Here’s a quick quiz. Persn A des a favr fr yu. Persn B asks yu t d a favr fr him. Wh d yu tend t like mre? Surprisingly, the answer is Persn B. This quirk (怪癖) f human nature is knwn as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came acrss the phenmenn in 1736 when serving as a clerk t the Pennsylvania Assembly. A pwerful member didn’t care fr Franklin and threatened t make life miserable fr him. What t d? Instead f winning him ver with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he culd brrw a rare and valuable bk the man wned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way fr their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has nce dne yu a kindness will be ready t d yu anther, than he whm yu yurself have bliged.”
Several studies have cnfirmed this. But hw can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Sme psychlgists refer t cgnitive dissnance (失调). It’s difficult t hld tw cntradictry thughts at the same time. It makes us uncmfrtable. We reslve this tensin by changing ur mind. “I dn’t like Je, but I am ding him a favr,” we might think. “S maybe I d like him.”
While cgnitive dissnance explains a lt, it alne desn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study fund that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) mtive that the requests cnvey. That is, we humans want t maintain gd relatins with ther humans, and ne way t achieve this is by ding favrs fr thers. This explains a lt abut altruistic behavir. We like being useful and, by extensin, we like thse wh give us the pprtunity t d s. It’s in ur genes.
Yet there is much we still dn’t knw abut the Ben Franklin Effect. Des it apply equally acrss cultures? Is there a pint beynd which asking a favr makes yu less, nt mre likable? Asking t brrw a bk is ne thing; asking t brrw a car is anther.
28. Why des the authr mentin Benjamin Franklin’s experience?
A. T illustrate a dilemma in making chices.B. T suggest a way f striking up friendships.
C. T stress the imprtance f strategic requests.D. T intrduce the rigin f the Ben Franklin Effect.
29. What is a reasn fr peple’s tendency t like thse asking fr favrs?
A. Reducing the tensin caused by scial cntact.
B. Increasing the chance f getting help in return.
C. Aviding the discmfrt frm cnflicting thughts.
D. Establishing a cperative cmmunity f shared trust.
30. What des the underlined wrd “altruistic” prbably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Selfless.B. Implite.C. Aggressive.D. Respnsible.
31. What des the authr think f the Ben Franklin Effect?
A. It makes little sense.B. It applies t mst cultures.
C. It has situatinal limitatins.D. It has great practical significance.
D
At ne time, ur grwing ppulatin was seen as central t wildlife extinctin, resurce exhaustin, pllutin and envirnmental destructin. But tday, ur cncerns shift t declining birth rates due t increased reprductive chice fr wmen.
This is a psitive develpment, but is ften described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting ecnmic and senir care challenges. Lst in the cnversatin are the many psitive aspects f an aging sciety, which is the result f peple living healthier and lnger lives, and cmmn-sense realities like reduced needs fr infrastructure (基础设施) and lwer eclgical impacts. Als lst is the fact that ur ppulatin still grws by 80 millin peple every year.
And the cnsequences f high birth rates are severe. Amng them is glbal warming. In fact, increased emissins (排放) frm ppulatin grwth have canceled mre than three quarters f the emissins saved thrugh energy efficiency and renewables ver the past three decades.
Yet, n matter hw well dcumented the link between ppulatin and climate, lwering ur ppulatin is ntably absent frm the cnversatin n slutins. Instead, the fcus is n technlgy that will suppsedly allw ur entire grwing ppulatin t enjy the energy-intensive lifestyles nw enjyed by the rich, and with n climate impacts.
But “green” technlgy is nt the slutin it is advertised t be. Its expansin t the degree needed t pwer a grwing ppulatin at a decent standard f living wuld itself require a shcking investment in fssil (化石) fuels. It als requires massive mining peratins, many f which take place n the backs f lw-wage wrkers in Africa where it is driving destructin f rainfrests critical t the survival f great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fssil fuel plants fr the same amunt f energy generated.
When glbal warming threatens t push billins int unsafe temperatures, it is n time t panic that we are adding fewer t thse billins. In fact, declining birth rates shuld be cause fr celebratin as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden n Earth.
32. What can we learn frm paragraph 2?
A. The glbal ppulatin is decreasing every year.
B. The benefits f an aging sciety are verlked.
C. The eclgical envirnment is turning fr the better.
D. The media make up misleading news abut the ppulatin.
33. What is highlighted as a disadvantage f high birth rates?
A. Reduced infrastructure needs.B. Challenges in senir care services.
C. A slwdwn in ecnmic grwth.D. Increased greenhuse gas emissins.
34. Why is “green” technlgy questined in the text?
A. It des damage t the ecsystem.B. It is nt ppular arund the wrld.
C. It is unaffrdable fr pr regins.D. It has little effect n reducing pllutin.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Aging Scieties: A Glbal CrisisB. The Mystery f “Green” Technlgy
C. The Trend f Ppulatin GrwthD. Declining Birth Rates: A Hpeful Sign

But my passin fr sprts came t a sudden stp when I began experiencing extreme back pain later that day. After several visits t dctrs finally I was tld that a spine(脊柱) surgery was necessary. Unfrtunately, the surgery accidentally damaged my spinal crd(脊髓). I was in the ward hanging face dwn t relieve the pressure n my spine.
After fur-mnth rehabilitatin training(康复训练) in hspital, reality slwly set in—I was unable t walk again. I culdn’t believe this shuld have happened t me, that it wasn’t pssible t recver, that I wuldn’t becme a famus basketball player, that my life as I had knwn it, was ver.

Allwing thers t help was a turning pint. I realized my attitude was the biggest barrier I had t face. Hw culd I expect thers t see my ptential if I didn’t see it myself? Hw culd I realize my basketball dream if I withdrew int myself?

One pssible versin:
The nline class was abslutely wnderful. Themed n the Appreciatin f Classic Petry, it unflded the eternal charm f classic petry t us. Online as it was, this class created a ttally immersive atmsphere.
The highlight f the class was the shrt clip named “When Li Bai Meets William Wrdswrth”. By cmparing the differences and similarities f these tw great rmantic pets, the vide gave us a new insight int their writing skills and the emtins hidden behind the lines. It als triggered ur passin t explre mre abut the ever-lasting beauty f pems.
Hnestly, it wuld be better if mre interactive elements, such as mini-games r real-time cmments, are included in this class. Generally speaking, it was truly fantastic.
【答案】 One day, Bb tk me t a wheelchair basketball game. This became a decisive turning pint in my life. The same basketball curt and the same excited audience. The nly difference was that the players were mving arund in their wheelchairs just like I did. They turned arund, charging frward and shwing their lay-ups nimbly. Amazed at their skill, I kept applauding until the game cncluded. Then, Bb said smething that was ging t change my life frever, “Jack, if they can d it, s can yu! Why nt reignite yur basketball dream?”
With Bb’s encuragement, I decided t have a try at my dream. I signed up fr a basketball curse fr the disabled. Every weekend, my teammates and I wuld practice mving, turning arund, passing the ball and shting in a wheelchair. When Bb watched my game three mnths later, it was he wh kept applauding fr my regained basketball skill. Thanks t Bb’s encuragement and my changing attitude, I am nw n my way t becming LeBrn James. The nly difference is that my versin f James is playing in the wheelchair, but by n means cnfined t it.
