内容正文:
comparisons can make us feel good and bad
about ourselves.“Comparing up”means
seeing someone doing better than you and
using that to inspire yourself to aim higher
and try harder.However,she says,
"Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish
about yourself and knock your confidence."
“Comparing down”is when you see
someone who seems like they're not doing
as well as you."This might make you feel
you're doing well,”says Becky,“but it can
also stop you wanting to improve."
Escape the comparison trap.
If your feelings depend on what other
people are doing,"Stay with cheerleaders
(拉拉队长),”suggests Becky.Spend time
with friends who make you confident rather
than compare themselves to you.Find some
people that make you laugh or show you
lovely places.Finally,pay attention to your
own achievements and how you can
improve."The best person you can compete
with is yourself,"says Becky.

Like many ABCs American-born
Chinese)and young Chinese immigrants
(移民),sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung
took great interest in Chinese food after
they'd grown up,but found it really hard to
learn how to prepare it.There was such a
“gap”,as Sarah put it,compared with
:
western recipes(菜谱)presented on TVs or
blogs.
As it turns out,though,the Leungs
have right positions to do something about
this.Bill,the father,had spent years
cooking beef at his family's Chinese
American restaurant.Judy,the mother,
was born and raised in Shanghai and had
deep knowledge about traditional
Shanghainese cooking.Meanwhile,the two
sisters had grown up in the New Jersey
country,eating their parents'food,but also
growing in American food culture.
So,in 2013,the Leungs started a blog
called The Woks of Life.Different from
other food blogs,it's intergenerational
heritage(代际传承)cooking culture.The
four family members took turns posting
recipes,each sharing their own favorites
with their area of expert knowledge.
Kaitlin says that The Woks of Life
follows along line of pioneers-like Joyce
Chen,Martin Yan and Ming Tsai,who
first started to bring Chinese home cooking
into the US and got more attention."We
feel excited we've made a meaningful task
over these years,explaining that there is a
huge need for these recipes in the US,"she
says."It's about the gap,yes,but there's
also a huge need.Asian Americans look to
reconnect with the food of their heritage."
"Five years ago,you wouldn't have
been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in
the New York Times,”Kaitlin says.“Now
you can find them from blogs like The Woks
of Life.”

views or situations.
3A period of time when sth.
stops or between two events.
④A space where sth.is
missing.
A.①B.②C.③
D.④
()17.What is the author's purpose in
writing Para.2?

home cooking food.
B.To introduce the Leungs'food
blog to young people.
C.To point out the Leungs'
advantages to start a food
blog.
