23、

When you hear "single-use (一次性使用)", you might think of something like chopsticks (筷 子) from fast food restaurants. You use them once, throw them away and forget about them. But when we forget about them, we also forget that we're creating waste.

"Single-use" was chosen as Collins Dictionary's "Word of the Year" for 2018. The idea of single-use is not just about real objects that we can touch or see. It also includes the ways that we communicate.

On social media (社交媒体), we see picture, news and articles everywhere. We look, laugh and keep scrolling (滚屏). We never look twice. This is called single-use media. It's all about sharing the small things of our lives. For example, I know what restaurant all of my friends went to last night. However, I don't know their deepest thoughts and feelings about serious problems. I don't even know what their dinner tasted like. I look at their picture and give them a "Like". Then I "throw it away" and keep scrolling.

Social media nowadays make it very easy for us to forget what we have lost. Before we use social media and send messages on the phone, we communicated by talking. We had to remember or write down important things. Many people also communicated by writing letters, which took time and energy. They had to think carefully about each sentence. People treasured (珍惜) and kept letters for years. A letter was serious. It's a shared piece of the writer's spirit.

On social media, we treat our friends and family like cheap chopsticks. It's simple and efficient (有效率的) in use, but we don't spend time sharing little pieces of our thoughts and feelings any more.

【1】From the passage we know that single-use ________.

A.is only about real objects

B.is about using things online

C.includes the ways we communicate

【2】Nowadays people talk and write letters less because ________.

A.they use social media and send messages more

B.they enjoy pictures on the Internet more

C.they eat out with friends more

【3】Which of the following is NOT the single-use way of life?

A.Half people visit an internet-famous restaurant only once.

B.Students read the books again and again to write a book report.

C.1/4 of the apps (应用程序) are opened only once during the use of the phone.

【4】According to paragraph four, we have lost ________ after social media becomes popular.

A.the ability to talk with others

B.the possibility to send messages

C.the real communication with thoughts and feelings

【5】What can you infer from the end of the passage?

A.We should treasure our friends and family by telling them how we think and feel.

B.Friends are like chopsticks, and we should use them only when we need them.

C.There is no need to save the letters from friends because they are meaningless.
