Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about
their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that
provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern
Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign.
However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended $15,041 charge.
When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense.
Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began
typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that,
he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s
Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he
looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name,
Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation.
Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500.
Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share
it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in
need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if
I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said.
Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up
raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few
weeks—about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than
3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震
惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine

{#{QQABYYSQggggApAAAAhCEQVKCgKQkAGAAYgOgFAEMAAAwAFABAA=}#}
this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something
like this.”
24．How did Michael make the large donation
A．He entered wrong credit card details. B．He encountered a system error.
C．He was greatly inspired by Dunan. D．He input an incorrect amount.
25．Why did Michael’s heart sink according to Paragraph 3
A．He saw people in despair. B．He didn’t receive the full refund.
C．He realized the scale of his mistake. D．He failed to offer enough money.
26．What motivated Michael to share the story on social media
A．Dunan’s request for publicity.
B．A desire for personal recognition.
C．Pressure from his family and friends.
D．The organization’s urgent need for funds
27．What message does the story convey
A．Many hands make light work. B．Always prepare for a rainy day.
C．Actions speak louder than words. D．A good beginning is half of victory.
C
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm.
However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail
to maximize collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process
called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going
on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group
without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only
after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most
promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and
expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get
attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped
underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold
brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate
individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This
specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners,
making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues
高二英语 第 5 页 共 12 页
{#{QQABYYSQggggApAAAAhCEQVKCgKQkAGAAYgOgFAEMAAAwAFABAA=}#}
helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence
is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to
become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that
all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal
isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there.
Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone.
That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more
terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and
bring out the best ideas.
28. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming
A. It prioritizes quality over quantity. B. It highlights independent work.
C. It encourages group cooperation. D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
29. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3
A. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
B. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
C. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
D. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
30. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4
A. By blocking the loudest voices. B. By improving individual wisdom.
C. By allowing equal involvement. D. By generating more creative ideas.
31. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. Individual writing. B. Group sharing.
C. Joint discussion. D. Personal evaluation.
D
As most Americans spend at least 50% of their food budget dining out, public
criticism falls on restaurants to help consumers make healthier food choices. The Menu
Labeling Final Rule has come into effect, requiring restaurants with more than 20
locations to show the calories of food on menus.
By representing these values in a discrepant way—using physically larger numbers
on the page for lower-calorie options, and smaller numbers for high-calorie foods—
businesses can shift customers’preferences toward healthier food, according to Ruiying
Cai from the Washington State University.
In their study, Cai and her colleagues asked participants to choose between a less
healthy item and a healthier option after randomly assigning them to two groups. In the
高二英语 第 6 页 共 12 页
{#{QQABYYSQggggApAAAAhCEQVKCgKQkAGAAYgOgFAEMAAAwAFABAA=}#}
first group, calorie counts and font (字体 ) sizes rose and fell together. In the second
group, the size became larger as the calorie count fell. Researchers also asked
participants questions to assess their health- consciousness.
Results showed participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts
printed in large sizes, were more likely to adopt the healthier option. Moreover, less
health- conscious participants were the most affected, while people with more health
awareness were less influenced since they already favored healthier food.
This research adjusted customer behaviors by creating a Stroop effect. Named after
psychologist J. Ridley Stroop, the Stroop effect refers to a delay in reaction to mismatch
in its classic form. For example, if the word “purple” is written in green, it takes
respondents longer time to identify the color than if the word and the color match.
Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its
number in this study.
“Restaurants are interested in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,”
Cai said. However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect.
“Healthy food items could be profitable for restaurants, but whenever a ‘healthy’ label is
attached, people may assume it does not taste good,” she explained. “We’re trying to
provide restaurants with indirect suggestions, rather than saying it out loud.”
32. What does the underlined word “discrepant” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Creative. B. Relative C. Misleading D. Conflicting.
33. Which of the following type of customers would benefit most from the
research
A. Strict diet followers. B. Convenience food fans
C. Homemade meal lovers. D. Health magazine readers.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The significance of research results.
B. The measurement of response delays.
C. The psychological basis of the study design.
D. The influential variations of the Stroop effect.
35. Which of the following might be Cai’s suggestion for restaurants
A. Pay more attention to the taste of the food.
B. Use font magic to drive healthier choices.
C. Create a quiet dining atmosphere for customers.
D. Attach “healthy” labels to the food on the menu.

We clearly live in an era with little patience. Entire TV series are available at once
on streaming services,and burning questions are solved in seconds via a search engine.
This instant satisfaction, undoubtedly, is killing our ability to wait. 36 . Here are
some strategies to pick up that magic mix if you weren't born with it.
● Visualize success
There's no need to set a real situation where you wait in a super long grocery
checkout line to test yourself. Simply visualizing it helps a lot. See yourself smiling and
breathing as you wait for the line to move. 37 . For example,you could say,“it's not
bad to enjoy this magazine while waiting". Your mind will start to process the picture as
a real experience and help to set you up for future successes.
● Slow down
38 . We get so caught up in hurrying that we get stuck in that mode .Most
adults do not feel happy when they're rushing, and children are even less capable of
doing it with a good attitude. Instead of sweating through your routine, turn on some
background music you like and move at a normal pace.
● 39
The ability to let your mind wander, whether daydreaming or actively applying
your imagination, is a skill that improves patience. You don't have to get the whole paper
clone in one go. 40 . This helps you build up your staying power, so next time you
might be more patient and more likely to focus on your task.
A. Learn to distract yourself
B. Add some positive words if possible
C. Therefore,we are getting more and more impatient
D. Racing around is not necessarily the only way to get what you want
E. But sometimes, we know a fast pace does improves our working efficiency
F. Thus, the loss of this mixed quality of tolerance and calmness is unavoidable
G.Take a break and do something that could free your brain from the work that takes
tons of energy.

AnA for Mrs. Bartlett
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett
announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a poster around what we were
studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group.
After collecting all the requests, Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would take into
consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I was
a well-rounded top student in the class, so I had no doubt I would get the group of my
choice. There were only a handful of sociably decent people in the class, and Missy was
one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously awaited the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped
talking as Mrs. Bartlett called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she
reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So I’m in group three, I thought. The
second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included.
There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “ Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina. ” I could feel the
tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group — the boy who barely spoke

English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles,
and the other girl who was often wearing very strange and unusual clothes with fancy
items. They certainly fell into the category of the least popular in our class. They were
considered misfits (不合群的人)!
There must be something wrong! Mrs. Bartlett was such a person of insight, vision
and thoughtfulness that she never forgot to bring out the potential of all her students. Oh,
how badly I wanted to be with my friends. Finally I was determined to convince her I
should be in the “ good ” group.
