第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） If 62 is the number in red on the top of your math test, for most of us,
it's a total disaster. Your entire week is ruined, and 62 is what races through your head for the rest of the day. If 9 is the number of likes on that cute photo you posted the other day, many will feel rather disappointed.
Our lives have become a constant system of ranks, asssments, and numbers. The days of passing judgment on others bad on personality are gone, and now we judge bad on how good a person's numbers are. We compare ourlves to the numbers of others, such as how low another person's weight is how high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer bad on quality of character, but quantity of numbers.
In today's social media consumed society,it has never been easier for people to broadcast their numbers to the world.A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can obrve the number of friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you don't have a certain number of followers, then you aren't“cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few peopl
e are witnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate.Twitter and Facebook can let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone e who you really are. In the end.lf-worth should be bad on what you think of yourlf, not what the world thinks of you.
