I suppose it started when a private message appeared in my Facebook Messenger inbox. It was from a woman I met briefly through a friend. It said: \girlfriend. Want to invite you to join my next challenge group-we'll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise, balanced nutrition and motivation. Let me help you reach your goals!”
I laughed it off and closed my browser(浏览器)but the meaning behind the message stuck with me all day. The more the days went on, the heavier her message weighed on me. The insecurity about my body was brought to life by one little Facebook message. That got me thinking about social media in general and how it took up too much of my time.
I tried to remember what life was like without Facebook. Surfing the Internet was an occasional distraction(分心)and I spent a lot more time reading. I printed out photos and put them in albums. Checking in with friends happened through texts, e-mails or phone calls. Was life easier then than it is now? In an effort to both recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account.
I felt lost at first. However, leaving Facebook left my mind quiet enough to remember a few important things. My body is fine just the way it is: Though fat, I am healthy. My close friends will text or call me if they are struggling. Our happy moments as a family were strengthened because I was completely present and the break left me feeling better about myself, my family and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. I looked in on a daily hams，but only once with little desire to post as much as I once did. Facebook is not an addiction any more.
24. Why does the author mention the woman's message?
A. To introduce a challenge getup. B. To prove the benefit of Facebook. C. To indicate many people care about her. D. To show the effect of social media on her.
- 5 -
25. How did the author feel after reading the message? A. Excited. B. Relaxed. C. Happy. D. Upset. 26. How did the author set a good example for her child?
A. She spent more time reading. B. She shared more with friends. C. She closed her Facebook account. D. She began to work out every day. 27. What can we know about the author?
A. She is unhealthy. B. She looks a little fat
C. She is addicted to Facebook. D. She doesn't like taking exercise.

A recent study shows that the widespread idea that children have different learning styles is of little benefit to children's learning.
The researchers made a questionnaire about people's attitudes towards learning styles. Over 90 percent of participants said they believed in various learning styles. They agreed that some kids pick up information better when it's presented visually, but others physically or by listening. And around half of the people tested said they believed that we are horn with learning styles that can easily he identified and passed down from parents. Despite the long-standing theory，there is no evidence to suggest tailoring a person's learning experience to their self-reported learning style helps them to pick up information, the study found.
Shaylene Nancekivell, a researcher of the study, told Newsweek: “I am very concerned that parent; and educators may he wasting money and time using ineffective learning tools. The popularity of the wrong idea about learning styles means that it is very easy to spend money and time on programs that may not be helping children learn.”
Professor Paul Kirschner told Newsweek: “The real problem is that the theory of learning styles robs children of opportunities to learn by branding them as belonging to a specific group that cannot do certain things. It's also a good excuse for parents to blame teachers and schools for their children's poor study habits and for schools and teachers to blame makers of learning materials.”
Asked to comment on the limitations of the new study, Dr. Angel Urbina-Garcia,

a lecturer at the U. K. 's University of Hull who was not involved in the research, told Newsweek: \is a good study although not outstanding given the small sample(样本).\
28. Which of the following ideas about learning styles is most widely accepted? A. They have been formed since born. B. They can help predict a child's future. C. They can be passed down from parents. D. They differ from person to person. 29. What is Shaylene Nancekivell concerned about?
A. The waste of money and time on improper learning tools. B. The education level of parents and educators. C. The beliefs of participants about learning styles. D. The degree of students' academic devotion. 30. Why does the new study have its limitation?
A. People are paid to collect information. B. Only male volunteers answer the questionnaire.
C. Not many participants are interviewed. D. Age is not considered in the study. 31. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Classifying children to groups may undervalue their abilities. B. The theory of learning styles doesn't help children learn. C. Scientists suggest adjusting teaching methods to learning styles. D. Children get into bad study habits because of learning styles.

Most dog owner; are convinced that their four-legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words.

the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as \seen before.
The MRI scans showed that certain areas of the dogs' brains showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before.

'Me researchers believe this is an important step forward in understanding how dogs process language.
Even more interesting was that the dog's brains showed a higher level of neural(神经的)activity at the sound of unknown words. Ibis is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers assume the dogs may perk up at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters.
