Hw an Individual Can Make a Difference
In the face f a multitude f glbal prblems, it can be difficult t feel like an individual r small grups can make a difference. Our minds and hearts are in the right place but what can ne persn really d? It turns ut quite a lt.
With Martin Luther King Day just arund the cmer in the United States, it's the perfect time fr all f us t 31 and remember just hw much f an impact ne persn can make n the wrld. In his icnic speech at the Lincln Memrial fr the 1963 March n Washingtn fr Jbs and Freedm, King tld America, "I have a dream that ne day this natin will rise up and live ut the true meaning f its creed: We hld these truths t be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
The scial impact King had in the United States is tangible, 32 and real. All f us here at Up with Peple are 33 f the pwer f individuals t make a difference. In fact, it's ur missin.
Thrugh music and actin, we empwer yung peple t be a psitive 34 f change fr a mre hpeful, trusting, and peaceful wrld.
Yu might think the difference yu can make is 35 . N matter what cmer f the wrld yu call hme, what yu d everyday matters and even small acts can make giant ripples f gd in this wrld we all share.
It's a myth that what we d has t be 36 t make a difference. Yu dn't have t be Martin Luther King Jr. t have a psitive scial impact n yur cmmunity. Margaret Mead put it best, "Never dubt that a small grup f thughtful and 37 citizens can change the wrld. Indeed, it is the nly thing that ever has."
S, start small. D daily, small acts f kindness. Pay fr smene's cffee, pen a dr, let smene cut in frnt f yu in line r smile. Spread kindness because the wrld needs it.
38 mney r yur time. Pick an rganizatin clse t hme r vlunteer arund the wrld with Up with Peple!
Be a（n） 39 r jin a meaningful campaign. Ggling "jin a campaign" will result in millins f respnses frm supprting children t the elderly. Whatever yu get 40 in will advance the campaign greatly because f yur actins. Pick ne thing t start s yu dn't get verwhelmed.
II. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Please stp ruining children's summer camp
Teslie Cnrad is the directr f Clemsn Outdr Lab in Suth Carlina, which runs several different yuth summer camps. Clemsn 41 cell phnes and ther electrnic devices in summer camps. And accrding t the American Camp Assciatin, mst sleep-away camps in the United States 42 access t cell phnes.
This makes sense. We traditinally think f summer camps as a place where we get t swim in a lake, camp under the stars and make new 43 ver campfires and utdr adventures, nt ne where we text and play vide games.
Researchers say that campers develp invaluable scial skills, while facing risks and wrking their way thrugh their feelings f hmesickness—all 44 . "It's kind f like letting g f everything and cming t a different wrld, "says Alexa Sherman, an 11-year-ld camper. Many f the campers there say they 45 YuTube and Snapchat, but they quickly cme t appreciate the hands-n activities and in-persn friendships.
The peple wh have the 46 time letting g, camp directrs say, aren't necessarily the campers themselves, but instead their parents.
Barry Garst studies yuth develpment at Clemsn University. He said that whether yu call them "helicpter", "snwmbile" r "lawnmwer" parents, ver-invlved parenting is having a negative verall effect and is 47 the types f psitive interpersnal experiences these camps are meant t prvide fr yuth. Nt weather, nt water safety, nt dangerus bears. It's parents wh call every day demanding 48 n their kids and wh expect t hear frm the camp directr abut every skinned knee.
Meg Barthel, the lead girls' cunselr at camp Ech, carries a device with access t Wi-Fi arund camp. "I have t 49 the mthers wh are used t having cnstant cmmunicatin with their daughters, "she says. Hw many 50 a day? "Up t 100"
Sme camps address parents' 51 fr updates by psting pictures and vides nline. But smetimes this can have the 52 effect. In respnse, they'll ften receive the fllwing phne call: "Hell, camp directr, I was n yur 53 and I dn't see them. Are they OK? Were they sent t the hspital?"
Research n ver-parenting, says Garst, shws that when parents behave this way, the develpment f a child's sense f 54 can be slwed r can becme altgether halted. The parents are sending the message that they dn't think their kids can get thrugh tugh mments n their wn, and the kids pick up n this attitude. "Children are nt really learning hw t 55 fr themselves."
41. A. bans B. prduces C. searches D. prvides
42. A. want B. limit C. enable D. imprve
43. A. friends B. decisins C. investments D. mistakes
44. A. n purpse B. in agreement C. by themselves D. with excitement

My 14-year-ld sn, Jhn, and I sptted the cat almst at the same time. It was hanging at a secndhand clthing stre. While the ther cats lked rather depressed, this ne lked as if it were hlding itself up. The thick, black wl f the chesterfield（长大衣）was sft and unwrn. It was beautifully tailred and had an unbelievable price tag f $28. We lked at each ther, saying nthing, but Jhn's eyes shne. Dark, wlen cats were ppular with teenage bys; but culd cst several hundred dllars new. This cat was even better, bearing that tuch f classic elegance frm lng ag.
Jhn tried it n and turned frm side t side, eyeing himself in the mirrr with a serius, studied expressin that sn changed int a smile. The fit was perfect.
Jhn wre the cat t schl the next day and came hme with a grin. "Hw did the kids like yur cat?" I asked. "They lved it!" he said merrily, carefully flding it ver the back f a chair and smthing it flat.
Over the next few weeks, a change came ver Jhn. Agreement replaced prtest; quiet, reasned discussin replaced argument. He became mre sensible, mre plite, mre thughtful, eager t please. "Gd dinner, Mm, " he wuld say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start n hmewrk befre dinner, Jhn, wh was always putting ff ding stuff, said, "Yu're right. I guess I will."
When I mentined this incident t ne f his teachers and remarked that I didn't knw what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It must be his cat!" At the library, we ran int a friend wh had nt seen ur children fr a lng time, "Culd this be Jhn?" he asked, lking up t Jhn's new height, assessing the style f his cat and extending his hand, ne gentleman t anther.
Smetimes, watching Jhn leave fr schl, I'm reminded f what it felt like t be at his age—a time when it was as easy t try n different appraches t life as it was t try n a cat.

（C）
When in a saturated（饱和的）market, yu need a hk that makes yur business stand ut frm the cmpetitin. Lwer prices culd help, but imagine a tactic that culd encurage rganic cnversatin abut yur brand, and actually help yu increase the value f yur prduct.
That's scarcity marketing. And yu'll find it used acrss numerus industries.
It's especially cmmn n retail, as cmpanies use several exclusivity techniques, like limited time sales, t encurage cnsumers further alng the buying cycle. It's als cmmn in the tech industry, whether fr prmting apps r devices. Even beauty brands are rewarding cnsumers with exclusive club membership.
Scarcity marketing is everywhere. But it's als a risky tactic.
Limited items and restricted membership mean sme f yur cnsumers will miss ut, leading t frustratin, disappintment, and anger. Yu need t use scial media listening t make sure yur strategy desn't backfire.
The reasn why scarcity marketing tactics are s effective is due t ur fear f missing ut, r FOMO（fear f missing ut）. It's driven by the explsive grwth f scial netwrking that gives us a greater pprtunity t cnnect with peple arund the wrld. But that increased reliance n the Internet encurages peple t feel mre anxius abut missing smething imprtant.
Brands can make the mst f this in their sales and marketing strategy by the scarcity principle. Cnsumers place a higher value n gds that are scarce. Or even, just perceived t be scarce. S, by decreasing the availability f yur prduct r service, while still maintaining the demand, yur prduct will be made mre scarce. Meaning yu can charge a premium price. That`s why scarcity marketing is s effective. Yu're decreasing supply, tipping the equilibrium（均衡）in yur favur.
In What Exclusivity Can D fr Yur Business Marketing, Rachel Winsted explains hw yu can use exclusivity as yur entire marketing strategy. This relies less n traditinal marketing techniques, and mre n making yur brand appear unique.
This butique style can be mre cst-effective, as yu dn't need t advertise t everyne. In fact, it benefits frm fewer peple knwing abut the brand. That way, new cnsumers get an extra thrill frm discvering yu and will sell yu t their friends, if nly t shw ff what they've discvered. The three things fr making this strategy wrk are：
•Netwrking
With fewer marketing channels available, yu want mre face-t-face engagement. It's a mre persnal way t prmte. Therefre, mre exclusive.
•A simpler nline presence
Yu want t create engaging scial media cntent, nt prmtinal sales psts. Give clients the pprtunity t find ut mre abut yu n their wn accrd.
•An amazing custmer experience
This is essential. There's n pint in being exclusinary if what yu ffer isn't. It's easy fr exclusivity t g wrng if there's nthing unique abut the brand.
63. Which f the fllwing cases falls int the categry f strategy f scarcity marketing? l
A. small café in Singapre nly pens n randm days.
B. A fitness gym encurages peple t pre-purchase curses with a special ffer.
C. A csmetic shp sends samples f its latest prducts t its ptential custmers.
D. Face masks are ut f stck during the utbreak f the pandemic in January 2020.
64. All f the adjectives describe the feature f scarcity marketing EXCEPT “___________”
A. risky B. tricky C. effective D. weird
65. Accrding t the cntext, which phrase best interprets the underlined wrd "backfire" in paragraph 5?
A. Let smebdy dwn. B. Miss a glden pprtunity.
C. Have the ppsite effect. D. G against the principle.
66. Which f the fllwing statements is true accrding t the passage?
A. Access t the Internet culd alleviate peple's fear f missing ut because f the extensive infrmatin it prvides.
B. Yur scarcity marketing wuld be in vain withut the excellent custmer experience.
C. Decreasing the availability f yur prduct results in the decline in demand.
D. The mre peple yu target at, the mre peple knwing abut yur brand, the better.

The Wrld's Wrst Airprt
Like expensive watches that never break, the wrld's best airprts can be bring. Yu land, breeze thrugh passprt cntrl and check int a htel within minutes. The experience is pleasant, but nt memrable. 67 T adapt Tlsty, lvely airprts are all alike, but every wretched（不幸的）airprt is wretched in its wn way.
Cnsider Juba, the airprt in Suth Sudan's capital, which is a ht tent. Planes are ften late, s passengers must sweat fr hurs. The departure hall has n tilets, n fd and n queuing system. Lucky is the traveller wh finds a chair that is nly half-brken. Since dirty water and trpical diseases are cmmn, s are upset stmachs. Tugh luck. Travellers shuld have thught twice befre eating salad.
68 Big imprtant peple's servants carry their bags, which are stentatiusly（卖弄地））passed rund, nt thrugh, the scanner. Since the machine seldm wrks, little pepled are in effect up-graded t big imprtant status by nt having their bags scanned fr guns and explsives, either.
Suth Sudan is at war, s many UN planes take ff frm Juba carrying aid wrkers and emergency supplies. 69 When a jurnalist was bked n a UN flight, he was assured by the gvernment that his papers were in rder. Yet at the airprt he was tld t get a furth permit, as well as the three expensive nes he had already btained. This required a trip acrss twn. Predictably, he missed his plane.
Juba has three terminals, but nly ne is in use. After Suth Sudan became independent in 2011, the gvernment planned t build an airy structure f glass, steel and cncrete. 70 In 2016 the gvernment decided t build a mre mdest terminal. But it, t, stands half-cmpleted and empty, next t the tented camp that peple actually have t use. Travellers are advised t bring a gd, lng bk.

Where Shuld Arts Get Its Funding?
Few peple wuld dubt the value f the art in a civilized sciety. Great art enriches peple's lives by prviding pleasure and an escape frm the pressure f everyday life. Hwever, it is als true that many f the arts, such as classical music, the ballet, and the visual arts have always attracted minrity audience. The questin is whether the arts shuld be publicly funded, r whether it is the cnsumers wh shuld pay. It is my view that the gvernment shuld subsidize（资金补助）the arts, fr a number f reasns.
First f all, withut subsidies, many artists wuld undubtedly be unable t survive financially. Gvernment grants can enable them t wrk with artistic freedm, while if they wrked independently r relied n private subsidies, they might be subject t market pressure and the need t make a prfit.
Secndly, the art cntributes t a natin's cultural heritage and can create a sense f scial identity. They can als play an imprtant rle in educatin, cmmunity regeneratin and even crime preventin. Hwever, the main argument fr public funding f the arts is nt scial usefulness, but rather because they are imprtant fr their wn sake.
Of curse, there are thse wh argue that public mney wuld be better spent n meeting the needs f the pr members f sciety, rather than catering fr the interest f an elite（精英）. Hwever, I believe that a healthy sciety is ne in which art and creativity are valued alngside these basic needs. Indeed, a civilized sciety ught t make the arts accessible t everyne, regardless f their backgrund and incme.
In cnclusin, the arts shuld be funded acrss a brad range f activities, fr example, by supprting cmmunity r schl theater prjects, r bringing sculptures and art installatins t public places.
