I carried the flame in 1984 in the Torch Relay as it made its way across the country to the
Olympics in Los Angeles. I wasn’t an Olympic athlete. My dad did some voluntary work for the
Olympics that year, for which I was able to carry the flame. Still it makes me realize that all sorts of
honors can comeour way unexpectedly.
On one May night, the flame had just begun its journey acrossAmerica, covering around 15,000
kilometers. It inched its way along the coast from New York, each runner carrying it for a kilometer.
Some of the runners were famous and admired. Others were common people like me and supporters
oftheevent.
I had already been sent a uniform and the official torch. I held it as I stood waiting in the dusk
for the flame to arrive. Part of me wondered if it would even arrive. Would they ever find enough
runners tocover that ambitiousdistance?
All at once it happened.Arunner appeared and lit my torch. I was sent on my way. People lined
the road, clapping and shouting as I passed, not for me, but for what I represented: the free
expression of athletic skills and the celebration of talent, devotion, and discipline. Soon I passed the
flame on to the next runner. I think we all have these opportunities to carry the torch of our faith and
2our values, because we can all be the light of this world. We might wonder if what we have to do or
say or show will even matter. But we should step out, lit by our faith and values, and meet people
waiting forus all along.
4.What canwe infer from thefirst two paragraphs?

While Disney animations are successful in moving their audiences, their subsidiary（子公司）
Pixarisexpert at creating tear-jerking movies as well.
At first sight, it is remarkable that these movies make us cry—the main characters are cartoon
characters, in most cases not even human beings, who do things that could evidently never happen in
the real world: toys come to life, monsters are to scare sleeping children, and
helium-balloon-powered houses travel the world. How can a story so unrealistic make us care so
much about theiranimated main characters?
The Pixar creators explained that their stories often reflect their own personal lives. Whereas the
animated characters are far from real, their lives are relatable. The magical ingredient is the realistic
portrayal ofthecomplex emotional lives ofthe characters.
As Pixar director Pete Doctor explains: “What you’re trying to do, when you tell a story, is to
write about an event in your life that made you feel a particular way.And what you’re trying to do,
3when you tell a story, is to get the audience to have that same feeling. While this is true for
storytelling in general, it is especially important in Pixar movies, given that the basic plots of their
movies cannot happen in real life.”
What makes Pixar’s highly unrealistic stories believable is the fact that they address problems
that are central to our own lives. Pixar addresses real human matters such as family,friendship, death,
loss,and thehighly realisticemotions that such events evokein ourlife.
The effect of the story thus depends on the human capacity to empathize with others: to
recognize which emotions others experience, and to understand why others feel how they feel. The
fact that empathy is learned and developed through life may well be the reason why these movies are
entertainingfor kids butrather devastating and heart-crushing foradults.
Every Pixar movie has the moment when we cry. We learn and feel with the characters through
the realistic portrayal of their emotional lives. The stories appeal to our deepest emotions and, thus,
makeus cry.Because, essentially,Pixarstories are about us.
8.Which real issuemay notbe dealt with in Pixar’s movies?
A. Familyconflicts. B. Romanticlove.
C.Apolitical issue. D.The betrayal ofa friend.
9.What canbeinferred from the passage?
A.The Pixar’s movies are not only entertaining for kids butalso heart-breaking for adults.
B. Pixarcan create touching movies because of thesupport from Disney.
C. Both therealisticemotionsand real human matters are shown vividly inPixar’s tear-jerking
movies.
D. Peoplecan find empathy more easily in animation movies thanin anyothermovies.
10.Thekey reason forthesuccess of Pixar’s movies lies in_________.
A. empathy of theaudience
B. thedelicate filmdesign
C. theadorable cartoon characters
D. good tasteof theaudience
11.What’sthe best titleof thepassage?
A. Howto Make UnrealisticStoriesBelievable?
B. HowDoDisney PixarMovies Make Us Cry?
4C.WhyAreHuman EasilyAttracted byMovies?
D.What Makes Disney PixarMovies Successful?
D
Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close
to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala
(大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in
people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of
nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually
caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban
regions,” says SonjaSudimac.
To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions
involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald
forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala
decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions
related to stress.
“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain
health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the
urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a
commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kühn, head of
thegroup.
The authors show that nature has a positiveimpact onbrain regions involved in stress processing
and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of
how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature
decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure
against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of
thecity onthebrain.
In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the
researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban
environments impacts stress in mothers and theirbabies.
12.What does thehen-and-egg problem mean bySonjaSudimac?
5A. Living inrural areas actually affects brain activity.
B. Peopleincities tend tohave ahigher risk ofmental problems.
C. It’s unnecessary to work out thecomplex issueof stress and health.
D. It’s hard to clarify theimpact of livingenvironment onmental health.
13.Howdid researchers collect evidence for thestudy?
A. By quotingauthoritative experts.
B. Byinterviewing healthy volunteers.
C. Byresearching onaprevious theory.
D. By comparing volunteers’amygdalaactivities.
14.What contributiondid SimoneKühnandhis team mainly make?
A. Confirming theassumptionof nature’s benefits tobrain health.
B. Supportingacommonly held view ofurban exposure.
C. Revealing thelink between age and mental health.
D. Identifying thecauses ofmental health problems.
15.What does thelast paragraph mainlytalk about?
A. Benefits of aregular walk innature.
B.Thefocus ofthefollow-up research.
C.Anappeal for livingin urban regions.
D. Nature’s positiveeffects onwomen and children.

One particular Thanksgiving, the weather was so beautiful that Mom decided to have dinner on

place settings and madethe centerpiece —myfavorite job of theyear.
My aunt arrived with Uncle Gordon. I watched him walk from the street up the lawn, tall with
his blond hair shining in the sun.Another car had pulled up behind them, and Uncle Gordon waited
for a slim man to join him.As they walked, he and Gordon chatted. Mom came out of the house and
greeted my aunt.Then, with a surprised look, shesaid helloto Gordon and his friend.
“Who’s this?”

“Oh,” Mom said uncertainly. “Well, welcome. Leslie, get another place setting and a chair.” She
turned to the stranger. “Please have a seat. We’re going to eat in about half an hour. ”I thought the
man looked a little funny, but he smiled. “Why, thanks. Thanks a lot.” I did as Mom asked and set a
place at the table for the stranger. I put him next to Uncle Gordon so the two friends could recall
home.And they did alot oftalking.
After dinner, the man approached my mother with a smile. “Thank you for including me in your
