Crowdfunding is a fundraising method that makes use of the power of the Internet and social networks. It
involves raising small amounts of money from a large number of individuals or investors, typically through online
platforms. These platforms connect entrepreneurs (创业者) with potential backers who contribute funds to support
a specific project, business, or idea.
Types of Crowdfunding
Donation-based Crowdfunding-People donate a small amount of money without receiving credit. Reward-
Based Crowdfunding-Backers get a reward, such as a product sample or easy access, in exchange for their
contribution. This model is popular for startups and creative projects.
Equity (股权) Crowdfunding-Investors receive shares or equity in the business in exchange for their funding.
This model is ideal for small businesses looking to raise substantial capital and is subject to specific regulations.
Debt Crowdfunding-Entrepreneurs borrow money from backers and agree to repay it with interest over time.
This model is similar to a loan and is suitable for businesses with a clear repayment plan.
Tips for a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign
Set clear goals: Define your funding goal, the purpose of the funds, and how you’ll use the money.
Persuasive story: Make an appealing and genuine story about your business. Explain why it matters and how
backers’ contributions will make a difference.
Transparency: Be transparent and honest about your project’s progress and any challenges you encounter.
Backers appreciate honesty.
Fulfill promises: Once your campaign is successful, fulfill your promises to backers timely and communicate
regularly.

When training for my first marathon, I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace
and splits.
At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my
watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I
screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship
with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick
for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster.
I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to
be better.
In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like
brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant
taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and
what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.
I then found I genuinely love running. I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love
running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how
my mind feels afterwards — clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face.
I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good
enough.

A. had to stop working out B. became physically worn out

6. What does “being better” mean to the author now?
A. Getting pleasure out of winning races. B. Being more focused on her life goal.
C. Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D. Improving her overall well-being.
7. What can we conclude from this passage?
A. Adjustment brings happiness. B. Passion is the key to success.
C. Sports contribute to happiness. D. Success equals self-improvement.
C
Next time you’re with a loved one, consider trying an awkward experiment: Take a moment of silence and
gaze into each others eyes. By the time you reach about four seconds, things will probably start to feel
uncomfortable. Yet the precise reason why is tricky to pin down with a scientific lens.
“There’s something in that looking that has meaning, sustainable meaning,” says Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist
at Yale School of Medicine, “The mechanism for connection has never really been understood.”
Several years ago, her team figured out how to adapt an existing neuroimaging ( 神 经 成 像 ) tool called
functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS), for the purpose of analyzing the brains of two people during natural
interactions. With these brain imaging tools, Hirsch is expanding the social neuroscience field into what she refers
to as “the neuroscience of two.”
In the research, her teams have revealed a powerful region of the brain that is associated with eye contact.
Specifically, fNIRS experiments have demonstrated that in-person eye contact seems to be connected to a brain part
associated with language production and reception, as well as the primary sensory cortex ( 额 叶 ), which is
fundamental to processing sensations like physical touch, pain and temperature. In simple terms: “The eyes have
privileged access to large parts of the brain,” says Hirsch.
Hirsch’s experiments have also revealed the unique tendency for two brains to synchronize (同步) during eye
contact and communication. A research of Dartmouth College has similarly highlighted how expansion of pupils
(瞳孔) can synchronize during a conversation to indicate “shared attention” between two people, according to a
2021 study. Interestingly, those researchers found that precise moments of shared eye contact actually decrease the
pupil synchrony between two people, perhaps in a beneficial way.
Ultimately, each of these studies sparks just as many new questions as it answers - a reality that is perfectly
fine with Hirsch.“Yes indeed, the old philosophers were right.” she says. “Faces and brains work together like locks
and keys.”
8. What do we know about the awkward experiment from the first two paragraphs?
A. It will be a long time before you feel comfortable. B. You can sense something from each other’s eyes.
C. Scientists have explained the reason for it clearly. D. There is no link between eye contact and feelings.
9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A
.
Why the brain responds to eye contact easily. B. How the language is produced in the brain.
C. What the function of primary sensory cortex is. D. How the regions of the brain are shaped.
