AI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of myfavorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un- aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother ’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn ’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University----coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world. In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.That ’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.I ’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says----a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I ’m an English major, so...”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn ’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I ’m headed, but he is stuck with me.21. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad.B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared.D. Happy and interested.22. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.23. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.24. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family GatheringsB. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me----My Not-So-Little Little Brother命题:姓名_______D. The Feeling of Having a BrotherBBuckingham Palace is where the Queen lives. It is the Queen’s official and main royal London home.Buckingham Palace was originally a splendid house built by the Duke(公爵) of Buckingham for his wife. George IV began changing it into a palace in 1826. It has been the official London home of Britain’s royal family since 1837. Buckingham Palace is also an office and used for the administrative work of the royal family.When the Queen is at home you can see her royal flag (the Royal Standard) flying from the flag pole on top of Buckingham Palace.The flag is divided into four equal parts.

It flies above the British Union Flag (the Union Jack ), and other British flags. It never flies at half mast.The guards of the Palace wear red jackets and tall, furry hats. When the first guards come on duty, there is a ceremony called the Changing of the Guard. A familiar sight at Buckingham Palace is the Changing of the Guard ceremony that takes place in the open space in front of it each morning.The Palace has around 750 rooms, including 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, 92 offices, a cinema and a swimming pool. It also has its own post office and police station. About 400 people work at the Palace, including servants, chefs, footmen, cleaners, gardeners, electricians, and so on.

Her Internet access was locked---remotely---to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was; Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honestly in the booming field of on line education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid---that students haven’t searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating become sharper in the last ye ar with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at he same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.29. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.D. To prevent her from slowing down.30. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.A. sharpening toolB. advanced techniqueC. effective ruleD. dividing line31. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by_________.A. checking the question answering speedB. producing a large number of questionsC. scanning the Internet test questionsD. giving difficult test questions第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20 小题; 每小题1.5 分, 满分30 分)Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends.

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业4

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业4一、阅读理解Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身),nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances,so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent(代表) the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates(候选人), so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearance s carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.2. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter4. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workp lace may best bedescribed as _______________.A. enthusiasticB. negative C positive D. sympathetic(同情的)二、七选五______51_____ It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity (基督诞生) or "birth" play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable.(马棚).On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited.______52____ The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney of fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillowcase or a sack to try to get more presents.________53_____On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock although there is no light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year._____54______ At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in._____55______ Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiness of all Christian holidays comes to an end.A. People are often busy going shopping.B. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.C. Now the Chinese people also celebrate Christmas.D. Children look for their presents, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.E. Later that night, Father or Mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.F. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.G. Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.。

高二英语寒假作业(卷4)有答案详解

高二英语寒假作业(卷4)有答案详解

高二寒假模拟考试试题英语试卷四满分为100分第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(动画电影欣赏)《霍顿与无名氏》Horton Hears a Who! (2008)是2008年福克斯制作的一部动画。

在名为欧诺的热带丛林中,小象霍顿(金·凯瑞JimCarrey 配音)和朋友们自由自在地生活于此。

某天,一粒灰尘闯入霍顿的世界。

当灰尘经过他面前时,他仿佛听到微弱的求救声。

经过一番手忙脚乱的追逐,霍顿终于在一朵花上找到了那粒灰尘。

原来灰尘上有一个“无名镇(呼呼镇)”,当地人民原本生活安泰,无忧无虑,但一枚滑落的果实却将“无名镇”所在的灰尘从苜蓿花蕊上撞向天空。

这一变故让即将迎来百年庆典的“无名镇”出现诸多怪事,偶然机缘,小镇镇长麦多多和霍顿间取得了联系。

为了让小镇重新回到稳定状态,霍顿决定带着他们回到原有的世界……本片根据苏斯博士(Dr. Seuss)的同名小说改编。

霍顿的配音演员就是金凯瑞。

不知道是不是因为《变相怪杰》给我的印象太深,我完全把金凯瑞归结到喜剧演员里了,所以不管看他的什么电影,总会跳戏。

这里推荐金凯瑞其他的几部电影,都是我特别喜欢的。

《神探飞机头》、《大话王》、《一个头两个大》、《冒牌天神》,当然还有一部神作《楚门的世界》,希望大家成为阅片无数的老司机。

看完《楚门的世界》,我发现让金凯瑞来给霍顿配音,是多么合适。

AI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with pe ople, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I t each that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation (合作) and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining (维持) friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and i t also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane (人道) societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.21. The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because ________.A. they consider animals their best friendsB. they are curious about animal kingdomC. they feel it easier to get along with animalsD. they are more familiar with animal behavior22. The author used wolves as an example to ________.A. provide the prisoners with more knowledgeB. explain the cruel side of group-living animalsC. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD. inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble23. We can infer from the text that some prisoners ________.A. have turned over a new leafB. are required to attend the courseC. are willing to learn working skillsD. prefer humane education to scienceBRaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocen tly in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”24. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Accepted happily.B. Explained clearly.C. Agreed willingly.D. Spoke unhappily.25. What made the author feel upset was ________.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the feeling of being less than valuedD. the loneliness of riding the bus home26. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ________.A. he was concerned about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Father’s Secret.B. My College Life.C. Terrible Journey Home.D. Riding Bus Alone.CMelbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destinat ion, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there.

However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface (界面) introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.32. What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Math symbols.B. Strengths.C. New rules.D. Messages.33. According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its ________.A. complex passwordsB. high speedC. unique experienceD. new interface34. From the text we can learn that Windows 8 ________.A. no longer requires a passwordB. was upgraded from windows 95C. will be popular with desktop usersD. can be used on more than computers35. Many Windows 8 users face the problem that ________.A. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left cornerB. they have to use fingerprints instead of buttonC. keyboard and mouse can’t be used any longerD. they don’t get accustomed to the new interface第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业4

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业4一、阅读理解Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身),nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances,so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent(代表) the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates(候选人), so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearance s carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.2. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter4. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workp lace may best bedescribed as _______________.A. enthusiasticB. negative C positive D. sympathetic(同情的)二、七选五______51_____ It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity (基督诞生) or "birth" play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable.(马棚).On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited.______52____ The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney of fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillowcase or a sack to try to get more presents.________53_____On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock although there is no light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year._____54______ At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in._____55______ Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiness of all Christian holidays comes to an end.A. People are often busy going shopping.B. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.C. Now the Chinese people also celebrate Christmas.D. Children look for their presents, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.E. Later that night, Father or Mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.F. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.G. Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.。

Which of the following is right ?eat fewer while watching TV. eat more while watching TV.Soaring divorce rates around the globe are taking a toll on the environment, American researchers suggested in a study released on a Monday.Michigan State University researcher Jianguo Jack" Liu and his assistant Eunice Yu said the increasing number of divorces leads to more households with fewer people and greater consumption of water and energy. They said housing units require space, construction materials and fuel to heat and cool, regardless of the number of inhabitants ・For example, in the United States in 2005, divorced households consumed an extra 73 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water ・ An additional 38 million extra rooms required heating and lighting that same year due to divorced households ・That costs $6. 9 billion in extra utility costs per year, Liu said, plus an added $ 3・ 6 billion for water, in addition to other costs such as land use ・“A married household actually uses resources more efficiently than a divorced household, ° Liu said ・ He said that in cohabitating(H^) household, people will watch the same television, share the air conditioning and heat and use the same refrigerator ・ All things use energy at a regularly stable rate, regardless of the number of users ・Liu said he was not condemning divorce, "Some people really need to get divorced ・ ° He said cohabitation 一whether by a family or friends 一was simply a more environmentally friendly option ・ Additionally, the researchers noted that trends other than divorce are also changing family living structures, such as the end of multiple generations of a family sharing a home and people remaining single longer ・^People' s first reaction to this research is surprise, and then it seems simple ・ ” Liu said in a press release ・ "But a lot of things become simple after research is done ・ Our challenges were to connect the dots and quantifytheir relationships ・ People have been talking about how to protect the environment and fight against climate change, but divorce is a factor that people don* t notice and it needsChildren usually C.

You only have five more radiation treatments to go. ” I held my wife Becky close.Ever since the breast cancer diagnosis (诊断), she had tried hard to be strong for the kids and for me. When her diagnosis came, my first thought was there was no way I could lose my wife. The doctors assured us the cancer was discovered early so we were feeling positive.Becky had received an operation and was recovering from it. After six weeks of radiation therapy(治疗), she was facing her final five treatments. She wa s weak and tired, in low spirits. Seeing her suffering, I felt so helpless and powerless.As soon as I was outside, long-held frustration and anger erupted in me like a volcano. I took a hammer and suddenly was swinging as hard as I could, beating heavily on the front porch(门廊). While doing so, I imagined I was beating my wife’s cancer. With all my streng th, I destroyed the porch. During the treatment, my wife had been very brave. She said she had it easy, but I don’t think it was easy for her.Seeing the porch gone, Becky shook her head at the window. I came into the room, not knowing how she would react to what I had done.“Becky, are you mad at me?” She looked at me in surprise. “For what?”I pointed at the gate. “For tearing down the porch.” She laughed. “Look how sunny this room is now. I love that it’s bright in h ere.”“You comforted me in my darker hour, Vince. You’ve found a way to deal with your own frustration. By destroying the porch, you let the sunshine in.”As I looked around the brightened room, I realized the light that filled the space was the light of hope that shone so bright after the darkness. We never did re-build the porch.【小题1】When the diagnosis came out, _______.A. the author had little hope that his wife would surviveB. the author was determined to save his wife’s lifeC. the author’s wife refused to receive radiation treatmentsD. the author felt lucky that his wife’s disease was not serious【小题2】The author went outside to destroy the porch because _______.A. he wanted to rele ase his frustrationB. he was disappointed with his wifeC. he intended to let sunshine inD. his wife didn’t like it at all【小题3】 How did the author’s wife feel about him seeing the porch gone?A. Sympathetic.B. Angry.C. Understanding.D. Happy. 【小题4】What lesson can we learn from the passage?A. Tragedy cannot separate loving couple.B. A day without sunshine is like night.C. True love is based on understanding.D. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.BIn July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown intothe atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?【小题1】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author's description of the disaster in 2094?A.The whole world becomes extremely coldB.All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyedC.The visit of the comet results in warsD.The whole mankind becomes extinct【小题2】Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?

The survey was asked to carried out by Pencourage, a new anonymous(匿名的)"diary-style" social media website.Researchers found that at least one in fou r women exaggerated or twisted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and beautify about an exotic holiday or their job.The most common reasons for women to write " fibs" included worryingtheir lives would seem “ borin g", jealousy at seeing other people's more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to stay connected on social media, they can in fact be left more isolated. They also said that the more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel. According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to dishonesty on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage. Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week. Nearly 30 percent of women lied about "doing something when I am home alone", almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their "relationship status"."We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling," said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist. "Leaving out the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our 'friends online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized(有同感的)with, resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others.
