Passage:

Passage:
In recent years, the rise of social media has changed the way people communicate and interact with each other. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become an integral part of our daily lives, allowing us to connect with friends and family, share our experiences, and stay updated with current events. However, along with the benefits, there are also some drawbacks to this
new form of communication.
One of the main advantages of social media is the ability to stay connected wi th people who are far away. Whether you’re traveling, living abroad, or simply busy with work, social media makes it possible to keep in touch with loved ones. This has greatly reduced the feeling of loneliness and isolation that many people experience when they are apart from their social networks.
Another benefit is the ease with which information can be shared. News, updates, and personal stories can be spread quickly and efficiently, reaching a wide audience in a matter of seconds. This has had a significant impact on the way we consume news and stay informed about the world around us.
However, there are also some negative consequences of social media use. One major issue is the potential for cyberbullying. With the anonymity that many online platforms offer, individuals can hide behind their screens and harass or bully others without consequence. This can have devastating effects on the mental health of the victims.
Additionally, social media can be a source of distraction and time-wasting. Many people find themselves spending hours scrolling through their feeds, only to feel more anxious and dissatisfied with their lives. This can lead to decreased productivity and a decline in real-world social interactions.
Despite these drawbacks, the benefits of social media are undeniable. It has the potential to bring people together, foster community, and make the world a smaller, more connected place.
Questions:
1、What is the main advantage of social media mentioned in the passage?
A. It helps people stay connected with friends and family.
B. It makes news and updates spread quickly.

A. It has made news consumption less efficient.
B. It has reduced the need for traditional media outlets.
C. It has made us more informed about the world around us.

In this section, we will explore the fascinating world of black holes and the mysteries they hold.
Black holes are formed when massive stars collapse under the force of gravity. As these stars run out of fuel, their cores collapse into a singularity, a point of infinite density and zero volume. The gravitational pull of this singularity is so powerful that it creates a boundary known as the event horizon, beyond which nothing can escape, not even light. Scientists have observed black holes through various methods, such as X-rays and gravitational waves.
