    2     If your devices are on and within arm’s reach, you may find yourself mindlessly checking them during meal times and other social activities. Just turn off your device or at least put it on silent and place it somewhere out of sight.

Charge your devices in another room at night to prevent bedtime browsing (浏览). Bedtime browsing can impact your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep due to the blue light your smartphone emits.     3    

Remove social media apps from your phone. If you find yourself picking up your phone and going on the Internet every time you get a notification (通知), delete the social media apps on your phone. Make it a rule that you can only check these apps on your computer.     4    

Look at one website at a time instead of having multiple websites open.     5     This can help you to avoid going back and forth between multiple sites and wasting time.

Technological tools are meant to serve us, not the other way around. Take action right away to free yourself from Internet dependency and take control of your life.

4 . China will deliver its first homemade C919 large passenger plane by the end of 2022, reported Xinhua.

The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China(COMAC), gained the type certificate(TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China(CAAC) at the end of September.

9 . Livestreaming is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or online store.

Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.

Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.

Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.

As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “tuning clicks into cash,” some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity. Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the return, refund and exchange of products.

1. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming?

A．To achieve as much sales as possible.

B．To focus more on brand marketing.

A．By promoting the products as hard as possible.	B．By creating fake comments and shares.
C．By speaking highly of the brands and firms.	D．By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.

4. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming?

A．Supportive

B．Neutral

C．Critical

D．Doubtful

10 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My little brother is a five-year-old boy named Tex. When it comes to being funny and lovable, he is the best. But when it comes to keeping secrets, he is the worst!

It just so happened that my parents’ wedding anniversary was near Valentine’s Day, and they planned to celebrate by going away for a couple of days. But at the last minute, my dad came home from work with bad news.

“I’m afraid our trip will have to wait. The shop assistant has the flu, so there will be no one to manage the grocery store if we go.”

“It’s OK,” my mom said, biting her lip. “We’ll have lots more anniversaries to celebrate.”

That was when I came up with the idea to surprise my parents with an extra-special cake. Luckily, the grandmother of my good friend Ollie, a very generous person who lives right next door, was an amazing baker with a kitchen full of most of the stuff you need to make a yummy valentine-anniversary cake.

I called Ollie if she and her grandmother could help me make a valentine-anniversary cake. I wanted to surprise Mom and Dad after dinner tonight. As usual, Ollie was happy to help me. Then, I asked my mother if I could go to Ollie’s and promised I would be back soon. Once I had my mom’s permission, I looked for perfect ingredients and a perfect heart-shaped pan just to make my cake more interesting and tasty. As I packed all the things I needed, I noticed Tex was glued to TV, which I thought was a perfect opportunity to leave secretly.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

As I went out for Ollie’s, Tex stopped me, asking where I was going.
