题目内容:
Falling down in public is terrible for most people. However, a new social media craze(热潮)called the “Falling Stars Challenge” has turned falling into something fun to do.
The craze began in Russia. It was most popular among young people. They posted pictures of themselves lying face down as though(好像)they had just fallen over. Some items like handbags, decorations and money were spread out on the ground around them in the photos. They shared these photos on the Internet to flaunt their wealth.
The craze soon became popular around the world. In China, however, it is taking on a new meaning. People are using it to flaunt their hobbies and talents. The items in their pictures show what they do for a living and what they have achieved in their work.
▲ For example, students fall down onto textbooks and test papers. Police officers fall in front of their police cars with handcuffs in their hands. Famous people are taking on the challenge, too. Writer Liu Tong took a fall with dozens of copies of his new book.
More than 1.08 million Chinese have taken on this challenge on Sina Weibo. Their pictures have been viewed more than 2.22 billion times. Internet users also discuss these photos. Most of them speak highly of the craze. One Sina Weibo user wrote, “This shows the positive energy of fighting and working hard.
