A gd gift is ne that is mre valuable fr the recipient than it is fr the giver. But mst gifts destry value rather than create it. Think f the Christmas-tree-shaped ckie jar that cst yur aunt 530 but is wrth cnsiderably less than zer t yu, psing a mral cnundrum (难题): D yu thrw it right int the trash r wait a cuple f mnths? The ecnmist Jel Waldfgel calls this discrepancy the “deadweight lss” f gifts, and estimates that, n average, it is frm 10 percent t a third f a gift’s price.
One explanatin fr the deadweight lss is a mismatch between desirability and feasibility. Cnsider n gadget that is useful (high disability) but difficult t set up and time-cnsuming t use (lw feasibility). Schlars have fund that givers usually fcus n desirability, and receivers are mre aware f feasibility. Yur friend wh bught yu a fancy wearable fitness tracker prbably thught it was a really cl and helpful gift; t yu, it seems like a massive headache t figure ut, requires an app dwnlad and a mnthly fee, and ffers data that will either make yu feel terrible abut yurself r turn int a life-ruining bsessin. That’s why it is still sitting in yur drawer in its riginal package.
Anther happiness-killing mismatch can ccur between the receiver’s initial reactin and their lng-term satisfactin. As Anna Gldfarb nted in The Atlantic a few weeks ag, givers tend t lk fr “reactin-maximizing gifts” (such as the wife’s ver-the-tp respnse t the car) as ppsed t “satisfactin-maximizing gifts.” Once the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin, the receiver might nt actually be that excited abut scks with her best friend’s face n them.
Smene lking fr a big reactin might be tempted t buy a wildly expensive gift, which pses its wn emtinal prblems. In the wrst cases, they may even be trying t exert dminance ver yu, r manipulate yu int ding them a favr later. Either way, receiving a gift that’s t nice might make yu feel guilty. Accrding t ne 2019 survey frm CmpareCards, 46 percent f respndents felt guilty fr being unable t give a gift wrth as much as the ne they received.
In truth, the biggest benefit t mst gift giving is t the giver herself. Genersity is truly a way t buy happiness. As my clleague Michael Nrtn and his c-authrs shwed in the jurnal Science in 2008, althugh spending mney n neself is weakly related t happiness, spending mney n thers significantly rises the giver’s well-being. Neurscientists have shwn that charitable giving t thers engages the reward system, inducing pleasure in ne f the same ways that alchl and certain drugs d. (Maybe this is the real reasn Santa is s jlly.)
4. What des “deadweight lss” f gifts in para.1 refer t?
A. The value the gift creates rather than destrys.
B. The mney the giver spends n a meaningful gift
C. The gd-will and thughtfulness f the gift giver.
D. The lss f the gift value in the eyes f the receiver.
5. Hw wuld the receiver describe the ‘fancy wearable fitness tracker’ as a gift?
A. Fashinable and practical.B. Unfriendly and upsetting.
C. Desirable and satisfactry.D. Expensive and unwrthy.
6. What makes the receiver nt excited abut scks printed with her best friend’s face?
A. That the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin.
B. That the receiver was expecting smething wildly expensive.
C. Tht the giver is cnfused abut what gift brings satisfactin.
D. That the receiver was expecting smething he/she truly wants.
7. Which f the fllwing best describes the main idea f this article?
A. It is in giving that givers receive.
B. Gift-giving is in mst cases a win-win situatin.
C. The greatest gift yu can give is yur time and attentin.

The wrld has faced a fd crisis f unprecedented(前所未有的) prprtins in 2022—the largest in mdern histry, as cnflict, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis and rising csts have cmbined t pse great risks fr hungry peple acrss the wrld. As many as 828 millin peple g t bed hungry every night. The number f thse facing acute fd insecurity has risen frm 135 millin t 345 millin since 2019. A ttal f 49 millin peple in 49 cuntries are suffering hunger, accrding t figures frm the United Natins’ Wrld Fd Prgramme.
“We are facing an unprecedented glbal fd crisis and all signs suggest we have nt yet seen the wrst. Fr the last three years, hunger numbers have repeatedly hit new peaks,” WFP Executive Directr David Beasley said. He warned that things can and will get wrse unless there is a large-scale and crdinated(协调一致的) effrt t address the causes f this crisis.
There are many reasns fr prevailing high levels f fd insecurity. These reasns include cnflicts, climate changes and weather extremes, ecnmic slwdwns and dwnturns. In additin, these drivers ften d nt act alne. Fr instance, cnflicts are ften accmpanied by ecnmic dwnturns, which affect livelihds and the ability f peple t earn resurces, leading t increasing pverty levels and higher prevalence(流行) f fd insecurity.
Unfrtunately, the main reasns fr high levels f fd insecurity have nt imprved this year. Peple in the Hrn f Africa are facing a fifth cnsecutive(连续的) failed rain seasn in parts f Ethipia, Kenya and Smalia, which will cnstrain their prductin, and is likely t push many peple deeper int fd insecurity.
Mrever, there is uncertainty abut the weather. And climatic shck affecting any majr prducer r exprter will intrduce additinal uncertainty int prductin and cnsequently prices, which in turn impact the ability t purchase fd, particularly f the mst vulnerable peple.

D. There will be anther new peak f hunger numbers in three years.
10. What des the underlined wrd in Paragraph 3 mean?

Arguably, the biggest science develpment f the year t date has been the images f the very depths f the universe taken by the James Webb Space Telescpe (JWST). Thse images beg a cmparisn between the external and internal universes that science is bent n bserving and understanding.
Decades ag, astrphysicist Carl Sagan famusly said, “The universe is als within is. We’re made f star-stuff. We are a way fr the universe t knw itself. ” He was cmmenting then n the reality that ur internal universe was as cmplex and as fantastic as the uter space.
There are many similarities between the prgress we’ve made in understanding the universe and in piecing tgether life’s inner wrkings. Like the technlgical develpments that tk us frm Galile’s telescpe t the Hubble t the JWST, life science tls have als imprved rapidly. Frm early light micrscpes t mdern super-reslutin nes, these develpments have affrded researchers a deep lk int bilgy’s infinitesimal (无限小的) landscape. Learning that living things were cmpsed f cells was, nt a terribly lng time ag, a revlutinary bservatin. Since then, scientists have been able t dive ever deeper int the cmpnents f life.
Ging beynd merely bserving the cmplicated makeup f rganisms, life scientists can nw discver the wrkings f mlecules (分子). And that is where scanning the universe differs frm peering int bilgy. Understanding the universe, especially frm a functinal standpint, is nt necessarily an immediate urgency. Understanding bilgy n that level is. Simply bserving the amazing internal structure f cells is nt enugh. Bilgists must als characterize hw all thse parts interact and change in different envirnments and when faced with varius challenges. Being able t image a virus r bacterium is nice at the level f basic science. But knwing hw viruses gain entry int cells and spread, infect, and disable can literally save lives. Thrugh time, bilgy has risen t this mechanistic challenge. Nt nly can life science tls prduce images f cell cmpnents, even mre imprtantly, they can help predict the effects f drugs n receptrs, f immune cells n freign invaders (入侵者), and f genetic perturbatins (基因干扰) n develpment and aging.
This is nt t belittle the wrk f scientists researching int universe. They shuld rightly be praised fr delivering views f impssibly distant, impssibly massive phenmena. My aim is t celebrate these accmplishments while at the same time recgnizing that science’s inward search fr detail and insight is equally impressive and, in my view, mre urgent. The utput f bth the utward and inward explratins shuld stimulate wnder in everyne. After all, it’s all star-stuff.
12. Why des the authr qute Carl Sagan’s cmment in Paragraph 2?
A. T intrduce the backgrund.B. T prve an assumptin.
C. T make a cmparisn.D. T present an idea.
13. Like the study f the universe, life science has been advancing in ________.
A. study apprachesB. system management
C. research facilitiesD. technlgy integratin
14. We can infer frm Paragraph 4 that bilgists’ wrk is ________.
A. practicalB. riskyC. flexibleD. ppular
15. As fr life science which wuld the authr agree with?
A. It has received universal recgnitin.B. It shuld enjy pririty in develpment.
C. It can be applied in the majrity f areas.D. It is mre cmplicated than space science.

With climate change cntinuing t wrsen, ur situatin is beginning t feel increasingly serius. ____16____ Is it right? Maybe nt.
Techn-ptimism is ne f the greatest miscnceptins when it cmes t slutins t ensure ur future. It can be defined as a belief that future technlgies will slve all f ur current prblems.

One f the best examples f this ptimistic miscnceptin is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an ec-friendly way t get arund, electric cars are nt the end fr the future f transprt.

____19____ Investing in public transprtatin and mving away frm individually wned vehicles. Prducing fewer cars. Imprving recycling practices f ld batteries. The slutins we seek shuld nt be rted in new technlgy, but be abut changing the way ur sciety functins.
Techn-ptimism puts t much emphasis n technlgy and nt enugh n what we can d right this minute. Unfrtunately, peple seem t like the picture that techn-ptimism paints. ____20____ It is imprtant t understand that the prblem begins when we see thse technlgies as a way t make ur current lifestyles ec-friendly. Until we are ready t face the need fr a less cmplex life, we cannt make true prgress twards sustainability.
A. S where shuld we lk fr answers instead?
B. The mdern wrld’s simple slutin is technlgy.
C. Mrever, they are mre energy intensive t prduce.
D. Is it a trap that many peple have fallen int in recent years?

Arguably, the biggest science develpment f the year t date has been the images f the very depths f the universe taken by the James Webb Space Telescpe (JWST). Thse images beg a cmparisn between the external and internal universes that science is bent n bserving and understanding.
Decades ag, astrphysicist Carl Sagan famusly said, “The universe is als within is. We’re made f star-stuff. We are a way fr the universe t knw itself. ” He was cmmenting then n the reality that ur internal universe was as cmplex and as fantastic as the uter space.
There are many similarities between the prgress we’ve made in understanding the universe and in piecing tgether life’s inner wrkings. Like the technlgical develpments that tk us frm Galile’s telescpe t the Hubble t the JWST, life science tls have als imprved rapidly. Frm early light micrscpes t mdern super-reslutin nes, these develpments have affrded researchers a deep lk int bilgy’s infinitesimal (无限小的) landscape. Learning that living things were cmpsed f cells was, nt a terribly lng time ag, a revlutinary bservatin. Since then, scientists have been able t dive ever deeper int the cmpnents f life.
Ging beynd merely bserving the cmplicated makeup f rganisms, life scientists can nw discver the wrkings f mlecules (分子). And that is where scanning the universe differs frm peering int bilgy. Understanding the universe, especially frm a functinal standpint, is nt necessarily an immediate urgency. Understanding bilgy n that level is. Simply bserving the amazing internal structure f cells is nt enugh. Bilgists must als characterize hw all thse parts interact and change in different envirnments and when faced with varius challenges. Being able t image a virus r bacterium is nice at the level f basic science. But knwing hw viruses gain entry int cells and spread, infect, and disable can literally save lives. Thrugh time, bilgy has risen t this mechanistic challenge. Nt nly can life science tls prduce images f cell cmpnents, even mre imprtantly, they can help predict the effects f drugs n receptrs, f immune cells n freign invaders (入侵者), and f genetic perturbatins (基因干扰) n develpment and aging.
This is nt t belittle the wrk f scientists researching int universe. They shuld rightly be praised fr delivering views f impssibly distant, impssibly massive phenmena. My aim is t celebrate these accmplishments while at the same time recgnizing that science’s inward search fr detail and insight is equally impressive and, in my view, mre urgent. The utput f bth the utward and inward explratins shuld stimulate wnder in everyne. After all, it’s all star-stuff.
12. Why des the authr qute Carl Sagan’s cmment in Paragraph 2?
A. T intrduce the backgrund.B. T prve an assumptin.
C. T make a cmparisn.D. T present an idea.
13. Like the study f the universe, life science has been advancing in ________.
A. study apprachesB. system management
C. research facilitiesD. technlgy integratin
14. We can infer frm Paragraph 4 that bilgists’ wrk is ________.
A. practicalB. riskyC. flexibleD. ppular
15. As fr life science which wuld the authr agree with?
A. It has received universal recgnitin.B. It shuld enjy pririty in develpment.
C. It can be applied in the majrity f areas.D. It is mre cmplicated than space science.
