Sara Kays, a 22-year-old girl, is a rising star on online video-sharing platforms. She not only uses TikTok to promote her music, but also posts songs to get feedback (反馈) from her followers.
“It’s been cool to engage with people that way,” said Kays, who has been using online platforms to realize her music dream. Now, she is famous on TikTok with about 1.3 million followers. She released (发布) her song Remember That Night in November 2020. The post blew up, getting almost three million views in a matter of days.
Kays has loved singing since she was young. At 11, she got a guitar from her mother and then started to sing while playing.

“I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to release songs and that all these people are listening to them online,” said Kays. “It’s been amazing.”
Different from other content creators who update their content frequently, Kays updates on a weekly basis and only posts videos about her songs and related stories, such as singing, playing the guitar or ukulele, shooting music videos. Her videos are always simple, and the recording process is pretty simple too: she edits the vocals and video in her room.
Now, Kays has signed with a music company. In Kays’ eyes, people like her songs and videos because she writes about life experiences and emotions of the youth. “I just sing and share my feelings about divorced parents, body image, loneliness and mental health,” said Kays. “I want more people to know they’re not alone with the struggles in their lives.”

It’s OK to run when it’s cold outside. But is it OK to run when you have a cold Many runners find the activity addictive Running releases endorphins (脑内啡) into the brain, which are responsible for mood changes. The harder you run, the more endorphins released, and the happier you are. Some studies show this endorphin rush allows people to continue running even when injured or sick.
And that brings us to the point of this article—why people continue their running even when they’re sick. Most of us curl up in bed with some chicken soup and the remote control when we’re under the weather. But runners often hit the road. Are they helping or hurting themselves by jogging with a cold
The best way to decide whether you should exercise is to employ what doctors call the “neck check”. Feel free to go running if your cold is “above the neck”. Doctors advise against proceeding with your exercise if your sufferings are “below the neck”.
Some people think that running in cold temperatures will actually make them sick. But this isn’t really true. You can’t freeze your lungs or windpipe (气管). Your body heats the air you breathe. When the air is particularly cold, you may feel a burning in your chest as you breathe. If that’s the case, try covering your mouth with a scarf or wearing a ski mask. That’ll help heat up the air before you breathe it in.
Keep in mind, if you have an infection (感染) in your chest or throat, running outside can indeed make things worse. But if you have a simple head cold, it would be fine to take that run, even if it’s cold outside.
8. Why do some people still go running even if they are not in good condition
A. They’d like to keep their figures.
B. They don’t realize the harm it does.
C. They want to feel the pleasure it brings.
D. They enjoy the atmosphere of running with others.
9. What does the underlined word “proceeding” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Stopping. B. Working. C. Changing. D. Continuing.
10. What is the misunderstanding of running in cold weather
A. It will make people ill. B. It will worsen people’s health.
C. It will burn your chest. D. It has nothing to do with people’s illness.
11. What can we learn from the text
A. Running when suffering a cold can be harmful.
B. Running in cold weather makes people happier.
C. Lying in bed is what we all do when catching a cold.
D. Covering your mouth when running in cold weather frees you from a cold.
D
Earlier this month, TikTok announced that it will be introducing screen time limits for the accounts of users aged under 18. Children under 13 will require a parent or guardian to type in a password to continue scrolling (滚屏) through their feed, and those aged 13-17 will be asked to set their own passwords when the viewing time goes beyond the limit.
Studies suggest that 30 minutes may be the sweet spot for social media use, where users are able to stay connected with friends and family and view entertainment. However, many other studies show that overly-heavy social media use can lead to a lot of problems, such as physical issues and depression.
By suggesting 100 minutes as a hard line where a password is required to be created by the user, TikTok is gradually making the standards clear as to what may be regarded as problematic social media habit in young people. Although these passwords for older teenagers can obviously be bypassed, they are a step in the right direction in encouraging children to use social media responsibly.
Also, parents who own their own TikTok accounts will be able to link with their children’s accounts, gaining additional controls, such as muting notifications (消息免打扰) and customizing time limits for different days in the week.
Lawmakers around the world are paying close attention to the effect social media has on the young, meaning that the development of new tools to improve its use will no doubt take place soon if big tech wishes to avoid additional legal issues.
12. Why did TikTok introduce screen time limits for teenagers
A. To protect their privacy. B. To develop their self-control.
C. To improve family relationship. D. To prevent overuse of social media.
13. What’s the author’s attitude towards TikTok’s new policy
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Disapproving.
14. What can parents do to help children use social media responsibly
A. Type in a password to stop the use.
B. Send a link to the children’s account.
C. Set time limits through their own account.
D. Use algorithms (算法) to remove dangerous content.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning social media
A. Its effects on the young. B. Legal pressure on its improvement.
C. Its application to lawmaking. D. Solutions to its technological issues.

【答案】Dear Tom,
How are you Delighted to know you’re interested in Chinese culture, I’d like to introduce something about the Dragon Boat Festival.
It’s a traditional Chinese festival falling on the fifth day of the fifth Chinese lunar month. It is widely believed that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan, who lived in ancient times. Disappointed with the government, he drowned himself in the Miluo River. On this day, families eat zongzi and watch exciting dragon boat races.
I hope you can experience this festival in China someday!
Yours,
Li Hua
