Driving has always been my escape. And then I have kids. Kids change the whle freedm f the rad experience. They arrive in yur backseat ne day, like sme crying VIPs that yu need t carry arund, and nthing is ever quite the same again.
These days, with three kids between the ages f 1 and 6 lined up in the backseat, I find that driving my car has becme mre abut predicting what might erupt at any mment. S, fr thse f yu abut t becme parents, here are sme types f kids yu’ll have in yur car.
1. The Cmplainers
“Are we there yet?”

When kids are tired r feel a little annyed, they cmplain. And nthing can make a car ride wrse than a steady stream f cmplaint cming frm the backseat.

3. The Hungry Vikings
My kids attack the snack and let it fall anywhere they may. I dn’t knw why I cntinue t let my kids eat in the car. Maybe it’s because we’re n the g a lt? Maybe it’s because I’m a cmplete idit? Regardless f the real reasn, the fact f the matter is that kids under, say 15 seem t eat fd in a mving vehicle much the same way that I imagine hungry Vikings used t tear a barely-cked turkey leg whenever they set ft n shre after a lng perid at sea.
4. The Cnversatinalists
Kids are really great traveling cmpanins a lt f the time-especially when they’re fast asleep. But when they’re just sitting back there talking t yu, listening t yu, and smiling at yu in the rearview mirrr (后视镜), thse are the best times in the wrld.

Thirty-fur years after graduating frm high schl, I fund myself sitting with sme f my frmer classmates fr an all-schl reunin.
Our cnversatin centered arund funny things and what ur classmates were up t nw. Eventually, the cnversatin came t a classmate, Janelle. Jill said, “Has anyne been in tuch with Janelle?” Diana said, “I tried t cntact her fr ur last reunin. She never respnded.” Jill said, “I’ve always felt bad abut hw she was treated.” There was a general murmur f agreement arund the table.
It had started in elementary schl when Danny, a ppular kid wh was always lking t be the center f attentin, caught a glimpse f Janelle picking her nse. Unaware that she was being watched, she slipped her finger int her muth. Immediately, Danny pinted at Janelle and exclaimed, “She ate her bgers (鼻屎)! THAT is SO disgusting.” The bys had a “grssed ut”(恶心的) lk n their faces and the taunt (嘲弄) was repeated by every by. By the end f the next day, everyne in ur class had knwn Janelle’s new nickname — “bger eater” and called it at least nce. Reluctant t jin in, smehw we did it anyway.
“Janelle never did anything. She just lked sad. Unfrtunately, n ne else did anything either. I wish any ne f us had std up fr her,” said Jill. Everyne arund the table agreed.
Each f us shared a time when we were reminded f Janelle ver the years. Jill shared hw her wn daughter was bullied in schl. Diana shared hw her sn came hme frm schl and tld her abut his classmate being bullied, and they talked abut hw he culd stand up fr the child being bullied. I shared hw we taught acceptance and kindness in my schl. Several f us had tears in ur eyes as we talked. We all regretted the part we played in the bullying.
When it was time t leave, Diana said, “I want t believe that, even thugh we cannt make amends (补偿) directly t Janelle, we can at least frgive urselves. Let’s make an agreement ging frward t d small acts f kindness in Janelle’s hnr. We hugged each ther tightly with damp eyes and agreed. I said, “I’m glad smething gd came ut f that negative experience that happened s lng ag.” Althugh frgiveness didn’t ccur the way we wanted it t —with Janelle— frgiving urselves feels gd. We can’t change the past, but we can frgive and mve frward.

Vast stretches f America are dminated by crn, nearly 100m acres f it, stretching frm Ohi t the Daktas. What nce was frest r pen prairie (大草原) tday prduces the crn that feeds peple, cattle and, when made int ethanl (乙醇), cars.
Nw, the natin’s airlines want t pwer their planes with crn, t. Their ambitius gal wuld likely require nearly dubling ethanl prductin, which airlines say wuld slash their greenhuse gas emissins. If they succeed, it culd transfrm America’s Crn Belt yet again, bsting farmers and ethanl prducers alike, but als ptentially further damaging ne f the natin’s mst imprtant resurces: grundwater.
Crn is a water-intensive crp and it can take hundreds f gallns t prduce a single galln f ethanl. But as airlines embrace the idea f ethanl, prmpting lbbyists (游说者) fr ethanl makers and crn grwers alike t push fr clean-energy tax credits in Washingtn, vital aquifers (地下水层) face serius risks. “We’re n track t massively increase water usage withut any real sense f hw sensitive ur aquifers are, “ said Jeffrey Brberg, wh is cncerned abut grundwater in Minnesta. a majr crn state, where he is a water-use cnsultant and funder f the Minnesta Well Owners Organizatin.
United Airlines this veal signed a deal with a Nebraska ethanl cmpany t buy enugh sustainable aviatin fuel as the bifuel is knwn, t pwer 50, 000 flights a year. In August, Delta annunced a plan t create a sustainable fuel hub(中心) in Minnesta. The Biden administratin culd decide n its tax incentives (激励) fr the industry as sn as December. “Mark my wrds, the next 20 years, farmers are ging t prvide 95% f all the sustainable airline fuel, ’’President Biden said in July.
This year a New Yrk Times data investigatin fund that grundwater is being dangerusly exhausted natinwide, largely by agricultural veruse. As climate change makes rainfall less reliable and intensifies drughts, rising demand fr ethanl culd put even mre pressure n America’s fragile aquifers t be used fr irrigatin.
8. What des the underlined wrd “slash” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Increase.B. Decrease.C. Maintain.D. Transfrm.
9. What is the ptential risk f the increased use f ethanl in aviatin fuel?
A. Decreased water usage.
B. Increased reliance n aquifers.
C. A bst in clean-energy tax credits.
D Expansin f. crn prductin.
10. What can we learn frm paragraph 4?
A. Farmers will duble their ethanl prductin.
B The sustainable aviatin fuel will nt gain ppularity in the future.
C. Farmers will play a majr part in the sustainable aviatin fuel industry.
D. The Biden administratin ppses the new aviatin fuel t prtect the aquifers.
11. What is the main idea f the text?
A. The Biden administratin’s attitude t the crn and ethanl industry.
B. Using crn-based ethanl can significantly reduce greenhuse gas emissins.
C. Grundwater resurces are being dangerusly exhausted due t agricultural veruse.
D. Using crn-based ethanl in aviatin may lead t increased grundwater exhaustin.

Why d peple read negative Internet cmments and d ther things that will bviusly be painful? Because humans have an intense need t reslve uncertainty accrding t a recent study in Psychlgical Science. The new research reveals that the need t knw is s strng that peple will seek t satisfy their curisity even when it is clear the answer will hurt.
In a series f experiments, behaviral scientists at the University f Chicag and the Wiscnsin schl f Business tested students willingness t expse themselves t unpleasant stimuli in an effrt t satisfy curisity. Fr ne trial, each participant was shwn a pile f pens that the researcher claimed were frm a previus experiment. The twist? Half f the pens wuld deliver an electric shck when clicked. Twenty-seven students were tld which pens were electrified, anther half were tld nly that sme were electrified. When left alne in the rm, the students wh did nt knw which nes wuld shck them clicked mre pens and suffered mre shcks than the students wh knew that wuld ccur.
Subsequent experiments reprduced this effect with ther irritants, such as the sund f fingernails n a chalkbard and phtgraphs f disgusting insects.
“The drive t discver is deeply rted in humans, much the same as the basic drives fr fd r shelter, “says Christpher Hsee f the University f Chicag. “Curisity is ften cnsidered a gd instinct — it can lead t new scientific advances, fr instance — but smetimes such inquiry can backfire. ”The insight that unhealthy curisity can drive yu t d self- destructive things is a prfund ne.
In a final experiment, participants wh were encuraged t predict hw they wuld feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely t chse t see such an image. These results suggest that imagining the utcme f fllwing thrugh n ne’s curisity ahead f time can help determine whether it is wrth the endeavr. “Thinking abut lng-term cnsequences is key t reducing the pssible negative effects f curisity,” Hsee says. In ther wrds, dn’t read nline cmments.
12. What can we learn abut the experiment by behaviral scientists in paragraph 2?
A. The ttal f the subjects is 27.
B All the pens were nt electrified.
C. Equally many shcks happened t all the subjects.
D. N subjects were expsed t the pens previusly.
13. What des the underlined wrd “irritants” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Stimulants.B. Slutins.C. Criteria.D. Purpses.
14. What is the attitude f Christpher Hsee twards curisity?
A. Apprving.B. Dismissive.C. Dubtful.D. Objective.
15. What is paragraph 5 f the text mainly abut?
A. The cause f unhealthy curisity.
B. The negative impact f unhealthy curisity.
C. The underlying feature f unhealthy curisity.
D. The practical measure t resist unhealthy curisity.

All I did was shw my little sister hw t grw plants. Dig a hle. Put in a seed. Cver it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whle plant will grw frm this tiny seed. All we have t d is water it.”
Laynie had her wn watering can s she culd “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran t the fence and started sprinkling water n anther spt. I walked ver and saw a fresh patch f dirt near the fence.
“Did yu plant smething there?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m grwing a pencil. My purple pencil gt t small, s I planted it.”
“What? But, Laynie—”
I shuld have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh…I never grew ne befre.”
Later I gt what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shuted.
A few days later, Laynie was watering n the same spt. Tw days later, new crayns sticking their pinty little heads ut, thanks t me. Laynie jumped up and dwn and yelled, “They lk like flwers!” She “picked” them and ran int the huse.
Next, Laynie grew an adult bear dll frm a tiny ne, a sup spn frm a teaspn, and a hand mirrr frm a piece f glass. When she claimed that she had grwn these things, I just kept my muth shut! Actually, it was fun trying t think f what shuld grw frm Laynie’s seeds. And it was cl t see her get excited.
One day I saw her patting dwn sme dirt near the fence again, s I knew she’d just planted smething. My heart drpped t my feet when she asked, “Hw lng des it take t grw a gldfish, Brad?” I culdn’t speak.
“Nt lng, I bet!” said Laynie. She knelt dwn t whisper “Grw, Mlly. Grw!” befre she skipped back t the huse.
