Some problems are difficult to solve. But there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem. Some problems have only one solution. You cannot be of two minds over this. But with any luck，we can solve the problem in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. In other words，we could have our answers quickly and easily.

Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.

If you are going out with your girlfriend，or boyfriend，but you don’t want another friend to go along on your date，you can just say to your friend: two’s company, three’s a crowd.

When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three R’ s. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic. These three words do not all start with the letter “R”. But they have the sound of “R”. My teacher used to give three cheers when I did well in maths. They gave praise and approval for a job well done.

Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their school work. They were at sixes and sevens. In fact, they did not care if they finished high school. But they were happy when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine. Nine times out of ten students who do well in school find good jobs. Some work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. You do not have to dress to the nines, or wear your best clothes, for this kind of work.

Your friends' lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook，but new research shows that is because they are faking(偽造)it.

A recent survey has found around two?thirds of people on social media post images(圖像) to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous.And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers(同齡人)based on what they saw on their Instagram，Snapchat or Facebook pages.

The British survey，by smartphone maker HTC，found that，in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting，six percent also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off，causing_jealousy among friends and family.

Behavioural psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media.“We're living in a world of instant communication.”she said.“Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines；now people are in search of authentic （真實的），peer?to?peer recommendations as well，making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers.”

“With images being shared in an instant we desire to know what our friends are wearing，or what super stars are buying, as soon as they have got them.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram,76 percent of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them，with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see.

1.How do some people make their lives appear more exciting?

A. By buying pictures.

B. By posting images.

C. By making up stories.

D. By risking their lives.

2.What does the word “jealousy” in Paragraph 3 mean?
