Li Mei feels worried about her looks — not her face, but her clothing. When she sees fashionable people on the street, she tries her best not to run into them. “I’m afraid that they think I’m out of style,” says ateenager from Chengdu, Sichuan.
What Li is experiencing is fashion anxiety(焦虑).It bothers many people today.And she is not the only.Last month, an internet user shared a video about her fashion anxiety on Sina Weibo, and it quickly causeda discussion.
A big reason for fashion anxiety is fashion bullying(霸凌) among people.As fashion magazines, advertisements(广告)keep showing the “latest and greatest” fashion,teenagers think they need to follow them, no matter how expensive it might be. “The need to be in a group is very important to young learners. They are sad and worried if they aren’t there,” said Andy Cranham, a teacher, at City of Bristol College in the UK.
Another reason some people might have fashion anxiety is that they are not confident(自信的)enough to know why we care so much about how fashionable people look at us. The fact is that those people usually don’t notice usat all.
Fashion comes, goes and changes all the time. The key is to find your own style. If you’re able to wearsomething with confidence, you may probably start a new fashion. What you need to focus on is not what fashion is but what kind of fashion you can create(创造).
31. From paragraph 1, what we can know
A. What is Li Mei good at
B. What makes Li Mei worried
C. What do fashionable people look like
32. What does the underlined word “bothers” in paragraph 2 mean
A.(使)烦恼 B.(使)改变 C. (使)自信

34. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE
A. Teenagers should follow the latest fashion to get popular.
B. Young people will feel sad if they are in a fashion group.
C. Creating a new fashion is more important than following it.
35. Why did the writer write the passage

B. To tell people to stay away from fashion.
C. To encourage people to be more confident.

I finally stopped fighting my lifelong love of traveling. I left my job to do it full time. I’ve been traveling theworld on my own since 2018. In the past years, I’ve been to 25 countries (if not for COVID-19, it would have beenat least 10 more!). Now I’d like to talk about my experience in New Zealand.
Of the two islands in New Zealand, I liked the North Island better. It was my first stop. When I was inWellington, I stayed in Karori. It only needs a 10-minute bus ride to the center. I got a beautiful view of the cityand went to a free museum. I learned about the city’s past there. Rotorua is also a good place. It is known for its hot springsand mudbaths(泥浴).I had never heard of an acidic(酸性的)pool,but I found that it did help with achesand pains. Then I spent half a day learning about Maori customs and starting with a village tour. After a walk around the shops,I enjoyed a lot of corn cooked in their thermal baths(温泉浴).
After visiting the North Island, I went to the South Island. Lake Tekapo might be the most beautiful lake Ihave ever seen. Its color in the sun forced me to sit down and enjoy. The night sky was wonderful, with a smallchurch for perfect photos. I had to say that the mutton here was really delicious. It was a pity I ate it only when I was about to leave the island.
All in all, I was lucky to experience the wonders of both islands and the culture. I started my blog, HeatherBegins. You can find some advice on a journey in New Zealand there.
41. When did the writer start travelling the world by himself
42. Did the writer stay near the center of New Zealand
