A university lecturer in Linyi, Shandong province, has shone a light on the difficulties of food
delivery drivers by taking on the role himself for a month and sharing his trials and sufferings online.
Last December, Xing Bin, a lecturer at the College of Literature at Linyi University, was so eager to
know about what life and work must be like for a delivery driver, so he decided to sign up and be one from
December to January this year. The gig economy(临时工), for better or worse, has exploded in China in
recent years, and though many members of the workforce choose to work in the gig economy because of
its flexibility(灵活性), others prefer full-time employment.
During the month, Xing worked more than 10 hours and took 30,000 steps a day. He lost 6 kilograms
and earned a total of 7,000 yuan. On average, he earned 10 yuan each hour, and 20 yuan at most. " I was
delivering food from early morning till late at night for around 13 hours a day. When I had classes, I
delivered food for two hours early in the morning, and after dinner I continued delivering until one or two
in the morning," Xing said.
“Before, if I got a call from a delivery worker, I might delay answering it. But now I will always
answer it immediately because I know they might be riding an electric bike while making the call, which is
very dangerous,” said Xing, adding that he now understands the difficulties of delivery workers better and
realizes how hard they work to make a living.
“During that month, I tasted the bitterness and the happiness of this job with my heart. I delivered
over 2,000 orders, and three of the people who ordered impressed me a lot.” he said.
24. Why did Xing try the job of a delivery driver?
A. Out of curiosity. B. Owing to its high pay.
C. Because of its flexibility. D. For its low career requirements.
25. What is the purpose of using numbers in paragraph3?
A. To introduce Xing’s experiences. B. To praise delivery workers’ spirits.
C. To describe delivery workers’ hardships. D. To show delivery workers’ achievements.
26. What may the passage talk about next?
A. Requirements for the job. B. Memories of Xing’s experiences.
C. Xing’s calling for more respect. D. The online reaction to his posts.
27. What can we learn from Xing’s story?
A. No pains, no gains. B. Save for a rainy day.
C. Easier said than done. D. Knowledge starts with practice.
C
The difficulty in learning a foreign language lies not only in its complexity( 复 杂 ) but also in its
difference from your own. The first thing many learners will think of is the writing system. Chinese stands
out for its difficulty. A learner is said to memorize at least 2,000 characters to be able to read a newspaper.
A second way languages can be hard is with sounds and differences that do not exist in the learner’s
language. To an English-speaker, the novelty includes the clicks of many African languages and the
ejective sounds made by a sudden release of pressure in the mouth in some Caucasian ones. But just as
hard is the problem of languages that differ from your own.
The vocabulary obviously matters too. Most European languages share an ancestor (called proto-
Indo-European) and so their words, too, often come in related pairs. If you know water in Spanish is agua,
it is easy to figure out Italian acqua and English aquatic. But the European languages share vocabulary for
another reason: they have freely borrowed from one another over the centuries. Not only will languages
unrelated to the European ones lack the "genetic" similarities in vocabulary but also they, culturally
distant, have far less borrowed European vocabulary too.
Finally there is grammar. Many people connect tricky grammar with long lists of endings that change
according to a word’s use in a sentence. This exists all over Arabic such as prefixes, suffixes( 后 缀 ), or
vowels(元音) and consonants, which accounts for the difficulty of the language. Foreign grammar is also
difficult to the extent that it differs from your language.
If you want to learn a language just for fun, start with Swedish. If you want to learn more, stay in
Europe. But if you really want to impress, mastering Cantonese or Korean is the sign of the true
linguistic(语言的) Ironman.
28. What does the underlined "novelty" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Culture. B. Civilization. C. Uniqueness. D. Unfamiliarity.
29. Why are Spanish, Italian and English mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To tell their differences. B. To compare the languages.
C. To prove their shared connections. D. To show difficulty in learning them.
30. Which may probably be the most difficult language?
A. Arabic. B. English. C. Swedish. D. Korean.
31. The passage mainly talks about of a foreign language.
A. learning strategies B. learning difficulties
C. learning contents D. learning processes
D
When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed an exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test
weeks earlier, and needed more work to advance her own career. But instead of anxiety, she called her
friend. "I congratulated her and told her she inspired me," she says. She was surprised when it changed her
attitude, so she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in turn.
Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, a term
that describes the joy we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it isn’t directly connected with us.
Freudenfreude is like social glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College
in Pennsylvania. It makes relationships "closer and more enjoyable". Sharing in someone else’s joy can
also improve life satisfaction and resilience(适应力) and help people cooperate during a disagreement.
While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily. Sometimes, your loss
might last, making freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with
self-worth, Chambliss says, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming.
And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing (幸福) can also affect your ability to participate in
someone else’s joy. Still, freudenfreude is worthwhile and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
Instead of an automatic response, freudenfreude is often an active process. To help people strengthen
joy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and her colleagues developed a programme called Freudenfreude
Enhancement Training (FET). They found that depressed people who used the practices for two weeks had
an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which built up their relationships and improved their mood.
Jean Grae, an artist, supports friends in this mindset. When someone gets a new opportunity or
reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate. Grae says she’s especially moved when anyone
considered ‘other’ succeeds. "It’s truly inspirational," she says, "because it lifts us all up and makes us
shine."
32. What do we know about Eugenie George?
A. She took pride in passing her exam. B. She shared her success with her friend.
C. She was pleased with her friend’s success. D. She was annoyed at her failure in an exam.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about freudenfreude?
A. Its great benefits. B. Its disadvantages.
C. Reasons for its absence. D. Ways of improving it.
34. Why is Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET) held?
A. To test the effect of freudenfreude. B. To help people apply freudenfreude.
C. To get people to know freudenfreude. D. To show the advantages of freudenfreude.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How to experience freudenfreude?
B. Let’s share what leads to freudenfreude.
C. Freudenfreude: View others’ success as our own.
D. A win-win: Freudenfreude brings our own pleasure.
