语法填空

    There is a common fear of the number 13. It's a number just like any other,  there are horror movies about it; some buildings  (intention) have no I3th floor; and plenty of couple avoid gating married on the13th of the month.

    What makes this number so scary? Historians have pointed a few potential  (reason) about the origin of this fear, the most popular of which is that there were 13 diners at the Last Supper. The 13th lo arrive was Judas,   betrayed Jesus.

    Actually, there are no problems with the number  (it). Maybe 13 is next to the number 12, and that makes it look bad. In many ancient cultures, 12  (consider) to be a perfect number. Most ancient civilizations based their systems of telling time around the number 12. There are 12 hours on a clock, and 12 months in a year. Twelve is also  largest number that also has one syllable (音节) in English. As the number immediately following this “perfect” one, 13 seemed imperfect, (inspire) unease throughout the ancient world.

    So far, both myth and math  (combine) to make this particular number scarier than any other. The uneasiness about the number,  (dale) hark to ancient times, has been developed over the years.

    Do you Douyin?

    Got a moment – or, perhaps, 15 seconds? In the age of fragmented (碎片化的) time, Douyin, which is a massive hit in China right now, can perfectly fill in the gaps when people have nothing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (good) to do between two events; its daily plays {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (spread) over one billion in the past few years. The Meipai(美拍)-like app allows users to produce creative short videos that combine music with mouth shapes or body moves. They can dance, sing, cook or do {#blank#}3{#/blank#} their hearts desire.

    Launched in September 2016, Douyin {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (own) by Zhang Yiming, one of China's top tech leaders; he chairs ByteDance. Similar to how Meipai worked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a time-limited video platform (平台), Douyin is a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (collect) of brief 15-second music videos, mainly focused on young people, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it's certainly suitable for all ages.

    On the platform, childish and strange behaviors are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (total) acceptable. In high-pressure world, it is no surprise that Douyin has become so successful – all you need to do is pick up your phone and open the app to relieve some stress and have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} laugh. The app pushes related videos and products based on users' preferences and consequently, Douyin can be quite addictive – many people just want to enjoy a few minutes at first, but end up {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (consume) several hours' video time.

    Increasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors by going to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店).Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially{#blank#}1{#/blank#} they lack health insurance. Or they may stay away because they find it{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(embarrass) to discuss their weight, smoking, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (experience) in the past. But{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(play) doctor can also be a deadly game.

Every day, more than six million Americans turn to the Internet{#blank#}5{#/blank#}medical answers— and most of them aren't nearly sceptical enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet &American Life Project found that 72 percent of those{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(survey) believe all or most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn't look up “headache” and the chances of finding {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(rely) and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as “high quality”. Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (inform) exists on the Internet.

    The problem is most people don't know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that's risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative ( 权威的), so it's hard to know if what you're reading is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(reason) or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
