.

D.Because information on these sites may not be reliable.

2.How is the passage developed?

A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.

C.By dividing into groups. D.By analyzing cause and effect.

3.Which word can best describe the author's attitude toward information on social media sites?

A.Ambiguous. B.Favorable.

C.Disagreeable. D.Cautious

4.What's the author's main purpose in writing the passage?

A.To analyze why information gathered from social media sites may not be trustworthy.

B.To remind readers of things they should watch out for when using social media.

C.To point out the advantages and disadvantages of social media.

D.To recommend popular social networking sites for readers.
