So, join us at the cinema and learn the useful character adjectives! 1．Narcissistic Meaning：If someone is narcissistic, they think they're very special and more important than others.

Example：In the movie The Lion King (1994) directed by Rob Minkoff and Roger Allers, the baddie Scar is extremely calculating.He plots plan to kill his brother, Mufasa.After doing that, he blames this on his nephew, Simba. 3．Demanding Meaning：If someone is demanding，they have very high standards and want everyone else to have these standards too. Example：In the movie The Devil Wears Prada directed by David Frankel, the boss Miranda Priestly is very demanding.She is always working very hard, and she expects everyone else to do the same. 4．Naive Meaning：If someone is naive, they're very innocent and have a lack of experience in life.

So far, Blake, 39, has spent her adult life trying to make up for that.She is a disability­rights activist as well as a freelance (自由职业的) writer whose works have appeared in the New York Times and Glamour, but she gained a national following in 2019 after clapping back at people who made ugly comments about her online. Blake posted a new selfie (自拍) every day.“Some selfies were serious, like the ones where I talked about disabilities or how I was feeling on not­so­good days.Some were fun and silly, but each was a celebration, and each carried a message.However, some people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I'm too ugly.I feel like every time I post a selfie or share something about my life as a disabled woman, it is representation to fight that　， ” Blake told WBUR. Her fans went wild, calling Blake a goddess and a powerful woman.Among her fans is Mindy Scheier, the founder and CEO of Runway of Dreams, which displays fashion for people with disabilities.Last fall, Scheier asked Blake to be one of the event's 24 models. “It was a little scary, ” Blake says of modeling.But she's glad she took the challenge.“When disabled people are included, it sends a message that we should get a seat at the table in all aspects of life.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇人物传记。文章通过Melissa Blake的故事告诉我们：勇气可以打破障碍。 4．Why did fashion show little interest in Blake? A．She failed to follow the fashion. B．She experienced many surgeries. C．Her jeans and dresses were not appropriate. D．Her image was greatly affected by her disability. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段可知， 布莱克身高不足4英尺， 患有遗传性骨骼和肌肉疾病， 她找不到适合自己尺寸的牛仔裤或裙子。因此， 时尚界对布莱克不感兴趣， 是因为她的残疾极大地影响了她的形象。故选D。 5．What made Blake popular with her fans nationwide? A.Her busy life despite her disability. B．Her admirable job as a freelance writer. C．Her brave fight against unkind comments. D．Her good reputation as a disability­rights activist. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“but she gained a national following in 2019 after clapping back at people who made ugly comments about her online.”可知， “她勇敢地与不友善的评论作斗争”让布莱克受到全国粉丝的欢迎。故选C。 6．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Posting a selfie every day. B．Talking about her disability. C．Sharing her negative feelings. D．Banning her from posting selfies. 解析：D　词义猜测题。根据第三段中“However, some people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I'm too ugly.(然而， 有些人说我应该被禁止发布自己的照片， 因为我太丑了)”可知， 她觉得每次发一张自拍或分享关于她作为残疾女性生活的东西， 都是对那种言论的一种对抗。由此推知， 画线词that指代的是“禁止她上传自拍照”。故选D。 7．What can we learn from Blake's story? A．Courage breaks down barriers. B．It is rewarding to try new things. C．The simplest way is the best way. D．Experience is the mother of wisdom. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But she's glad she took the challenge.‘When disabled people are included, it sends a message that we should get a seat at the table in all aspects of life.’(但她很高兴自己接受了挑战。‘当残疾人被纳入其中时， 就传递了一个信息， 那就是我们应该在生活的各个方面都有一席之地。’)”可知， 从布莱克的故事中我们了解到“勇气可以打破障碍”。故选A。 C Instead of going on a trip or buying herself new clothes, Xiao Tong from Wuhan, Hubei Province, chose to celebrate her senior high school graduation in a different way.She went to a beauty clinic to have plastic surgery on her nose.“I want to make a good impression and start my university life with a brand­new look，” the 18­year­old told Changjiang Daily. Like Xiao Tong, many young Chinese are anxious about their looks, and more and more subject themselves to plastic surgery.Young people do it for different reasons, and improving self­confidence is one of them.Wang Fang, 18, from Beijing, felt that her eyes were too small.In 2019, after she got in university, Wang had a minor operation done on her eyelids.“Before I had the surgery, I had a negative view of myself.Therefore, I had no confidence，” Wang told Beijing Youth Daily. Jiang Wenxiu of the Department of Psychiatry, Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University in Nanjing, advised that people should think twice before going under the knife.“If you have big problems with your look, you should wait until you are an adult, and then decide if you want to do something about it，” Jiang said.“Then, with a stable (稳定的) mind, maybe you can consider inner and outer beauty, and whether plastic surgery is for you.” Today beauty clinics are well aware that these young students are mostly short of money, so they use summer discounts, installment plans (分期付款购买) and other ways to attract their attention.Xiao Zhen, 17, from Chengdu, Sichuan Province, is one of the victims.She took out a loan (贷款) of about 20，000 yuan to get plastic surgery.But the large sum of money became a big burden.She had to drop out of school and go to work to pay off the loan. Besides the financial burden, potential health risks of plastic surgery also need to be considered.“Medical beauty apps only show how great plastic surgery can be，” Jiang told China Daily，“They leave out all the negative things.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了整容手术在年轻人中流行，同时还列举了一些整容手术带来的不良后果。 8．Why does the author mention Xiao Tong in the first paragraph? A．To make a definition of plastic surgery. B．To introduce a new way to start university. C．To introduce the topic of plastic surgery. D．To praise her bravery to live a different life. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第一段及下文内容可知，本文主要围绕整容手术展开，文章首段提到的Xiao Tong，只是众多进行整容手术的年轻人中的一例，作者以此例引出文章话题。 9．Why do so many young Chinese have plastic surgery? A．They want to gain a better academic performance in their university. B．They want to avoid others' negative comments on their looks. C．They just follow the trend of having plastic surgery. D．They are in pursuit of beauty and becoming confident. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“many young Chinese are anxious about their looks”以及“Young people do it for different reasons, and improving self­confidence is one of them.”可知，年轻人选择整容手术的原因有很多，其中之一就是容貌焦虑，他们想通过整容手术让形象更好，让自己变得更加自信。 10．What is Jiang Wenxiu's attitude towards plastic surgery?

A．Promotions of plastic surgery don't give a full picture. B．Adults can have plastic surgery as they like. C．Students have to take out a loan to become beautiful. D．The plastic surgery should be banned in China. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘Medical beauty apps only show how great plastic surgery can be，’ Jiang told China Daily，‘They leave out all the negative things.’”可知，整容手术的营销往往会回避它的危害，展示不出全貌。 D When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk.In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person — that is, by looking at their profile photos. According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality.In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66, 000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3, 200 of their tweets.At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality types.The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality traits — like openness, extroversion, and neuroticism(神经质) — and a person's profile picture. According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos because they enjoy new and exciting experiences.Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their negative emotions.They try to avoid showing their face.Instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building. Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some hints about the photo's owner.For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote. Although social media photos “usually represent an extension of one's self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view, ” according to the researchers.So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we'd like to convey.After all, first impressions always last.
