• 3．What motivates someone to risk arrest and danger just to help others？In Dolores Huerta's case，it's a "sense of mission." She says， "I knew there's something I was meant to do."
     Dolores Huerta was born in the Great Depression.Huerta's mother worked two jobs to make sure her children were provided for.She insisted each child help around the house.Even，she tried to help those who struggled to find work.Inspired by her mother，as an adult，Huerta was known as a symbol for passionate commitment.
     After graduation，Huerta began to teach children in Stockton，California.Many of her students were poor children whose parents were farm workers barely making enough money to survive.She knew they couldn't do their best to learn when they came to school hungry.Huerta decided to help her students by helping their whole families.
     Huerta helped the farm workers bargain for better ways to work and live.Most farm workers in California worked long hours for low pay then.Workers were often exposed to dangerous chemicals.They sometimes had to pay for the water they drank at work.However，many farm workers didn't speak enough English to talk with farm owners about these problems.
     Huerta first worked with the Community Service Organization （CSO） to help make changes.She signed up workers to vote and urged them to be active in the CSO.She talked to governors and lawmakers about laws to guarantee farm workers' health and pay.Later，with another activist，she cofounded the United Farm Workers （UFW） to teach workers how to stand up for their rights.
     Although the UFW went about its work peacefully，sometimes crowds became angry and the police were called jye.ai.In 1988，while handing out information about workers' problems，Huerta was hurt and had to go to hospital，but it didn't stop jye.ai.Her courage drew notice and donations.Later，she created the Dolores Huerta Foundation.
     Despite retiring from the UFW，her mission is the same as it was four decades ago：teach people they have a voice，which really makes a difference.
  
  （1）How did Huerta's mother make a good example for Huerta's life of service？

  
  A．She had fought for the rights of those who struggled to find work.
  B．She worked to change unjust laws.
  C．She taught her children to work the farms.
  D．She worked hard for her family and others.
  （2）Which organization did Huerta first work with to improve conditions for farm workers？

  
  A．The school in Stockton.
  B．The Community Service Organization.
  C．The United Farm Workers.
  D．The Dolores Huerta Foundation.
  （3）Why was Huerta known as a symbol of passionate commitment？

  
  A．Because she signed people up to vote.
  B．Because she founded some organizations to help farm workers.
  C．Because she devoted her life to helping others get justice.
  D．Because she felt sad when she saw hungry schoolchildren.
  （4）What is the BEST title for the text？

  B．Everyone has a right to make his voice heard.

• 4．Procrastinators （拖延癥患者），take note：If you've tried building self-control and you're still putting things off，maybe you need to try something different.One new approach：Check your mood.
     Often，procrastinators attempt to avoid the anxiety or worry aroused by a tough task with activities aimed at repairing their mood，such as checking Facebook or taking a nap.But the pattern，which researchers call "giving in to feel good，" makes procrastinators feel worse later，when they face the consequences of missing a deadline or making a last-minute effort，says Timothy Pychyl，an associate professor of psychology at Carleton University.
     Increasingly，psychologists and time-management consultants are focusing on a new strategy：helping procrastinators see how attempts at mood repair are destroying their efforts and learn to control their emotions in more productive ways.
     The new approach is based on several studies in the past two years showing that negative emotions can damage attempts at self-control.It fills a gap among established time-management methods，which stress behavioral changes such as adopting a new organizing system or doing exercises to build willpower.
     Researchers have come up with a playbook of strategies to help procrastinators turn mood repair to their advantage.Some are tried-and-true classics：Dr.Pychyl advises procrastinators to just get started，and make the doorstep for getting started quite low. "Procrastinators are more likely to put the technique to use when they understand how mood repair works，" says Dr.Pychyl，author of a 2013 book， "Solving the Procrastination Puzzle." He adds，"A real motive power comes from doing what we intend to do—the things that are important to us."
     He also advises procrastinators to practice "time travel"-projecting themselves into the future to imagine the good feelings they will have after finishing a task，or the bad ones they will have if they don't.This cures procrastinators' tendency to get so stuck in present anxieties and worries that they fail to think about the future.
     Another mood-repair strategy，self-forgiveness，is aimed at dismissing the self-blame.University freshmen who forgave themselves for procrastinating on studying for the first exam in a course procrastinated less on the next exam，according to a recent study led by Michael Wohl，an associate professor of psychology at Carleton.
     Thomas Flint learned about the technique by reading research on self-control，including studies by Dr.Sirois and Dr.Pychyl.He put it to use after his family moved recently to a new house.Instead of beating himself up for failing to unpack all the boxes gathered in his garage right away，Mr.Flint decided to forgive himself and start with a single step.I'd say， "OK，I'm going to take an hour，with a goal of getting the TV set up，and that's it，he says；then he watched a TV show as a reward.Allowing himself to do the task in stages，he says，is "a victory."
  
  （1）What does Timothy Pychyl mean by mentioning the "giving in to feel good" practice in Paragraph 2？
  

  
  A．It probably does more harm than good.
  B．It prevents procrastinators from giving up.
  C．It helps procrastinators meet the deadline.
  D．It effectively drives away anxiety and worry.
  （2）Where does a real motive power come from according to Dr.Pychyl？

  
  A．Sticking to one's intention.
  B．Doing things that really matter.
  C．Getting started from a low doorstep.
  D．Learning important techniques of mood repair.
  （3）What is the purpose of the practice "time travel"？

  
  A．To make their future plan more practical.
  B．To accelerate the speed of finishing the task.
  C．To stop people from worrying about their travel.
  D．To free people from the present negative emotions.
  （4）What can be inferred from Michael Wohl study？

  
  A．Self-blame prevents students from putting things off.
  B．Procrastinators are still able to get good scores in exams.
  C．University freshmen can get rid of procrastination easily.
  D．Self-forgiveness is an effective way to cure procrastination.

• 5．When you go to a foreign country，you often enter a new culture.The differences between cultures may make you feel stressed and you often find it difficult to adjust to the new surroundings，which is usually called "culture shock".
     The psychological and physical symptoms of culture shock may appear depending on the individuals.Some often feel anxious while adjusting to a new culture-even more so when the cultural distances are wide. （1）

  They remain too homesick and feel so sad about being separated from their friends back home that they long to return，especially within the first year.
     （2）

  People adjusting to a new culture often feel lonely because the language barrier makes it hard to create new relationships.Furthermore，having trouble with the native language often makes them unwilling to interact with other people.
     （3）

  You may do some research on the cultural aspects of the new country such as the history，customs，and religious beliefs，rather than on what to see and where to go，so you may get prepared for a culture that is different from yours.Studying the language is also a great way to help bridge the gap between the cultures. （4）

  
     A local club provides the perfect environment to get to know people who have a similar focus，so join one so that you can meet some locals and develop new friendships. （5）

  There are other travelers who have the same experiences in a foreign country.Talk with them，sharing feelings，tips and insight.
  
  A.They may lose appetite and have sleep problems.
  B.Still，the most important change is communication.
  C.They make a lot of effort to get used to the new surroundings.
  D.The more of it is understood，the more of the new culture can be understood.
  E.Learning about your future destination is a great way to get over culture shock.
  F.Plus，remember that you aren't alone in your struggle to adjust in a new country.
  G.Actually，staying in a foreign country helps you to know more of the new culture.
