展开Passage1
(2023辽宁鞍山二模)
A few years ag,I went shpping with a friend fr a new mtrcycle.He didn’t have a particular brand r mdel in mind except tw standards.A big engine—since t much hrsepwer is never enugh—and since he’s tall,a relatively relaxed riding psitin.
I suggested a Hayabusa,which met his standards r an XS-14R.Bth were within his budget,especially the Hayabusa since the dealer was ffering a $2,500 discunt n a previus year’s mdel.
He rde them bth and lved them bth.But then he became very interested in a ZX-6R KRT—a great mtrcycle,sure,but with a much smaller mtr and a riding psitin that made him lk like a cntrted mantis(变形的螳螂).It seemed like a strange chice.
I felt puzzled until it hit me.The purchase f any mtrcycle 750cc and under came with a free helmet (头盔).Since my friend als wanted a new helmet,getting ne fr free was extremely attractive.After all,the math didn’t wrk.We eventually negtiated $3,200 ff the price f the Hayabusa.The free helmet was nly wrth $250.Hwever,my friend’s final decisin was ZX-6R KRT with a free helmet.
A 2017 study published in MarketingScience fund that peple tend t significantly vervalue “free”.When faced with a chice f selecting ne f several available prducts,peple will chse the ptin with the highest cst-benefit difference;hwever,decisins abut free (zer-price) prducts differ,because peple d nt simply take away csts frm benefits but instead,cnsider the benefits assciated with free prducts t be higher.
Tw mnths later,my friend traded in his 6R fr a 14R.But I dn’t think badly f him.We’ve all been blinded by the pwer f “free”.S whenever smething is free,stp and cnsider the intentin,and see “free” as a reasn t d even mre math.

I saw the Swedish film adaptatin (starred by Tbias Almbrge and Anna-Lena Brudin) f Fredrik Backman’s incredibly funny,heartbreaking nvel “A Man Called Ove”.Tward the end f that film,which was beautifully written and directed by Hannes Hlm,there is a scene in which Ove,a widwer(鳏夫) in his 60s,takes his neighburs ut fr a drive.As they ride tgether,the nrmally unfriendly and severe Ove sighs,allws himself a rare smile and says:“This is living.”
Mst viewers prbably didn’t give this little cmment f Ove’s a secnd thught.Fr me,thugh,it marked the turning pint f Ove’s search fr renewed purpse in his life.
In Ove,Backman has created a character wh at times can be unreasnable,stubbrn and even dwnright rude—the srt f man whse shcking and mrally unacceptable reactins t everyday situatins becme the subject f cmic anecdtes that are retld cuntless times by enemies and friends alike.
Many f the peple telling thse stries dn’t realize,thugh,that much f Ove’s strange behaviur is actually a symptm f his private heartache.Widwed,living alne and recently pushed int retirement,Ove is struggling at the utset f Backman’s stry t find smething wrth living fr,and his unwillingness t share with thers what he is ging thrugh serves nly t further separate him frm the wrld.Ove’s situatin reminds me f the islatin we all felt during the pandemic.I saw alng with everyne else hw quickly lneliness and islatin can influence harmny,driving peple apart at a time when we need t cnnect t thers the mst.
Ove is just ging n a drive with neighburs when he says,“This is living,” but I think he is feeling the way many f us did when the pandemic became less serius and we began t recnnect with the wrld.In that mment,Ove has started t find his new purpse just by allwing thers back int his life and caring fr them.
