With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, were able to present the best pictures of ourselves to others. However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections（瑕疵）away, were also changing the way we look at our ourselves. （1）. Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article SelfiesLiving in the Era of Filtered（滤镜）Photographs.The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. （2）.The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy（虚幻）. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. （3）.In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time.But for todays young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media.“From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said. （4）“Now youve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website. He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldnt think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam（美颜）?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.” 60. What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media? A. Wearing false eyelashes.B. Redding their lips before going out.C. Using apps to edit photos.D. Smoothing their skin in the morning. 61. Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.”?A.（4）B.（3）C.（2）D.（1） 62.

The article listed the bad and good effects of photo editing on people.D. People today pay more attention on how good they look than in the past. 63. What did the author write this passage for?A. To call on people to care more about appearance.B. To call on people not to use apps on mobile phones.C. To call on people to spend too much time comparing with others.D. To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.DTwo men guarded the door while Mr. Brownlow led Monks into a back room. “What kind of treatment is this?” said Monks, “from my fathers oldest friend?”“Yes, I was your fathers oldest friend, and that is why I am treating you with kindness now. ”said Mr. Brownlow. “What do you want?” said Monks. “You have a younger half-brother called Oliver. ”Said Mr. Brownlow. “I do not have a brother. ” cried Monks. “You both have the same father, but not the same mother. ” “My father and mother separated. ”said Monks. “You are the first child of an unhappy marriage. Your father met another young woman called Agnes and fell in love. ”Said Mr. Brownlow. “They wanted to marry. ”“How nice!” said Monks. “Your father was rich. One day, he travelled to Italy but before he went, he came to visit me. He told me about Agnes and gave me a portrait of her to keep. He told me that she was expecting a child. He wanted to make a new will leaving some of his money to Agnes and her child. But when your father was in Italy, he became ill and died. Since your mother and father were still married when he died and the new will was not found, you and your mother automatically（自动地）go all his money. ”“Your story is very long. ” said Monks. “I never saw your father again, after that visit” Mr. Brownlow continued. “Later, I went to find Agnes. I wanted to help her, but her family had left a week before. No one knew where they were. Your brother Oliver came to me by chance. He was weak and neglected（没人疼爱的）. I saved him from a life of crime. But now he was kidnapped by someone before I could find out more about his past. You found the proof（证据）of this birth, but you destroyed it.
