I used to sit in front of the TV i

14、n my familys living room, imitating what the presenters said on the morning shows. I knew one day I would move to New York City to work in television.So when I got a job at one of the three big networks in New York at the age of 24, I was elated. This was where I had always wanted to be. I spent the

15、 next 12 years in a variety of roles at the same company. I had the perfect arrangement that most people thought - a job for life. “Youre so lucky” was what I heard over and over again. And I was.But I also started to notice cracks in the media world I had come to love so much. A new kind of competi

16、tion cropped up in the form of social media and new digital media. News was changing. I knew I couldnt stay where I was; I must accept the change and be part of creating it. When I told my colleagues that I was thinking about leaving the network and going to work at an online start-up, I got a lot o

17、f crazy looks. “Why would you make such a risky move?” “What if it fails?” “You cant be seriously considering this.”I didnt listen to their advice because I knew not every good experience is defined(定义) by success or failure. Sometimes its about running the risk pushing the limits and having faith i

18、n an idea.

You see, there are several types of dolphins. Some are saltwater dolphins while others are river dolphins.What are the 32 types of dolphins? W

22、hen people are asking the question, they are actually referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and seas. The river dolphins living in fresh water, are not included in these species. But what would be the answer in this case if we ask, Dolphin or not a dolphin? The answer would obviously be yes.

23、 River dolphins still belong to the dolphin family.Among the 32 types of dolphins, some do not actually wear the word dolphin in their names, such as the tucuxi, while others actually have the word whale as part of their names even if they are not whales but in fact, belong to the dolphin family, fo

24、r example, the melon-headed whale and the killer whale. So what would be the answer to the question dolphin or not a dolphin? in these cases? It would be yes. All these species do belong to the dolphin family.Another question that people ask is, Are the sea animals that perform at aquariums （水族馆） al

25、l dolphins? So, it always seems to come back to the question, Dolphin or not a dolphin? Well the answer is no in this case. The sea animals that perform there are not all dolphins. The beluga which people tend to think belong to the dolphin family because they show what seems like a smile, like most

26、 dolphins, are in fact a species of the whale family.Now that you read these facts about dolphins, you probably realize that certain sea animals may appear to be part of the dolphin species and that others seem to be part of the whale family, but in either case, it is not obvious and can be surprisi

27、ng when you identify a sea animal as being a dolphin or not a dolphin. That is the question!28. All the following belong to the dolphin family EXCEPT _.A. The tucuxi.B. The beluga.C. The killer whale.D. The melon-headed whale.29. What do we know about the majority of the dolphins?A. They perform for

28、 audience.B. They appear friendly.C. They look like whales.D. They live in fresh water.30. What could be added about dolphins before the last paragraph if you were the author?A. The living area.

29、s_.A. popular science B. literary fiction C. a news report D. a travel journalDBuying green is now popular with many consumers. We choose environmentally friendly products, and we try to be conscious consumers. However, new research by the University of Arizona has found that it has no positive effe

30、ct on psychological well-being (幸福感). It also has a more limited environmental benefit than the other option simply buying less.The study followed 968 young adults over a number of years. Throughout the study, participants responded to online survey questions about their subjunctive well-being, thei

31、r life satisfaction and their psychological distress (悲伤), as well as giving information about their levels of materialism and pro-environmental behaviors.The study found that reduced consumption buying less, repairing items instead of replacing them, avoiding impulse purchases and so on was linked

32、to a higher level of personal well-being and a lower level of psychological distress, but green buying did not show such links.Perhaps unsurprisingly, the study also found that young people with more materialistic values were less likely to engage in reduced consumption. This group did, however, eng

33、age with buying green activities. Researcher Sabrina Helm suggests that this may be because buying green is still buying so it still satisfies the materialists urge to accumulate new items. These people are called green materialists.However, green materialists must still deal with the same consumpti

34、on-related stresses as average materialists. If you buy and own a lot of stuff, it takes up a lot of head space. You have to worry about how to pay for it, and you have to manage all the stuff, worrying about how to keep it safe and how to keep it organized. As Helm notes, “The key is to reduce cons

35、umption and not just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier.”Understanding how materialistic values affect consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect personal well-being, is important. However, Helm acknowledges that for many cons

36、umers, changing behaviors to consume less will be challenging. “Weve been told since childhood that theres a product for everything and its OK to buy, and its a good thing because thats how the economy works,” She Said.32. What is the difference between buying less and buying green?A. Buying less pr

37、omotes personal well-being.B. Buying less is based on materialistic values.C. Buying green brings more life satisfaction.D. Buying green contributes more to the environment.33. What problem does a green materialist usually have to face?A. The burden of ownership.B. Worries about how to stay safe.C.

38、Stresses from average materialists.D. The difficulty finding green products.34. What does what Helm says in the last paragraph indicate?A. It is natural to buy and sell things.B. Its important to be wise consumers.C. Its good to buy what is needed. D. Its not easy to make people buy less.35. What is

39、 the best title for the text?A. Changes in Consumer CultureB. Buying Less for Your HappinessC. Green Consumption: A Choice for the PlanetD.
