2 . TikTok, a social media app dedicated to short-form videos, has emerged as a major firer of food trends—from mushroom coffee and pancake cereal to cloud bread and feta pasta. But another trend, the #whatieatinaday trend, is dominating TikTok, which is ________ 9 billion views.

Even though #whatieatinaday posts may be ________ to serve as healthy inspiration for others, there’s a growing feeling that these video diaries of daily eats will likely do more harm than good—especially among young girls or people with a history of disordered eating.

The ________ message these posts send is that if you eat like them, then you can eventually look like them. Yet what someone else eats in a day doesn’t mean it’s right for you, since these “________” videos are not a completely accurate representation of what someone typically eats.

Often the overly stylized meals do not________ a nutritionally adequate diet. The posts are ________the illusion (幻想) of an ideal day of eating, along with an ideal body size.

Younger audiences, especially girls and young women, internalize the message that they must eat like these creators to achieve and maintain not only health, but also social ________. The biggest harm with this trend is that it normalizes disordered or ________ eating behaviors. This could prevent someone struggling with an eating disorder from ________ support or treatment.

Even if the #whatieatinaday posts are displaying a balanced day of eating, the ________ message of “eat like me, and you will look like me” is harmful because people will not necessarily achieve the same body size as the ________ even if they copied their day of eating bite for bite.

________, what might be a healthy, adequate day of satisfying meals for one person may be inadequate and unsatisfying to another. Even worse, someone looking at these posts may conclude that they need to be eating half as much to ________.

People making these videos are overwhelmingly thin, young, able-bodied and white. There is a complete lack of body ________. And this encourages harmful comparisons to unrealistic body standards that are ________ to the vast majority of people. Therefore, those of us from marginalized communities are once again unable to see positive representations of our varying bodies, foods and cultural representation in these harmful posts.”

4 . At weekends, I went to the local library to borrow books as usual. On my way there I would pass by the nursing home. This time as I walked toward the library, I saw an old woman _______ there all by herself. Today I decided to go to talk to her instead of just walking past.

The old woman was very _______ to share her life with me. She told me about her father who was a (an) _______working at a famous hospital. She told me about the wonderful _______ she had taken when she was exploring in Africa and the _______ moments she had with her friends. She smiled while _______ her best times. We sat there for about an hour.

She told me she was _______ and that it was nice to talk to someone after such a long time. The last person she had had a( n)_______ with was a nurse but she had found another _______ and left.

It made me feel ________ that some old people are easily affected by the social________ . And sometimes this can have a serious effect on their ________ . We should try our best to spare some time to ________ the elderly, whether they are our grandparents, neighbors or ________ a random(任意的) elderly person. The elderly woman was highly ________ and I learned so much from her in less than an hour.

5 . Hello, Mr. Wi-Fi. Life without you is next to impossible. We’re happy to sing your name from morning till evening, sometimes till dawn. _______ I know you help me, sometimes you’re making me do things with ________ attention. Many times I promise myself that I’ll ________ my feelings towards you, but you’re ________ me closer and closer… You’ve entered both my home and my workplace. You’re just a window for our ________ and information. But we people aren’t ________ only with the window. So we open all our doors for you. Is this a(n) ________ or some kind of attachment? If this is an illness, is it curable? And if this is an attachment, will you __________ me to the lifelong togetherness?

We want you all days. Can’t you take a few days off so that both you and I can __________? You’re a poison – not a slow one but a super-fast poison which holds our mind and makes us dance __________ its tune. Nowadays you’re so __________ that anyone can buy and make you our companion. You’ll never be bothered about our health but we’ll __________ be concerned about your “health”. Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone.

If you were a __________ person made of flesh and blood, would we love you the same? You control us with your numerous talents and we even can’t get rid of you. We’re all your __________. Sometimes I wonder how people in the previous generations __________, but if they did why can’t we?

6 . We humans love to make comparisons. On the market, we _______ to find the best ones. In the classroom teachers compare their students to the _______. And parents compare their child to his or her peers to _______ an idea of what is normal.

_______, comparisons of any kind come with a sting (剧痛) for everyone. When parents make it clear to anyone that their child is _______ to all other children in all ways, they put their child under _________. Some children will obey when they are pressured to _________ their parents' need for perfection; others may _______, trying to be just like any other kid, or, better still, to be just who they are. In other _______, parents who compare their child to other children might end up __________ their child is somehow "deficient (有缺点的)". And, again, they pressure their child to be __________ enough.

A most disturbing __________ of all this comparing is that it pushes children into the destructive world of competition. "In a __________ culture, a child is told that it isn't enough to be good—he or she must __________ other," writes Alfie Kohn, a parenting expert.

According to Kohn, research doesn't __________ the theory that competition brings success. One after another, researchers have concluded that children don't learn better __________ education is changed into a competitive struggle. Competition prevents a child's ability __________ not only educationally but socially, too.

So, __________ competition, cooperation! Instead of __________ other people's children, parents need to pay close attention to their own, learn who they are, discover their interests and talents, and teach them how to cooperate with others. They will need role models to __________ them.
