【推荐1】Do you have any experiences like these? When the teacher asks if anyone can speak in front of the class, you lower your head. When you go to the restroom or dining hall, you always try to find someone to go with you because you are afraid of being seen alone.
Well, many people have these kinds of experiences. They are feeling social anxiety (社交焦虑), or worrying about things like talking, going to a party or being the center of attention.
A recent study from China Youth Daily showed that about 45 percent of the 1,544 interviewers (受访者) said they experienced social anxiety.
Stefan Hofmann, an expert from Boston University, said that social anxiety is “a result of the fear that we will not be welcome”. For Chinese kids, there’s another reason for their anxiety. Shu Man from East China Jiaotong University said, “Most of them are the only child in their families, so they don’t have many chances to practice their social skills.”
“However, you don’t have to worry too much about social anxiety. You only need to ask the doctor for help if you can’t live a normal life,” said Li Songwei from Tsinghua University. Shu Man advised that you should go to public places more often, and try thinking about something happy when you are really nervous.

【推荐2】Full stops intimidate young people when used in social media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger, according to linguistic experts.
Teenagers and those in their early twenties, classified as Generation Z, have grown up with smartphones which they use to send short messages without full stops. Linguistic experts are now investigating why teens interpret a correctly-punctuated text as a signal of annoyance.
The debate became active again after writer Rhiannon Cosslett tweeted: “Older people, do you realise that ending a sentence with a full stop comes across as sort of abrupt and unfriendly to younger people in a message?” Genuinely curious. That caused crime novelist Sophie Hannah to reply: “Just asked 16-year-old son—apparently this is true. If he got a message with full stops at the end of sentences? He’d think the sender was weird, mean or too blunt.”
According to experts, youngsters used to communicating electronically break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, rather than using a full stop, which they use only to signal they are annoyed. Some have said the full stop is unnecessary when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it.
Linguist Dr Lauren Fonteyn of Leiden University in Holland tweeted: “If you send a text message without a full stop, it’s already obvious that you’ve concluded the message. So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it tends to be a falling intonation (语调) or negative tone. Make your sentence an open end, and it will make friends online very happy and relaxed. So full stops could be unnecessary in most cases.”
Professor David Crystal, one of the world’s leading language experts, argues that the usage of full stops is being “revised in a really fundamental way”. In his book, Making a Point, he says that the punctuation mark has become an “emotion marker” which warns the recipient (接受者) that the sender is angry or annoyed.
1. What does the underlined word “intimidate” probably mean in paragraph 1?| A．Frighten. | B．Move. | C．Delight. | D．Reward. |
| A．Full stops end the conversation awkwardly. |
| B．Full stops make messages more boring. |
| C．Full stops are punctuation marks without any emotion. |
| D．Full stops are regarded as an indication of the sender’s anger. |
| A．Skeptical. | B．Conservative. | C．Negative. | D．Tolerant. |
| A．Will full stops be replaced in messages? |
| B．Does a full stop really conclude a message? |

The Ant and the Dove
It was a hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, he came to a river. To reach the river, he had to climb up a blade of grass. While making his way up, he slipped (滑倒) and fell into the water. ”Help!Help!” called the ant. “What can I do?”
The ant was in trouble. A dove up a nearby tree saw it. “I will help you,” she said. The dove quickly plucked (摘) off a piece of leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling (挣扎脱身) ant. “Get on the leaf,” she said. The ant moved toward the leaf and climbed up there. Soon the leaf carried him safely to dry ground. The ant said to the dove, “One day I will help you.” The dove said to the ant, “You are too little to help.”
Three days later, a heartless hunter was about to shoot (射杀) the sleeping dove, hoping to hunt her. The ant quickly bit (咬伤) his toe. Feeling the pain, the hunter shot and missed the dove. Then he dropped his rifle. Hearing the bang, the dove quickly woke up and flew away to safety. “I did help you,” said the ant. “Yes, you did,” said the dove.

【推荐2】Hi, boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules you should follow.
