Can you touch your belly button (肚脐) by reaching behind your back and around your waist?

A new social trend has started in China, with thousands of netizens facing the challenge and uploading photographs of themselves to show off their bodies. Popular among many young female users on Weibo, the top, which translate as “reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure,” was mentioned more than130 million times among Weibo users.

It not only spawned over 104,000 active discussions, but also led to concern about what means a healthy body image. “Look! It has taken me more than four hours but I’ve finally reached my belly button,” said Weibo user GayleRabbit. Another user Lucky said, “Why does my belly button suddenly look and feel completely new?”

While the trend was popular with many female users on Weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger caught people’s eye. “Is this pose (姿势) really that difficult? I don’t think so,” Said Weibo user Sough Sa. His photo showing he was trying to touch his belly button was shared more than 8,452 times. It also drew over 2,000 comments from other users on Weibo. “Show the skinny girls how it’s done,” said one user.

Weibo user MedicalCream Tang Zhao said, “Now you did it! So you don’t have to lose weight and please stay the same.”

“I always support failures. Now I don’t feel so bad about not being able to touch my belly button,” said another user Jacket.

“Do we need to have flexible arms or a skinny waist to pull this off?” asked Weibo user Chantilly623.

But some experts argued that China’s new belly button trend was actually distorting (歪曲) society’s standards of beauty. “These poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they also become an expression of competitiveness,” said Jolene Tan, Programmes and Communications Senior Manager in Singapore championing women’s rights. She also told the BBC that the trend seemed to be a way of examining women’s bodies to see whether they are good enough. However, experienced body trainers say the new trend is about flexibility of the arm and the size of the waist, rather than a good figure. A skinny person with fewer muscles has a better chance of achieving the pose.

1.The underlined word “spawned” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____________”.

A. brought about B. put off

C. commented on D. resulted from

2.What can we learn from the above passage?

A. Boys show no interest in this new trend.

B. GayleRabbit reached her belly button on her first try.

C. Sough Sa’s photo of reaching his belly button was popular online.

D. Jacket felt sorry for not being able to touch his belly button.

3.What is experienced body trainers’ attitude towards the new trend meaning a good figure?

C. Doubtful. D. Worried.

I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby's point of view.

Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.

It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four­hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock­watching schedule was Dr.Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.

Well, at last we have copper­bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample (样本) of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child's sex and age, the mother's health and feeding style. These results don't surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.

I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.

1.According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels ________.

A．sick B．upset

C．sleepy D．hungry

2.What does the author think about Dr.King?

A．He is strict.

B．He is unkind.

C．He has the wrong idea.

D．He sets a timetable for mothers.

3.The word copper­bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.

A．basic B．reliable

C．surprising D．interesting

4.What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?

A．The baby will sleep well.

B．The baby will have its brain harmed.

C．The baby will have a low blood sugar level.

D．The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.

5.The author supports feeding the baby ________.

A．in the night

B．every four hours

C．whenever it wants food

D．according to its blood sugar level
