When Chandra went into Books‘n’More, she noticed that there was no one else in the bookstore. The last four
or five times she had stopped in here, she had also been the only customer.
That night, Chandra told her family about the situation at the bookstore. Her brother Pete said, “The bookstore
needs more people. How about starting a book club? People could meet in the store to discuss a book they’ve all
read. If they buy it at the store, they’ll receive a discount (折扣).”
“That’s great!”Chandra said excitedly. “How about having some writers come and do a book signing? I even
have an idea for the first writer. Mr. Fletcher, my math teacher, writes children’s books. I’m sure he would be willing to
help. I could put up fliers (传单) about the event at my school.”
The next day, Chandra shared her thoughts with Mrs. Lee, the bookstore owner. Mrs. Lee seemed unsure at
first, but by the time Chandra finished, she was smiling. “I’ll try your ideas, but I need some help. Someone will
have to lead the book club discussions. Also, I’ll need help advertising these events because I’ve never been good at
such things.”

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Chandra promised that she would help. She asked Mr. Fletcher if he would read and sign some of his books at
Books‘n’More, and he happily agreed. A date was chosen, and Chandra threw herself into the preparations. She
personally invited all her friends, the other teachers, and even the school headmaster.
Finally, everything was ready for the big night. Mrs. Lee opened the event. “Before I introduce tonight’s
writer, I must thank a young lady named Chandra Phillips. This exciting evening was mostly managed by her. If
she were a little older, I would have her as my advertising director,” said Mrs. Lee. The crowd laughed and
clapped (鼓掌). As Mr. Fletcher began to read from his latest book, Mrs. Lee took a seat next to Chandra.
“Could I really work here someday?” Chandra asked. Mrs. Lee nodded with a smile. Chandra tried to listen
to Mr. Fletcher, but her mind swam with even more ways to help Books ‘n’ More be successful. After all, she had
to protect her future job!

Why do people fall for bad information? Scientists are trying to find that out. They are also trying to find out
what we can do about it.
People on social media sometimes share questionable claims (言论). Maybe they think the claim is surprising
or interesting. But how the claim is presented can influence how many people believe it.
People are likely to think that video is the most believable, noted S. Shyam Sundar. He works at Pennsylvania
State University. Sundar and his team showed fake (假的) news stories to 180 people. One fake story claimed
第5页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司plastic was used to make rice. One version (版本) of the rice story was sent as text only. One version was a sound
recording. The third had a video. It showed a man feeding plastic sheets into a machine. The tested people graded
the video story as the most believable.
“Seeing is believing. People are more likely to accept misinformation when they see something in a video,”
Sundar said. That’s especially true with the rise of deepfake technologies, which create fake but visually (视觉上)
believable videos.
Another big problem with fake news is how easily it gets into our brains. We often find claims believable that
go along with the values we hold. Some people are unlikely to question things that fit with what they already
believe. Why? Because our values can influence how we process information.
So how can we slow the spread of fake news? It might just require getting people to stop and think. Two
scientists, Gordon Pennycook and David Rand, worked together on a study. They showed both real news headlines
and fake ones to 3,500 people. They tested these people’s analytical reasoning (分析推理). People who scored
higher on the analytical tests were less likely to mistake fake news headlines as being correct. In other words, lazy
thinking helps drive someone’s acceptance of fake news.
When we recognize something untrue, we should debunk (揭穿) it. Researchers have some tips:
·Check the information from trustworthy sources (来源). Look at different sources to see if they agree.
·Once you correct misinformation with a true fact, explain why the misinformation is wrong.
·Speak up as soon as possible when you see misinformation being shared on social media.
Not paying attention can help fake news spread. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution—stop shutting off our
brains so much. By thinking carefully and sharing real information, we can help everyone stay informed with facts.
27. The purpose of Sundar and his team’s study is to find out ________.
A. what ways can be used to spread news
B. how fake news spreads through different media
C. what kind of people are likely to believe fake news
D. how the presentation of news influences its believability
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People are likely to believe information that matches their values.
B. Debanking bad information depends heavily on technology.
C. The brain has a weak ability to recognize misinformation.
D. Lazy thinkers often slow down the spread of fake news.
29. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The causes of fake news and its bad influences.

We live in a society that judges our happiness by how much we have achieved and how successful we are. We
are often told, “Work hard, become successful, and then you`ll be happy.” Is it true?
Can Success Bring Happiness?
Happiness helps you get success; it’s not the other way around. Studies show happier people are more likely to
be successful, but successful people are predictably not more cheerful. When you are happier, you feel more
hopeful, thankful, and strong-minded, which are important for success. As a result, you have a better chance of
getting better jobs and even building stronger relationships.
Success can cause a short-term increase in happiness, but it cannot guarantee a lasting one. Shortly after
achieving success, you return to your usual level of happiness. Moreover, depending on success for happiness often
adds pressure, stress and negativity to every part of our lives. In conclusion, chasing (追求) happiness and well-
being is better than running after success.
___△___
Positive psychology says that happiness is both how good we feel in the present moment and how good we
feel when we look at our lived lives. Trying to lead a happy life is not always about refusing our negative emotions
or acting as if we feel happy all the time. We all experience difficult periods, and it’s natural for us to feel sad,
angry, and other negative emotions. Happiness is about being able to embrace (接受) the good times, but it’s also
about dealing with the unavoidable bad times.
Is Happiness Being Satisfied With What You Have?
Does the thought of “not having enough” trouble you all the time? Are you always chasing something bigger
and better? At the end of the day, that kind of chase can undoubtedly leave anyone empty and tired. And in that
process, you are missing out on getting happiness from plenty of things you have right now. Instead of focusing on
getting more, you need to focus on all you have in your life at the present moment. When you start sharing what
you have, you find your happiness continuously increasing.
Sure, you can work hard for success. But success won’t necessarily lead to happiness. True happiness is in the
climb itself. So, focus on being happy right now. Be proud of where you are in life and who you are. Be happy first,
and embrace the journey to success. Then you’ll be able to achieve more and perform better in many areas of your
life, and you’ll also enjoy the journey to your goals.

Feeling joy is good for you, not just because you’re happy in the moment. It can be saved and used again.
When you feel joyful, you’re in a positive mood (情绪), which helps you deal with challenges and solve
problems. Suzy Reading, a psychologist, says experiencing joy benefits your health. It protects you from illness,
and reduces pain, worry and stress. Joy spreads quickly, benefiting not only you but also those around you.
Suzy Reading says your joy journal can help you remember happier times when you are feeling a bit sad,
lonely, and worried. Turning the pages can help those same feelings of joy flood back, making you feel better. It
can remind you that this moment will pass and joy will come again soon.
How do you keep a joy journal? Choose a notebook and decorate (装饰) the cover. It is up to you how often
you add to it—perhaps every day after school or only at weekends. You can keep all your joyful things together or
divide your journal into areas such as family, friends, school, and hobbies. To best express yourself, you can write,
第8页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司draw, use colorful pens, and stick things in. In your joy journal, you can write lists of your favorite things: your
favorite foods, TV shows, or animals, and what you like about them. You can record a moment from each day that
gave you joy: who was there, what happened, and what you could see, hear, and smell. This will help you feel the
joy again and remember it more easily. You could also make a joy journal with your family to record what makes
you all happy.
Perhaps you are too busy to keep a joy journal every day, or you have other ways to treasure your happy
moments, such as social media posts and video diaries. These are really good ways, but if possible, try writing
down the things that bring a smile to your face in your joy journal.
