Today, with the increasing use of social media, teachers and students have greater access to one's personal history than ever before.
While social media users in education argue that teacher-student connection on social networks are harmless, Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist (精神科医生) in Beverly Hills, Calif., believes any one-on-one private relationship out of the classroom begs for improper behavior to begin. Iris Fanning, a family-counseling provider ( 家庭关系咨询师) for school districts in Albuquerque, N.M., says major concerns arise when students begin to see teachers as friends. “When I entered education, there was a clear wall of boundaries ( 边 界 ) between students and teachers,” Fanning says. “You still have to have those boundaries, and I think we've got away from that.”
In response to some of the possible threats of social media, some school districts are now limiting after-school dialogue between students and teachers.
“I think teachers should be allowed to add us on social media because that's how we communicate,” says Brown, a high school senior in Ohio, who hasn't befriended any of her teachers on social networks. “But I also think that some teachers would cross the line. I do agree that it needs watching over but they shouldn't be cut off completely.”
Most recently, in Missouri, the state passed Senate Bill 54, which bans students and teachers from having any connections on social media. The bill was created as a strong measure to protect children from entering into improper relationships with teachers. Dave Childers, head teacher at ACEL Fresno Charter High School in California, says it's disheartening to see laws that limit the ability for teachers to connect with students through social media. “We could go as far as saying teachers shouldn’t be allowed to coach sports or advise a club, because when you do that you have extra connections and stronger relationships,” he notes.
1.One-on-one private teacher-student connection may give rise to concerns because it .
A. highlights teachers’ role as friends
B. encourages the threats of social media
C. clouds the necessary teacher-student boundaries
D. places fewer responsibilities on teachers than before
2.Sami Brown would probably agree to in teacher-student connection.
A. ban social media B. move across the dividing line
C. keep an eye on social media users D. heavily punish improper behaviors
3.The underlined word “disheartening” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .

WeChat, the Chinese social media smartphone app, saw an increase in user numbers of 41 percent year on year to 500 million at the end of last year, in a sign that parent company Tencent is extending its reach for the mobile Internet. As one of the largest Internet integrated service providers in China and one of the most Internet users in China, Tencent’s profit grew 24 percent to RMB 20.98 billion per year, slightly higher than forecasts, driven mainly by online gaming profits. It is unclear how much WeChat contributed to Tencent’s profits but the app’s growth is a strong indicator of the company’s long-term health as it tries to adjust its business to be more suitable for mobile devices.
“We extended our leadership in games and online media, and made breakthroughs in emerging platforms such as online security and mobile payments.” Ma Huateng, Tencent chairman, said in a statement. WeChat is the second highest ranked social app in China, behind QQ, Tencent’s another chatting app, which claimed to have 815 million registered monthly users at the end of 2014.
Tencent has been unwilling to earn money through WeChat by flooding it with advertising, which could influence the users’ experience. But this is expected to change. Some analysts anticipated(预期) that advertising would be introduced on a large scale later this year. Early attempts to test ads on the service have not always gone smoothly. After a BMW ad was introduced on some users’ feedbacks in January, many users who were not targeted by the brand’s marketing complained of “discrimination” by Tencent’s data mining algorithm(数据挖掘算法). They claimed it unfairly treated them as not wealthy or successful enough to view the BMW ad.
1.What can we learn from the passage?
A. WeChat is ranked behind QQ in China.
B. Tencent wants to earn more through QQ.
C. WeChat contributed most to Tencent’s profits.
D. More advertising would not be introduced later this year.
2.How did some users feel when a BMW ad was introduced?
A. Uninterested. B. Untouched.
C. Unhappy. D. Unlucky.
3.What’s the best title of this passage?
A. WeChat, a Popular APP in China
B. WeChat, a Smartphone APP in China
C. WeChat, a Profitable APP of Tencent
D. WeChat, a Nonprofit APP of Tencent

It’s often said that the rise of social media has revolutionized (彻底改变) communication. With smartphones and social networking apps, we can write to our family and friends whenever we like. But while social media has brought us convenience, it also has its problems, such as misunderstandings in communication.
Quite often, people misunderstand what’s written on social media. According to a story published on The Conversation on March 8, sarcasm (讽刺), in particular, can be very difficult to notice in a written message.
Sarcasm is a kind of irony (反语): It’s when we say something, but really mean the opposite. For example, a message from a friend the day before a math exam that says “I’m so looking forward to tomorrow!” is obviously sarcasm.
Sarcasm before the rise of social media and mobile phones was mostly used in speech and face to face. That made sarcasm easier, because you could accompany your words with a facial gesture and a tone (语气) of voice that would help others get your message. You had a good chance of being understood and receiving a laugh or an understanding glance.
And yet when we text or write something online, a lot of that information goes missing. “There are no facial hints, no tones or maybe even a delayed response if a person can’t text you back immediately,” wrote The Conversation. “And if you don’t know the person all that well, there goes your last possible hint: history.”
To help avoid misunderstandings, people who use platforms such as Twitter often include the hashtag ﹟sarcasm – although this is like having to explain a joke when people don’t laugh at it, which destroys the point of sarcasm in the first place.
And it isn’t only sarcasm that can get lost in electronic communications. It’s also hard to notice things such as indifference (冷漠).
“One of the problems with digital communication, when it relies purely on text, is that this sucks (抽离) the empathy (情感共鸣) out of the communication. So it can lead to miscommunication,” linguist Vyv Evans, author of The Emoji Code, told USA Today. “This is where emojis come into their own. They put the body language back, so people can better read emotional intent (目的).”
However, even though there are hundreds of different emojis(表情符号) to choose from, there’s still no replacement for good old-fashioned face-to-face communication.
1.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean according to the context?
A.They can’t wait to take the exam.
B.They are well-prepared for the exam.
C.They’re not looking forward to taking the exam at all.
D.The exam might be too difficult for them.
2.What might lead to the words we write online being misunderstood, according to the Conversation?
A.The use of new internet words and phrases.
B.The complicated relationship between people.
C.The absence of facial expressions and tones.
D.Responding to other people too quickly.
3.What does Vyv Evans think is a possible way to avoid miscommunication online?
A.Using emojis, as they can display body language.
B.Expressing fewer personal feelings.
C.Sending voice messages instead of text messages.
D.Using a hashtag before making jokes.
4.What is the article mainly about?
A.The convenience of online communication.
B.Some misunderstandings that come with digital communication.
C.A good replacement for face-to-face communication.
D.Some reasons for the popularity of emojis.

Most of us use the telephone several times a day to talk with friends or make social arrangements(安排). These calls are usually quite easy and require little planning.

It is increasingly popular for Chinese young people to share their experiences on Social media, such as the “moments” (朋友圈) on popular instant messaging service WeChat.
