(A)
Salt
is
a
must-have
seasoning
in
our
homes.
But
having
too
much
of
it
may
cause
health
problems, from strokes to heart
disease. So should we just give it up? Well, for
salt lovers who
also like to look after
their health, the good news is that Japanese
scientists (25) ________ (give)
us a

created an electric salt-flavored fork. The

The smartphones that can take selfies
(
自拍照
) have set us free. We
can now document every
moment
of
our
life
and
instantly
share
it
with
the
world
through
the
Internet.
However,
some
believe that it's also causing people
to take __41__ risks that sometimes prove to be
deadly!
According to recent reports,
the __42__ to take a breathtaking selfie killed 12
people last year.
Though that may not
seem like a lot, it's 33% more than the death from
shark attacks.
While
the
__43__
has
been
known
for
a
while,
it
came
to
a
head
on
September
21,
2015,
following the __44__
death of Hideto Ueda at the Taj Mahal in New
Delhi. It turned out that the
66-year-
old Japanese and his companion were trying to take
a selfie with the Royal Gate as the
background when they fell down some
stairs.
Other
fatal
accidents
this
year
include
a
21-year-old
Russian
woman
who
fell
off
a
bridge
while trying to
__45__ an exciting selfie. Three Indian students
__46__ a similar fate after they
were
run over by a train while taking a selfie on the
railway tracks.
The
rising
number
of
injuries
is
forcing
officials
to
take
measures.
Russia
has
begun
a
nationwide
__47__
program
to
make
its
young
citizens
realize
the
dangers
of
this
hobby.
The
campaign's
slogan
is:
Even
a
million
on
social
media
are
not
worth
your
life
and
well-
being.
Though
no
other
country
has
followed
their
lead,
many
are
banning
the
selfie
sticks!
The
Museum of Modem Art in
New York and the Getty Center in Los Angeles are
among those to
have __48__ a ban on the
selfie sticks, claiming concerns over the safety
of their artwork as well
as visitors.
While
these
measures
may
help
reduce
the
incidents,
the
only
way
to
stop
selfie-related
injuries and deaths is to take __49__ -
not just for themselves but for their friends. So
next time
you decide to take a selfie
that appears a little __50__, be sure to stop and
ask yourself: is it worth
it?
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Healthy
self-esteem
is
like
a
child's
armor
against
the
challenges
of
the
world.
Kids
who
know their strengths and weaknesses and
feel good about themselves seem to have a(n)
__51__
time handling conflicts and
__52__ negative pressures. They tend to smile more
readily and enjoy
life. These kids are
realistic and generally optimistic. In contrast,
kids with low self-esteem can
find
challenges to be sources of major anxiety and
__53__. Those who think poorly of themselves
have a hard time finding solutions to
problems. If given to self-critical thoughts such
as
good
new challenge, their
immediate response might be
Self-esteem
is __55__ to self-worth (how much a person values
himself or herself). This can
change
from
day
to
day
or
from
year
to
year,
but
__56__
self-
esteem
tends
to
develop
from
infancy and keep going until we are
adults.
Self-esteem also can be __57__
as feeling capable while also feeling loved. A
child who is
happy with a(n) __58__ but
does not feel loved may __59__ experience low
self-esteem. Likewise,
a
child
who
feels
loved
but
is
hesitant
about
his
or
her
own
abilities
can
also
develop
low
self-esteem. Healthy self-esteem comes
when a good __60__ is maintained.
Patterns
of
self-
esteem
start
very
early
in
life.
The
concept
of
success
following
effort
and
__61__
starts early. Once people reach adulthood, it's
harder to make changes to how they see and
define
themselves.
So,
it's
wise
to
think
about
developing
and
__62__
self-esteem
during
childhood.
As
kids
try,
fail,
try
again,
fail
again,
and
then
finally
succeed,
they
develop
ideas
about their own capabilities. At the
same time, they're creating a self-concept __63__
interactions
with
other
people.
This
is
why
parental
__64__
is
key
to
helping
kids
form
accurate,
healthy
self-perceptions.
Parents
and
caregivers
can
promote
healthy
self-esteem
by
showing
encouragement
and
enjoyment
in
many
areas.
__65__
focusing
on
one
specific
area,
for
example,
success
on
a
spelling
test, which can lead to kids feeling that they're
only as valuable as their test scores.

Life
for Ron and Joanne Wickham used to be full of
soccer games, birthday parties, school
plays,
and
parent-teacher
conferences.
For
most
of
the
past
20
years,
they
spent
their
evenings
reminding
their
children
to
do
homework
and
helping
them
complete
it.
Now
the
evenings
are
empty except for TV, and the weekends
seem to last forever. The children whose
activities used to
fill their time have
moved away and have left empty spaces. The Wickham
parents have what is
usually called
Empty-Nests Syndrome.
Ron and Joanne
both work for the Heritage Insurance Company in
Ukiah, California. In their
mid-50s,
they
have
two
children,

Josh.

Fullerton and is looking
for a banking job in the Bay Area. Josh is still a

echo,
Empty-nesters everywhere know the
feeling. They are entering a new stage of life,
but they
remain tied to their former
stage. They are typically between the ages of 48
and 60 - still working,
still
involved
in
their
communities,
still
rooted.
This
means
they
aren't
free
to
travel
for
entertainment or to pull
up stakes and move elsewhere. Generally, they live
in the homes where
they raised their
children. Their daily routines
may
still echo their full-nest days, with wake-up
times
meant
for
driving
kids
to
school
or
meals
that
include
the
children's
favorite
foods.
Therapists
point
out
that
Empty-Nest
Syndrome
doesn't
last
forever.
a
so-called
empty

to

normal
and
new

to
all
