The children are members of WeWork's first school, WeGrow, where farming is part of the curriculum. They were interacting with WeGrow employees browsing the goods.“How many carrots would you like？” One girl asked. “We take Apple Pay，” another shouted.‎ ‎ Founded in 2010, WeWork has made a name for itself as a global network of coworking spaces. WeGrow is WeWork's newest enterprise(事业) and its first attempt in the education industry.‎ ‎ WeGrow, a school which claims to grow “conscious leaders”， is inspired by the Montessori approach to learning that gives children the freedom to explore and choose their activities, so their nature of creativity and curiosity is preserved. But the goal is not to create nextgeneration CEOs. “Leadership is a bit of an exciting word for people，” said Rebekah, WeGrow's founder and CEO. “We've seen children do such a thing forever — running a lemonade stand every time, that's what that is.”‎ ‎ WeGrow opened in the fall last year. Currently, 46 kids are enrolled in classes from prekindergarten to fourth grade. The kids start every morning with live music, followed by yoga. They spend time in nature and choose to take either Hebrew or Mandarin courses. WeGrow students learn science, math, social studies and language arts. It also has a program for kids to connect with WeWork community members with careers in areas kids might be interested in. But the main concern is that standardized tests are not available to measure the students' overall progress.‎ ‎ They want to create an environment where people can work to make a life and not just a living, but that's part of a larger mission to raise the world's awareness towards creating a world where people are happy and fulfilled and living in a sharing state.‎ ‎1．What do we know about WeGrow from the text?‎ A．It was founded in 2010.‎ B．It is intended for gifted kids.‎ C．It aims to preserve kids' nature.‎ D．It got a lot of satisfaction from parents.‎ ‎2．Which of the following reflects the Montessori approach?‎ A．All kids learn to run the lemonade stand.‎ B．Students are allowed to establish markets in the yard.‎ C．The school committee arranges students' activities.‎ D．Students work hard academically to become CEOs.‎ ‎3．Why is it hard to measure students' progress?‎ A．Because there are so many courses.‎ B．Because the students are of a wide age range.‎ C．Because standardized tests have limitations.‎ D．Because the school lacks professional testers.‎ ‎4．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．A Farmingfeatured School B．An Educationbased Business C．Grow to Be a Future Leader D．Learn to Make a Life, Not Just Living B ‎[2020·兰州市高三诊断考试]In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight.‎ ‎ A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2018?‎ ‎ Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent(等同物) Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple's App store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June at home, CNBC said.‎ ‎ Why are these short videos — which are rarely longer than a few minutes — so popular? Jiang Yige, Singaporebased analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. “Short videos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules，” he told CNBC.‎ ‎ These videos — apart from being very convenient — are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue.‎ ‎ Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said, “The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.”‎ ‎ Live streaming(直播) is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It's a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone,‎ ‎ anywhere, live. However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams. Among them is viewers' ability to interact with unknown names.‎ ‎ However, the quick development of social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesn't mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds.‎ ‎5．The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “being ________”．‎ A．changeable B．steady C．promising D．violent ‎6．According to Liza Koshy, short videos are very popular because ________.‎ A．they are very convenient B．they help people kill time C．they provide a sense of community D．they allow people to express themselves ‎7．What do we know about social media?‎ A．The information from social media is totally reliable.‎ B．When it comes to social media, people only know short videos.‎ C．People can't communicate with each other without social media.‎ D．There is still much room for social media to make improvement.‎ ‎8．What is the author's attitude to the quick development of social media?‎ A．Objective. B．Subjective.‎ C．Favorable. D．Disapproving.‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎[2020·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)] I don't think social media is “evil” or “ruining the world”. Instead, it is completely amazing to most people. __1__. It pulls my attention away from important projects. So I decide to stop using it.‎ ‎ I once had a social networking website account for about 24 hours. I used Weibo for a couple of years. While I have experimented with various social media platforms over the years, I rarely play with any platform for more than a year. I currently do not use any social media ‎ networking platforms at all. __2__. People often ask me, “Why？”‎ ‎ Social media helps me to find my true love.

At the end of my life, will I say to myself: “I am so grateful that I posted messages 151,200 times over the course of my life. How wonderful！”‎ ‎ The average human life expectancy is 39,420,000 minutes, if you are lucky. How are you currently spending your life minutes?
