• 1．Graffiti Have you ever written anything on a wall？It's nothing new，and for thousands of years humans have been writing messages on walls，bridges，and buildings as a means of expressing themselves.
  Ancient Graffiti
     Some of the first graffiti artists were the Vikings.You can read some at a prehistoric site in Scotland.The Vikings broke into the burial site about 800 years ago，hoping to find treasure.Unfortunately，there wasn't any；however，the cave was a good place to shelter from the terrible storm that night，where the Vikings left messages on the walls to pass the time.Interestingly，many of the things they wrote are typical of modern--day graffiti，for example， "John made this cross."
  Political Graffiti
     At times，graffiti is used to make political statements.During World War.II，people in occupied Holland painted orange victory "V" signs on walls in major towns.Here's another example： "No more wars! "
  American Graffiti
     During the1970 a new type of graffiti became popular in the States：tagging（标记）.Bands of youngsters slipped away into the streets at night with cans of paint and left their tags on as many walls as possible.Sometimes they also responded to other people's graffiti.Some people see this form of graffiti as an example of urban art；others see it as an example of urban decline.
  British Graffiti
     In Britain，one of the most popular forms of graffiti is known as "toilet graffiti"，which is common on the walls of public toilets all over the country.The graffiti often consists of a funny or rude comment.Occasionally it will be a response to another piece of graffiti，or at other times it will be a political comment.
  
  （1）Why did the Vikings leave messages at the prehistoric site？

  
  A．To relieve their boredom.

     However life was never smooth sailing.The constant jibes（嘲讽）from some people，who always tried to push her down and destroy her hopes，affected her so deeply that she lost confidence. "They were saying I had no talent at all.Gradually，I felt really so. "Wang once wrote.But never did she stop playing.When she was called up to the national team，aged17，Wang thought， "Me？Are you sure？ "When a world-famous club wanted to sign her，she was "excited that an excellent coach thought I was good."

• 3．As the saying goes： The Internet is forever.Once you've put something online-a credit card number，a silly photo，a heat-of-the-moment comment on social media-it an come back to disturb you.
     But what are the risks，rally？ "There are two worst-case situations，" says Richard Klosowski，privacy and security editor of a product-recommendation service. "The most obvious one is a security issue.Everyone's e-mail address and basic details are let out somewhere online，and if you reuse passwords，that means a criminal or immoral person will have an easier time getting into your accounts."
     The problem is getting worse：Identity theft cases more than doubled in 2020，according to a survey conducted by Harvard university，with reported financial losses from fraud （欺诈） overall climbing to ﹩3.3 billion from﹩1.8 billion in 2019.
     "The second worst-case situation is more primal：embarrassment， "says Klosowski.And sometimes the pricks（刺痛）to our pride are far more personal than feeling ashamed over an awful photo. "Many of us store our most intimate thoughts in a digital notes app，draft e-mails we never send，or pour out our private feelings into a direct message to a friend.This is the type of thing that can be disclosed online，either through a provider being ignored or through your own misunderstanding of the often-confusing privacy settings in the software and services. "
     With these sorts of slip-ups，the stakes can be high，But you're not powerless.You can stand up for your privacy and begin to take control，starting right now.

  （2）How did the author express the worsen.conditions of the security issue？

  A．Their private thoughts and feeling get leaked on line.
  B．Their private thoughts are written in an digital notes app.
  C．Their messages are sent with private feeling to their friends.

• 4．In May 2012，Australia's Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone.They called the phenomenon "phubbing"，and defined（定义） it as "the act of snubbing（无视）someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention." It's not the usual way words begin to exist.
     A month later，the first example of phubbing in a major newspaper appeared in a letter to the editor of the Age，published in Melbourne.Since then，the word has appeared in various media the world over.Phubbing has yet to be fully adopted in the U.S.，but we have collected some evidence of it in use.
     On 29 September 2015，James A.Roberts wrote in the Huffininglon Post， "In the present case，phubbing is a combination of the words phone and snubbing.To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company.The 'phubb' could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it （steal glances when they think you're not looking） instead of paying attention to you.Maybe worse，you've been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you.Oh，the shame. "
     The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out.Is it phubbing if you're staring at your tablet instead of your phone？Is the singular noun （and the base form of the verb） spelled phubb，as in the example above，or phub，as in some other sources？These are the sorts of questions we'll need answers to before we're ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry.In the meanwhile，you can of course use phubbing if you feel the need.It seems we all do these days.
  
  （1）What is the focus of paragraph 1？

  
  A．The usage of phubbing.
  B．The birth of phubbing.
  C．The influence of phubbing.
  D．The definition of phubbing.
  （2）What may phubbing probably lead to according to James A.Roberts？

  
  A．Embarrassment in daily communication.
  B．Heavy reliance on cellphones.
  C．Complete ignorance by your friends.
  D．Shame in using cell phone.
  （3）What can we learn from the last paragraph about the word "phubb"？

  
  A．It arouses heated discussion.
  B．It proves to be settled.
  C．It's not included in a dictionary.
  D．It is widely used.
  （4）Which section does the article probably belong to？

  
  A．Science.
  B．Resource.
  C．Literature.
  D．Language.

• 5．Do you compare yourself to other people？Perhaps your best friend received something you really wanted for Christmas，or you're not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is.Comparisons are normal and can sometimes be helpful. （1）

  
     Why does focusing yourself matter？We tend to compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves，but comparing your achievements to your past self （where you started） and your future self （where you'd like to get to） can be more positive. （2）

  .And you will be excited about what you might do.Focusing on your own goals is more rewarding than always trying to come out on top.

  choose a different role model or focus on your own strengths and what you're good at.It can help to boost your self-esteem，and you'll be in high spirits again after doing so.
     Jealousy and envy are ordinary emotions，but focusing on improving your own performance can help you feel successful. （5）
