A university lecturer in Linyi, Shandng prvince, has shne a light n the difficulties f fd delivery drivers by taking n the rle himself fr a mnth and sharing his trials and sufferings nline.
Last December, Xing Bin, a lecturer at the Cllege f Literature at Linyi University, was s eager t knw abut what life and wrk must be like fr a delivery driver, s he decided t sign up and be ne frm December t January this year. The gig ecnmy(临时工), fr better r wrse, has explded in China in recent years, and thugh many members f the wrkfrce chse t wrk in the gig ecnmy because f its flexibility(灵活性), thers prefer full-time emplyment.
During the mnth, Xing wrked mre than 10 hurs and tk 30,000 steps a day. He lst 6 kilgrams and earned a ttal f 7,000 yuan. On average, he earned 10 yuan each hur, and 20 yuan at mst. " I was delivering fd frm early mrning till late at night fr arund 13 hurs a day. When I had classes, I delivered fd fr tw hurs early in the mrning, and after dinner I cntinued delivering until ne r tw in the mrning," Xing said.
“Befre, if I gt a call frm a delivery wrker, I might delay answering it. But nw I will always answer it immediately because I knw they might be riding an electric bike while making the call, which is very dangerus,” said Xing, adding that he nw understands the difficulties f delivery wrkers better and realizes hw hard they wrk t make a living.
“During that mnth, I tasted the bitterness and the happiness f this jb with my heart. I delivered ver 2,000 rders, and three f the peple wh rdered impressed me a lt.” he said.
Why did Xing try the jb f a delivery driver?
A. Out f curisity.B. Owing t its high pay.
C. Because f its flexibility.D. Fr its lw career requirements.
What is the purpse f using numbers in paragraph3?
A. T intrduce Xing’s experiences.B. T praise delivery wrkers’ spirits.
C. T describe delivery wrkers’ hardships.D. T shw delivery wrkers’ achievements.
What may the passage talk abut next?

The difficulty in learning a freign language lies nt nly in its cmplexity( 复 杂 ) but als in its difference frm yur wn. The first thing many learners will think f is the writing system. Chinese stands ut fr its difficulty. A learner is said t memrize at least 2,000 characters t be able t read a newspaper.
A secnd way languages can be hard is with sunds and differences that d nt exist in the learner’s language. T an English-speaker, the nvelty includes the clicks f many African languages and the ejective sunds made by a sudden release f pressure in the muth in sme Caucasian nes. But just as hard is the prblem f languages that differ frm yur wn.
The vcabulary bviusly matters t. Mst Eurpean languages share an ancestr (called prt-Ind-Eurpean) and s their wrds, t, ften cme in related pairs. If yu knw water in Spanish is agua, it is easy t figure ut Italian acqua and English aquatic. But the Eurpean languages share vcabulary fr anther reasn: they have freely brrwed frm ne anther ver the centuries. Nt nly will languages unrelated t the Eurpean nes lack the "genetic" similarities in vcabulary but als they, culturally distant, have far less brrwed Eurpean vcabulary t.
Finally there is grammar. Many peple cnnect tricky grammar with lng lists f endings that change accrding t a wrd’s use in a sentence. This exists all ver Arabic such as prefixes, suffixes( 后 缀 ), r vwels(元音) and cnsnants, which accunts fr the difficulty f the language. Freign grammar is als difficult t the extent that it differs frm yur language.
If yu want t learn a language just fr fun, start with Swedish. If yu want t learn mre, stay in Eurpe. But if yu really want t impress, mastering Cantnese r Krean is the sign f the true linguistic(语言的) Irnman.
What des the underlined "nvelty" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Culture.B. Civilizatin.C. Uniqueness.D. Unfamiliarity.
Why are Spanish, Italian and English mentined in paragraph 3?
A. T tell their differences.B. T cmpare the languages.
C. T prve their shared cnnectins.D. T shw difficulty in learning them.
Which may prbably be the mst difficult language?
A. Arabic.B. English.C. Swedish.D. Krean.
The passage mainly talks abut f a freign language.
A. learning strategiesB. learning difficulties
C. learning cntentsD. learning prcesses

When Eugenie Gerge first heard that her friend passed an exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed mre wrk t advance her wn career. But instead f anxiety, she called her friend. "I cngratulated her and tld her she inspired me," she says. She was surprised when it changed her attitude, s she culd share her friend’s happiness and experience her wn, in turn.
Finding pleasure in anther persn’s gd frtune is what scial scientists call freudenfreude, a term that describes the jy we feel when smene else succeeds, even if it isn’t directly cnnected with us. Freudenfreude is like scial glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a prfessr f psychlgy at Ursinus Cllege in Pennsylvania. It makes relatinships "clser and mre enjyable". Sharing in smene else’s jy can als imprve life satisfactin and resilience(适应力) and help peple cperate during a disagreement.
While the benefits f freudenfreude are plentiful, it desn’t always cme easily. Smetimes, yur lss
might last, making freudenfreude feel ut f reach. If yu were raised in a family that paired winning with self-wrth, Chambliss says, yu might misread smene else’s victry as yur wn persnal shrtcming. And factrs such as mental health and verall wellbeing (幸福) can als affect yur ability t participate in smene else’s jy. Still, freudenfreude is wrthwhile and there are ways t encurage the feeling.
Instead f an autmatic respnse, freudenfreude is ften an active prcess. T help peple strengthen jy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and her clleagues develped a prgramme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET). They fund that depressed peple wh used the practices fr tw weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which built up their relatinships and imprved their md.
Jean Grae, an artist, supprts friends in this mindset. When smene gets a new pprtunity r reaches a milestne, she makes sure t celebrate. Grae says she’s especially mved when anyne cnsidered ‘ther’ succeeds. "It’s truly inspiratinal," she says, "because it lifts us all up and makes us shine."
What d we knw abut Eugenie Gerge?
A. She tk pride in passing her exam.B. She shared her success with her friend.
C. She was pleased with her friend’s success.D. She was annyed at her failure in an exam.
What des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n abut freudenfreude?
A. Its great benefits.B. Its disadvantages.
C. Reasns fr its absence.D. Ways f imprving it.
Why is Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET) held?
A. T test the effect f freudenfreude.B. T help peple apply freudenfreude.
C. T get peple t knw freudenfreude.D. T shw the advantages f freudenfreude.
What can be a suitable title fr the text?
Hw t experience freudenfreude?
Let’s share what leads t freudenfreude.
Freudenfreude: View thers’ success as ur wn.
A win-win: Freudenfreude brings ur wn pleasure.

During the mnth, Xing wrked mre than 10 hurs and tk 30,000 steps a day. He lst 6 kilgrams and earned a ttal f 7,000 yuan. On average, he earned 10 yuan each hur, and 20 yuan at mst.

The difficulty in learning a freign language lies nt nly in its cmplexity( 复 杂 ) but als in its difference frm yur wn. The first thing many learners will think f is the writing system. Chinese stands ut fr its difficulty. A learner is said t memrize at least 2,000 characters t be able t read a newspaper.
A secnd way languages can be hard is with sunds and differences that d nt exist in the learner’s language. T an English-speaker, the nvelty includes the clicks f many African languages and the ejective sunds made by a sudden release f pressure in the muth in sme Caucasian nes. But just as hard is the prblem f languages that differ frm yur wn.
The vcabulary bviusly matters t. Mst Eurpean languages share an ancestr (called prt-Ind-Eurpean) and s their wrds, t, ften cme in related pairs. If yu knw water in Spanish is agua, it is easy t figure ut Italian acqua and English aquatic. But the Eurpean languages share vcabulary fr anther reasn: they have freely brrwed frm ne anther ver the centuries. Nt nly will languages unrelated t the Eurpean nes lack the "genetic" similarities in vcabulary but als they, culturally distant, have far less brrwed Eurpean vcabulary t.
Finally there is grammar. Many peple cnnect tricky grammar with lng lists f endings that change accrding t a wrd’s use in a sentence. This exists all ver Arabic such as prefixes, suffixes( 后 缀 ), r vwels(元音) and cnsnants, which accunts fr the difficulty f the language. Freign grammar is als difficult t the extent that it differs frm yur language.
If yu want t learn a language just fr fun, start with Swedish. If yu want t learn mre, stay in Eurpe. But if yu really want t impress, mastering Cantnese r Krean is the sign f the true linguistic(语言的) Irnman.
What des the underlined "nvelty" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Culture.B. Civilizatin.C. Uniqueness.D. Unfamiliarity.
Why are Spanish, Italian and English mentined in paragraph 3?
A. T tell their differences.B. T cmpare the languages.
C. T prve their shared cnnectins.D. T shw difficulty in learning them.
Which may prbably be the mst difficult language?
A. Arabic.B. English.C. Swedish.D. Krean.
The passage mainly talks abut f a freign language.
A. learning strategiesB. learning difficulties
C. learning cntentsD. learning prcesses

When Eugenie Gerge first heard that her friend passed an exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed mre wrk t advance her wn career. But instead f anxiety, she called her friend. "I cngratulated her and tld her she inspired me," she says. She was surprised when it changed her attitude, s she culd share her friend’s happiness and experience her wn, in turn.
Finding pleasure in anther persn’s gd frtune is what scial scientists call freudenfreude, a term that describes the jy we feel when smene else succeeds, even if it isn’t directly cnnected with us. Freudenfreude is like scial glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a prfessr f psychlgy at Ursinus Cllege in Pennsylvania. It makes relatinships "clser and mre enjyable". Sharing in smene else’s jy can als imprve life satisfactin and resilience(适应力) and help peple cperate during a disagreement.
While the benefits f freudenfreude are plentiful, it desn’t always cme easily. Smetimes, yur lss
might last, making freudenfreude feel ut f reach. If yu were raised in a family that paired winning with self-wrth, Chambliss says, yu might misread smene else’s victry as yur wn persnal shrtcming. And factrs such as mental health and verall wellbeing (幸福) can als affect yur ability t participate in smene else’s jy. Still, freudenfreude is wrthwhile and there are ways t encurage the feeling.
Instead f an autmatic respnse, freudenfreude is ften an active prcess. T help peple strengthen jy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and her clleagues develped a prgramme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET). They fund that depressed peple wh used the practices fr tw weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which built up their relatinships and imprved their md.
Jean Grae, an artist, supprts friends in this mindset. When smene gets a new pprtunity r reaches a milestne, she makes sure t celebrate. Grae says she’s especially mved when anyne cnsidered ‘ther’ succeeds. "It’s truly inspiratinal," she says, "because it lifts us all up and makes us shine."
What d we knw abut Eugenie Gerge?
A. She tk pride in passing her exam.B. She shared her success with her friend.
C. She was pleased with her friend’s success.D. She was annyed at her failure in an exam.
What des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n abut freudenfreude?
A. Its great benefits.B. Its disadvantages.
C. Reasns fr its absence.D. Ways f imprving it.
Why is Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET) held?
A. T test the effect f freudenfreude.B. T help peple apply freudenfreude.
C. T get peple t knw freudenfreude.D. T shw the advantages f freudenfreude.
