In a quiet village near Chengdu, 26-year-old Lin Zhipeng stands out as the only young resident among elderly neighbors. While most youth migrate to cities, Lin chooses rural life, bonding with seniors who affectionately call him “Dasenzi” (“big grandson” in Sichuan dialect). This nickname also titles his Douyin account, where his videos documenting inter-generational interactions have accumulated over 700,000 followers.
When interacting with the seniors in the village, Lin observed that the elderly are eager to connect with younger generations. His grandfather, for instance, who was once serious and quiet, had a breakthrough moment during a video shoot. He accidentally made a joke, and when seeing his grandson laughing heartily in response, it sparked a transformation in him. From then on, he began intentionally telling more jokes.
Beyond entertainment, Lin provides practical support for the elderly. He uses earnings from taking on product advertisement projects to purchase daily necessities for them and even organize photo shoots for elderly couples who have never had wedding pictures. Medical assistance is another priority. Seniors often hesitate to seek treatment for minor illnesses and find hospital procedures confusing when they do need care for more serious conditions. Whenever possible, Lin helps them navigate these issues.
However, Lin emphasizes that material aid isn’t enough. “They crave companionship—a visit or a call means a lot,” he says. Lin pointed out that while current policies ensure that even the most disadvantaged have enough food and clothing, elderly people living alone also need emotional support. “These elderly residents are getting older every day, and to be frank, they could leave us at any time,” Lin said. “Let’s cherish every moment we have with them while we still can.”
Through humor and compassion, “Dasenzi” redefines rural aging—not as isolation, but as a stage for inter-generational bonds.
24. Why might Lin’s grandfather start telling more jokes
A. To gain more attention from his grandson
B. To attract more followers on Douyin
C. To present Sichuan people’s joyful spirit
D. To bond emotionally with his grandson
25. Which behavior is NOT mentioned as part of Lin’s support for the elderly
A. Advocating for government policy changes
B. Organizing wedding photography sessions
C Financial assistance through sponsored ads
D. Helping cope with healthcare procedures
26. Why does Lin emphasize that material aid isn’t enough for the elderly
A. Because he thinks material assistance doesn’t matter at all.
B. Because the elderly long for emotional connection and company.
C. Because he lacks sufficient funds to support all their needs.
D. Because government policies have already covered basic living costs.
27. What might be the best title for the text
A. Winning Fame: The Rise of a Douyin Star
B. Urban Migration: Leaving lonely elderly behind
C. Big grandson: Bridging Generations in Rural China
D. Medical Gaps: Addressing Elderly Care in Sichuan
C
Growing up, my older brother, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like how our cells are completely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the concept of constant change in our selves, meaning I'm a physically different person from the one I was years ago.
Today, I often wonder: Am I a story that's constantly being written people have debated this for a long time, with ancient Greeks arguing whether a thing's true essence lies in its unchanging nature or its ongoing development.
Plato believed that natural science focuses on the changing physical world, while philosophy, using intelligence and reason, explored the change less eternal (永恒). For instance, veterinary science studies growing dogs, but philosophers question the idea of “Dog” itself.
Aristotle agreed that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in constant change. He believed change is part of the true nature of things and your virtue is about who you're turning into, not a fixed identity. As such, becoming was his focus, rather than some perfect invisible being.
So, which is your view, and how does that guide the way you live None of this is to say the choice between Platonism and Aristotelianism is absolute. We all have some unchanging characteristics, and we also change in many ways. The philosophical perspective you adopt will depend on how you principally define yourself and what you choose to pay attention to as you move through the world.
Are you more like a Platonist or an Aristotelian It depends on whether you see yourself as having a fixed identity or a changing story. Today’s culture often pushes you to be a Platonist, defining yourself as a certain type of person. This can make you a repeat customer and give you a sense of belonging. But it might also keep you in situations you don't like. Being more like an Aristotelian can set you free.
28. What did the author tell us about our cells in Paragraph 1
A. The unchanging nature of our souls.
B. The ongoing transformation of our bodies.
C. The belief that our science and nature do not change.
D. The idea that we are the same person through our lives.
29. According to Aristotle, what is the focus of understanding a dog
A. Its unchanging nature. B. Its determined essence.
C. Its stable identity. D. Its continuous development.
30. How does modem culture tend to influence personal identity, according to the text
A. By pushing people to define themselves into fixed identities.
B. By suggesting that personal identity will be a mystery forever.
C. By encouraging individuals to accept constant change and growth.
D. By promoting that individual identity is determined by belongings.
31. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage
A. Plato vs. Aristotle: the Battle of Ideas.
B. The Philosophical Outlook: A Defined Personality.
C. Becoming vs. Being: Viewpoint on Personal Identity.
D. The Unchanging Universe: A Philosophical Dilemma.
D
Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie
A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded. Psychologist Janis Zickfeld and his team conducted experiments with over 21,000 participants from the U.S. and the U.K., simulating a tax-reporting scenario where subjects could lie about their earnings without penalty. Participants performed a sorting task in which they earned money based on how quickly they finished. They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross.
The researchers generated 21 types of honesty pledges. The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges. The research found that the pledges were far from equal in preserving honest behavior. Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). Casting honesty as all-or-nothing (“either the reporting is honest or it is not”) and appealing to social norms were also both modestly effective. Pledges highlighting social bonds or self-image did not have a significant effect.
Timing also mattered: pledges presented after completing a task but before reporting results were more effective than those shown earlier. Additionally, participants who typed their pledges rather than just checking a box showed higher compliance rates, suggesting active engagement strengthens commitment. Interestingly, the study uncovered demographic (人口统计的) differences. Younger males with low scores in “honesty-humility” personality traits were most likely to cheat, while cultural factors also played a role — Americans lied more frequently than British participants in the pound-denominated experiment, where the British pound is used, so foreign currencies perhaps seemed more abstract to the American participants.
These findings have practical implications. As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns.
“The beauty of these interventions is: they’re very cheap,” Shalvi says. But this study is only a first step. “Once we know what effects are vigorous and steady, we can go to policymakers and suggest randomized controlled trials in target populations. Then, if that works, we can look at changing tax forms or whatever.”
32. What is the primary focus of the research discussed in the passage
A. The economic benefits of tax compliance.
B. The psychological mechanisms behind effective integrity pledges.
C. A comparison of ethical standards across cultures and nations.
D. Technological solutions for reducing financial fraud.
33. What does the underlined word “compliance” mean in paragraph 3
A. Understanding B. Agreement C. Obedience D. Remembering.
34. Which pledge would likely work best in a school exam setting
A. “Good students don’t cheat.” B. “Cheating violates academic rules.”
C. “I value honesty in education.” D. “Most students prefer fair tests.”
35. Which real-world application of the study’s findings is mentioned in the passage
A. Designing tax forms with stricter penalties.
B. Tracking medical equipment returns in hospitals.
C. Promoting honesty pledges in international trade.
D. Training teachers to use vague moral statements.
