The audience was amazed at his show of sportsmanship and cheered and clapped for the cyclists. After the race, Navarro said, “I didn’t want to win that way.” Later, Esteban, who won the bronze medal, tried to give his medal to Navarro.

5 . In the digital age, we rely on technology such as social media to try to build interesting and varied lives. Social networking sites are designed and promoted to make us believe enthusiastically that they are able to open up new experiences for us. There are constant notifications (通知) and updates, urging us to log in to find out what is new.

But if we do not use the technology wisely, we can end up becoming trapped in a cycle of social media FOMO, a sign of deeper unhappiness. FOMO, or fear of missing out, is the fear that exciting or interesting events are happening somewhere else and that we are not able to take part.

People who experience high levels of FOMO have been found to be more likely to give in to urges to compose and check text messages while driving, as well as to use Weibo, TikTok, etc more often directly after waking, while going to sleep and during meals.

When it comes to lasting happiness, it is best not to give in to FOMO, but rather to deal with the cycle of desires that fuel it. Hard as it is, it is better to work toward facing the fearful reality that we cannot experience everything we might like than to get caught in a cycle of checking behaviors that only cause anxiety.

If we have become used to using social media as part of our attempts at living interesting lives, we must admit that it is not easy to change our approach. But change is almost always worthwhile in the long run.

The fact that FOMO is so common in our digital age is a sign that there is something wrong with the way we are pursuing happiness and that we are not as happy as we might think we are. It should warn us that, in our eagerness to use digital technology to try to make ourselves happier, we may unintentionally bring on exactly the opposite result.

1. Which of the following could be regarded as social media FOMO?

A．A tendency to handle multiple tasks at once.

B．Feeling anxious about socializing with others.

C．Being afraid of missing updates on social media.

D．A preference for posting food photos on social media.

2. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?

There are a few tips old people should keep in mind while traveling during the long weekend. Consider these tips to keep your travelling stress-free.

1.Plan ahead.

Get to know your destination ahead of time. Find out the weather for the weekend and choose some fun places to go with loved ones. You also can pack the necessary items like an umbrella. If you need a wheelchair or other devices, inform the place you’re staying ahead of time.

2.    1    

Let your doctor know about your travel plans. He may want to discuss medications or dietary changes and offer sound medical advice.

3.    2    

The old should always think about any medicine they take daily. Bring enough medicine to last you the entire weekend. Pack your medications in your carry-on if you’re flying. That way, if there are travel delays, you’ll be prepared. Don’t leave your medications exposed in your room while you’re away. Always place them in a safe spot out of harm’s reach.

4.Avoid showing flashy items.

Keep your jewelry at home while you’re travelling or tuck it in a hidden spot. If you’re staying in a hotel, use the room safe to hold valuables such as wallets while you’re gone. Avoid placing the “clean my room” sign on the door. If you are on the first floor always keep windows locked to avoid break-ins.

5.    3    

Old people should always aim to travel comfortably. Pack flat shoes with good support. Even the smallest of heels can throw off your balance and possibly cause you to fall. Use luggage with wheels for easy mobility.

A. Travel comfortably.
B. Talk to your doctor.

D. Consider your medications.
