When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible.
Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older,
this changed.

All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us
kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and
learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I
going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?

With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let
them go. This
was the first big change I'd ever made on my own.

I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help.
We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of
my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.

I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started
to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed
mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long
for me to even try!


My
confidence
soared.
This
was
going
to
be
the
start
of
a
brand
new
world
for
me.
My
accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to
something, I could achieve it.

FaceApp has taken the world by storm, giving users the chance to see themselves age through
its
algorithm.
12.7
million
people
—
some
three
million
more
than
the
population
of
New
York
City
—
reportedly downloaded it in one seven-day period last month.

Although the Russian app has become known for its privacy issues, the more interesting lesson
of our FaceApp fling (
尽情玩乐
)is what it tells us about our society
—
and our future lives. It turns
out we are more interested in aging than we realized. I'm surprised by this. Most younger people
are in denial (
否认
)about old age, doing almost nothing to prepare for it. We rarely have a chance
to
plan
for
the
future,
with
increasing
time
and
financial
pressures.
Those
pressures
bring
sacrifices that we may not always want to make: we can no longer afford to spend the time or the
money needed to look after our elderly parents.

As a family doctor, I can see the loneliness epidemic developing. Elderly patients come to see
me with no particular illness, no clear medical issue. After a few minutes of the consultation, I
understand
why:
they're
not
sick,
and
often
they
don't
feel
sick.
They
just
need
someone
—
anyone-to talk to.


Although
loneliness
has
no
medical
classification,
the
health
effects
are
real:
the
result
of
loneliness and isolation can be as harmful to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is
more damaging than obesity. But loneliness does not come with nearly enough health warnings.

So what next? Since 1980, we are living on average 10 years longer. At the same time, people
are having fewer and fewer children, and they are having them much later in life. The snake of a
world class health service is eating its own tail; its care is prolonging (
延长
) people's lives, but as
the ratio of pensioners(
退休人员
)to working -age people increases, there are fewer taxpayers to
fund that very health service.

Into this void have stepped NGOs, charities and volunteers. But in the long term, the only way
to
truly
help
the
oldest
meters
of
our
society
is
to
go
back
to
the
traditional
values
of
intergenerational(
两代间的
)
cooperation
—
often
under
same
roof.
Ultimately,
we
will
need
to
evolve towards a culture where elderly care is treated the same as childcare, where employers
recognize
the
duty
of
someone
with
an
elderly
parent
the
same
way
they
recognize
those
of
someone with a newborn child.

（

The example of FaceApp is used to _____.

A. prove the popularity of it
B. explain the function of it

C. show the progress of technology
D. introduce the topic of aging and loneliness

（

What makes elderly people without illness go to see their family doctors?

A. Desire to have the consultation.
B. Strong feeling of loneliness.

C. Unclear medical issues. D. Questions to ask doctors.

（

How can the oldest members be truly helped?

A. By being treated as children.
B. By going back to the traditional society.

C. By providing family care. D. By living with other elderly people under the same roof.

（

）
What can we learn from the passage?

A. The loneliness of elderly people needs more attention.

B. FaceApp's popularity proves it has no security problems.

C. Health service lacks fund because of prolonged peopled lives.

Since
we've
headed
into
the
snowy
part
of
the
year,
it
seems
like
a
good
time
to
solve
a
language puzzle that Eskimos have a huge number of words for snow. The idea was popularized
by the now well-known expert Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s. His number was approximately
five Eskimo words for snow, but somehow the story was so wide spread and romantic that it got
out of control and grew bigger and bigger.

There are two problems with the concept of Eskimos having tons of words for snow.

First, Eskimos speak at least two different languages
—
Inuit and Yupik. Just as we have talked
about how English and many other languages developed from a common language called Proto-
Indo-European, Inuit and Yupik come from a different common language called Eskimo-Aleut. So
saying
Eskimos
have
100
words
for
snow
is
like
saying
Europeans
have 100 words
for
kings
or
queens. It might be telling you something broad about culture, but it isn't really telling you much
about language.


The
second
problem
is

is
a
word?”
T
he
Inuit
and
Yupik
languages
make
words
in
different
ways
from
how
we
make
words
in
English.
For
example,
the
West
Greenlandic
word
'siku,'
(sea
ice),
is
used
as
the
root
for
'sikursuit
(pack
ice),
'Sikuliaq
(new
ice),
and
'sikurluk
(melting
ice). But
it's
not
that
West Greenlandic
has
so
many
more
words
for
describing
snow
than
English,
it's
just
that
West
Greenlandic
expresses
ideas
by
combining
meaningful
units
of
language together into one word while English uses more phrases and compounds. We express
all the same ideas; we just do it a little differently because of the way our language is built.

So you're probably still wondering,
Woodbury
lists
15
that
are
present
in
a
Yupik
dictionary
published
in
1984,
but
he
says
that
depending on how you look at it this is not an exact number. It could be 12; it could be 24. But it's
certainly not 100.

Sometimes, the
so many words for snow, they think about snow in ways that we can't even begin to imagine
—
that
your
language
decides
or
limits
your
thoughts.
Languages
are
just
different.
They
don't
decide what we are able to think about or are not able to think about. I can think about snow
floating on water even if we don't have a word for that in English.

So when you're out skiing or snowboarding or just shoveling your driveway this winter, don't
believe the people who try to tell you that Eskimos have 100 words for snow.

（
1
）
Why are Eskimos thought to have so many words for snow?

A. Because snow is everywhere where Eskimos live.

B. Because the story about it got enriched and believed.

C. Because snow is of great importance to Eskimos.

D. Because Eskimos have great affection for snow.

（
2
）
How does the writer explain the first problem?

A. By presenting figures.
B. By making comparisons.

C. By quoting sayings. D. By adopting idioms.

（
3
）
The example of the west Greenlandic word 'siku' shows that .

A. the making of words varies from language to language

B. the Inuit and Yupik languages have more words for snow

C. the richness of words and phrases leads to different ideas

D. more phrases about snow are found in the English language

（
4
）
What conclusion can we safely draw from the last two paragraphs?

A. Eskimos better understand snow than other people.

B. Languages deeply influence people's ability to think.

C. There is no point counting Eskimo's expressions for snow.

D. What comes into our mind is limited by our language.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了爱斯基摩人描述雪的词语虽然多但并非 传言
中的
100
多个。出现这一想象的原因是
1.
爱斯基摩人本身就说两种语言，不同的语言就会
有不同的描述。
2.
词汇方面的融合也使得他们有很多能描述雪的词语。

but
somehow
the

可知，本身
Benjamin
Lee
Whor f
对于雪的词汇可能就只有
5
个，但
是故事不断的传播，甚至带着浪漫主义气 息，使得故事传播的越来越广泛，故事内容也越

。

“Just

has become increasingly popular. In fact, many people who experience a low mood
and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition in this way. And these people
might be particularly easy to suicide.


While
smiling
depression
is
not
a
technical
term
that
psychologists
use
，
it
is
certain
to
be
depressed
and
manage
to
successfully
mask
the
symptoms.
The
closest
technical
term for
this
condition is
they
may
seem
like
they
don't
have
a reason
to
be
sad
—

they
have
a
job, an
apartment
and
maybe
even
children
or
a
partner.
They
smile
when
you
greet
them
and
can
carry
pleasant
conversations. In short, they often put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly
normal
and
active
lives.
Inside,
however,
they
often
feel
hopeless
and
down,
sometimes
even
having thoughts about ending it all.


People
with
smiling
depression
put
on
a
happy
face
to
the
outside
world,
but
they
can
experience a lift in their mood as a result of positive occurrences in their lives. Other symptoms
of this condition include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs and being
easily hurt by criticism or rejection. They are also more likely to feel depressed in the evening and
feel the need to sleep longer than usual. With other forms of depression, however, your mood
might be worse in the morning and you might feel the need for less sleep than you are normally
used to.


So
how
can
they
break
this
circle?
A
starting
point
needs
to
be
known
that
this
condition
actually exists and that it's serious. Only when we stop ignoring our problems because we think
they're not serious enough can we start making an actual difference. Then we can find purpose
by taking the attention away from ourselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that our
lives
matter
is
finally
what
gives
us
purpose
and
meaning
—

and
this
can
make
a
significant
difference for our mental health and well-being.

Empathy (
同理心
)is one of those strange qualities
—
something almost everyone wants, but few
know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short
supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means
to have empathy for those around them.

What Is Empathy?
—
Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct
values.
Empathy
is
not
just
the
ability
to
understand
someone's
feelings;
criminals
often
take
advantage
of
people
by
appearing
to
understand
their
feelings
and
subsequently
gaining
their
trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it
also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness,
dignity, and understanding.

Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy
—
While some children are gifted with naturally kind
hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins
with
the
way
parents
relate
to
their
children.
Parents
who
show
an
interest
in
the
things
that
matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of
empathy.

Meet Emotional Needs
—
When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen.
They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are
receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first
they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.

It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give
their
emotions
names
(for
example,
jealousy,
anger,
and
love)
and
teach
them
that
these
are
normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations
where
other
people
are experiencing
emotions.
Teach
them
about
respecting
the
emotions
of
others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.

（
1
）
Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?

A. Because people tend to center themselves. B. Because everyone lacks empathy.

C. Because empathy is a strange quality. D. Because it's better to give than to receive.

（
2
）
Which situation can empathy be used in?

a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.

a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.

a criminal is cheating a victim.

a dancer is dancing to music.

（
3
）
What does the underlined sentence

empty jug is too small to hold a cup.

's a must to talk to kids about emotions.

give empathy with their emotional needs met first.

（

）
What is the main topic of the passage?
