• 21．In the Name of LoveMany people grow up hearing the advice that all you need to do in life is to "find your passion."The implication is（1）

  if you "do what you love"，success-and probably happiness and money-would follow.People like Apple's Steve Jobs and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg were long regarded（2）

  examples of this trend.In fact，（3）

  age group you are in，or education level you have reached，this idealized view of the working world is the modern-day equivalent of the emperor's new clothes myth.
      When you stick to the "do what you love" advice for your career，you immediately narrow your vision of what a career can be-and therefore，limit your ability（4）

  （satisfy）by your careers.You get the wrong idea that you are not doing the right job（5）

  you are doing the job that you "love".There's a big chance（6）

  you will miss out on some of the wisest potential career decisions available to you.What's more，you might be wasting your time chasing after a bachelor's degree only to take a job（7）

  your degree is all but useless.
      Most people don't grow up，（8）

  （want） to clean up after others or work in low-end（低端的） retail or fast food jobs.The reality is：we need bus drivers，cooks and doormen as much as we need engineers，web developers and data scientists.Even though machines may be taking some jobs away，there is a large number of jobs that are not going anywhere-and we depend on them every day.
      Stop putting too much pressure on（9）

  in order to do what you love.Start with focusing on what skills you have，what you can learn，and（10）

  you can translate them into a worthwhile job with upward mobility.Your love for what you do will come with the satisfaction of a job well done.

  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（4）

     "This is how Chinese people were exaggeratedly portrayed during the（5）

  period.We've been 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 describes his（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.
