Twitter is a social network that allows users to send and receive short messages, which are called Tweets. Tweets can be up to 140 characters long. You can send Tweets from your computer or even from your mobile phone. While some social networking services like Facebook or MySpace are more complicated, Twitter is quite simple to use. To send or receive messages, you just have to create an account on Twitter. You can only send text to Twitter; images are not allowed.
Twitter users can follow what other people post. It makes you feel that you are a part of someone else’s life. In most cases, Twitter is made up of many small groups of people. Sometimes they can follow each other’s movements. You can post “Hey, I’m going to the pub”, and all of your friends can read it at once. Your messages on Twitter can be private, meaning only your friends can read them or you can make them public, meaning they can be seen by everyone.
Twitter is used for many things. You can post an upcoming event, organize group conversations of just telling the world what you’re doing at the moment. You can also use Twitter instead of sending many short messages to different people. Just post your messages on Twitter and everyone else can see them,
Many people update their Twitter status very often, sometimes even a couple of times an hour. Recently, Twitter has also been used in business. Companies use Twitter to inform people of new products or just to post something that is on sale. Twitter has become very popular. Since its birth in 2006, over one hundred million people around the world have been using it regularly.

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
1.All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except _____.
A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
2.What does the writer think about ads?
A. They are believable.
B. They are helpful to consumers.
C. They are full of misinformation.
D. They are attractive.
3.One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____________.
A. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. to make full use of advertisements
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
4.The author implies that _________________.
A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth

When I was about 12, I had an enemy(敌人),a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like ? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That's just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.
1.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?
A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said.
B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
2.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
3.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B. My Father
C. The Best Advice I've Ever Had
D. My Childhood
