How many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?

Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry —-- psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit in the teens’ brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.

So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.

So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves —-- a hard, but a worthy one.

1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 2?

A. deliver　　 B. give

C. prevent　　 D. get

2.What’s the reaction of receiving “likes” on the social network to the brain?

A. The brain becomes more nervous.

B. Some parts of the brain are active.

C. The brain becomes less sensitive.

D. The brain becomes cleverer.

3.Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?

A. the only child.

B. The old who lives happily with children.

C. The young who feels anxious.

D. Teens who want to discover their mistakes.

4.What’s Crocker’s suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?

A. Doing an interesting matter.

B. Working harder than ever before.

C. Having a bigger goal than their self.

D. Not checking your Facebook page in a day.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

How many times have you got upset because someone wasn’t doing his job，because your child isn’t behaving？How many times have you been irritated (恼怒的) when you’ve planned something carefully and things didn’t go as you’d hoped?

This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’s part of the human experiences.

One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic.Actually，I have a lot of these little annoyances—don’t we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.

Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind：see_the_glass_as_already_broken.

See，the cause of our stress，anger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we like，the way we expect them to.Think of how many times this has been true for you.And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong，expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen.And accept it.

One quick example：on our recent trip to Japan，I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do　　 on a trip.I told them，“See it as part of the adventure.”

And this worked like a charm.When we inevitably (不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreign­language subway system，or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea，or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children’s Castle closed on Mondays...they said，“It’s part of the adventure！” And it was all OK—we didn’t get too bothered.

So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day，you might get upset.But things will be different，if you see the glass as already broken，from the day you get it.You know it’ll break some day，so from the beginning，see it as already broken.Be a time­traveler，or someone with time­traveling vision，and see the future of this glass，from this moment until it inevitably breaks.And when it breaks，you won’t be upset or sad—because it was already broken，from the day you got it.And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.

1.The author would probably agree that________.

A．we should control our anger and irritation

B．we must get well prepared for the future

C．optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritation

D．anger and irritation is a natural part of our life

2.The purpose of the author is to________.

A．tell us his own experience in life

B．advise us how to find peace of mind

C．tell us a happy trip he took with his children

D．ask us to see things from both sides

3.By the underlined part (in Para.4)，the author tells us　 to________.

A．get ready for the worst result of things

B．enjoy the process of things

C．expect little from life

D．find the relationship between cause and effect

4.We can learn from the passage that the author________.

A．often gets angry in his life

B．can adjust his state of mind accordingly

C．always expects others to act in his way

D．always　 suffers from his anger and irritation

SALESMAN: Okay. How about getting your father a new wallet?

CUSTOMER: Hmm. How much is that black wallet?

SALESMAN: Oh. It’s only $ 40.95.

CUSTOMER:    7
