专练01 2021年深圳中考英语 阅读理解+完形填空考前抢分练 阅读理解 A In the film Forrest Gump（《阿甘正传》）, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get.” It’s the same with blind boxes（盲盒）. Each of these small, sealed boxes contains one of many toy figures（图形） in a series. The buyers don’t know which figure they’ve gotten until they cut the packaging with scissors. The origin（起源） of blind boxes can be traced back（追溯） to lucky bags sold in Japan from the late 1860s. In recent years it has become big business in China. During the double 11 shopping day, POP MART, a leading blind box company in China, sold 55,000 Labubu dolls on Tmall（天猫商城） in just 9 seconds according to a Tmall report. One reason for their popularity is the lovely appearance of the figures inside the boxes. They’re like tiny cartoon characters. They can be placed anywhere in your home as a decoration（装饰）. But another, perhaps more important reason people like them is to take pleasure in surprise. “The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the gap（差距） between what you expect and what you get, ”said Wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing. The excitement of getting the exact figure you want is like winning a lottery （彩票）. While the boxes are certainly entertaining（娱乐）to some, others worry that children might spend too much money on these toys. “The blind box economy takes advantage of gambling psychology（赌博心理）,” said Liu Chunsheng, an associate professor at Central University of Finance and Economics. “ Young people tend to look for the excitement brought by uncertainty and higher risks, which leads to impulse buying（冲动消费）.” Last year, over 200, 000 Chinese customers spent more than 20, 000 yuan collecting blind boxes. Most of them were Generation Z, or those born after 1995, according to a report by Tmall. 1．Blind boxes came out ________.
