21、Positive Body Image Isn’t Enough

Body image as a construct focuses on our relationship with what our bodies look like. Most research in the field that’s been conducted with adolescent girls has focused on negative body image and its association with things like body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. 【1】 The Dove Self-Esteem Project is a leader in this evolution. Its website states that “our mission is to ensure that the next generation grows up enjoying a positive relationship with the way they look - helping young people raise their self-respect and realize their full potential.”

To fulfill this goal, we need to find ways to promote positive embodiment — that is, healthy ways of subjectively experiencing one’s body in the world that go above and beyond the way we look to the outside world.

1. Promote mindful self-care. In today’s “selfie” culture, where it seems like everything is about appearance, how do we help teens focus on the subjective, lived-in experiences in their bodies? One way is to promote mindful self-care — defined by Cook-Cottone (2015) as behaviors that cultivate an active appreciation for, and engagement with, the body. So, things that promote mind-body connection, like mindfulness, art, and the physical care of the body. 【2】

2. 【3】 Girls learn from a very young age that their bodies are valued for what they look like. Thus, it’s important to promote body functionality, which encompasses “everything the body is capable of doing — rather than how it looks” (Alleva, Veldhuis, & Martijn, 2016, p. 10). For example, focusing on how strong a girl’s legs are and how they help her run and play soccer, rather than how “cute” she looks in her uniform.

3. Look at the social context. Positive embodiment doesn’t develop on its own. Teens are under pressure from all directions, including peers, social media, and parents. 【4】 And we can challenge society as a whole to promote places and spaces where girls can develop positive embodiment in a well-rounded way.

A．In promoting these activities, we can encourage teens to focus on how they feel from within when engaged in these pursuits — rather than what they looked like while doing them.

B．As such, we can model ways of engaging in activities that promote positive embodiment and encourage girls to surround themselves with peers who do the same.

C．Although body image plays a role in having positive embodiment, the two don’t always go hand-in-hand.

D．In recent years, however, there has been a movement toward focusing on positive body image.

E．Be confident of body image.

F．Focus on body functionality.

22、Discussions about the impact of false news often center on our preference of confirmation: we tend to believe and share things that fit with our prior beliefs. A new study finds that we're poor judges of truthfulness even when we can't trust a particular source—and we overestimate our powers of judgment.

In three experiments, the researchers asked participants to record two short videos, one to describe a real-life news event and one to make up an event. They were told they would get a reward if viewers thought that the events described in either video were true. Viewers, for their part, were paid both for accuracy and for correctly estimating their accuracy.

Across all the experiments, viewers’ ability to distinguish lies from truth stayed at or just above 50%, just like flipping(抛) a coin to decide. They believed false videos and doubted true ones. More than 65% of men and 61% of women thought they'd performed better than they actually had.

In one of the experiments, the researchers explored whether certain behaviors exhibited in the videos were associated with lying. This pointed to several clues, and analysis suggested that viewers noticed the clues, but they tended to interpret them in the wrong direction. For example, they judged wordier videos to be true.

In the final experiment, some viewers were shown eight videos, including one shared by a previous viewer because he or she found it to be interesting and believable. They selected one of the eight to watch and assess for truthfulness. Knowing that a video had been shared greatly increased the chances that participants would choose it to watch, and they believed what the previous viewer had thought to be true. Actually most of the shared videos were false and had been misjudged by the first viewers.

“The combination of overconfidence and being bad at detecting lies, with an overreliance on shared content, may explain why fake news is so prominent and influential,” the researchers write.

【1】How do people judge false news according to the new study?

A．On the basis of careful research.

B．According to personal preferences.

C．Based on the influence of the news.

D．After attending a group discussion.

【2】What can we learn about the participants in the experiments?

A．Most of them performed better than expected.

B．Some of them flipped coins to make a judgment.

C．They tended to see the clues in the opposite way.

D．They made good judgment when given good clues.

【3】What affected the judgment of some participants in the final experiment?

A．The opinions of previous viewers.

B．Their ability to tell lies from truth.

C．The number of videos offered to them.

D．The nature of the behaviors in the videos.

【4】What's the text mainly about?

A．It's important to tell false news from real news.

B．Shared videos usually carry misjudged news.

C．False news is made by combining several forces.

D．Preferences determine our judgment of fake news.

24、Arouca Geopark in Portugal has announced that visitors are free to visit its record-setting bridge, the 516 Arouca Bridge. Though it’s quite high, it’s the length of the bridge that has set a record. It’s the world’s longest hanging bridge for walkers.

The bridge runs between two mountains in Arouca Geopark. The “516” in its name comes from the fact that it’s 516 meters. Until the 516 Arouca Bridge was completed, the longest hanging bridge for walkers was the 494-meter-long Charles Kuonen Bridge in Randa, Switzerland. To replace an older crossing that was damaged by falling rocks, it was opened to the public five years ago, as the website for what is now the world’s second longest hanging bridge says.

The 516 Arouca Bridge, started in May, 2018, is made mainly of metal. It cost $2.8 million and took two years to complete. However, it was not until one year later that the bridge was officially opened. It is a little scary to walk on. The sides and bottom of the bridge are built with a metal grid (网格) and it’s easy to see through it At its highest point, the bridge is 175 meters off the ground. Far, far below is the rushing Paiva River.

Arouca Geopark is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and the many outdoor activities. Arouca’s leader, Margarida Belém, says proudly, “There’s no other bridge like this one in the world.” All of the city leaders think the bridge can attract people from all over the world for a lot of different reasons. Some might come for the scenery. Others might come to see how the bridge was built. But perhaps most will come to enjoy the safe, but scary experience of walking across. Its website describes the walk as “the most exciting 516 meters of your life”.

A．Arouca Geopark.
