1. you are in good communion with your parents, you have missed your life 前句说你和父母有很好的沟通,后句说你错过了你的生活,可知应用表示否定意义的表条件的连词,即除非你和父母有很好的沟通,否则你就错过了你的生活,故填Unless

2. ease是固定短语意为舒适,根据句子If some anger persists between you and your parents, you will never feel ease如果你和你的父母存在矛盾,你将不会感到舒适,故填at

7. they leave the world-and they will leave someday,you will not feel guilty可知本句是状语从句,句中缺少时间状语,表示当…时,本句意为当他们离开人世,总有一天他们会离开,你不会感到内疚,故应用when表示当…时,故填when

8. have been happy with you and you have been happy with them 这里代指父母,且作主语,应用主格形式,本句意为和你在一起他们很快乐,和他们在一起你也很快乐,故填They

What would Barbie look like if she were average?

According to US artist Nickolay Lamm, she would be a brunette with a rounded face and a much thicker waist.

Frustrated with the unrealistic beauty standards of Barbie and her friends, Lamm took data from Disease Control and Prevention about an average 19-year-old American woman, who is about 163 cm tall, with a 84-cm waist. With those measurements, Lamm created a doll.

The doll-s tagline (口号)is “Average is beautiful.”

“I think a realistic-size doll is important because when I look at current dolls on the market, they all look like supermodels," the artist told APF. “I just had the impression that the wall of supermodels suggests that something is wrong with you if you don-t look like one. So I created an alternative to suggest that it’s OK to look like a normal person."

The Lammily dolls, which are 27 cm tall, have been on sale since last month.

Lammily also has other features. Unlike Barbie and her friends, whose pointed legs would force her to walk on all fours if she were real, Lammily has articulated(枢接的) joints – able to walk, run, and play. The doll can even be put in a yoga position.

What’s more, the Lammily dolls include a sticker package that can help to add real-life marks to the dolls, including freckles, acne, moles, and tattoos.

“You can also add minor cuts and bruises, like ones you'd get from falling down while snowboarding," Lamm told NBC.

“I feel that, right now. dolls are very perfect looking, when, in real life, few of us have perfect skin," Lamm told The Huffington Post. “Things like pimples are a natural part of who we are. So, why not give dolls a real treatment?"

As The Huffington. Post said, "Getting kids used to the idea that these things are completely normal and not 6flaws'(缺陷) to be ashamed of can only be a good thing."

When Jane put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.’’ “Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?”

The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.

The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.

Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.

When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kid. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the conventional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.
