I' ve been short for pretty much my whole life and a lot of people have made fun of me for it. But the thing is, it doesn't really matter that much. I know it hurts when your classmates make fun of you, but this will happen less often as you grow up. There will always be some people who will judge(评判) you based on(基于) your height. But there isn't anything you can do to change(改变) their minds. And if someone thinks less of you because of your height, they' re probably not someone who is worth(值得) getting to know anyway.

B WeChat is a Chinese social media mobile application (应用软件) developed by Tencent. People began to use it in 2011. It lets us chat, send pictures, make free phone and video calls and look at friends' photos. WeChat Pay has become an institution(机构) in China, and it plays a key role in turning China into a largely cashless (不用现金) society. And it's changing Chinese traditions, too. One example is hongbao. In the past, people would send friends and families hongbao on Chinese New Year, birthdays or wedding, but now billions of digital red packets are sent and received by people through WeChat instead. The app is such a must- have, though it is mainly just popular in one country. It is one of the world's most popular social media applications, with 963 million users. Now WeChat has offered WeChat Pay functionality (功能) in some other countries around the world. Such functionality is aimed at Chinese users while they travel overseas. ( )55.

People began to use WeChat in 2012. B. WeChat is popular all over the world. C. WeChat has 963 million users. D. WeChat isn't developed by Tencent. C Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows. They are very popular all over China. These talent shows give everyone a chance to show off their talents. For some lucky people, these shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate(模仿) the people they love. They may forget about their own style. Second, young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being a star, so they spend less time on their studies. I think TV talent shows are social activities. Young people can join in these activities to get social experience. But they should know that the chance of being famous is very small for most people and they should know that their schoolwork is much more important. In a word, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not. ( )60. Young people always dream of .

Some young people spend more time on their studies. C. In China, TV talent shows are very popular. D. These shows only have good sides. 第二节 阅读还原(共5小题； 每小题2分，满分 10分) 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。(每个选项只用一次，选项中有一项为多余选项) You work hard to learn English.
