21．（6分）Even if you don't have to work, eat or sleep, you won't be able to get through all information on blogs and social networks. The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Actually,
much of the information is unimportant, disposable and it distracts us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still, when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams, we may find it hard to concentrate on what we’re doing and we have a tendency to forget what we have consumed anyway.
A new study from Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes (耗尽) your short-term working memory.
Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter (过滤) information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. Erik Fransen, a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this is new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity (容量) for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to put more information in the working memory.
In fact, when you try to process the information like speech or video, you are going to need partly the same system of working memory, so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. And when you try to store many things in your working memory, you get less good at processing information.
It is the periods of downtime of your brain—preferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone—that are needed for memory consolidation (巩固) and transferring important information to your exposure to new information. Besides, you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely, go for a short walk or spend a few minutes listening to music. This will help you improve your capacity to process information and increase your productivity.
1、What can we learn about social media overload from Paragraph 1?
A．It distracts our attention. B．It is beneficial to us.
C．It brings us whatever we want. D．It keeps us informed of everything.
2、Why does your capacity for processing information begin to fall sometimes?
A．Much of the information is unimportant.
B．Y our working memory is a limited resource.
C．Y ou're less good at processing information.
D．Y ou don't make the most of your brain.
3、Which is recommended to relax your brain?
A．Thinking over things carefully. B．Listening to music for a while.
C．Taking enough physical exercise. D．Focusing more on the present.

24．（8分）College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path—or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?
Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an accredited nursing progr am, you won’t be able to take the nursing licensure exam. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.
Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don’t necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant. Although social work majors are most prepared to provide case management services to struggling populations, students who majored in psychology or sociology can be just as qualified.
Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelor’s degree, which demonstrates college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization? If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers. If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy(辩护). You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.
Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn’t the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you don’t know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!
1、To be a customer service manager, college graduates______.
A．need to have related qualities B．should pass a licensing exam
C．are required to major in insurance D．must have relevant experiences
2、What is probably the best title for the passage?
A．Major Ups Your Career
B．Why Your College Major Matters
C．How Important Your Major Is to Your Job
D．Major VS Career: Which Is Right for Y ou
3、The writer thinks that _____________.
A．majors are closely linked to career paths
B．students of science tend to receive higher salaries
C．volunteer experiences help graduates get employed
D．social work graduates have more employment opportunities
4、Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C：Conclusion
A．B．

25．（10分） A new study of 8，000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，
and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won't tell that to their parents.
Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects. 1、What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.
B．Parents should forbid their children's love.
C．Romance is good for young people.
D．Puppy love may bring young people depression.
2、Which of the following is more likely to have depression?
A．Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
B．Y oung people who have a strong sense of selfishness.
C．Y oung girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
D．Y oung boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
B．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
C．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.
D．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.
4、What's the author's attitude towards puppy love?
A．Confused. B．Disapproving.
C．Neutral. D．Scared.
