Kuakuaqun, social media chat groups that people pay a little money to join and are paid to show kindness, support and comfort to others in the group, have become popular with young people. Users can now join a chat group on WeChat or QQ, where they are showered with praise and encouragement — for a price. On e­commerce sites like Taobao, membership in WeChat or QQ groups starts at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments (表扬). Once you purchase a round of compliments on Taobao, the seller will contact you with an invitation to a group on WeChat. There, you will be praised from various people.

Zhang Youde is the Dean of the social management school at Shanghai University of political science and law. He thinks this phenomenon is a direct result of the information era when young people tend to express their personal feelings on the Internet to those they don’t know. He also believes it has something to do with the traditional Chinese way of parenting that parents tend to withhold praises and encouragement. In China, when children do something wrong, parents usually criticize or even beat them because they think only in this way can children correct their improper behaviors. However, when children behave well, parents seldom praise them for fear that they may become too proud.

Deng Jianguo, associate professor of communication at Fudan University in Shanghai assumes the reason lies behind the high­stress work and study environment faced by young people. To some extent, he said, it creates a positive and friendly environment for people to create an outlet for stress relief. Just simple words of encouragement in their lives can help them struggle to see through another day.

But the experts warn participants to keep a clear understanding about themselves despite the compliments from the strangers. Otherwise, they will fall into confusion and get lost. Many people go through each day reacting to events and just getting by rather than making conscious choices based on who they are. Therefore, it’s hard to set goals, get motivated and determine the best course of action.

At first, Nick Bostic could only see a faint orange light at the edge of his vision as he drove down the streets of Lafayette. It was not until he drove his car further that he finally figured out what he was seeing. Oh my god, he thought, that house was on fire!

It was an ordinary night for Bostic, who was still figuring out how to make his way through a life that hadn’t always been easy. He had spent his childhood between his mom and dad in different places, neither of them providing love and safety he needed. If you’d asked his friend to describe him as a kid, they might probably have said “a fool”. Even if people around Lafayette had to describe him now as a grown-up, they might say he was a guy with a big heart who didn’t know exactly what to do with it.

That night, he was on the road back to his apartment just after midnight when he saw the house on fire. Flames were climbing up, and his phone was dead, with no other vehicles around coming to the rescue. He ran around to the back door, not realizing that it was open. Without pausing to think about the danger, he ran into the burning building.

In the building were the Barrett families, and before the fire broke out, the Barrett couple had left home for a party, leaving their four children at home. Seionna, their 18-year-old daughter, was in charge. She was sleeping when she heard what sounded like an explosion, followed by the heat and smell of smoke. Immediately she woke up the other kids, but then a horrible realization hit Seionna. The 6-year-old Kaylani wasn’t there, who would like to sleep in the living room. And the living room was on fire.

Meanwhile, Bostic peered (盯) into each room of the burning house, searching to see if anyone was home. He had just started climbing the staircase when he looked up and saw three faces from a room at the top of the stairs and peer down at him, their eyes wide.

7 . 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。

The M1 highway was closed down in both directions due to flooding, leaving thousands of vehicles stuck on the spot. Several hundred had been stuck for at least 30 hours since the road was cut at about 7.30 am on Monday.

Unluckily, I was one of the people who were waiting for help. There are almost 100 vehicles trapped on the road about 800 meters long. And one benefit was that there was a short road tunnel (隧道) that had provided shelter from the pouring rain as well as some lighting after nightfall. So how people have felt depended on how well they stored food. I was totally in trouble because of lacking food. I heard someone knocking on my window while I was worrying about my situation.

A man, who was driving a truck full of raw (生的) chicken leaving for downtown, opened his truck’s door and shared the chicken around by dinner time on Monday. This was a thriving community of shared resources and resourcefulness, where the truck driver dished out food that had been ordered for supermarkets. And others helped to cook the raw chicken by the tool which were found in their cars.

I took the chicken from the truck driver and, after expressing my thanks, I lost in thought: how do I cook this chicken? Just as I was looking around in confusion, a girl not far away waved to me, “Come over here, we have cooked meat.” “No, thanks,” I replied casually. But I was so hungry that I couldn’t help but walk over to her with the chicken. She took the chicken from my hand, cleaned it and put it on the grill (烧烤架). I was impressed by her masterful way. After a while, some meat was cooked and I took the meat she handed to me.
