情境 素材 「2026山东青岛期末改编」
阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内的提示，填入一个正确的单词。
Many young people like 16 say “love you, my dear self (自己)” now. They learn to take care of themselves, just like they care for a good friend. For example, a young man often 17 (post) his photos on the Internet to show he is kind to himself. After a busy day, many young people may have a nice dinner 18 a treat (款待).
Young people often say “Laoji, see you tomorrow.” “Laoji” just 19 (mean) “myself” and it is a sweet word for self-love. The idea of loving yourself is not new. But 20 do so many young people like it again? One of the 21 (理由) is the word “laoji” itself. It sounds very close and turns the “self” into a close friend.
This funny way makes young people love to take care of themselves. They turn the words of “take care of yourself” from others into a warm talk with themselves. This is very 22 (/ɪmˈpɔːtənt/) to them.
When you make 23 (mistake), don’t be too hard on yourself. Say “I did my best” to yourself. Make a small list of happy things, like a 15-minute walk or listening to your favorite songs. Do one or two of them every day. Spend 20 minutes a week 24 (ask) yourself about your own needs, and try to meet these needs. Then you will live a happier life 25 (比) before. May you love yourself every day.
16. 17. 18. 19. 20.
21. 22. 23. 24. 25.
