(2017·山东济南高三高考模拟考试)Social media is one of the fastest­growing industries in today's world.A study conducted by the US Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily.The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers' lives.
●Changing relationships
High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face­to­face communication.“It makes inperson relationships harder because of people's attention given to their phones instead of their friends，” Cooper said.
Yet，some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere.Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long­distance friend through social media.He currently lives in Scotland，but they're still able to frequently communicate with each other.“I can feel close to someone that I'm talking to via FaceTime，”Kaplan said.
●Wanting to be “liked”
The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves.The 19­year­old Essena O'Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect
online.Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager's self­esteem.Teenagers who get negative comments can't help but feel hurt.
●Opening new doors
However，Armin Korsos，a student from Illinois，takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube.“Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that has never been possible before，” Korsos said.

(2017·江西重点中学协作体高三联考)
Dear Max，
Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future.We believe all lives have equal value，and that includes the many more people who will live in future generations than live today.Our society has an obligation to invest now to improve the lives of all those coming into this world，not just those already here.
Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas：advancing human potential and promoting equality.
Today your mother and I are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges.I will continue to serve as Facebook's CEO for many，many years to come，but these issues are too
important to wait until you or we are older to begin this work.By starting at a young age，we hope to see compounding benefits throughout our lives.
As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family，we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to join people across the world to advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation.Our initial areas of focus will be personalized learning，curing disease，connecting people and building strong communities.Over short periods of five or ten years，it may not seem like we're making much of a difference.But over the long term，seeds planted now will grow，and one day，you or your children will see what we can only imagine.
We will give 99% of our Facebook shares—currently about $45 billion —during our lives to advance this mission.We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues.But we want to do what we can，working alongside many others.
【语篇解读】本文是Facebook总裁写给自己孩子的一封信。

Dear_Dick，
I'm_writing_to_share_some_ideas_about_mistakes.Making mistakes is not terrible，but how we handle them does matter.The right attitude towards making mistakes is to admit it honestly and learn from them.Here are tips to help you make fewer mistakes when learning English.Firstly，develop a habit of reading English aloud.Secondly，follow your teachers and focus on the lectures in class.Finally，you should review your lessons，correcting mistakes.
Last term，most of us failed in the English exam.We were shocked，
but afterwards，I surely recognized many mistakes in grammar.Since then
I have paid special attention to those mistakes.Believe it or not，I am
a top student in English in my class.
Wish you great progress!
Yours_sincerely，
Li_Hua。
