Most of us looked up to someone as a role model at     1     younger age. For most of us, that would mean our parents, but we usually find     2     (we) looking up to heroes on television and in films. Maybe we wanted to be Arnold Schwarzenegger or Britney Spears. These were persons     3     seemed to have everything that we thought was good. There are many artists, singers, and writers to be our role models. Once the role models     4     (choose), we’ll take them into adulthood.

When role models play their role the way they’re supposed to, they can provide us with many     5     (benefit). For example, if you want to be a singer, then     6     (see) successful people not only gives you an example to follow, but also gives you a template(模板) for how     7     (achieve) that. However, sometimes when your role model performs     8     (badly) than you expect, he would let you down and then you would lose your direction.

So you should realize that your role models weren’t born successful. In fact they     9     (probable) went through a hard time like you did.     10     if you do find that your role models are making you feel less confident, then consider looking at role models more similar to yourself.

When people     1     (face) with health or nutrition questions, it is     2     (increasing) common to go online and diagnose (诊断) themselves. But the Internet is full of conflicting health warnings with no regulation to get rid of the wrong advice, some of     3     is extremely dangerous! Also, search engines rank results by     4     (popular) rather than accuracy, so solid facts can be tricky to find. It is worth     5     (check) if the writer of an online piece is properly qualified as an expert. Anyone can call     6     (they) a “diet expert”, “nutritionist” and even a “doctor”— given (考虑到) it could refer to qualifications like a PhD. But remember, only officially     7     (recognize) practicing doctors as well as dietitians have degrees in giving practical medical     8     (suggestion). So if you are unsure and still wondering     9     the chocolate diet really does work or not, then it pays to make     10     appointment with your dietitian or doctor. The truth is out there, and you just need to look in the right place!

Screen time for children and teens is a battlefront that many parents know well. But one Chicago zoo says it’s a problem for a teenage gorilla (大猩猩), too. A 16-year-old, 415-pound gorilla named Amare is developing a(n)     1     (addict) to the smartphone screens held up by visitors at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois, the zoo says.     2     growing number of people noticed that Amare     3     (enjoy) looking at photos and videos on their cell phones. As the visitors held up their screens, the gorilla spent more and more time     4     (approach) the glass to get a closer look.

Amare lives with three other teenage male gorillas. Once, he     5     (glue) to a screen when another gorilla charged to ward him and didn’t notice     6     had happened. Although Amare is fine after that normal show of aggression between young     7     (male), continued distraction could weaken Amare’s social standing in the group and result     8     severe developmental consequences.

Too much screen time among human teens has been tied to physical and mental health risks. The reasons to limit screen time for human and gorilla teens are not     9     (terrible) different. Now, staff members at the Lincoln Park Zoo have put up a rope line     10     (keep) visitors and their screens a bit farther away from the teenage gorilla.

Over the past few years, the Chinese market of mobile payment     1     (witness) a booming development. With the emergency of the mobile internet, smartphone shopping has     2     (gradual) become trendy, especially with the 18 to 30-year-olds     3     make up the lion’s share in the mobile payment market. Since it is so convenient to pay with a smartphone while shopping, many consumers prefer     4     (pay) by their phone rather than by cash or credit card.

It has been two months since I moved to China, but its digital advancement hasn’t stopped impressing me ever since. Mobile p    1     is one of the major things without which I cannot imagine     2    (live) anymore. There are two major apps here that people use to pay for their purchase, Alipay and WeChat Pay. Both have s    3     features, though WeChat by which people can communicate, has more of a social component to it. That’s why I will concentrate    4     this “super app”.

So far, I’ve been    5    (amaze) by how efficient life can be with WeChat. It is present in people’s daily life, from paying water and electricity bills, meals, cinema tickets to taking a taxi and     6    (chat) with friends. Most businesses have adopted it from tiny local street food stalls to high-end stores.     7     cashier may be surprised if you do not pay with WeChat or Alipay at the grocers or in restaurants. It is so w    8     used here that I can perfectly survive if I forget my physical wallet at home one day.

    9     I mentioned earlier, WeChat is also a major social media platform with about one billion daily users,    10     is more than the entire population of the European Union. So I have to say Chinese technological and digital development is a real miracle.
