My parents don't know Moments very well, and I have told them I don't use it any more. I just need some private space.
— Lu Zhiping, 21 years old
I don't block my parents completely. They are in a certain group in which I only share positive (正面的) posts. I just don't want my parents to worry about me. Last year my parents saw a Moments picture of my hand getting burned while cooking. It was nothing serious but they traveled all the way to my city to make sure I was all right.

According to a recent worldwide survey of Internet users, one out of four says they made their most recent purchase(购买) online and six out of ten say friends’ social media posts influence their online purchases. Those statistics(统计) have now given some users of the “Moments”(朋友圈) function on WeChat the idea of turning their “friends” into customers.
The “Moments” function on WeChat is closed system that allows you to send photos and messages only to your friends. It ensures more privacy(隐私) and it helps you avoid receiving spam(电子垃圾) from sellers. But some users were quick to see the business opportunities of “Moments” and have turned it into a mini-marketplace. They are recommending (推荐) products to their friends and offering to either sell the products directly or act as a middleman(中间商) for the purchases.
One woman told the Shanxi Evening News that she makes money as a middleman, or purchasing agent. She added a few sellers of fake(假的) handbags to her friends list and posts pictures of the handbags. When a friend is interested in buying a bag, they pay her the money and she has the sellers send the goods. “There are zero costs for storage and logistics(物流),” she says, “and I make money simply from the price difference.” It’s a nice business model, but the woman didn’t seem to know that she was doing something against the law by selling fakes to her friends.
Another woman was connected with even more dishonest business. She sold facial masks(面膜) that had “magical” effects to make women’s skin beautiful. Unluckily, the masks caused the faces of some of her “friends” to break out in red spots and pimples(粉刺), and when they asked for compensation, the woman magically disappeared.
Social media is easier to stay connected with friends and to share your experiences with them. And it’s OK to “recommend” something or try to make money from your friends. Turning your friends into customers is a sure way to lose those friends.

A. 25% B. 40% C. 75% D. 100%
2.What does the “Moments” function on WhChat allow you to send to your friends?
A. Only photos
B. Not only photos but also messages
C. Only messages
D. Neither photos nor messages
3.What does the underlined word “compensation” mean?
A. 赔偿 B. 补货 C. 报酬 D. 折扣
4.According to the passage, what will happen if the users of the “Moments” function on WeChat sell products in a dishonest way to their friends?
A. They’ll make more friends.
B. The friendship between them and their friends will come to an end.
C. They will never use the “Moments” function on WeChat.
D. They will lose everything.
