The idea of anonymous(匿名) social media is stronger than ever. However, there's a debate over the pros and cons of using popular anonymous apps.

Supporters of these apps offer several reasons why they believe the technology is good.

Many people post life events on apps to share with family and friends. However, some of those same people will turn to anonymous sites to ask for life advice when they feel uncomfortable sharing personal details with a friend. According to the economist Michael Heyward, since users are not identified, troubled individuals can find help from a non-judgmental source through apps. Take the popular anonymous app AfterSchool as the example. The app allows teens to speak freely with others about emotional and everyday life worries and problems.

Along the same lines, supporters believe that meaningful conversations can push important subjects to the front because a person is more likely to comment without fear of outcomes. These situations enable people to draw attention to subjects that might otherwise be pushed aside.

One of the goals of using anonymous apps is to encourage the users to post news as it happens. In 2017, a new service that produces articles automatically from users' posts came out. Surprisingly, it is popular-even writers at news companies use it. Some journalists even have started using these apps to report on the tech industry.

However, critics, people who are against the idea of anonymous commenting, see these apps as tools that spread less-desirable behaviors(举止). They reason if the limitation set by social rules is removed, there will be more improper behaviors.

One of the most common criticisms of anonymous social media is how easily a user can post a hurtful comment on an individual. This often puts the victim at the disadvantage of having to prove the statement false. Also, beyond the worry of such posts, there are more serious worries about crimes resulted from anonymous violence(暴力). While there are pros and cons to this debate, it's necessary to realize that anonymity is a hallmark(标志) of our history. As social media becomes a larger presence in everyday life, it's likely this subject will continue to be debated.

1.AfterSchool in the third paragraph is mentioned to ________.

A.stress the bright side of anonymous apps B.encourage teens to use social media more

C.introduce a very popular app among teens D.show the possible problems of social media

2.The writer probably agrees that ________.

B.more rules are needed to make a standard for anonymous apps

C.people need to wait to see whether anonymous apps are really bad

She says: “I simply want people in the city to know where their food comes from,” Li says. “A teacher friend once told me about some students who thought rice grew on trees, ___________.

The sun says he is stronger than the wind. The wind says he is stronger than the sun.

A man is walking down the street with a hat and coat on.

The sun says, “Let’s see who can make the man take off his hat and coat. If you can do that, you are stronger than me.”

Now the wind begins to blow（吹）. But the harder he blows， the tighter（更紧地） the man holds his hat and coat. The wind can’t make the man take off his hat and coat.

Now the sun tries. He shines（照耀） brightly. Soon the man takes off his hat. Then the sun shines more brightly, and the man takes off his coat.

So the wind says, “That’s all. You are stronger than me.”

For people who are interested in space, nothing is more exciting than the idea of living on other planets. That might be why the movie The Martian is so popular. It shows an astronaut living on Mars. But would it really be possible to live on the Red Planet?

While the idea of living on Mars is great, the reality does not look as good. Mars does not have a friendly air for humans. There is very little oxygen(氧气) there. And because it's far from the sun, it is also very cold. The temperature on Mars can be ­62 on average. This is much too cold for humans.

However, scientists say it might be possible to live there even without a good air. Daytime on Mars is almost the same as Earth's. It means there's enough sunlight to grow plants inside safe buildings. However, they would have to grow in soil from Earth. Mars does not have a strong enough air to stop the radiation(辐射) coming from space, which makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil.

The radiation also causes problems for our health. One way we could live there would be to build homes under ground or within the rocks on the planet. This would give humans the protection(保护) from the radiation and also some heat.

When could we live on Mars? NASA is hoping to make some progress within the next 20 years.

1.Which of the following about Mars is TRUE?

A. Its air is good for humans.　　 B. It has enough oxygen on Mars.

C. It's a little colder than Earth.　　 D. It's not close to the sun.

2.Why is it possible to grow plants on Mars?

A. Because there is enough sunlight.

B. Because the soil is good on Mars.

C. Because it has little oxygen there.

D. Because it has the strong radiation.

3.What's the passage mainly about?

A. How to grow plants on Mars.

B. How to live on Mars without danger.

C. How to keep warm on Mars.

D. How to improve the air on Mars.

Someone once said, “The pen is even stronger than the sword (剑).” Bertha von Suttner believed in peace. She thought that none of the world’s problems could be solved until people learned to live together in peace. She used her pen to tell the world her beliefs.

Bertha Kinsky was born in 1843 to a rich Austrian family. In 1859 she heard about the horrors of war taking place in nearby areas of southern and central Europe. In 1864 she saw a war taking place in her country. The Kinsky family lost its money, and Bertha became a private teacher to the von Suttner family. She left Austria in 1876 to work for Alfred Nobel, a rich factory owner. She soon returned to Austria to marry the Baron von Suttner, but she and Nobel were still friends.

In 1898 Bertha von Suttner wrote a book against war called Lay Down Your Arms. It was immediately popular. In 1891 she started the Austrian Peace Organization. From 1892 to 1899, she was the editor of a worldwide peace magazine. Then, in 1899, she wrote her most famous book, The Machine Age.

Alfred Nobel supported Bertha von Suttner’s work in the peace movement. Before he died in 1896, some of his money was set aside to create the Nobel Prize. Every year since 1901, people who have done important work in sciences, literature (文学), and peace have received Nobel Prizes.　 Many believe that Nobel’s friendship with Baroness von Suttner convinced (说服) him to create the peace prize.

In 1904 Bertha von Suttner won the Nobel Peace Prize. She was the first woman to win the peace prize, and she was the second woman to win the Nobel Prize.

Bertha von Suttner died I June 1914. A week later, World War I began in Europe.

1.Did Bertha von Suttner use her pen to tell the world her beliefs?

2.When did a war take place in Austria?

3.What did Bertha von Suttner do against war?

4.Why did Alfred Nobel create the Nobel Prize?
