Ask 9-year-old Annie what the worst thing was that ever happened in her house last year, and she wont tell you that it was her parents divo

9、rcing, although they did. No, what Annie remembers most are the horrible fights leading up to the announcement about the divorce which was, as it turned out, and despite her parents anxiety about telling her, “not that big of a deal.” “I already knew they were not getting along well,” Annie says, “E

10、very night after I went to bed, l would hear my parents fighting.” It made me really unhappy. When they finally decided to get a divorce, all of that stopped.Annies experience is more common than you might think, and there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that “staying together for the sake of

11、 the children” is not all its cracked up to be, and may do more harm than good. According to psychologist Lynn Martingdale, hearing their parents argue is often more stressful for children than separation and divorce, and if you think that your children dont know that theres trouble in family, then

12、youre kidding yourself. The home life of children whose parents have an unhappy marriage is often far from ideal, and whats worse, parents will compound the problem by taking their unhappiness out on the children.The Center for Moving Forward conducted a study in 2014 in which they followed 25famili

13、es whose parents had been in marriage counseling. After tracking these families for 5 years, they found that the children of the parents who had eventually gotten divorced were not worse off than the children of those who had remained together, and in some cases had fared better.

17、ildren Only When one man offered to take a woman strangers baby so that she could rest on a recent flight, many people on the plane watched it.“It was so touching,” one passenger, Andrea Byrd said. She shot a photo of the man carrying the baby up and down the aisle（通道） and posted it on Facebook, whe

18、re its since gone viral.“I was in tears,” Byrd wrote in the post, which has been shared almost 100,000 times. “Not because he was white and she was black. but because it showed me today that there are, still good people out there in a world full of evil.”The Southwest Airlines flight was heading fro

19、m Minne- apolis to Atlanta on September 5.The mom, Monica Nelson, who is pregnant, said she had been nervous about traveling alone with her 20- month-old son Luke. When he grew annoyed and wouldnt rest, the man seated next to them surprised her by offering to help, she said. He walked up and down th

20、e aisle holding the boy, soothing him to sleep.“It was such a relief because I was a little worried traveling with him without my husband there to help out,” said Nelson, a teacher who lives in Atlanta. “Im still very grateful- he was so kind.”She said the mans name is Rcid, and she learned that he

21、also has a son named Luke.Byrd said she was particularly touched by the scene because she has two children of her own and could put herself in the moms shoes. Now their story has touched thousands of people across the world, reminding people how powerful a simple act of kindness can be.“Its good to

BHe is kind to Andrea Byrd.CHe prefers to post photos

25、online. DHe loves helping pregnant women. Nowadays, we can read almost all “truths” on social media sites. But are they really reliable? Sites such as the micro messaging service Twitter, the social networking site Facebook and the photo-sharing app Instagram might “misrepresent the real world,” acc

26、ording to a study by computer scientists from McGill University and Carnegie Mellon University.The scientists warn that gathering information about public views and trends from these sites is unwise. There are still large parts of the population who do not take part in social media activities. Also,

27、 theres a risk that many social media users are under- represented. Instagram, for example, appeals to younger adults in urban areas while Pinterest is used mainly by females aged 25 to 34. And only 5 percent of Twitter users are over 65 years old, according Io the study.However, this is not the onl

28、y issue, according to the scientific team. The design of a website can influence how people behave online, creating what the researchers call “Internet bias.” For example, micro-blogging sites such as Weibo promote “popular” stories. It saves time for some, but it also limits readers choice of what

29、they see. In the end, many people open those stories and make them more “popular.” But its not because they choose those stories. Rather, it is because the content is right in front of them.Besides, its possible that not everyone on your social networks is real. There might actually be a few fake ac

30、counts among them. Fake “bots” pretend to be human and are often included when measuring or predicting human behaviors online.The findings might be more important than you would think, since many social media studies “are used to inform and justify decisions and investments among the public and in i

31、ndustry and government,” said Derek Ruths, assistant Professor at McGills School of Computer Science.If the team is right, you might have to think carefully the next time you say, “Its true, you know; I read it on Weibo.”12Why does the author mention Twitter, Facebook and Instagram?ABecause they are

32、 the best social media sites today.BBecause they are not in favor of the current study.CBecause the public are sharing truths on these sites.DBecause information on these sites may not be reliable.13How is the passage developed?ABy giving examples. BBy making comparisons.CBy dividing into groups. DBy analyzing cause and effect.14Which word can best describe the authors attitud
