12、ed. Those who are popular in the world of wanghong are largely famous for their heavily Photoshopped selfies(自拍) and the special lifestyles they advertise on social media.The same thing is happening overseas as well. There are many women addicted to posting photos. This has led to the rise of “Insta
13、gram Husbands”, men who are willingor most likely forcedto take photos of their wives or girlfriends for their Instagram accounts.But what wanghong offer their fans is much more than many pretty pictures. “There is a longing for the effortless of life,” commented China Youth Daily.Though their lifes
14、tyle may seem “effortless”, some wanghong take great pains to run their Taobao stores, communicate with their fans and think of ways to keep their viewership(收视率), for example.Zhang Dayi, a famous wanghong with over 4 million followers on Sina Weibo, revealed some of her secrets for attracting fans.
15、 “Usually people look up to celebrities at a 45-degree angle. But I reduced that angle to 15 degrees, because no one likes to strain their necks too much,” she said.

20、ve us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive. However, what job or school requires you to develop a cure for some of cancer by the age of 18?

Youll only become an expert when you devote your time to that one project that truly brings you joy.As members of this society, we have a responsibility to
23、 be excellent in what we do, not perfect. Although perfection can be a goal, it should not be the only - 6 -goal. We only have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week.

27、riends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a caf called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom Alex used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Ale
28、x, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the caf, he quickly - 7 -ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes late
29、r was Markings, a book by a former Secrctary-General of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting（笔迹）.It turned out that the summer before, at a c
30、oncert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange（交换）addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to Califo
31、rnia, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it.

Alexs friend form California.D- 8 -“If we can set it up so you cant unlock your phone unless youve got the right fingerprint(指纹),” Barack Obama asked last Tuesday, “why cant we do th
34、e same thing for our guns?” For this reasonable-sounding question, the president was praised throughout the media.As it happens, though, there is a good answer to this question: there is no market for guns that work just some of the time. Guns are simple things designed to operate as easily and reli
35、ably as possible. The introduction of electronics eats away this simplicity, and to a degree that is absolutely unacceptable to the consumer. As President Obama well knows, the fingerprint software on his phone works rather erratically: Often it takes a user two or three tries to log in; occasionall
36、y, it falls asleep deeply and obeys the password. When this happens on an phone, the user is mildly inconvenienced. If this were to happen on a gun, the user would be dead. There is a reason that modern smartphones put the camera function outside of the authentication(认证) process.How could we possib
37、ly think that guns are the same as other commercial products?

But it matters enormously that a car is not intended to hurt people, and that in a perfec
38、t world nobody would ever be injured by one. Can we say the same of guns? Of course not. Guns are killing machines, designed to do damage to living things. In fact, they have no other purpose. As such, the salient(突出的) question before any free people is not “are guns dangerous?” they are, but “who g
39、ets them, and why?”This is not to say that nothing at all can be done to improve public safety. On an individual level, gun owners should do everything to ensure that their guns are kept away from children, and, where possible, they should train themselves in case they are ever called upon to shoot
40、in anger. At the national level, the combination of better policing and economic growth can help to reduce crimeand, indeed, it has. In 1993, gun crime was more than twice as common as it is now, and there were fewer guns in circulation. Unpleasant as it is in its - 9 -own right, that we have reache
41、d the point at which two-thirds of all guns-related deaths are deliberately self-inflicted (自虐) is a small victory. How to deal with those deaths that remain? That is a tricky one. I do not know the answer, and nor, frankly, does anybody else. But selling fantasies to the ignorant is not going to cu
42、t it. 32.What does the writer mainly argue in this passage? A. Gun crime has been greatly reduced.B. The idea of smart guns is not realistic.C. Gun control will not succeed in America. D. Guns-related deaths deserve public attention.33.The underlined word “erratically” in Paragraph 2 probably means

Traveling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than on Fridays and Sundays. During the holiday
48、s, its not just about a specific day of the week. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday but days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. One of the best ways to save is to plan your air travel on the day of the holiday. 38. Consider traveling overnight.
