It was a rainy, damp December day. I was headed t the stre t pick up anther week’s wrth f fd. I had put ff shpping fr Christmas presents until later in the mnth but wasn’t lking frward t the crwd f Christmas shppers while I grabbed my grceries. I kept the CD player n while I drve t avid the radi news. It nly spke f the wrld’s huge prblems and hw divided we all still were. And it usually just left me feeling helpless.
Still, I gave my sn a dllar t put in the bell-ringer’s pt at the dr t the stre. We went in and sn filled ur cart with fd. Then we walked twards the self-checkut machines. I hated using them. I much preferred t chat with the friendly cashiers, but the line at them was five deep and I just didn’t have the time. As I pulled my cart up, I heard an ld man at the machine next t mine grumbling (嘟囔) under his breath, trying his hardest nt t curse.

If yu start a sentence with, “If I were yu...” r find yurself scratching yur head ver a decisin when the answer is crystal-clear, there’s a scientific reasn behind it. Our wn decisin-making abilities can becme exhausted ver the curse f the day causing indecisin r pr chices, but chsing n behalf f smene else is an enjyable task that desn’t suffer the same difficulties.
“The prblem is decisin fatigue, a psychlgical phenmenn that causes harm t the quality f yur chices after a lng day f decisin making,” says Evan Plman, a leading psychlgist.
Physicians n the jb fr several hurs, fr example, are mre likely t prescribe antibitics (抗生素) t patients when it’s unwise t d s. “Presumably it’s because it’s simple and easy t write a prescriptin and cnsider a patient case clsed rather than investigate further,” Plman says.
But decisin fatigue ges away when yu are making the decisin fr smene else. When peple imagine themselves as advisers, they feel less tired and rely less n decisin shrtcuts. “By taking upn the rle f adviser rather than decisin maker, ne des nt suffer the cnsequences f decisin fatigue,” he says. “It is as if there is smething fun abut making smene else’s chice.”
“Getting input frm thers nt nly ffers a fresh perspective and thught prcess, it ften als includes riskier chices. While this sunds undesirable, it can be quite gd. When peple experience decisin fatigue, when they are tired f making chices, they have a tendency t chse t g with status qu,” says Plman. “But it can be prblematic since a change in the curse f actin can be imprtant and lead t a psitive utcme.”
T achieve a successful utcme r reward, sme level f risk is almst always essential. “Peple wh are susceptible t decisin fatigue will likely chse t d nthing ver smething,” he says. “That’s nt t say risk is always gd, but it is related t taking actin, whereas decisin fatigue assuredly leads t inactin and the pssible chagrin (懊恼) f a decisin maker wh might therwise prefer a new curse but is unfrtunately hindered.”
“Just because yu can make gd chices fr thers desn’t mean yu’ll d the same fr yurself,” Plman cautins. “Research has fund that wmen negtiate higher salaries fr thers than they d fr themselves,” he says, adding that peple slip in and ut f decisin rles.
7．What des the authr say abut peple making decisins?
A．They tend t make decisins the way they think advantageus t them.
B．They may becme exhausted making t many decisins fr themselves.
C．They shw cnsiderable differences in their decisin-making abilities.

A．When they take decisin shrtcuts.
B．When they have advisers t turn t.
C．When they have majr decisins t make.
D．When they help thers t make decisins.

Side hustles fr cllege students deliver spending mney while still ffering the flexibility that a full class schedule requires.
Take class ntes
One side hustle fr cllege students invlves taking ntes in class and selling them.
Three sites — StudySup, NexusNtes and Stuvia — ffer attractive pay fr uplading and selling class ntes t ther students at yur university. Each has its wn pay frmula. But yu usually get a bnus when smene signs up t get access t yur ntes, plus a payment fr each set f ntes that sell. Students say they can earn $250 t $500 per class, per semester. Because this jb requires taking great class ntes, yu’re likely t d better in schl.
Becme a tutr
Many yunger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That pens an pprtunity fr thse wh have mastered a subject, frm high schl algebra t Spanish, t teach that subject t thers. A number f tutring platfrms allw yu t sign up and tutr nline r in persn.
Sme f the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutrs, and, fr thse wh want t teach music, LessnFace.
Be a survey taker
The best ptin in this categry is a site called Prlific, which helps researchers find pre-screened survey participants. What makes this site better than mst is that it asks yu t answer qualifying questins — age, incme, family status, etc. — in advance. Then, the site sends yu nly the surveys that yu’re qualified t take. Yu’re given an estimate f the time it will require t take each survey and hw much it pays. Yu decide whether it’s wrth yur time.
Charge scters
Big campuses are ften littered with electric scters and bikes that can be unlcked and ridden arund campus. Riders can drp the scters just abut anywhere. S scter cmpanies, such as Bird and Lime, enlist “chargers” and “juicers” t pick them up, charge them vernight and return them t a designated area early the next mrning.
If yu have a late class, there are tw benefits t signing up t charge. First, yu earn between $5 and $20 fr each scter yu return fully charged. Yu als get t ride the scters hme fr free, which isn’t a bad way t get back t yur drm.

ECycling refers t the recycling f electrnic items, which are becming a cmmn prblem in American hme and thrughut the wrld. The EPA, r Envirnmental Prtectin Agency, has actually started a prgram t help and mtivate the recycling f electrnics.
T get the prgram t the reginal and neighbrhd levels, the EPA directed “Plug-In t eCycling Partners.” These partnerships supprt electrnic reusing prgrams in individual cmmunities. They prvide lcal gvernments, retailers and manufacturers with pprtunities t reuse and recycle their items. Thse wh make and ffer electrnic devices then prmte prgrams and pprtunities fr cnsumers t reuse their secnd-hand electrnic prducts. One f the EPA’s gals is t enlighten custmers abut why the recycling f electrnics is s imprtant. They likewise wish t make eCycling chances easily accessible t specific cnsumers and their family electrnics. Accrding t the EPA, the eCycling prgram has actually been quite successful. In 2008, the EPA cllected 66.5 millin punds f electrnic devices thrugh their Plug-In Partners.
Lcal gvernments have actually likewise gt n bard and passed laws intended t handle used electrnic devices. Huge crpratins have actually intrduced eCycling prgrams at their lcal retail stres. One seller ffers custmers small, medium and big bxes fr sale, which the custmers then lad with used electrnics and g back t the stre. Typically, custmers bring their recyclable electrnics t a lcatin. When the electrnic items are gathered by the EPA (typically this is dne by the Partners), they are reused r recycled.
Reused items are repaired and refurbished, and passed n t thers as a cntributin. Yu can repair r recnditin yur very wn electrnic devices t, extending the life f the items and cnserving the energy f making new materials. Reusing electrnic devices includes making use f the prducts and parts f the items. These materials and parts are then made use f t prduce anther item. This is mre efficient than making items frm new materials.
Sme items that are cmmnly eCycled cnsist f televisins, cmputer mnitrs, printers, ntebk cmputer, keybards and cable televisins. Less usual items include cpying machines, CD players, vice mail machines, cmputer hard drives, mbile telephnes, remte cntrls, radis, batteries, telephnes, facsimile machines and cmputer games. Occasinally, electrnic items such as micrwaves, fans, vacuums, smke alarms, and tasters are eCycled.
As the eCycling prgram cntinues, yu r yur rganizatin may want t get invlved. Check the EPA’s internet site () fr reginal eCycling prgrams, r fr details n hw yur cmpany can participate. Their website has links t rganizatins that are taking part in the eCycling prgram.

My hme is in Demntn near a river valley. It is a beautiful area that has been made int a park with meters f hiking trails (小路) alng the river.
One day I discvered a trail I had never seen befre. It was extremely steep and very slippery as it was cvered with ice. I was alne at the time and even thugh I was terrified, I still wanted t g fr a walk. Just this thught made my heart beat faster. I shk, nt frm the cld, althugh it was prbably arund -15℃, but frm the fear. I knew I had t d it.
I mved frward slwly and put ne ft n the trail, then the ther. Thus I cntinued, ne ft in frnt f the ther I went very slwly dwn the trail, shaking with every step. I was sweating despite my cld. I had n idea hw lng it wuld take me t travel alng the trail, but I didn’t care. I just wanted t cnquer my fear.
At last, I succeeded! At least that’s hw I felt. I nearly ran dwn the trail. Well, nt exactly ran, but it felt like that cmpare with my extremely slw speed in the beginning.
Maybe yu dn’t think this is much f a stry, but I just want t tell yu that we never knw what’s arund the crner. If yu cmpare this stry t life, yu’ll see that we have n idea where life is ging t take us, r hw many easy r difficult trails there are t chse frm until we make a chice!

When I give public lectures abut the climate crisis, the mst cmmn questin peple pse is: “Are yu an ptimist r a pessimist?”
My answer is yes. Califrnia has achieved dramatic emissins reductins in a thriving ecnmy, which makes me hpeful, yet in general the fssil-fuel industry is determined nt t change. The secnd mst cmmn questin is: “What can I, persnally, d?”
That’s a tugh ne. The majr drivers f climate change are cllective enterprises such as pwer grids, industry, large-scale agriculture and transprtatin systems. Substantial emissins reductins in these settings mst likely will nt cme frm persnal actins; they will cme frm laws and plicies such as carbn-pricing systems, revised building cdes and supprts fr green investment.
Sme peple have argued that calls fr individual actin actually distract us frm crprate respnsibility. That culd explain why the fssil-fuel industry is fnd f such requests. Oil giant BP ppularized and prmted the idea f a carbn ftprint, deflecting attentin t its custmers wh, it suggests, shuld take persnal respnsibility by lwering their carbn ftprints. One study fund that fcusing n individual activity actually undermines supprt fr mre effective plicy initiatives such as a carbn tax. Anther prblem with persnal behavir is that peple d nt like t be tld what t d.
Yet individual acts can grw int influential grup activity. One effective act, and ne that can be amplified, is t eat less red meat. Cutting meat cnsumptin is a pwerful and persnal thing mst Americans can d t tackle the climate crisis, and they can d it immediately. Abut 40 percent f greenhuse gases cme frm agriculture, defrestatin and ther land-use changes. Meat — particularly beef — drives climate change in tw ways: first, thrugh cws’ emissin f methane, a ptent greenhuse gas, and secnd, by destrying frests as they are cnverted t grazing land t satisfy the glbal demand fr beef. By eating less beef, we can start t decrease that demand. Yu d nt have t becme a vegan t d this. If every persn in the U.S. cut their meat cnsumptin by 25 percent, it wuld reduce annual greenhuse gas emissins by 1 percent. That might nt sund like a lt, but it wuld help prtect the rain frest, s the psitive effects — including reduced water and fertilizer use, imprved bidiversity and safeguarded rights f indigenus peples — wuld be amplified.
Perhaps mst imprtant, scial actin is cntagius — in a gd way. If lts f us begin t eat less meat and if we talk abut it cnstructively, we will likely influence thers. Pretty sn the 1 percent reductin becmes 2 percent r mre. Reduced demand fr meat culd mtivate my lcal supermarket t carry better prduce, making it easier fr me and my neighbrs t prepare a few mre satisfying meat-free meals. Ultimately changes in demand will influence industry. Frty years ag few mainstream supermarkets carried rganic prducts; nw nearly all d. Cnsumer demand did that.
Cutting back n red meat als has the added benefit f being gd fr yur health. S while I wuldn’t advise gvernments t rder peple t stp eating hamburgers, if anyne asks, “What can I d?” a simple and accurate answer is: “Eat less meat. It’s in yur cntrl, and yu can begin right nw. It benefits bth yu and the planet.”
27．Which ne plays the mst decisive rle in emissins reductins accrding t the passage?
A．Individual actins.B．Fssil-fuel industries.
C．The thriving ecnmy.D．Effective laws and plicies.
28．What d we learn frm the passage?
A．Indigenus peples turn frests int grazing land.
B．Meat is cnsidered as the biggest driver f climate change.
C．Small individual acts can make a big difference cllectively.
D．Mst Americans have t becme vegans t tackle the climate crisis.
29．What des the underlined wrd “cntagius” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A．Appealing.B．Pisnus.C．Harmnius.D．Spreading.
30．What is the purpse f the authr writing this passage？
A．T explain ways t reduce carbn ftprint.
B．T persuade peple t cut meat cnsumptin.
C．T evaluate the effects f healthy eating habits.
D．T argue against the emissin plicies f industries.
Abut 20 years ag, Daniel Hffman, a classically trained vilinist met a yung musician playing in the twn square in Marrakech, an ancient city in Mrcc. They cmmunicated in the little French they bth knew, but their main cmmn language was music. On the back f a mtrbike f the fellw vilinist, Hffman weaved thrugh the back streets f the city and then learned his first lessns in Andalusian music, the classical music f Nrth Africa.
That experience gave birth t an idea: What wuld it be like t try t learn hw t play different vilin styles arund the wrld in just ne week? Oh. yes, and at the end f that week, play a cncert. He even gt a name fr the cncept “musical extreme sprts”.
It tk him almst tw decades t launch that dream with a friend, wh intrduced him t the wnders f Kickstarter, a funding platfrm fr creative prjects. Up t nw, the dream has taken the frm f a new dcumentary currently airing n American public televisin statins called “Otherwise, It’s Just Firewd.”
In the dcumentary, Hffman travels t Cunty Clare, Ireland, where he takes lessns with James Kelly, a master Irish vilin player, fr less than a week and then perfrms tgether with him in frnt f an audience, many f whm are star Irish musicians.
The film is what Hffman hpes will be the first f an eventual series f shrt dcumentaries, shwing him learning t play the vilin in a variety f styles, including the flk music f suth India, Sweden, Greece, Rmania, and West Virginia.
That wuld add t his extensive repertire (全部曲目), which already includes Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Turkish styles. “The big jke is what’s the difference between the fiddle and the vilin? It’s the persn wh plays it,” says Niall Keegan, a traditinal flute player. “It’s the music yu make n it that makes it Irish r English r French r classical r jazz r whatever else. It’s hw we imagine it and hw we create thrugh it that make it and give it character.”
“Otherwise, it’s just firewd,” he says, wrds that became the film’s title.
31．Where des Hffman’s idea f musical extreme sprts cme frm?
A．His explratin f the lcal music.
B．His cperatin with the yung vilinist.
C．His sightseeing tur n a mtrbike seat.
D．His cnstantly changing taste in vilin styles.
32．Accrding t the passage, the series f dcumentaries ________.
A．help Hffman t becme a master vilin player
B．are funded by American public televisin statins
C．intrduce different styles f musicians arund the wrld
D．recrd Hffman’s experience in learning varius vilin styles
33．The title f the dcumentary “Otherwise, It’s Just Firewd” is used t emphasize ________.
A．the pwer f diversified artistic expressin
B．the pleasure in learning traditinal music
C．the technique f instrument playing
D．the imprtance f famus artists
