    How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?

    Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.

    In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.

    According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.

    So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?

    Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.

    In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

    In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.

    “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.

    1.You may find this text in a magazine about ____.

    A. technology B. education

    C. entertainment D. social life

    2.Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?

    A. People who are living with their parents.

    B. Those who lack social recognition.

    C. People who are the focus of attention.

    D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.

    3.We know from the last paragraph that ____.

    A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time

    B. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions

    C. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite natural

    D. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals

    4.What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”?

    A. worried. B. objective.

    C. critical. D. supportive.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意：看清楚题号，填涂在答题卡的相应位置上)。短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。

    Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look . 1..

    The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and part of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. 2..

    But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.

    3.. “We do not want to kick fashion out.” the headmaster

    explained, “but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.

    4.. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 5.. “I don’t really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter, when dressed like that, it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”

    A．But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.

    B．A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.

    C．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.

    D．Most students have simply ignored the request.

    E．Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request simply for practical reasons.

    F．Requests.

    G．Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.
