A few days ag, my husband, Russ, and I lst ur huse f 28 years t a Califrnia wild fire.
On that night, we had t leave ur huse and sleep in the back seat f ur Frd. The next mrning, we had t drive three and a half hurs t find a htel that had an available rm. Only later, in the lcal newspaper, did we see phtgraphs f the destructin. Our huse had been cnsumed by the fire alng with mst f ur neighbrhd.
Hw are we ging t rebuild after this? I thught, runding a crner in the sidewalk n my walk back t the htel. Is it even pssible?
I nticed smething up ahead—a pair f nickels, shining like precius jewels. They were just nickels, but they smehw felt special. I bent dwn and picked them up. If these were lucky cins, I culd use all the luck I culd get.
A few days later, I made a trip t the stre t buy essentials. The enrmus task f replacing everything we’d lst put a heavy weight n me. I was abut t leave when I felt the urge t stp and turn my head t the right. I culd hardly believe it—there n nickela shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is mre than luck, I thught and put the nickel in my pcket.
I tld myself that I had fund the nickels just by chance. Then I fund ne next t my plate at a restaurant—n Thanksgiving, n less, when I was missing ur huse mre than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted.
Whenever I reached my breaking pint, I’d find anther nickel. In the grass at the park, r near the tire f my car in a parking lt. Once, my change fr a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “I’m srry,” the cashier said. “It’s all we have.”
It’s all I needed!
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phne rang. It was a real-estate agent I’d been wrking with.
“I have a new listing,” she said.
“When can we see it?”
A few hurs later, Russ and I were fllwing the agent dwn the driveway tward the huse.

A new study has fund human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically（用数字表示地） and have mre predictive pwer fr hw we behave than frmal studies f sciecnmic factrs like husehld incme and emplyment status.
The study c-authr Andrew Oswald, a prfessr f ecnmics and behaviral science gathered infrmatin frm nearly 700,000 peple, wh were asked annually ver a three-decade perid hw they felt n a numerical scale abut their jb, spuse, health and hme. Using the data cllected, researchers cnstructed statistical mdels t shw hw peple felt and the actins they tk as a result f their reprted feelings. The study fund that ratings f life satisfactin had a direct linear (线性的) relatinship t actins peple subsequently take. Participants wh rated their jb satisfactin as a 2 ut f 7 had a 25% prbability f quitting their jb. Thse wh rated a 6 ut f 7 had nly a 10 percent prbability f quitting. The same was true acrss ther measures like marriage, health and husing.
Previus research has als shwn data abut feelings predict human utcmes, but nt in such a linear fashin; the degree f satisfactin served as a gd predictr f future actins. Additinally, ecnmists have previusly been critical f feelings data because they cnsidered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shws sciecnmic factrs have a lesser prbability f predicting human behavir than data n feelings.
Thugh the study shws numbers can quantify（量化） feelings, researchers are still a bit cnfused as t why estimates f seemingly subjective feelings can be such gd predictrs f future actins. Accrding t Oswald, a number f factrs culd be at play. Humans are very experienced in cmparative thinking and are able t scale their wn life satisfactin against that f their neighbrs. We’re als accustmed t using measuring devices fr ther aspects f life like temperature, distance and weight, s it shuldn’t be t surprising that we’re able t measure ur feelings in a similarly accurate way. Anther study c-authr Caspar Kaiser says that it may als be because we cmmunicate ur feelings and d it in a scaled fashin every day. This culd be why it cmes ut in the data mre accurately than in bjective markers.
Ori Heffetz, an ecnmics prfessr wh was nt invlved in the study, says that this research shws feelings data shuldn’t be underestimated even if they’re mre difficult t study. “Scientists wh ignre this d s at their wn risk,” he says.
Lking ahead, Kaiser hpes this same data can be studied in lwer-incme cuntries s that it can be applied universally t places with varied levels f ecnmic develpment. But mre than anything else he’s interested in studying why feelings wrk s well.
8、Paragraph 2 is mainly abut .
A. research prcess and findingsB. research tpic and significance
C. research subjects and purpseD. research data cllectin and analysis
9、What can we knw abut the study?

B. It challenges the pinin that feelings data are unreliable.
C. It explains why ratings f feelings can fresee future actins.
D. It first shws data abut feelings can predict human behavir
10、What is Ori’s attitude twards the study?
A. Neutral.B. Skeptical.C. Supprtive.D. Cautius.
11、Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Hw Yu Rate Yur Life Predicts Yur Future Behavir
B. Feelings Frecast Actins Better than Ecnmic Factrs
C. Why Yur Feelings Affect Yur Future Actins
D. Ranking Every Aspect f Yur Life Cunts
Hardly a day ges by withut a cmpany telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising hw much it cntributes t the envirnment n ur behalf. Flwers grw ut f pwer-statin chimneys; SUVs are presented in natural habitats; il cmpanies use sunny, friendly lgs and prmise cleaner technlgies- althugh, in fact, they fail t make enugh investment in renewable r alternative energy surces. Statistics are made up, and the tiniest eclgical imprvements are verstated in multi-millin-dllar advertising campaigns, while in the meantime the greedy side f the business cntinues.
This is knwn as greenwashing, which means “making things that are nt green lk green”. The phenmenn has lng existed since the first Earth Day in 1970, when cmpanies spent $300 millin advertising themselves as green cmpanies—many times mre than the mney they actually spent n research int pllutin reductin itself. And the trend cntinued ver the fllwing decades when sme f the planet’s wrst plluters tried t pass themselves ff as ec-friendly. As the public’s envirnmental awareness grew, s t did the experience f crprate public relatins strategies, and advertisers fund ever- mre-creative ways t use a green curtain t hide dark mtives.
Of curse, sme businesses are genuinely cmmitted t making the wrld a better, greener place. But when a cmpany spends mre time and mney claiming t be “green” than actually adpting business practices that minimize envirnmental impact, it is clear that, fr them, envirnmentalism is little mre than a cnvenient slgan(口号). Their message is “buy ur prducts and yu will end glbal warming, imprve air quality and save the ceans”. At best, such greenwashing pushes the fact t its limits; at wrst, it helps cnceal deceptin.
And what abut tday’s cnsumers? Few f them are truly well-equipped t make infrmed decisins abut what is true. Greenwashing is nly pssible because cnsumers ften believe what they are being tld-why else wuld cmpanies d it? Mre infrmatin and greater awareness are essential. Analysing the tricks used by advertisers shuld be part f every schl curriculum. Nn- gvernmental rganisatins can spread the wrd. Cnsumer grups can punish the greenwashing cmpanies. But it is nt enugh. Legally enfrceable systems must be put in place.
S what is already being dne abut planned attempts t pull the wl ver cnsumers’ eyes? In the United States, the Federal Trade Cmmissin is taking actin against misleading advertising claims. France has published Green Claims Guidance, stressing that “an advertisement must avid cnveying a message cntrary t the accepted principles f sustainable develpment”. All f these surely are the heart f the matter: the true impact f advertising is the prmtin f unsustainable lifestyles. And there lies the real danger t ur planet, a danger which cannt be ignred any lnger.
12、What can we learn abut greenwashing?
A. It is an eclgical cnceptB. It is a marketing technique.
C. It is an awareness campaignD. It is an advertising innvatin.
13、What des the underlined phrase “cnceal deceptin” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Hide the truth.B. Raise the risk.
C. Expse the weakness.D. Break the limit.
14、What can be inferred abut mst cnsumers?
A. They are lacking in legal knwledgeB. They have encuraged greenwashing.
C. They may questin cnsumer grupsD. They tend t make sensible decisins.
15、What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Actins t fight false advertising.
B. Ways t prtect custmers’ interest.
C. Attempts t slve envirnmental prblems.
D. Prpsals t ensure sustainable develpment.

34、A cuple f years ag, I vlunteered t be a finish-line “hugger” at the Kentucky Special Olympics held in Richmnd.
The day f the event dawned dull, wet and gray. Even thugh it started t rain and a cld wind blew, mst f the participants were s excited that they didn’t seem t ntice the weather at all.
My jb was t stand at the end f a lane n the track and hug the persn in that lane when he r she crssed the finish line. It seemed t me that many f the participants cmpleted their races just s they culd get that finish “hug”. As the arms f the hugger clsed arund them, their faces lit up with pure jy, whether they came in first r dead last.
While we huggers std arund, we talked. I was tld that mst f the participants had been training fr the races all year. I als nticed that, the Special Olympic participants weren’t here just t win. They didn’t talk negatively abut the peple they were racing against. In fact, they hugged and wished each ther luck befre they started, and hugged again when it was ver, whether they had wn r nt.
What I remember mst vividly frm that day was the lng-distance race. It was a lng race by any standards: twelve laps arund the track. There were nly fur participants, three bys and ne girl. They were nly a cuple f laps int the race when the rain started up again. Standing in the rain, I began t feel miserable. My feet hurt. I was saking wet. I was hungry. I was cld when the rain and wind came and ht when the sun came ut. I thught irritably: This race is lasting entirely t lng. Even thugh the three bys were nearly finished, the girl was at least fur laps behind. I wndered why she kept ging when there was bviusly n way she culd win.
