Ice cream has held a unique rle in ur wrld's histry and culture—but where did it cme frm?
The first accunts f cld desserts and iced drinks date back t as early as the first century. In civilizatins including ancient Rme, Mughal India, and Tang dynasty China, these icy treats were mainly enjyed by the ryal families. And finding the means t freeze these desserts wasn't always easy. Wealthy Mediterranean nbility (地中海贵族) sent labrers t climb up high muntains t harvest glacial ice and snw.
Yet the cream-based treat we knw tday made a much later first shwing. It was riginally inspired by sherbet (果汁冰糕) , r sharbat in Arabic, an icy drink believed t have riginated in Persia (波斯) , and later gained ppularity in the Middle Ages. Eurpean travelers brught sharbat recipes hme, and began creating their wn chclate, nut, and even eggplant flavred taste n the refreshment. In 1692, Antni Latini, an Italian chef, recrded a recipe fr a unique milk-based versin, which sme histrians call the first ice cream.
In the 18th century, ice cream expanded its reach as these recipes set sail alngside Eurpean settlers t Nrth America. Yet it was still mainly enjyed by the upper classes as the prcess t make it was quite labrius, and its main ingredients (原料) —sugar, salt and cream—were expensive. In Philadelphia in 1843, Nancy Jhnsn patented a revlutinary ice cream-making machine, which made the prcess easier fr any hme ck. And string ice cream was n lnger hard, as by the mid-1830s, New England businessman “Ice King” Frederic Tudr had greatly imprved the ice trade, shipping thusands f tns f ice t husehlds acrss the glbe. Sn, ice cream was n every street crner.
Tday, ice cream cntinues t take n new frms. And while sme f its mysteries may never be slved, ne thing is certain: ur lve fr ice cream will never lessen.

Overfunctining behavirs, such as verwrking, verachieving, verthinking, verexplaining, vergiving r vercmmitting, are quite cmmn in ur life and wrk.
Why d we ften engage in verfunctining behavirs? The reasn is that we want t create psychlgical safety fr urselves. Overfunctining behavirs are a frm f nervus-system regulatin. When yu feel anxiety, stress, frustratin r uncertainty abut yur life r jb, the threat netwrks in yur brain will be activated: Yu're afraid. T restre balance, yu engage in verfunctining behavirs t stay “relevant” r “n tp” s that yu can alleviate yur fear. The cnventinal wisdm is that “trying t be the best” is a frm f resilience that makes us mre prductive.
Hwever, recent researches suggest therwise. A 2018 meta-analysis f 25, 000 peple, cnducted by Dana Harari and his clleagues and published in the Jurnal f Applied Psychlgy, fund n relatinship between actual perfrmance and the perfectinism typical f success. Take verthinking fr example: If verthinking wrked, it wuld allw us t slve mre prblems in ur lives. But the research shws the ppsite is true. Overthinking is linked t prer decisin-making, greater interpersnal prblems and mre distress. In ther wrds, cnstant effrts dn't make yu the best perfrmer. A 2021 study by a team f Chinese researchers fund that perfectinism was related t greater anxiety and depressin. A 2023 study reprted that verachievers had higher levels f dpamine (多巴胺) , a neurtransmitter (神经递质) related t bth mtivatin and addictin. The brain can create pwerful cravings that perpetuate (使持久) ur verfunctining——the mre yu verfunctin, the mre yu want t verfunctin. Cnstant verfunctining des great harm t ur mental and physical health.
T break the trap f verfunctining, it's vital t see that they are just frms f safety-seeking. We need t recgnize that the mst pwerful determiner f ur wn safety is n ne but urselves. When ur brains drive us t verd smething next time, just allw yurself nt t be perfect and relax fr a while.
8．What's the main reasn fr peple t verfunctin accrding t the text?
A．T shw ff their abilities.B．T gain mre recgnitin frm thers.
C．T establish psychlgical safety.D．T satisfy the requirement f wrk.
9．What des the underline wrd “alleviate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Ease.B．Return.C．Reprduce.D．Enhance.
10．What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A．Wrking hard t be the best always leads t high prductivity.
B．There is a psitive relatinship between perfectinism and perfrmance.
C．Peple with perfectinism are mre likely t succeed in their careers.
D．Struggling fr perfectin frequently desn't bring the best results.
11．What is the best title fr the text?
A．Try t Be the BestB．Care abut Yur Health
C．Break the Trap f OverfunctiningD．Overfunctin fr Yur Own Safety

The day befre we barded the ship SS Orin, Father waved a tearful gdbye t his five-year-ld red heeler (Australian cattle dg) , Spider, wh was lved by us all. Father's friend Sandy had been getting t knw Spider fr many weeks, as Sandy was t be his guardian while we were verseas. We didn't knw hw lng my mther's treatment wuld take r hw lng we wuld be away.
Six weeks later, a blue air letter arrived frm Sandy, giving my father the news that Spider had run away just tw weeks after we had sailed. I will always remember my father's face darkening and tears welling up as he read this news. My mther and I tried t cmfrt and relieve him, knwing in ur hearts hw useless this was. Our excitement at finally arriving in England quickly faded away.
Sandy had advertised cnstantly n ABC radi and ther reginal newspapers. Despite many “sightings”, the dg was never fund. It seemed Spider just kept running and searching fr us.

We sailed back t Australia tw years later. My father immediately began his wn search fr Spider. He received a large number f incming calls by the peple wh had said they had seen his dg. Many false calls and sightings meant that a huge clud f disappintment hung ver ur husehld. My mther was fed up with all this and impatient fr my father t accept the fact.
