Answer the questions.（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（7分） Kuakuaqun is social media chat groups that people pay a little money to join and are paid to show kindness, support and comfort to others in the group. The new chat groups have become popular with young people. According to media reports, the first such online praise group was formed by a few users of Douban, one of the major online social networks, for fun. However, the idea has caught on and praise-seeking chat groups have become popular among college students across the country. It was hard to understand Kuakuaqun at first. What kind of value do kind words have if I am paying someone to say them? Lin Yingying from Quanzhou described the groups as “a joke”, but also offered some insight (见解). “We rarely hear nice things in real life,” Lin said, “maybe we are not good at telling people...that we are not feeling well...” She thinks it is easier for people to share their problems online. Kuakuaqun doesn’t only exist in China. No matter where you come from, it is common to hear someone say, “You are not good enough.” There is a certain beauty in giving encouragement to others. Perhaps that is why so many young people have joined the groups. A reporter from Russia Today wrote about a post in which someone admitted that they woke up at 2 pm one day. One user replied, “You must care about your health very much as you sleep for so long, praise you.” That praise sounds hollow, but the humor doesn’t. Maybe that is the real value. A good joke can brighten anybody’s day. Experts have said that the popularity of Kuakuaqun reflects the users’ stressful, anxious and lonely mentalities (心态). It creates a positive and friendly environment for people that may help them get confidence again. 53. What is Kuakuaqun? ___________________________________________ 54. Where have praise-seeking chat groups become popular? ___________________________________________ 55. It was easy to understand Kuakuaqun at first, wasn’t it? ___________________________________________ 56.

Why or why not? ____________________________________________ VII. Writing（作文）（共10分） 59.
