Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time．Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties．Daydreaming has always had a bad reputation，but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity．It can even help you achieve your desired goals．
   Now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming．Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do．Researchers are finding daydreaming，they tell us，is a good means of relaxation．But its benefits go beyond this．A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions．
   Dr．Joan T.Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth．It also improves concentration，attention span，and the ability to get along with others，she says．In an experiment with school children，the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details．They had more happy feelings．They worked together better．Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative abilities．
   But that's only part of the story．The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be．Industrialist Henry J．Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming．He maintained that" you can imagine your future．" Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse．The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor．For these famous achievers，it appears that their daydreams came true．
   Of course daydreaming is no substitute（代替者）for hard work．You have to work hard to develop skills．Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire．But in combination with the more usual methods of self-development，it might make a critical difference．And who knows：You might see your own daydreams come true．

1．Breakdancing may make its debut（首次亮相）as an Olympic sport at Paris 2024，Tony Estanguet，head of the Paris 2024 organizing committee，said on February 21.Skateboarding，sport climbing and surfing which have already been added to Tokyo 2020，have been invited to return in Paris.
   Estanguet said the choices responded to a need to make the Olympics "more urban" and "more artistic". "We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee（IOC）with the four sports because they are creative，appealing to youth and completely in line with our vision.They reflect perfectly Paris 2024's identity. "
   Breakdancing is an example of a sport "which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environments".It appeared at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in the form of head-to-head "battles".In competitive breakdancing，"breakers" face off in "battles" against each other，either as individuals or teams.Breakdancers use a mix of physical and artistic skills combining elements from gymnastics or acrobatics（雜技）.
   The IOC had announced that the number of competitors at Paris 2024 would be restricted to 10，500，which limited the opportunity to add sports.But the organizers said the inclusion would not need the construction of permanent facilities（設(shè)施）and would involve just 248 competitors，including 32 breakdancers.The surfing events are likely to be held in established surf centers such as Biarritz or Lacanau in southwest France.
   The inclusion still needs to be rubber-stamped by the IOC，which is expected to decide on which sports to add in Paris 2024 after Tokyo 2020.

（1）What do we know about breakdancing？

A．It involves multiple skills.
B．It's limited to group competition.
C．It will show up in Paris 2024.
D．It never appeared in the world events.
（2）Why does Paris 2024 organizers have chosen the four sports？

A．They attract young people.
B．They perfectly reflect Paris' identity.
C．They make Paris more urban and artistic.
D．They can be played anytime and anywhere.
（3）What can we learn from Paragraph 4？

A．10，500 competitors will compete for the new sports.
B．More surf centers will be specially designed for Paris 2024.
C．The IOC will reject the proposal because of inadequate facilities.
D．The inclusion won't require additional competition space to be built.
（4）Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "rubber-stamped" in the last paragraph？

A．Recognized.
B．Canceled.
C．Refused.
D．Designed.

2．People love to celebrate.Whether it's a birthday or a wedding，we enjoy having a reason to relax and have a good time.This is especially true for festivals that welcome spring and summer.Here are some celebrations you may not know about.
   Carabao is a buffalo（水牛） found in the Philippines，and the Carabao Festival is a day of dancing and revelry（狂歡） in May that celebrates the strong animal that plays such an important role in the Filipino farming economy.The animals are cleaned before a parade in which 20 or more of them-many decorated with paint and colourful ribbons-walked through the streets.
   Cooper's Hill is a steep，grassy knoll（圓丘） near Gloucester，England，which is longer than a football field.The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling is a late May event in which participants race one another to beat a nine-pound cheese to the bottom of the hill.The event attracts lots of contestants but is harder than it sounds.Lots of contestants bite the dust before they reach the finish line.The winner gets the cheese.
   The Boryeong Mud Festival takes place each summer near Seoul，Korea.Tons of mud are trucked from the Boryeong mud flats to a beach area near the event.People participate in lots of activities，including a mud pool，mud skiing and mudslides.By the time the celebration is over，anyone coated in soft or dried mud can take a short walk to the beach for a quick bath.
   La Tomatina is an organized tomato fight that takes place in Bunol，Spain，every August.The festival's origins are unclear，but that hasn't lessened anyone's enthusiasm.The battle lasts for about an hour，and participants have to throw squashed（擠爛的） tomatoes to reduce the risk of injury.After the fight，both the people and the streets are covered with tomatoes.Fire trucks then begin the difficult task of washing everything.

3．What Is Social Media？ Not many people ask the question "What is social media？" anymore.Social media has been around for years now，and most of us would probably describe it as any Internet medium that can be used to share information with others，including blogs，forums，applications，games，websites and other stuff.
   But let me ask you this：what exactly is so "social" about sitting before a computer setting up a blog and blogging for days without anybody reading it，or scrolling through your Facebook feed of information from 500 friends you barely know？If you ask me，it can be way more antisocial than anything.
   Social media is not a "thing".It's not just Facebook，WeChat and Weibo.It's more of a frame of mind and a state of being.It's about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life.However，we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually tear apart those relationships.
   Social media isn't about numbers.When someone says "social media"，web giants like Facebook，Twitter，WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds，often because they have more updates，more friends，more followers，more links，more photos and more everything.We tend to get distracted by the number game，thinking "volume，volume，volume".It leads to a lot of meaningless noise and information overload.As the old saying goes，quality over quantity is usually the way to go.So，social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly spreading lots of information.
   Social media needs to have an "IRL" factor—an Internet slang standing for "In Real Life".It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline.After all，social media shouldn't be an end in itself.It was built to enhance your actual social life，in real life.Take for example an event that a person attends because he is invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page.Something like that definitely has the IRL factor.Likewise，a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that they feel the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.
   So，is it really considered to be social to spend an hour scrolling through photos on Weibo，with no thoughtful or emotional effect and no interaction with others？In fact，there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists.Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing.It's all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may be.

（1）What does the underlined phrase "tear apart" in Paragraph 3 mean in the text？

A．Destroy.
B．Change.
C．Continue.
D．Strengthen.
（2）The writer thinks that social media should be

.
A．a(chǎn) number of websites where people communicate
B．a(chǎn) set of social tools like Facebook，WeChat and Weibo
C．a(chǎn) collection of online applications where ideas are exchanged
D．a(chǎn) group name for online platforms used to strengthen meaningful relationships
（3）According to the author，which of the following cases has an IRL factor？

A．Updating Facebook on a regular basis.
B．Following new friends in real life on Facebook.
C．Visiting a museum with friends after reading a story on Weibo.
D．Reading Twitter to see what other people are doing and thinking about.
（4）What is the authors purpose of writing this article？

A．To explain the importance of social media.
B．To inform the negative effects of social media.
C．To call on readers to use social media to promote real social life.
D．To encourage readers to interact with others in real life more often.
