“They lk natural, and birds think that they're fd," Tunnel l said. ·Birds, fish, sea turtles and ther sea animals can eat nurdles and finally die frm hunger because f a false sensatin f fullness and lack f nutritin.”
I ended up finding 123 nurdles in 10 minutes. That's high cncentratin,” Tunnell said abut a recent cleanup. “I plan t take thse t an elected fficial and say, 'Lk, these are what I fund n ur beaches here. We need t d smething abut this.). S, it kind f puts in mtin change that can happen."

A recent survey fund children wuld rather be nline influencers than astrnauts. It made headlines and led t plenty f cmplaints abut “kids these days”. Is influencing a prmising career path? The lifestyles we see advertised n scial media are enticing, but under the shining appearance lie uncertain incme, pay inequality, disability and mental health issues.
Successful influencers will be the first t claim that anyne can make it in the industry. Hwever, scial media ecnmy experts uncvered a huge incme gap between successful influencers and everyne else. Fr mst peple trying t becme an influencer, their passin prjects f cntent creatin ften becme free wrk fr brands.
Mst influencers are self-emplyed, ften experiencing incnsistent incme and a lack f prtectin that cmes with lng-term emplyment. The risks f self-emplyment are increased in the influencer industry by an absence f industry standards and little pay tranrency(透明度) Influencers are ften frced t assess their wn value and determine fees fr their wrk. As a result, cntent creatrs ften undervalue their wn creative labur, and many end up wrking fr free.
influencers are als ften at the mercy f algrithms(任由算法摆布) =-- the behind-the-scenes cmputer prgrams that determine which psts are shwn, in which rder, t users. Platfrms share little detail abut their algrithms, yet they finally determine wh and what gains visibility(可见性) and influence n scial media. The threat f invisibility is a cnstant surce f insecurity fr influencers, wh are under cnstant pressure t feed platfrms with cntent. If they dn't, they may be “punished by the birhythm ---having psts hidden r displayed lwer dwn n search results.
Cnstant nline presence leads t an e f the mst cmmn issues in the influence r industry: mental health cncerns. Influencers can cnnect t their platfrm wrkces and audience at any time f day r night, which can lead t them verwrking. Cupled with the fear f nline criticism, it cntributes t mental and physical health issues.
Althugh becming an influence r may lk appealing t mre and mre peple, the industry's dark underside needs t be made visible and imprved thrugh enhanced emplyment regulatin(管理) and industry-led cultural change.
32. What des the underlined wrd “enticing” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Imaginative. B. Similar. C. Traditinal. D. Attractive.
33. What might lead t many influencers undervaluing their creative wrk?
A. Their belief in winning thrugh quantity.
B. Mney paid by the industry is ften hidden.
C. Their eagerness t make their wrk visible nline.
D. There're few emplyment pprtunities in the industry.
34. Why d. the influencers feel stressed accrding t paragraph 4?
A. They are ften punished by platfrms.
B. They have little knwledge f platfrm algrithm.
C. They find it difficult t create new cntent cnstantly.
D. They have t wrk ut the rder f psts t be displayed.
35. What is the authr's purpse in writing this text?
A. T describe the life f self-emplyed cntent creatrs.
B. T stress the imprtance f visibility in the nline wrld.
C. T reveal relatinships between platfrms and influencers.
D. T shw the dark side f wrking as an nline cntent creatr.
