But is persistent information-seeking on social media, sometimes called doomscrolling, 3_____(help) during a pandemic, or any time?Research on the effects of bad news on mood suggest 4_____(expose) to negative COVID news is likely to be harmful to our emotional wellbeing.For instance, one study 5_____(conduct) in March 2020 involving more than 6,000 Americans found that the more time participants spent consuming COVID news in a day, the 6_____(unhappy) they felt.These findings are 7_____(amaze) but leave a few key questions unanswered. Does doomscrolling make people unhappy, or are unhappy people just more likely to doomscroll? How much time spent doomscrolling is a problem? And what would happen if, instead of doomscrolling, we were "kindness scrolling" – reading about humanity's positive responses to a global crisis?To find out, researchers conducted a study where they showed hundreds of people real-world content on either Twitter or YouTube for two to four minutes. The Twitter feeds and YouTube videos featured either general news about COVID, or news about kindness during COVID. Researchers then measured these participants' moods using a questionnaire, and compared their moods with participants 7_____ did not engage with any content at all.People who were shown general COVID-related news experienced lower moods than people who were shown nothing at all. Meanwhile, people who were shown COVID news stories involving acts of kindness didn't experience the same decline in mood, but also didn't gain the boost in mood they 8_____(predict).These findings suggest that spending as little as two to four minutes consuming negative news about COVID-19 can have a detrimental impact on our mood.So what can we do to look after 9_____(we), and make our time on social media more pleasurable?One option is to delete our social media accounts altogether. Figures show almost half of Facebook users in the UK and the US considered leaving the platform in 2020.But how realistic is it to distance ourselves from platforms that connect nearly half of the world's population, particularly when these platforms offer social interactions at a time when face-to-face interactions can be risky, or impossible?Here are some other ways to make your experience on social media more positive.First, be mindful of what you consume on social media. Focus on the personal news and photos shared instead of the latest headlines.Second, seek out content that makes you happy to balance out your newsfeed. Third, use social media to promote positivity and kindness. Sharing good things that are happening in your life can improve your mood, and your positive mood can spread to others. As the pandemic continues to alter our lives and newsfeeds, the study highlight the 10_____(important) of being aware of the emotional toll negative news takes on us. But there are steps we can take to mitigate this toll and make our social media a happier place.Keys:1 scrolling  2 to seek  3 helpful  4 exposure  5 conducted  6 unhappier  7 who  8 had predicted  9 ourselves  10 importance 3日本酒店推出“灯笼聚餐”，降低新冠病毒传播风险Tokyo restaurant’s bright idea: Lantern pods for you to sit in while you eatIt’s called the lantern partition(隔板), and when you sit down at the table, you slide underneath it.
