14、 others kindness backNowadays mail delivery is a little different. I still get my mail from my mailbox. Nothing, but my neighbors mail. I thought that was curious.I proceeded to take my neighbors mail to them. I was about to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came running out shouting abo
15、ut messing with his friends mail. He snatched (夺过) the mail from my hand, opened the mailbox and pointed to the mail inside.“You were after this.I shook my head, “No, believe me. I got this mail by mistake in my box today. I was just bringing it to them.” He gave me a funny look and went back into h
16、is house.I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers. The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyones mail. Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog approa
17、ch my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in. He pushed the door closed with his nose, picked up the new pile of mail he had gotten from my box, and repeated this all the way down the next street. We all started laughing.The dog had belonged to a m
18、ail carrier who had died. No one thought to check (the carrier lived alone) on the mans dog. The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes.

21、A mail serviceBA dogs taleCSpecial deliveryDNoble dutiesI remember when Kamala Harris became Joe Bidens running mate. It seemed funny how many people pronounced her name incorrectly. On one occasion, a news host became upset when being corrected, and purposely called her Kumbaya.I am no stranger to
22、this issue as many of my students are from Asian and Middle Eastern countries, and sometimes their names are difficult for me to pronounce, even after asking them how to say it. Many students seem unwilling to correct me when I attempt to learn their names correctly. The other thing Ive seen in grow
23、ing numbers is students “adopting” an English name.Its much more common than many think, for people to change their names in order to fit in.This is especially the case when it comes to seeking jobs. Racial and cultural minorities often attempt to avoid discrimination hiring by hiding racial cues on
24、 the resume including changing their name. This is referred to as “resume whitening”. Research shows almost 50 percent of black and Asian job applicants did so.Xian Zhao from the University of Toronto researches ethnic (种族的) name pronunciation, saying that many people dont understand that habitually
25、 pronouncing an unfamiliar name inaccurately is a form of indirect discrimination. It sends a message that “you are the minorities” says Zhao. “You are not important in this environment, so why should I take time and my effort to learn it?”On the other end, those with ethnic names frequently dont co
26、rrect people, even when their name is pronounced wrong repeatedly, feeling it is better just to keep the peace and not stand out for being difficult.It is important to try to pronounce everyones name as they pronounce it. This communicates respect of them as a person and their culture. There is noth
27、ing wrong with asking someone to repeat their name so that you can learn to pronounce it properly. This is usually appreciated.28When their names are incorrectly pronounced, the authors Asian studentsAattempt to laugh at itBtend to accept itCoffer to correct the authorDagree to change their names29W

30、ing.CReserved.DSupportive.For generations, depression has been seen as an illness, disorder or even weakness. Such an idea makes sense because depression causes suffering and even death. But what if weve got it all wrong?The common wisdom is that depression starts in the mind with abnormal thinking.
31、 That leads to symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or tiredness. Now, models like the Polyvagal Theory suggest that weve got it backward. Its the body that detects danger and initiates a defense strategy meant to help us survive. That biological strategy is called immobilization, and it demonstra
32、tes in the mind and the body with a set of symptoms we call depression.When we think of depression as unnecessary suffering, we are telling people with depression that they are not part of the group, they are not right and they don t belong. That robs them of hope. But when we begin to understand th
33、at depression, at least initially, happens for a good reason we lift the shame. Instead, people with depression are courageous survivors, not damaged sick people.The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is constantly scanning our internal and external environment for signs of danger. If our ANS detects a
34、threat or even a simple lack of safety, its next strategy is the fight or flight response, which we often feel as anxiety. Sometimes the threat is so bad or goes on for so long, that the nervous system decides there is no way to fight or to flee. At that point, there is only one option left: immobil
35、ization.The immobilization response is the original biological defense in higher animals. It dulls pain and makes us feel disconnected. Think of some reptiles (爬行动物), which shut down their bodies to avoid cold temperatures and the lack of food and water. In humans, people often describe feeling “out
36、 of their bodies during extremely unpleasant events, which has a defensive effect of reducing the emotional shock. This is important because some things are so terrible, we dont want people to be fully present when they happen. What incredible capacity of our biology to find a way in hard times!32Wh
37、y does the author mention the Polyvagal Theory?ATo offer a standard for identifying depression.BTo raise peoples awareness of mental problems.CTo make sense of how depression affects people.DTo correct a commonly held idea about depression.33What can we infer from paragraph 3?ADepression can bring p
38、eople in crisis hope.BPeople may feel it wrong to have depression.CDepression is an unnecessary human emotion.DPeople often feel proud of fighting depression.34What is “immobilization” in the text?ABuilding up anxiety.BRising to challenges.CShutting down action.DPulling through a crisis.35In which o

40、t should be avoided at all costs._37_It may have been an “F” we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying.Award-winning psychologist and author, Ron Friedman, tells the story of how Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, revolutionized th
41、e womens clothing industry and became a billionaire in his book, The Best Place To Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace._38_ She had zero experience in the clothing industry, lacked an education in business and raised only $5,000 to invest. When asked where she found the
42、courage, she gave all credit to her dad. While most parents ask their kids, “How was your day? when sitting down for dinner, Saras parents asked her and her brother, “What did you fail at today?” each and every night.When interviewed by CNNs Anderson Cooper, Sara said, “Instead of failure being the
43、outcome, failure became not trying. It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.” _39_ It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness.If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone. _40_ It does not define us,
44、 but instead matures us. I m sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure.What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance? Please share with us.AAnd, most importantly, it means you tr
45、ied.BLets take a look at how Sara faced failures.CIn reality, Saras father had re-defined failure.DEarly on, Sara overcame a series of difficulties.EInstead, we must remind ourselves that failure is an action.FIt is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure.GWe tend to connect failure
