We check our social media accounts（賬戶） such as s and Facebook almost every day. Lately, people like posting pictures just for the purpose of getting others39。 attention through their “flowers”, no matter whether these pictures are good or not. Recently, I was very annoyed with these types of posts, so I decided to stop using social media for one week. After not using social media for a week, I can honestly say that everything has changed. Before last week, I used to check Facebook more than five times a day, as well as of my other social accounts, and I couldn39。t understand why I did that. Now I check Facebook much less. People are so obsess（迷戀的） with posting pictures that have no meaning to them just for the purpose of posting something online. Whenever I look at Instagram, all of the ments on pictures are the same. People depend on how many “l(fā)ikes” they get on what they post as an achievement. I just want to say, “None of it matters!” As I start to fully understand this now, I wonder why I have social media if all of this annoys me so much. But then I realize that I actually post meaningful things that my friends enjoy, and to me, that39。s more important than getting “l(fā)ikes” on a picture. Maybe as a society, we are using social media wrongly. I think we sometimes forget that social media helps us contact with people who are far away from us. I think it39。s a beautiful thing that I am able to go on Facebook and feel connected with people that I don39。t have the opportunity of seeing every single day anymore.（1）Why did the writer decide to stop using social media for one week? A.Because she had very few “flowers”.B.Because she had got tired of the posts on it.C.Because she didn39。t have any good pictures to post on.D.Because there was something wrong with her puter.（2）What do we know about the writer from Paragraph 2? A.She didn39。t know how to use Facebook.B.She didn39。t like posting things on Facebook.C.She used to check her social media accounts a lot.D.She has given up using social media forever.（3）According to the writer, people should use social media to ______. A.receive important mentsB.learn about other people39。s livesC.get “l(fā)ikes” from their “flowers”D.connect with faraway friends and family（4）What is the main idea of the passage?

When Doctor Gibbs wasn39。t saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he39。d beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees39。 attention. Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees I39。d watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong. I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Every time a cold wind blew, my trees shook. Adversity seemed to be good for Doctor Gibb39。s trees, they could never relax. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray（祈禱）that their lives will be easy. But lately I39。ve been thinking that it39。s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. There39。s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won39。t be separated.（1）What did Doctor Gibbs do to the trees he planted?
