【題目】Can you touch your belly button(肚臍) 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(柔韌的) 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(趨勢) 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

【題目】

What is the best-selling book in the world? Is it the Harry Potter series or Secret Garden? According to the Guinness World Records, the Xinhua Dictionary, published by the Commercial Press in China, is the world’s most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.

In 1950, Chinese language experts(專家) and scholars, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit(編輯) the Xinhua Dictionary. There was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. Some hand scripts (稿件) were checked again and again like compositions, People’s Daily reported. Many people’s hard work and interesting stories went into making the dictionary.

In 1953, the first Xinhua Dictionary was published. Today, 567 million copies of the dictionary have been sold worldwide.

However, revisions (修訂) to the dictionary continue to be made. According to Yu Guilin from Commercial Press, editors(編輯) usually summarize (總結(jié)) the meaning of words again while revising. If the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples. “To give a correct explanation of the word ‘焗油 (deep condition)’ , one editor went to a barber shop (理發(fā)店) to experience it for himself,” Yu told the Beijing Times. So far, the Xinhua Dictionary has been revised 11 times.

To keep up with the times, some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary. For example, in the 11th edition, the phrases “曬工資 (show off salary)” and “曬照片 (show off pictures)” were included.

All these efforts create the “National Dictionary” of China. The Xinhua Dictionary is not only a useful tool for generations of Chinese people. It also helps foreigners who are learning the Chinese language and culture.
