People often make “fat jokes”, but fat-shaming is no laughing matter; neither is fit-shaming. I spoke to two women wh

2、o were shamed for being fat, and then, after losing weight, shamed for being fit. Sarah Moore is a 29-year-old mother of three from Indiana, US. She became a personal trainer after losing more than 45 kg. She remembers the fat-shaming she bore before her weight loss. When waiting to get on a roller

3、coaster once, people behind her were complaining about the wait, and the attendant (服务人员) told them, “Dont worry. Shes not going to fit on here, and youll be next.” But after losing weight, Moore said people commented on her body even more. “Now I get comments like, Are you sure you can eat that? be

4、cause theyre worried Ill regain the weight,” she said. How does it make her feel? “Fat-shaming made me feel sad and helpless, and fit-shaming makes me angry,” she said. Changes in body weight can also influence relationships. It can upset the balance because others can get jealous. People who l

5、ose weight can experience personality changes, such as an increase in confidence, which also influences relationships. Fit-shaming has been harder to handle for Andrea Sereda, a 38-year-old social worker in Canada. She said judgment of her body is something shes faced for years. Sereda said that whe

6、n she was 9, her grandfather told her at a birthday party, “I dont think you should eat cake,” and made comments about how many calories each bite contained as she ate it. She also experienced similar things in college. The judgment of Seredas body increased after she lost 57 kg. “Its worse with peo

7、ple who knew me from before,” Sereda said. “People constantly say, Youre so skinny now youre going to disappear.”  It was mostly friends making such comments. Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively to Seredas new physique (体型). “I was afraid of going out and having to fiel

8、d all these comments,” Sereda said. “I had to learn how to handle it.”  Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight, it doesnt make them fair game for commentary on their new shape. Everyone deserves to live free of being body shamed, regardless of how they look.21. Sarah

9、 Moore is shamed for being fit after losing weight mainly because _.A. people still judge her new body shapeB. she lost too much weight after her dietC. her personality changed for the betterD. people are all jealous of her new look22.

11、que.C. To encourage them to maintain their shape.D. To remind them to be careful with their diet.BDigital technology has made life easier for most people. With a smartphone in hand, people can shop online, watch TV shows and arrange a taxi. Zhu Yiwei, 17, from Anhui province, wanted his grandfather

12、to have access to this convenience, so he bought him a new phone as a gift. But his grandfather still uses the phone just for calling and messaging. “He said other functions make him confused,” said Zhu.This is a common problem faced by the elderly in the digital age. Although China already has more

13、 than 900 million Internet users, among them, those aged 60 and above make up just 6.7 percent, according to the Statistical Report on Internet Development. Even though the elderly have access to the Internet, they mainly do it for communication and information acquisition, according to a survey by

14、the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Other services are still strange to them. Thats why elderly people are sometimes called “digital refugees”. For example, since the COVID-19 pandemic, people are often asked to show a green health code on their phone to get into public places. But most elderly

15、people dont use smartphones. Even if they have one, many dont know how to operate it, Peoples Daily noted.“We have made a lifelong contribution to society, but now we feel abandoned by it,” a 75-year-old Beijing resident surnamed Bai told the Global Times. For the elderly, one way of mastering digit

16、al technology is to learn from younger family members. However, not all of these younger people have the patience or time to teach the elderly. In addition, aging results in many physical problems, such as weak eyesight and bad memory. This makes it harder to use smartphones. The government and othe

17、r organizations in China are trying to help. See Young, a Beijing-based NGO, aims to help Chinas elderly use mobile services. Student volunteers have been providing free computer and smartphone training for elderly people in over 200 communities across the country.Zhao Jingchuan, 17, from Xian Gaoxi

18、n No 1 High School, and his team members also tried to help. This year, their draft proposal was brought to the two sessions.

22、 has many benefits. New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, confirms the same: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory. “When you write your shopping list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember

23、 the content better afterwards,” said Audrey van der Meer, author of the study.The study was conducted using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 children. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subj

24、ect was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood with over 250 electrodes (电极). The sensors in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.The results showed that the brain

25、in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences build contact

26、between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.Van der Meer believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but its important for childr

27、en to go through the tiring phase of learning to write by hand,” she said. The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are beneficial in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills a

28、nd senses. Its important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture.27. Whats the main purpose of the text? A. To encourage us to write essays by hand.B. T
