在日常生活中，每个人都会有各种各样的情绪。因此，学会用英语表达情感，是英语学习的一个重要内容。课标中“个人情感”主题涉及的主要内容有：（1）Describing feelings（happy， sad， angry， upset， pleased， proud， lonely， worried， nervous， afraid， etc.）;（2）Expressing emotions（smiling， laughing， crying， shouting， etc.）;（3）Describing facial expressions and gestures。

针对高考英语书面表达对“个人情感”主题的考查，高考命题人可能会要求考生叙述发生在身边的一件事，并表达自己的情感，以及描述考生在学校所参加的一次活动，并谈谈自己的体会等。

Using social media makes people more lonely

A latest study revealed that social media use increases depression and loneliness. A University of Pennsylvania study has proven that 1.（reduce） social media use to 10 minutes a day can help reduce depression and loneliness.

In order to better understand 2.social media may be connected to loneliness， we must first recognize that it is not a simple equation. Just 3.there are a variety of reasons why one may use social media， there are different ways in which social media could be fostering loneliness. The 4.（easy） of accessibility may be causing us to connect more in the digital realm， but 5.（connect） from the world around us. In a survey exploring social media patterns， it 6.（turn） out that individuals who spent more time on social media every day felt lonelier than those who spent less time 7.（engage） in social media. 8.（additional）， those who spent more time on social media in a given week felt more isolated than those who checked their social media less.

An increase 9. social media use has been associated with increased distractibility and sleep disturbances. Researchers at the University of British Columbia found that even seemingly mild distractions from a buzzing phone could cause individuals 10.（experience） a decrease of present enjoyment.

使用社交媒体会让人更加孤独

一项最新研究显示，社交媒体的使用会增加抑郁和孤独感。宾夕法尼亚大学的一项研究证明，将社交媒体的使用时间减少到每天10分钟，有助于减少抑郁和孤独感。

为了更好地理解社交媒体是如何与孤独联系在一起的，我们必须首先认识到它不是一个简单的等式。正如人们使用社交媒体的原因有很多种一样，社交媒体也可以通过不同的方式培养孤独感。易访问性可能导致我们在数字领域连接更多，但与我们周围的世界脱节。在一项探索社交媒体模式的调查中，结果显示每天花更多时间在社交媒体上的人比花更少时间在社交媒体上的人更会感到孤独。此外，那些在一周内花更多时间在社交媒体上的人比那些较少查看社交媒体的人感到更加孤独。

社交媒体使用的增加与分心和睡眠障碍的增加有关。不列颠哥伦比亚大学的研究人员发现，即使是来自如嗡嗡作响（开了振动）的手机这种看似温和的干扰，也可能导致个人在当下体验到享受的减少。
