The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords (流行术语). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called “click bait”.

A headline on Business Insider reads:“This phrase will make you seem more polite”. First, when you click through, you find another headline:“Four words to seem more polite”. Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're “Wow, that sounds hard”. On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as “Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus”. It turns out that it's just some uneventful dog footage (连续镜头).

Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet (推送) click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people's time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media. The Twitter account @ SavedYouAClick, run by Jake Beckman, is one such example.

Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click?saving comment. For example, CNET tweeted “So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but ...”, with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached: “...it hasn't been jailbroken yet.”

Since founding the account, Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131,000 followers. Beckman said,“@ SavedYouAClick is just my way of trying to help the Internet be less terrible.” Asked about his goal, he said,“I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.”

1.The article on Business Insider turns out to be________.

A.useful suggestions on politeness

B.an essay about another topic

C.an article hard to understand

D.a link to a video website

2.Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines?

B.Readers have questions to be solved.

C.Such headlines are fairly attractive.

D.There're always stories behind them.

3.Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to ______.

A.criticize CNET

B.save readers' time

C.advertise Apple's new product

D.tell readers something about iOS 8

4.In the last paragraph, Beckman appeals that ________.

A.publishers should be more responsible for the link

B.readers think about their needs before reading

C.publishers provide more information for readers

D.people work together to make the Internet less terrible

I was on vacation, and in my mind, vacation does not mean setting my hotel room alarm clock for 6 am. But when you’re in Aruba and hoping to reserve a beachside palapa(简陋草棚), that’s exactly what you do.

Tourists begin lining up at the crack of dawn to secure these umbrella-like wood structures that are covered with dried and woven palm leaves. They then place towels on chairs and call them theirs for the day, whether they remain there or not. I knew nothing of this beach code of ethics on my first day in Aruba. I saw an empty chair covered with a towel and took it. It was a big mistake.

For many visitors, a week bathing in the sun is the only activity they wish to pursue. It sounded good to my girlfriend, Barbara, and me after Boston’s awful winter. Six more inches of snow was predicted on the day we left. The sun, the sand, and the beach seemed just about right.

Aruba’s slogan is “One Happy Island”, and it doesn’t take long to understand why. Aruba is said to be on “island time”. Translation: No one is in a rush to do anything. When in Aruba, you go with the flow, however slow and lazy that might be.

Cooling trade winds, white sandy beaches, turquoise(蓝绿色)waters, and dazzling sunsets are all good reasons to visit. But this 20-mile island offers more than lazy days walking on the beach. There is amazing night life, casinos, golf, scuba diving(水肺潜水), fine dining, shopping, and a great national park.

But our first day was spent as you’d expect, swimming in the sea and enjoying cool drinks. Our drink of choice quickly became the Coco Loco. It’s as refreshing as it sounds.

1.Tourists get up at 6 am because they _____.

A. want to see the sunrise early

B. need to check out early

C. want to have fun longer

D. need to reserve a beachside palapa

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to ?

A. Using whatever chair you like.

B. Waiting in a long line for a palapa.

C. Taking up a chair by placing a towel on it.

D. Covering a palapa with woven palm leaves.

3.Paragraph 4 shows life in Aruba is very _____.

A. relaxing B. expensive

C. frightening D. disappointing

4.What did the author do on his first day there ?

A. He went shopping.

B. He swam in the sea.

C. He went scuba diving.

D. He visited a national park.
