Empathy, the Key to Being Kind

In science class, your teacher tells everyone to find a partner for a project. Out of the comer of your eye, you notice one girl sitting alone and not making eye contact with anyone. You think about asking her to be your partner, but you're afraid people will think you're uncool. You don't reach out. 1.

Empathy is being able to understand and actually feel what someone else is feeling. For some people, this comes naturally; for others, it takes a bit more work. 2. When you practice being empathetic, it gets easier to make kindness a part of your everyday life. If you can understand why people are feeling down, you'll want to help them. Here are some ideas that can help you.

3. Someone not being able to find a group in class might not seem like a big deal—but part of being kind is noticing when someone seems sad, hurt or uncomfortable. After all, you have to notice how people feel in order to feel empathy and want to help them!

When you're trying to make kindness second nature, really getting other people's feelings is important 4. Think about a time when you felt that way. Didn't you wish someone would reach out to you? If someone had offered you a few words of comfort, wouldn't it have made you feel so much happier?

So, when you find people around you who are feeling down next time, do not hesitate to put yourself in their shoes and reach out to them with a kind gesture. 5. There is always a time when you expect others to relate to you and feel what you feel.

A. And your kindness will be finally rewarded.

B. But empathy is super important to being kind.

C. Be open to learning more about what you don't understand.

D. One way to practice empathy is to pay attention to the people around you.

E. However, you never know showing empathy may make all the difference to her.

F. You don't have to have a similar background to someone else to feel empathy for them.

G. Whenever you find someone might be feeling lonely or sad, put yourself in his shoes.

Houses fall down. Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking? That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw (解凍).

About 85 percent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost (永久凍結帶). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing?

Some scientists say that human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.

The collapsing (倒塌) is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.

The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have been very busy.

“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,” Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼澤), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”

“The melting could cause severe problems.” Walters says, “This could take hundreds of years, but in the end Alaska will look quite different from what it looks like now.”

1.The main reason why permafrost is thawing is that ______.

A. the temperature in Alaska is rising

B. people in Alaska don’t take care of permafrost

C. too many houses are built on permafrost

D. people in Alaska polluted permafrost

2.The following are the results of melting permafrost EXCEPT ______.

A. holes form in the ground

B. a forest will be turned into a swamp

C. some animals have to go elsewhere

D. more water will be needed by people and animals

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. When permafrost melts, houses will fall down.

B. House-moving companies are busy because their houses are in danger.

C. To stop permafrost melting is a very difficult problem.

D. Most of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost.

4.Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?

A. Alaska—A Frozen Land B. Pollution and Global Warming

C. Is Alaska Sinking? D. Alaska Is Polluted

Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people，according to a study from Berlin，Germany.

“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents’ health. This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand，one of the researchers.

The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70．Overall，after accounting for grandparents’age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20-year period was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，compared with grandparents who provided no childcare．

Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t a relative. Half of a 11 childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began，while non-helpers lived for four years on average.

“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society．Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，” said Professor Bruno Arpino．

Arpino noted，however，that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working，being in social clubs，or volunteering．“Children should take into account their parents’ needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，” he suggested．

“It is very important that every individual decides for him／herself，what proper amounts of help’ means，”Hilbrand said，adding，“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(強度) of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself．”

1.What is the caregiving study based on?

A. Human evolutionary history． B. Demand modern society．

C. Social contact between relatives． D. Data on many elderly people．

2.In Arpino’s opinion，childcare________．

A. is sure to keep old people away from illnesses

B. allows old people to live a more meaningful life

C. creates more job opportunities for old people

D. makes social activities inaccessible to old people

3.What does the underlined part “take into account” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A. Limit． B. Ignore． C. Favor． D. Consider．

4.What does the last paragraph tell us?

A. Grandparents can do anything in their own interests．

B. Grandparents should share more social responsibilities．

C. Proper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents．

D. Caregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.

It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time，and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history．If this is true，possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic devices，a reading-material explosion，a popular interest toward tight or pocket less clothing，or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.

But，much as nature finds ways—such as disease—to control overpopulation，city life has thrown up impediments(障礙) to bags．To enter many public buildings，such as theatres and railway stations，you must go through a search or go bagless．The city has countless bag rules．It is hard to keep them all straight，and you're never sure，when leaving home for the day，whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along．

Last week，the New York Public Library got in the game．Students，researchers，writers，historians，and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule．You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library．If you walk in with one，you must leave it at the coat check．You may keep its contents with you，however，and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them．You return them when you come back for your own bag．

What the library is trying to prevent，in this case，is people taking things out，rather than bringing things in．A librarian said on the second day，”It’s a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats．The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so．The people who steal will continue to get away with it，if they really want to．”

1.How many reasons does the author list to explain the changes related to bags?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

2.What do the bag rules in many public buildings require people to do?

A. Have their bags examined. B. Pay for bringing in bags.

C. Leave the places bagless. D. Use big clear plastic bags.

3.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?

A. To change people’s way of reading.

B. To prevent people stealing things.

C. To help people better use the library.

D. To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.

4.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?

A. Excellent． B. Satisfactory． C. Harmful． D. Limited．
