【题目】

How nice are you? Do you give money to homeless people? Do you offer your seat to someone in need on a bus?

Many people believe that confident people think more highly of themselves, while those who have low self-esteem (自尊) think less of their good qualities. However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.

The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychology professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population. In the study, Freeman first asked some people to rate (评级) their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like “Do you give directions to strangers?” and “Have you ever donated blood?”. The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood.

In another study by psychologists from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been more or less changed to make them appear more attractive（有吸引力的）. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones.

So, why do we think we’re nicer than we actually are? There are many theories (理论). A popular one says we unknowingly cheat ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other.

How can we solve it? Other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback (反馈). Compare others’ opinion toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture.

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

Popular among many young Chinese female users on Weibo, the topic --- which translates as “reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure” ----was mentioned more than 130 million times among Weibo readers.

It not only led to over 104,000 active discussions, but also brought about the care about what means a healthy body image.

“Look! Success. More than four hours but I’ve finally reached my belly button,” said Weibo user GayleRabbit.

Another user Lucy 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 eyes. “Is this pose really that difficult? I don't think so,” said Weibo user Sough Sa. His photo showing he was trying to touch his belly button drew 2,634 likes and was shared more than 8,452 times.

“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(柔韧的) arms or a skinny waist to achieve it?” asked Weibo user Chantilly623.

But some experts argued that China’s new belly button trend was actually distoring(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 at Aware, a non-governmental organization in Singapore championing women's rights.

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(肌肉) has a better chance of achieving the pose.

【1】Between which two paragraphs can the following sentence be put in ?------“A new social trend(趋势) has started in China, with thousands of netizens facing the challenge and uploading photographs of themselves to show off their bodies”

A. Para1 and Para2 B. Para3and Para4

C. Para7 and Para8 D. Para9 and Para10

【2】 What can we learn from the passage?
A. Boys are not interested in this 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.
