10、e she has tried.BWhen a stranger gave Danille and her husband Nathan a box of onions which they later found they didnt need, she decided to pass the kindness on.Mindful of many families struggling to feed their loved ones, Danielle placed the onions outside her home with a sign encouraging locals to

11、 “take what you need, share what you can”. Now, one year on, their stand(摊位), called the “Waverley Co-op”, provides thousands of locals with 500kg of fruit, vegetables, and bread each week. “Residents and charities donate some produce, and we top this up with $ 100 of fresh fruit and other foods,” s

18、de All the DifferenceCTheres a child-like joy that comes with ordering something online. We sit refreshing the U.S. Postal Service or FedEx pages to see when our items will arrive and we become overly excited, hopeful and anxious. But why?According to a psychotherapist Owen OKane, its anticipatory p

19、leasure that something positive and good is going to happen when we get this parcel. When our package finally arrives, many of us are satisfied. But that initial excitement has probably waned because our obsession with our parcel represents much more than the item we purchased. “What were talking ab

20、out here is hope and having something to look forward to, but not the item itself.” OKane explains.Anticipating good things is a formula that has fueled many helpful remarks through the years: Tomorrow is another day. However, anticipation isnt always a good thing. In September, people went into a f

21、renzy when it was announced that their mail delivery would become permanently slower. And now, many are worried about their items. This phenomenon is called pre-parcel anxiety. A delayed package may seem insignificant to some. But for others, getting your hopes up only for them to be thwarted (阻挠) i

22、s angering and anxiety-provoking. OKane says these reactions are telling about more deep-rooted internal issues in our lives that go beyond a delayed package. “Anxiety is intolerance to uncertainty. So its really symbolic about something bigger, about that need to control and needing everything to b

23、e perfect.”Its important to practice self-care and treat ourselves with occasional gifts. However, OKane cautions comfort shopping is only a temporary fix. He adds many people often seek external solutions as a way of feeling better quickly, whereas a healthier long-term coping mechanism is to look

24、inward and appreciate our life with “mindfulness, gratitude and savoring.” “We will find placing an order and receiving an item is stimulating on some level, but it is the most passive way to live. Challenge ourselves to take action in our life instead of waiting for it to arrive.”So the next time w

25、e feel the impulse to order and track something online, consider why.8. What does the underlined word “waned” mean in paragraph 2?A. Decreased.B. Enforced.C. Refueled.D. Overwhelmed.9. Why are some people angry about a delayed package according to OKane?A. They are intolerant of waiting.B. They are

26、uncertain of delivery.C. They want to stay in control.D. They have internal issues in life.10. According to paragraph 4, which of the following statements does OKane agree with?A. We can seek external solutions to make us feel better.B. Online purchases can solve our problems permanently.C. We shoul

27、d find contentment and peace with what we have.D. Online shopping is a positive way to distract us from sadness.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To weigh up the pros and cons of online purchases.B. To persuade us not to purchase online in the long run.C. To analyze psychological happiness o

28、f online purchases.D. To explain why we are so obsessed with online purchases.DAn American friend recently told me of a reunion with the son of the German family whose home he had lived in for a year as an exchange student. My friend had spent the year acquiring fluent German, which he spoke to the

29、family. The reunion, several decades later, took place among a crowd who were speaking English. Afterward, the German son said to my friend, “I never realized you were witty.” Because in German, he never was. It was too hard to joke in a foreign tongue. Anyone who has learnt another language will be

30、 familiar with this. We are more ponderous(沉闷的) in our acquired language. We are slower on the understanding, having to construct each reply in advance.But is it also possible that we make more dispassionate(不带感情的) decisions when thinking in a foreign language? Academics at the University of Chicago

31、 think we do. Writing in the journal Cognition, they describe a well-known moral dilemma. You are watching a runaway carriage dashing down a railway. In its path you see five people tied to the track. On your left is a large man. If you push him into the carriages path, you will kill him but save th

32、e five. Do you do it? The Chicago academics put the dilemma to a group of 800 native German speakers. About half considered the dilemma in German and half in English. Those people answering in their second language were more likely to favor pushing the man onto the track. To the Chicago faculty, thi

33、s was no surprise. There have been several experiments, with similar results, about the effect of language on the track dilemma, with native speakers of English, Korean, Spanish, French, Hebrew, German and Italian.The question the Chicago team try to answer in the cognition study is why the change h

34、appens when people decide in another language. Their hypothesis is that we visualize people and objects more sharply in our native tongue and this affects our decision-making. In particular, when thinking in our own language, we can clearly picture the large man and are reluctant to push him to his

35、death. Why should this be? The Chicago study argues that the images we form in our minds are based on the memories we have of people and objects. Because we have more experience of people in our native language, we find it easier to picture them.To test this, they asked 359 native English speakers t

36、o imagine various scenarios and objectsa sunset, hands-clapping, the feeling of sand, running upstairs, the taste of salt, the smell of paint, a sore throatand to rate the intensity of the feeling. Half did the experiment in English, half in Spanish, their second language. Those who did it in Englis

37、h reported more vivid sunsets, handclaps, sand and step-running than those who answered in Spanish. There was little difference for sore throats and none for paint or salt.The Chicago team thought people had more vivid images in their native English because they were more likely to tap into their me

38、mories than if they did the thinking in another language. However, the reason why the smell and taste images were sharp in Spanish might have been that the English speakers had rich associations of flavorful Mediterranean cuisine.Generally, the use of a foreign language reduces vividness because it

39、limits access to memories. How seriously should we take this? An increasing number of people are now working in organizations that operate in English, mixing native and second-language speakers. It is certainly worth thinking about whether people seem more considered, and make more dispassionate dec

40、isions in English than the native speakers do. The non-native speakers may seem less witty but pay more attention to their opinions.12. Why does the author mention his friend in the first paragraph?A. To argue that learning a second language is beneficial at workplace.B. To tell us that people often

41、 find it too hard to joke in a foreign tongue.C. To compare the differences between telling jokes in different languages.D To indicate that speaking foreign languages makes people more careful.13. Which of the following statements about the moral dilemma experiment is TRUE?A. Those people answering

42、in native language are more unwilling to kill the man.B. 800 native German speakers were asked to give their answers in English.C. People were required to consider the dilemma in four different languages.D. People cant picture the large man when judging the dilemma in English.14. The Chicago team be

43、lieve _.A. a foreign language usually provides a more in-born mode of thinkingB. people can easily tap into their memories when communicating in EnglishC. using a foreign language creates a plain image for a lack of related experienceD. the taste images are sharp in Spanish because people eat much S

44、panish cuisine15. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with?A. Organizations need to hire more non-native English speakers.B. People should relate to more memories in a second language.C. We should communicate in foreign languages at work.D. The non-native speakers ar
