Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

    Social media networks are the places where you relax, learn interesting things, and show people who you are. Social media users can choose what to show and what to hide, which could lead to the constant desire to be popular and look perfect, known as the pressure of online recognition.

    We always want to be like the people around us. On social media, we see the best parts of other people's lives - their vacations, their career success, even their stunning selfies! It's easy to get frustrated if you don't have similar career achievements or post remarkable selfies as they do. This can make you want to be more impressive online and show off all the time.

    Social media even keeps score of your posts and comments! Every like, comment, and follower becomes a number that results in daily pressure. It's tempting to think that the more popular you are on social media, the better you are as a person. This can make you focus on being liked instead of being yourself.

    All those kinds of pressure can be toxic for us. Wanting to be popular online can make people stressed, upset, and unsure of themselves. Trying to seem perfect all the time isn't real, and it gets exhausting for many people. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to take a break!

    The bottom line is that you mustn't let social media control you. It's vital not to compare yourself with others all the time and just focus on being you. You'd better spend time having real-life fun with other people to experience the true happiness instead.

Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

The word “tempting” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

According to the passage, to avoid the harmful effects of pressure to be popular online, we should ______.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the questions.

    Overfishing, pollution, and rising temperatures have affected different marine creatures. Sea turtles could choke on plastic bags mistaken for tasty jellyfish, and coral bleaching might happen very quickly. It's time we took serious actions together.

    Try to become an ocean supporter. Launch school campaigns, share facts with friends, and create eye-catching posters to raise awareness of the importance of our seas. Be a smart shopper - boycott companies with harmful fishing practices and choose those who treat the ocean with respect, choose “sustainable seafood”, and reduce plastic bags. Every choice counts. Don't forget our endangered friends - reintroduce vulnerable creatures back into their natural habitats, volunteer at research centers, and learn firsthand how to protect these aquatic species. And remember, choose eco-friendly tourism that respects marine life and local communities.

    If every person cared for the ocean like their home, imagine how different things would be. The waters would be clear and free of trash if we all avoided using plastic products and picked up litter on the beach. If we worked together effectively, we could create a future where the oceans are vibrant and full of life.

    The more plastic products we use, the more trash there is in the sea, and the less marine life can grow. The more we pollute, the more contaminated our waters become, and the fewer creatures will consider them home. Join the adventure, raise your voice, and protect these breathtaking ecosystems before it's too late.

Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

How can the target readers help with protecting the oceans?

The word “boycott” in paragraph 2 is opposite in meaning to ______.

The phrase “reintroduce vulnerable creatures back into their natural habitats” in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.

The word “aquatic” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.

Which of the following could be inferred from the passage?
