  I Am What I Am （also known as Lion Dance Boy），a Chinese animated feature released on Dec 17，2021，has found itself in the eye of a social media storm---about eyes.
     The film revolves around three teenagers from Guangdong province who set out to master the traditional lion dance.While ancient culture is （1）

  to the plot，the setting is very much the real--world China of today.This alone sets the film apart from most recent Chinese animated （2）

  ：works of high fantasy related to mythology.
     Pushing the realism，the filmmakers opted to give the characters relatively small eyes.The idea was to break away from the "beauty standards of online （3）

  and filter aesthetic （审美）"and to try "to explore the aesthetic in animation-from an angle of reality，" writes The Global Times，paraphrasing producer Miao Zhang.
     For some，though，the designs don't represent Chinese people so much as（4）

  stereotypes of them.Viewers have taken to social media to condemn the film.
     "This is how Chinese people were exaggeratedly portrayed during the （5）

  period.We've.jye.ai discriminated against for so long that this doesn't look so strange to some people"reads one Weibo user comment.Another wrote an essay arguing that "narrowed" eyes is a greater（6）

  to a Chinese person than imagining a Black person eating watermelon and fried chicken in the United States.Large eyes are very common in Chinese cg films.For Zhang，this reflects absorption of foreign ideas，not the small eyes his film contains.The Global Times continues：
     The response to narrowed eyes" of the character shows that we lack aesthetic （7）

  and our aesthetic view of animation has been homogenized （统一化） given the huge influence of Japanese and American animation and the selection of such an ordinary boy perfectly depicts his spirit of strengthen and （8）

     I Am What I Am is popular with those who have seen it，earning user scores of 8.3 and 9.5 respectively on film reviewing platforms Douban and Maoyan.Its Chinese box office to date is 164.6 million yuan，according to Entaroup.

  scene from the latest romantic comedy B for Busy （爱情神话），which is starred by attractive actresses such as Ma Yili，Ni Hongjie and Wu Yue.
     With the audience merrily immersed in the carefully designed plots and lines of the film，the （3）

  themselves from the traditional restrictions set by men and to erase huge sexist bias with great achievements.
     Have those women pioneers achieved a huge success in the male' s world？Not nearly.
     With the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing，a grieving （6）

  unkindly unfolded online before all the Chinese people.One is Eileen Gu，the 18-year-old skier winning two gold medals for China；the other is a chained mother of eight locked in a doorless hut.
     The huge gap between them serves as a （7）

  reminder that the poverty gap remains hard to bridge in China.The extent of a person's （8）

  determines how cozy his/her life turns out to be.A simple but underlying principle is that the wealthier you are，the wider access you will have to novelties，which will further your （9）

  ，in comparatively destitute areas，women are denied the access to self- refinement，subjected to men's incurable obsession with having （11）

  and thus they reluctantly perform the mission of carrying on the family line-for husbands.The fundamental cause of it comes down to poverty，resulting in the poor's limited horizons，which invariably contribute to（12）

  misconduct.
     On a whole scale，China still has a long way to go because it has just （13）

  the relief of absolute poverty，not relative poverty.Even if relative poverty is tackled，a lag period awaits before the （14）

     Thereby，as we take a close look at our country，attention should not be（15）

  paid to those glorious sportswomen；spotlight also needs to be cast upon those unfortunate women trapped in deep darkness.Be it Eileen Gu or the chained woman in Xuzhou，each one of them，as Lao Bai introduces himself in B for Busy，represents a different and real part of China.

• 4．Directions：Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
     When I was growing up，my family kept chickens.We always had about a dozen of them at any given time and whenever one died off- taken away by hawk or fox or by some obscure chicken illness--my father would replace the lost hen.
     He'd drive to a nearby poultry farm and return with a new chicken in a sack.The thing is，you must be very careful when introducing a new chicken to the general flock.You can't just toss it in there with the old chickens，or they will see it as an invader.What you must do instead is to slip the new bird into the chicken coop in the middle of the night while the others are asleep.Place her on a roost beside the flock and tiptoe away.In the morning，when the chickens wake up，they don't notice the newcomer，thinking only， "She must have been here all the time since I didn't see her arrive." The clincher of it is，awaking within this flock，the newcomer herself doesn't even remember that she's a newcomer，thinking only， "I must have been here the whole time …"
     My arrival in India does likewise.
     My plane lands in Mumbai around 1：30 AM.It is December 30.I find my luggage，then find the taxi that will take me hours and hours out of the city to the Ashram，located in a remote rural village.I doze on the drive through nighttime India，sometimes waking to look out the window，where I can see strange haunted shapes of thin women in saris walking alongside the road with bundles of firewood on their heads.At this hour？Buses with no headlights pass us，and we pass oxcarts.The banyan trees spread their elegant roots throughout the ditches.
