"I'm going to learn at least one dish each week. You just need to sit back and watch." I got off the phone with my mom and clicked on the TV-box-shaped icon （图标）of YouTube. We were just having a bet about whether I would ever be able to teach myself to cook without her step-by-step guidance.
Technology has revolutionized the way we learn. That was what I believed then. However, after two weeks of watching those instructional videos, the reality of my barely improved cooking struck me in the face. To be honest, the result didn't come off as too much of a shock. Deep down, I had always known that perfection relies in no small part on endless hours of meaningful practice.
I am not alone in experiencing this type of failure. With an impressive variety of online resources at our fingertips, it is natural that we use them to our advantage and learn new skills through "watching" them.
There's nothing ineffective about this kind of learning in itself. However, a recent study published in Psychological Science shows that if you watch an expert performing a skill unknown to you for too long, it will raise your self-confidence in a way that it arouses （激发）your unrealistic expectations of yourself. The dissonance between your true ability and your false view of it can have a negative influence on your learning outcome. You might become as discouraged as I was. And if your determination isn't strong enough, you might just give up halfway.
If right now you are considering learning something new through watching online videos, be it juggling pins （杂耍），ice-skating, or even Michael Jackson's timeless moonwalk, don't forget to mix it up with the tried-and-true method of practicing and repeating. And most importantly, try not to get caught up in the feel-good act of watching.
1.What do we know about the author?
A.She knew her failure resulted from lacking practice.
B.She was astonished at her failure to be a great cook.
C.She disagreed with her mom on how to cook.
D.She was misled by some so-called experts.
2.What's the author's opinion of online resources?
A.They are of poor quality.
B.They are helpful in a way.
C.They are difficult of access.
D.They have benefited her a lol.
3.What does the word "dissonance" underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Dislike. B.Disbelief
C.Disapproval D.Disagreement.
4.What does the author mainly intend to show readers?
A.Online videos are growing in popularity.
B.Mom is always a good example for us.
C.Watching doesn't make you perfect.
D.Cooking is a useful skill.

The Good and Bad of Online Communication
Our need to communicate with each other is a constant driving force for new inventions.Online services and products are where most development in communication is happening. Now there are increasing options for when, where and how to communicate, and perhaps most importantly, with whom.
1. Nobody can see who they are or what they look like. Many people who are shy feel confident online. One user noted that everyone is equal online and this cannot be found in face-to-face meetings. When you meet someone in person, you immediately make judgments based on appearance. 2. Online, however, appearance, age and status all become unimportant, and this encourages users to be open and honest, which makes it a lot easier for people to make friends.
Apart from making friends online, the Internet can bring together like-minded people who want to discuss favourite topics. There are forums and chat rooms for just about any hobby, interest, special abilities or unusual taste you can imagine.
3.
Some people spend so much time on the Internet that they become totally dependent on it. Psychologists and social scientists worry that if people spend more time with computers than with other people, they will forget how to get on with people face to face. Apart from dependency, there are other objections and worries about the Internet. 4. Being open and honest with complete strangers, then arranging to meet them without friends or family knowing about it is very dangerous behaviour. Even when the worst dangers do not happen, simple lies can leave people disappointed. Then there is the problem of information being stolen. The Internet has led to a new type of criminal, cyber-criminals, who could easily take your information and could even be using your identity and password.
5. Most users seem to think it is.
A.Whenever or however you use the Internet, hackers will be a constant threat.
B.With all these dangers, is going online to communicate really worthwhile?
C.People love the freedom of the Internet.
D.However, going online also has a dark side.
E.Even a person's accent or choice of shoes forms a certain impression.
F.Most users said that going online had improved their lives.
G.Not all people seeking relationships online have innocent intentions.
