The other day I was going through the airport at Ibiza and getting my Spanish exit stamp—a
Brexit benefit or drawback depending on how you feel—and the nice passport lady flicked through
(浏览) my passport, seeking a rare empty page, and said: “Wow, you have a lot of stamps. ” Like a
five-year-old, I practically glowed with pride.
Because I do have a lot of stamps. And sometimes I simply like to look at them. Right now, my
passport is so full of stamps it is in danger of filling up. However, there is a fair chance that this
won’t happen—not because I have any intention of ceasing my travels, but because most countries
are moving on from the era of physical stamps. In future our comings and goings will be monitored
digitally—and speedily.
This will, of course, be great for shortening airport queues, but it also means we will kiss goodbye
to the romance of the exotic (奇异的) stamp, that reminder of the time we crossed from, say, Chile
to Bolivia via the Andes and the salt plains. Or that first time we landed in the USA and got one of
the simplest stamps of all. The border officer smiled as he stamped my passport and said: “Welcome
to America.”
In my decades of travel, I have acquired some seriously—to my mind—exotic and wonderful
stamps: Armenia, Madagascar, Greenland. Some of the smallest countries demand entire pages of
your passport—looking at you, Cambodia.
Then there are the special stamps to truly remote destinations. My personal favourite is probably
the one I got going into the Republic of Mount Athos in northern Greece. It was magnificently
beautiful: the double-headed eagle of Byzantium, returned to life and impressed on my passport
pages.
It was certainly more cheerful than the stamp I once got from the British embassy in Bangkok,
which arranged for my return to the UK from Thailand after I really misbehaved. That stamp said
“Impound (扣留) Passport on Arrival in London”. And so they did.
Yet I miss that stamp too.
24. What does the author think of the shift from physical stamps to digital records?
A. Modern but artistically inferior. B. Eco-friendly but culture-erasing.
C.Cost-efficient but emotionally hurtful. D. Convenient but romance-reducing.
25. What does the underlined word “you” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Cambodia. B. Pages. C. Readers. D. Stamps.
26. Why does the author mention the Bangkok stamp?
A. To exhibit the extent of his global travels.
B. To present a less positive travel experience.
C. To highlight his attachment to all his stamps.
D. To reflect on his misbehavior and its consequences.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. My Favorite Passport Stamps B. The Beauty of Passport Stamps
C. Digital Progress: Passport Stamps at Risk
D. Passport Stamps: Bridging Borders and Cultures
C
There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm
the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and
prevalent (普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if
you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it
too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.
This bias(偏见 ) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers
have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently,
conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.
In Australia, people who admitted to poaching thought it was much more prevalent in society than
it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others
viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the
opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for
nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too
can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where
there’s already a lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered
in rubbish may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy
companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their
electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for
status has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly buy eco-
