simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. dr strenger said that it is a process called “active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life.”“the fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.9 nowadays, young people in britain want to .a. choose jobs based on interestsb. become famousc. be teacher, banker and doctord. earn more money10. according to emma brockes, what causes the increasing level of anxiety?a. choices of future careers.b. access to the global network.c. bad influences of celebrities.d. obsession with cultural identity.11. dr carlo strenger suggests that young people should .a. seek active self-acceptanceb. stick to their own dreamsc. make great achievementsd. search for the secret of wealth12. the text is mainly written to .a. talk about job choicesb. analyse a social phenomenonc. encourage celebrity cultured. introduce three famous peopledthe high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物) diets many people turn to for weight loss might have potentially harmful long-term effects on the colon, a small study indicates.in the study, uk researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon that could contribute to colon cancer risk. the study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the risk of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “people should not be discouraged from losing weight,” dr flint said. however, he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate（充足的）amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.the findings are based on 17 overweight men who followed three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbs.on average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as n-nitroso compounds(亞硝基化合物) and other metabolites(代謝物) that have been linked to cancer. and when they were on the high-protein, low-carb diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.exactly what those changes might mean for a persons health is not clear, but flint said that the findings suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. in general, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per daythough its not known whether thats enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.13. the underlined word “colon” in paragraph 1 probably refers to “ ”.a. an organb. intelligencec. a habitd. behavior14. it can be inferred from the text that .a. we shouldnt take the study seriouslyb. weight problems are hard to solvec. it is better to follow a low-carb dietd. people should be cautious to lose weight15. the author is intended to .a. advise how to lose weightb. introduce a scientific findingc. describe a research processd. talk about healthy diets第二節(jié) （共5小題；每小題2分， 滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。are you truly happy?
