5 . What your dinner photos on Instagram say about you

Posting pictures on Instagram is a modern day version of writing a journal: It’s all about creating a connection between ourselves, our lives, friends, family and the wider public.     1     Each day, at least 95 million posts are shared on Instagram.

    2     Some people will post photos of their pets, their holidays or their social life — but in recent years, posting photos of the food that we eat conveys to the viewer something more than the food itself.

If someone posts photos of a meal that they have just cooked, the message they’re trying to convey is that they are a capable person. For example, if someone is on a health kick, they often seek social approval. If they’ve made a really healthy meal, they will typically post it with hashtags “#” like diet or health, which tie into other people’s experiences.     3    

There is also a growing trend of people taking photos of their food when they dine out at a restaurant.     4     These Instagrammers often tag places that are considered selective or to have a certain clientele (顾客群) , like celebrities — to indicate that they’re a person of worth. It feeds into their need for social approval and is a way of boosting their own self-esteem.

If people are on a diet or trying to eat a bit better, they can use platforms like Instagram to track what they’ve been eating. It’s a way of motivating other people as well as holding themselves responsible, while subconsciously saying “    5    ”. Sharing the diet is a way of both getting attention and taking responsibility from a wider audience.

A．I am willing to take risks in my diet.

B．There are some reasons to post photos online.

C．I’m the sort of person who takes care of myself.

D．It’s the same idea as wanting to feel part of a community.

E．The types of content we choose to post hold significance.

F．It generally implies an attempt to associate with luxury and taste.

G．We have a fundamental need to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her help any more. He thought he could write his own term papers. “You’re fired!” He said it again.

Christy Chachere, a retired PE teacher, didn’t take a step back. She believed she could do this job. “You know, I’ve taught middle schoolers,” she said. What about Andrew’s outcry? It was music to her ears. Progress was faster than expected.

When Andrew suffered from autism (自闭症) at age eight, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. Someone would drive him to places and see that he was safe. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years, the need far outstrips (超过) the supply. Cindy had no choice but to turn to the program Volunteers of America for help.

Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime. Andrew’s family did their best to help him get through life’s hardships. “I did worry about him,” said Cindy. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school teachers said that Andrew might not even graduate from high school. Other questions were around the corner as well. Would he ever have a job, or live independently?…Cindy would do anything for her son.

Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission (同意),”she recalled. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn. He has to be able to do things on his own.”

No longer would Cindy help Andrew write papers. His younger brother wouldn’t help him with the computer, either. It was a little unacceptable to step back. Actually, everyone was on board but Andrew.

7 . In the ocean of online information, staying safe can be quite challenging. As we ride the waves of digital connectivity, it’s important to use it with intelligence.     1     .

8 . When going shopping with a friend, Gail Heyman found herself quite awkward (令人尴尬的) when her friend asked her which dress she liked best. Her friend had a clear favorite — a dress that Heyman happened to dislike. “In that case, I lied and said that I like the same one,” said Heyman.

As Heyman’s experience shows, it might not matter all that much if you tell a white lie to make a friend feel good at times. But when it comes to the most meaningful relationships in your life, protecting a friend’s feelings at all costs can sometimes make them fail. For example, if a person is practicing for a job interview and it’s a few days before his interview, and he gives an answer that you think is not good at all and you don’t tell him because you don’t want to hurt his feelings, that’s really not very nice to him, right? Because he has an opportunity to fix that thing.

If you know that lies can have results, why do you still lie often? A study carried out by Tali Sharot, a professor at University College London, found that it’s because people just get used to it. One little lie can turn into bigger and bigger lies over time. “If you habituate emotionally, it will change your behavior,” says Sharot.

Sharot notes that if you’re worried about lying a bit too much, try and notice when you want to bend the truth (歪曲事实). She thinks it’s best to do so when you’re not actually responding to those triggers (诱因). Moving your attention away from shame and focusing more on your values can be a healthy way to start looking at this more actively.

9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Jenny and Molly, aged 15, were twins. With their birthday approaching, they were filled with excitement at the thought of the gifts their friends would give to them.

The special day finally coming, they got a huge bunch of flowers. Surprisingly, to be exact sixty. Facing so many flowers, they didn’t know how to deal with them.

The next day, Jenny was reading a book when she found the encouraging words: small actions can make a difference to others. Suddenly, she had a great idea, and she couldn’t wait to tell her idea to Molly. Molly agreed immediately. As planned, they would give out these flowers to people they met on the street. In this way, they could bring smiles to others. So, they tied a smile card to every single flower. With everything ready, they went to the street.

The first flower went to a dustman (垃圾工). They went up to him and handed him one. The dustman’s smile was so big, but theirs were even bigger!

Everything went smoothly. It was lunch time, and they went to the nearby restaurant, where they gave a flower to the owner. When they were waiting for their meals, the owner came up to them with one bag of snacks. She said she really liked the flower and the card. As they ate the meal, they noticed that there was still a broad smile on the owner’s face. After the meal, they had only one flower in their hands.
