mysterious doings of his late wife，Minnie.There were stories of someone who had got into
trouble a proper amount of money would cure ， and each ended on the same strangenote：“Minnie is in hock again.”
I tried to talk with locals to solve the mystery.But at a newcomer’s spying curiosity，the
villagers always avoided the issue with New England reservation.It left me completely in the dark.
Soon I began having troubles of my own.My daughter had an expensive operation，but the
money I had counted on didn’t come in.
One day Garrett came to fix my sink，which never worked properly.Working silently for a
while，he looked at me and said，“Understand you’ve been having a little trouble.” I was
feeling bitter，but still talked it out.“Then it’s time you met Minnie，” he said decisively.
I felt a bit scared and was prepared for anything，but all that happened was that he took out a

“All you do is take Minnie to the bank and put her up for loan for any amount up to $
1,000.You pay the bank their regular rate of interest，and then Minnie comes back to me.” He
continued.“Minnie loved this village，and she wanted to keep on helping people after she was
gone.”
I began to understand why the town folk had been so secretive.They didn’t know whether I

(2022·河南六市三模)
It’s called the Bank of Happiness，but it has nothing to do with money.Founded a year ago
in Estonia’s capital Tallinn，it’s a forum in which more than 2,000 members from Estonia and
other countries connect to offer or receive services free of charge.
The site carries more than 500 ads in English，German and Estonian from people offering or
seeking all kinds of things，including teaching and tips on cooking.The website is also translated
into French and Spanish.
Founder Airi Kivi says the goal is to make people think and act with their hearts.“After the
worldwide outbreak of the pandemic，I thought，’Wow，our bank is perfect for the crisis and a
lot of people are unemployed and they can use it to harvest what they need.’”
So how does it work? It’s simple：You sign up using your real name and post what you are
offering or what your need is，as long as it doesn’t involve money or products.
Masseuse Terge Reintem says she signed up when she was unemployed because she needed to
improve her skills by learning from others.But she stayed on even after finding a new job because
she says it feels good to volunteer.“If I discover a new technique，I want my bank customers to
first experience it，” Reintem says，adding they are often nicer than the paying ones.
Member Veronika Davel says she infringed the rules with her first request when she asked for
a product：a computer.But she did it unknowingly.Later，she began offering services of her own
on the bank’ s website.“The main thing I really could offer was English ， ” Davel
explains.“There was a young girl who needed to have better English for her job and I gave her a
hand.”
The site has many more offers of help than requests for it.That’s as it should be，Kivi
says，adding that the bigger reward comes from giving.

The time a person spends on different smartphone apps is enough to identify them from a
larger group in more than one in three cases，say researchers.
Researchers analyzed smartphone data from 780 people.They fed 4,680 days of app usage data
into statistical models.Each of these days was paired with one of the 780 users so that the models
learned people’s daily app use patterns.
The researchers then tested whether models could identify an individual when provided with
only a single day of smartphone activity that was anonymous(匿名的)．The models，which were
trained on only six days of app usage data per person，could identify the correct person from a day
of anonymous data one third of the time.
That might not sound like much，but when the models predict who the data belonged to，it
could also provide a list of the most to the least likely candidates.It was possible to view the top 10
most likely individuals that a specific day of data belonged to.Around 75% of the time，the correct
user would be among the top 10 most likely candidates.
In practical terms，a law enforcement(执法机构) investigation seeking to identify a
criminal’s new phone with these models could reduce a candidate pool of approximately 1,000
phones to 10 phones，with a 25% risk of missing them.
Consequently，the researchers warn that software given access to a smartphone’s standard
activity logging could make a reasonable prediction about a user’s identity even when they were
logged-out of their account.An identification is possible without monitoring conversations or
behaviors within apps themselves.
Therefore，it is important to acknowledge that app usage data alone，which is often collected
by a smartphone automatically，can potentially reveal a person’s identity.While providing new
opportunities for law enforcement，it also poses risks to privacy if this type of data is misused.
12．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To explain a phenomenon.
B．To confirm an assumption.
C．To show a research process.
D．To present a research finding.13．How did the researchers reach their conclusion?
A．By recording app use time.
B．By studying app usage data.
C．By comparing different apps.
D．By changing app use patterns.
14．What is the function of the statistical models?
A．Locating criminals.
B．Tracking usage of apps.
C．Identifying phone users.
D．Predicting trends of apps.
15．What is the author’s attitude towards app usage data?
A．Cautious. B．Favorable.
C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.

vocabulary and thinking skills. 1

help you in several ways.You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first
viewing，make clearer any dialogue you do not understand，and connect the sound of words with

phone.
