26、The American Bystander

On a humid subway ride into work a few days ago, a woman on the other end of my car had a seizure (病情突然发作). All of a sudden, I heard her let out a painful sigh as she collapsed. For several minutes, the train continued down the track, and everyone in the car just stared at the woman. Finally, at the next stop a man informed the operator of what had happened and called 911. Luckily the woman came to herself as the EMTs carried her off the train. Ever since, I’ve been puzzled by the same question — why didn’t anyone do anything? And more importantly, why didn’t I do anything?

We’ve learned about the commonly referenced bystander effect—a psychological phenomenon in which individuals will avoid offering help to a person in need when other people are present. The bystander effect is attributed to two different psychological processes: social influence—individuals in a group will monitor and imitate other group members’ behavior—and shift of responsibility—individuals will cease to help because they believe that someone else will.

Even though most people probably haven’t witnessed a woman having a seizure on the subway, I’m sure if asked, anyone could think of a time when they could have helped and simply didn’t. In fact, I know that we have all experienced the bystander effect, because I believe it is one of American society’s most common headaches.

Anyone who follows the news can tell you that most of what we hear or read about these days is another death or another hate crime committed right in our own country. Consider the most recent theatre shooting in Nashville. The headlines read Another Theatre Shooting, Gunman is dead. When we read that headline or heard it on the news, most of us just acknowledged how sad it was, then told ourselves that there is nothing we can do to help and assumed that someone else would.

If America is just one large group of witnesses, all while telling ourselves that someone else most certainly will step in, how can we hope to shake the hold of this social psychological spell? The solution lies solely within us, to know the difference between doing what is justifiable and doing what is right, helping those in need when we have the means and opportunity to do so.

I want to be like the man on the subway who told the operator about the woman’s seizure, because as soon as he did, people followed suit and offered help. We have the power to choose whether to justify passivity or actively decide to do the right thing, and as a society I believe we ought to break free from our psychological tendency to just stand by.

【1】What was the most passengers’ attitude towards the woman’s seizure?

A. Indifferent.   B. Skeptical.

C. Enthusiastic.   D. Concerned.

【2】The psychological explanation for the fact that most people hesitate to help is that ________.

A. they need heroes or good examples to learn from

B. they believe such cases are none of their business

C. they fear that their behavior will be imitated by others

D. they count on other group members to give a helping hand

【3】What can we learn from the theatre shooting in Nashville?

A. The mass media are only too concerned about crimes and deaths.

B. The majority of the US citizens are suffering from crimes.

C. People get too accustomed to pay adequate attention to crimes.

D. Media coverage is inconsistent with what the Americans assume.

【4】As far as the author is concerned, the key to solving such an effect lies in ________.

A. the necessary means and opportunity to help others

B. the essential power to display psychological tendency

C. the acute awareness of making a right choice

D. the determined effort to help whoever is in need of help

27、You have probably heard the saying,"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Since lemons are considered bitter and lemonade is considered sweet, the saying tells you to make the best out of a bad Situation.

Unfortunately, when something bad happens, it's not uncommon for most people to talk about it to anyone who'll listen, and complain about life, "Why me?" That's like getting a bag of lemons, putting them down, and thinking, "Lemons taste bad! I'd rather have chocolate!" If you don't make anything with the lemons, they will go bad. But what if you did something with them? What if you made lemonade? Isn't it possible to do something similar with a bad situation?

Here's an example. Let's say you're about to go to the movies, but you discover you have a flat tire (瘪胎). You consider this a terrible thing. After all, you are really looking forward to spending some time with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Now you're all stressed out, hating the tire, the car, and your life. But what if you called AAA, got your tire fixed or got caught up on things that you'd been meaning to do? What if you did some reading, or had coffee with a friend instead? A negative experience can be turned into something positive. Almost anything can work itself out into something better. You can't change what has happened, right? So make the best of it. I'm not saying it will be easy. The easy thing to do is complain about your bad situation and not consider what it could be turned into.

Next time when some unfortunate things happen, stop and think, "How can I turn this around? How can I make it a positive experience? You needn't fear difficulties. As long as you keep on changing it, you will see the benefits (好处) at last.

【1】What do we know about the saying in paragraph 1?

A．It is encouraging.

B．It is funny.

C．It is easy to do.

D．It is negative.

【2】What do most people usually do when something bad happens?

A．Accept it.

B．Find out the reasons.

C．Complain about it.

D．Ask others for help.

【3】The author uses the example of seeing a movie to tell us_______.

A．a flat tire happens sometimes

B．it doesn't matter to make mistakes

C．meeting film stars is a very exciting thing

D．how to turn something bad into something good

【4】According to the author, what is the best way to deal with a bad situation?

A．Trying hard to solve it.

B．Laughing your way through it.

C．Thinking more about its benefits.

D．Turning it into a positive experience actively.

28、Problems between parents and children are common and timeless. If you are looking to improve your relationship with your parents, you are not alone. There are a number of steps that can be taken to make that happen.

【1】

This is not to say that you should not care for and love your parents. But, if you are less emotionally attached to your parents, you may be less invested in arguments or disagreements with them. This way you can walk away from a situation more easily and not let it damage the relationship.

Take their perspective.

【2】So once you can understand their position and see the reasons behind it, you will likely be more willing to take their perspective and improve the relationship. Accept that your parents are different. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.

Develop your own identity.

It is OK and even healthy for you to think for yourself and to have your own opinion on matters. 【3】Moreover, in gaining a new sense of independence and separation from your parents, you may find that your relationship improves organically.

Don’t ask for their advice unless you really want it.

Sometimes problems arise between parents and children, particularly at the teenage years and beyond, because parents try to give advice in an overpowering way that makes the kids feeling uncomfortable. 【4】 However, if you are just feeling lazy to think about things on your own, you can also ask your parents.

Establish boundaries and make rules.

If you want to maintain a positive relationship with parents, but find that you always end up disagreeing, consider setting up some topics as off-limits. This may work better if you are older or no longer live with your parents. 【5】

A．In this way, you gain your own identity.

B．Separate from your parents emotionally.

C．Parents’ opinions on your issues are constructive.

D．Construct strong emotional attachment with your parents.

E．Also try creating rules that both you and your parents agree to abide by (遵守).

F．Often, kids and parents do not get along because they fail to consider each other’s perspectives.

G．To get around this, try only asking for their advice when you are sure that you really want their view.

29、Loneliness in modern culture is so common that many refer to it as an “pidemic”. A related phenomenon is what’s known on social media as FOMO, or the “fear of missing out”. To feel FOMO means to be anxious that there is something going on somewhere that you should be showing up for.

But FOMO doesn’t necessarily motivate us to fight with loneliness in a healthy way. What would it look like to step away from the pursuit of fullness and toward the simple pleasures that mean the most to you? I recently encountered the phrase JOMO, or the “joy of missing out”.

The artist Michael Leunig wrote a short poem, titled Joy of Missing Out, about the emotional intelligence we display when we are content with where we are and what we are doing in any given moment. Competition and anxiety slip away in his vision of an accessible and positive attitude.

Practicing JOMO means turning away from material possessions, shallow relationships, and gossip news in favor of meaningful human interaction, satisfying home and enough time for leisure. I struggle with this sometimes, and you might too. I like being able to say “yes” to opportunities to be with people, try new things and maintain long-distance friendships over social media. But sometimes I’m learning that doing those things means I’m saying “no” to myself, passing up opportunities to plant some seeds in my garden, read another chapter in a good novel or have a long walk-and-talk with a friend.

The truth is, everyone “misses out” on some things. Whether we experience those moments fearfully or joyfully is our choice, but a positive view would certainly lean toward the latter. Is JOMO a helpful way for you to think about how you spend your time and energy?

【1】Why is FOMO mentioned in the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the topic of JOMO.

B．To explain the meaning of FOMO.

C．To make a comparison with loneliness.

D．To describe a common cultural phenomenon.

【2】People experience FOMO because ______.

A．they fight with loneliness

B．they want to live a healthy life

C．they don’t want to miss out on things

D．they pursue simple pleasures in life

【3】Which is involved in practicing JOMO according to the author?

① listening to gossip news     ②reading good novels

③ having family time for leisure ④maintaining online friendships

⑤ walking and talking with friends

A．①③④

B．①②⑤

C．②③④

D．②③⑤

【4】In which section of a newspaper can you read the text?

A．News.

B．Science.

C．Lifestyle.

D．Entertainment.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

As dusk falls at the Lehua Night Market, the fluorescent (荧光的) lights flicker on and the hungry customers start trickling in, anxious for a taste of the local delicacies that give this island its reputation as one of Asia’s finest cookery 【1】 .

Nearly arranged pyramids of plump fish balls, bowls filled with tapioca balls 【2】  in lightly sweetened sauce, sizzling oyster omelets, hot off the griddle, deep-fried sweet potato puffs (冒热气), still 【3】 with oil. Take a bite of any of these dishes and you’ll discover a unique texture. But how exactly do you 【4】 that perfect “mouth feel” so sought after by local cooks and eaters alike? Slippery? Chewy? Not exactly.

Luckily, the people in Taiwan have a word for this texture. Well, actually, it’s not a word, it’s a letter—one that even non-Chinese speakers can pronounce.

It’s “Q.” Basically, it means springy, soft, elastic.

Andre Chiang, a Michelin-star chef and owner of RAW in Taipei, said he has been 【5】 with the texture at his restaurant, which uses only local materials. “It’s like aldente (筋道) but not quite,” Mr. Chiang said.

Q is so well 【6】 in Taiwan that many in Hong Kong and across the Taiwan Strait in mainland China use the term as well.

There are many other uses for the term Q in Chinese as well. It could be used, for example, as short form for the English word “【7】”, or to refer to the once-popular QQ messaging service from Tencent.

Among the local people, the 【8】 for Q texture starts at a young age. On a recent sticky evening at the Lehua Night Market, a group of people gathered at stand with a sign that 【9】 “QQ ice lolly.” Asked why Q texture was so 【10】 to Taiwanese, Lu Wei-chen, the owner of the stand, smiled as she handed a bright red jelly bar to a delighted toddler.

“It’s simple,” she said. “When you eat it, you will be in a good mood.”
