[2020·山东省六地时部分学校高三联考]Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating? My friend Stella is such an example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a bite until all the dishes we __1__ were on the table. Then she would spend five minutes in __2__ the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact __3__ order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the __4__ and click in the filter (滤镜) app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no __5__ to really enjoy it—it all went cold. Actually Stella's real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for days.
Many people care too much about others' opinions and try too hard to __6__ others. They find it hard to be __7__ and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their __8__ life on social media. What they are trying to prove is __9__ what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any __10__ to reality, as they still __11__ the same old pattern of life.
If they really want an elegant life, they should put more __12__ into achieving it __13__ fabricating (伪造) it. Being more confident, __14__ themselves and trying their best to be better are much more meaningful than __15__ their life on social media.
