Nwadays, we can read almst all "truths" n scial media sites. But are they really reliable? Sites such as the micr-messaging service, the scial netwrking site and the pht-sharing app Instagram might "misrepresent the real wrld", accrding t a study by cmputer scientists frm McGill University and Carnegie Melln University.
The scientists warn that gathering infrmatin abut public views and trends frm these sites is unwise. There are still large parts f the ppulatin wh d nt take part in scial media activities. Als, there's a risk that many scial media users are under-represented. Instagram, fr example, appeals t yunger adults in urban areas while Pinterest is used mainly by females aged 25 t 34. And nly 5 percent f the micr-messaging service users are ver 65 years ld, accrding t the study. Hwever, this is nt the nly issue, accrding t the scientific team. The design f a website can influence hw peple behave nline, creating what the researchers call "Internet bias". Fr example, micr-blgging sites such as Weib prmte "ppular" stries. It saves time fr sme but it als limits readers' chice f what they see. In the end, many peple pen thse stries and make them mre "ppular". But it's nt because they chse thse stries. Rather, it is because the cntent is right in frnt f them.
Besides, it's pssible that nt everyne n yur scial netwrks is real. There might actually be a few fake accunts amng them. Fake "bts" pretend t be humans and are ften included when measuring r predicting human behavirs nline.
The findings might be mre imprtant than yu wuld think, since many scial media studies are used t infrm and justify decisins and investments amng the public and in industry and gvernment, accrding t Derek Ruths, an assistant prfessr f Cmputer Science at Mc Gill University.
If the team is right, yu might have t think carefully next time yu say, "It's true, yu knw; I read it n Weib."
4. Why des the authr mentin the micr-messaging and Instagram?
A. Because they are the best scial media sites tday.
B. Because they are nt in favr f the current study.
C. Because the public are sharing truths n these sites.
D. Because infrmatin n these sites may nt be reliable.
5. Hw is the passage develped?
A. By giving examples.B. By making cmparisns.
C. By dividing int grups.D. By analyzing causes.
6. Which wrd can best describe the authr's attitude tward infrmatin n scial media sites?
A. Ambiguus.B. Favrable.C. Disagreeable.D. Cautius.
7. What's the authr's main purpse in writing the passage?
A. T analyze why infrmatin gathered frm scial media sites may nt be trustwrthy.
B. T remind readers f things they shuld watch ut fr when using scial media.
C. T pint ut the advantages and disadvantages f scial media.

Arund seven ut f every ten Americans wh wrk in ffices d their wrk in an pen envirnment, defined as at desks withut meaningful partitins (隔板), accrding t an Internatinal Facility Management Assciatin survey. That is, if they even have a desk- wrkers may be assigned nly a few feet f a cmmunal (共用的) table. The pen-plan ffice space trend, ppularized by creative agencies and technlgy start-ups, went mainstream because f the belief that pen-space envirnments supprt innvatin. Mre nearness between emplyees, the thinking went, wuld create mre interactin and teamwrk, prmte scial interactin and urge prductivity.
But in fact, purely pen-plan ffices have been shwn t have the ppsite effects, creating s much distractin (分心) that emplyees stayed away frm each ther. A study funded by Harvard Business Sehal, the results f which were published last year, tracked what happened when a British cmpany mved its emplyees frm traditinal ffice space, with ffices with walls, t an pen ffice. Face-t-face interactin became less — emplyees spent 72 percent less time interacting with their clleagues. Instead f talking mre with each ther, the emplyees put n headphnes and began cmmunicating by text and email. As digital cmmunicatin channels surged, prductivity declined.
Neurscience als hlds sme clues as t why the tight quarters in cmmunal wrk spaces- where wrkers are nly given abut half the space they were given a decade ag- are s hard t wrk in. “The human vice sets ff the mst pwerful emtinal respnse in ur auditry (听觉的) experience. Vice abve 55 decibels (分贝) — rughly the sund f a lud phne call- causes measurable stress, ” accrding t a Wall Street Jurnal article, “The Neurscience-Optimized Office”. “Even mre trublesme are verheard ‘halfversatins’, in which the listener nly knws abut ne side f a dialgue; ur brains autmatically imagine the ther, ” wrte authrs Jhn Medina and Ryan Mullenix.
But the slutin, say experts including Newprt, isn’t t g back t putting everyne int ffices with walls.
8. What can we learn abut the pen ffice trend accrding t paragraph 1?
A. It allws 10 peple at mst t wrk tgether.
B. It is believed t stimulate wrkers’ creativity.
C. It is nly ppular with new technlgy cmpanies.
D. It is aimed at prmting wrkers’ scial interactin.
9. What des the underlined wrd “surged” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Suspended timely.B. Became useless.
C. Cst less.D. Increased quickly.
10 What makes an pen ffice hard t wrk in?
A. Hearing endless nisy phne calls.
B. Shwing real emtins publicly.
C. Facing cmmunicatin barriers at wrk.
D. Hearing part f a dialgue between clleagues.
11 What will prbably be discussed in the fllwing paragraph?
A. What are benefits f the pen ffices with walls.
B. Why the pen ffice makes wrkers distracted.
C. Hw t deal with the disadvantages f the pen ffice.
D. Hw t draw wrkers’ attentin t their clleagues nearby.

Recrd sea ice lss caused a mass die-ff f emperr penguin chicks in part f Antarctica last year, strengthening predictins that the wrld’s largest penguin will sn be in danger f extinctin.
Unlike ther penguins, emperrs breed (繁殖) n sea ice rather than land.Male emperr penguins hatch the eggs during the Antarctic winter. The furry grey chicks need stable sea ice until December t grw their black waterprf feathers and gain enugh muscle t swim. If they g int the water befre they develp feathers, chicks can drwn r freeze t death.
In February, the area f sea ice arund Antarctica reached the lwest extent ever bserved. After much f the ice began breaking up late last year, fur ut f five habitats in the hard-bit central and eastern Bellingshausen Sea suffered a ttal breeding failure, with n chicks surviving t the feather grwing perid. In mid-Nvember, the sea ice there brke up, frcing the penguins t abandn the habitat and mst if nt all f their chicks.
A research team frm Oxfrd Brkes University mnitred ppulatins by sptting penguin faeces (排泄物) in satellite phts. Emperr penguins tend t stay clse, walking in a tight grup t stay warm in temperatures as lw as -60°C.The buildup f the habitat’s faeces stains the ice s brwn that it can be seen frm space. Once a habitat has been identified, researchers can cunt the individual penguins in very high-reslutin satellite images.
The bservatins add weight t mdelling predictins that 90 percent f emperr penguin habitats culd be extinct r past the pint f n return by 2100 if current rates f warming cntinue. While habitats can lse chicks in heavy strms r when severe winds break up the sea ice, this is the first-time widespread breeding failure has been linked t disappearing ice.
“Failure is the nrm, but cmplete failure acrss a whle regin, that’s nt nrmal,” says Tim at Oxfrd Brkes University. “Will this impact the ppulatin? It really depends n hw ften it happens.”
12. What was the result f the ice breaking last year?
A The area f the sea reached the lwest pint ever.
B. Emperr penguins left the habitats with their chicks.
C. Emperr penguins had t search fr fd themselves.
D. Mst emperr penguins chicks studied failed t survive.
13. Hw did the team identify a habitat in satellite images?
A. By cunting the penguins.
B. By making the images clearer.
C. By sptting brwn stained ice.
D. By cllecting penguins’ faeces.
14. What can be inferred frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. The area suffered breeding failure fr the first time.
B. Severe strms caused the extensive breeding failure.
C. The ttal failure has made emperr penguins extinct.
D. The frequency f ice breaking needs t be cntrlled.
15. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. The main causes f glbal warming.
B. The exlinet emperr penguin habitats.
C. Emperr penguins’ severe breeding failure.
D. Health prblems f emperr penguin chicks.
