The latest fashion in Japan is posing for photos with your hand pressed against your cheek as if you have toothache. The “cavity(牙疼) pose” is said to make the model’s face appear attractive, slimmer and smaller, which is considered more beautiful in Japan. The craze is sweeping Japanese social media, as well as fashion magazine front covers.
Just recently a model of a popular culture magazine, NYLON, did a pose which looked as if she had toothache. Twitter user, Okoge, spotted it among a range of similar magazines, with front cover models all doing the same pose. Okoge posted photos of the front cover models all with the exact same toothache pose, on the social media site, writing, “Does everyone have cavities?” The image has since been re-tweeted more than 35,000 times, but this is anything but an isolated incident(单一事件). Twitter and Instagram are going crazy for the pose, too.
The name, which means cavity pose, is called “mushiba no poozu” or “mushibapoozu” in Japanese. Some people also refer to it as the” mushibagaitaipoozu”, the “cavity hurts pose”, “mushibamitainapoozu” or “looks like a cavity pose”, or even, “mushibaninattapoozu” or “I got a cavity pose”.
According to the magazine, Kotaku, such photographs first appeared on Twitter last year in Japan. Many Japanese people said they are doing the cavity pose. And in only a few weeks, the trend has spread to art, popular cartoons and even national magazines.
There have been more and more photos cropping up online from earlier this year, but whether the trend will stand the test of time remains to be seen.
1.What is the strange thing regarding fashion models in Japan, according to the passage?
A. They are very dissatisfied with the shape of their face.
B. Most of them have an occupational disease, such as toothache.
C. They are competing to appear on fashion magazine front covers.
D. They like doing the toothache pose when being photographed.
2.For what purpose did Okoge post photos on the Internet?
A. To share interesting things with people.
B. To get more people to visit his Twitter page.
C. To show his sympathy for toothache patients.
D. To teach people how to take photographs.
3.It is not certain ____________________.
A. why the “cavity pose” becomes so popular
B. when the “cavity pose” happened on the Internet
C. how many names of “cavity pose” there are
D. whether people will continue to like the “cavity pose”

Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior 1 student in a middle school. This term, my favourite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her
, but I’m afraid that she n
o longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher. But, if she is still in your school, nothing can stop you going to see her. When
she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favourite teacher. Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in our lives. We can’t rely on them being with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely(entirely) rely on(depend on) other people getting you through your studies, or even your life.
