  • 2.Research shows people have a tendency to seek out information during uncertain times — it's a natural coping mechanism (机制).But is continuous information-seeking on social media,sometimes called doomscrolling (末日刷刷刷),helpful during a pandemic,or any time?
       Research on the effects of bad news on mood suggests exposure to negative COVID news is likely to be dangerous to our emotional well being.For instance,one study conducted in March 2020 involving more than 6,000 Americans found that the more time participants spent consuming COVID news in a day,the unhappier they felt.
       These findings are striking but leave a few key questions unanswered.Does doomscrolling make people unhappy,or are unhappy people just more likely to doomscroll?How much time spent doomscrolling is a problem?And what would happen if,instead of doomscrolling,we were " kindness scrolling " — reading about humanity's positive responses to a global crisis?
       To find out answers to these questions,researchers conducted a study where they showed hundreds of people real-world content on either Twitter or YouTube for two to four minutes.The Twitter feeds and YouTube videos featured either general news about the COVID,or news about kindness during COVID.Researchers then measured these participants' moods using a questionnaire,and compared their moods with participants who did not engage with any content at all.
       People who were shown general COVID-related news experienced lower moods than people who were shown nothing at all.Meanwhile,people who were shown COVID news stories involving acts of kindness didn't experience the same decline in mood,but also didn't gain the boost in mood they' d predicted.These findings suggest that spending as little as two to four minutes consuming negative news about COVID-19 can have a negative impact on our mood.
       Researchers are still working on what people can do to look after themselves,and make time on social media more pleasurable.

    D.To find out what news people like about doomscrolling.
    (3)What can we learn about the relation between news and emotion?

    B.General COVID-related news may cause low spirits.

  • 3.It's a simple yet effective message that appeals,and leads to a satisfying way of motivating us to promote environmentalism in our own way.
        Born in Nairobi,Lesein Mutunkei is in his late teens,and his Trees4 Goals is the means with which he intends to make the world greener.It unites two of his self-declared passions in life:love of the outdoors,with his love of football.Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest,but recognized his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree coverage.Between 2001 and 2020,Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees,releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2.
        In a blog post for WWF Kenya,Lesein revealed that,once he started the Trees4 Goals initiative,he originally planned to plant one tree per goal.By 2020,he wanted to take his efforts even further.What started as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal.Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree-planting,he said, "It represents team effort in football and the contribution by my team.I have managed to hit the 1,000th tree milestone in the last two years."
        While it's something of an own goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity,innovative initiatives like Trees4 Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat-trick.Football is popular.It cuts through cultural barriers regardless of the country it is played in.By increasing the trees planted per goal,with more such initiatives springing up,even more will be grown.
        Like a seed,best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated.While Lesein continues planting 11 trees per goal,Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the planting of 1.8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage.The science behind is clear:if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees,the world can offset(抵消)half of all carbon released since 1960.
    (1)What gave Lesein the idea of launching the project?

    A.Release of too much CO2.
    B.Dream of motivating others.
    C.Passion for sports and nature.
    D.Habit of exercising in the woods.
    (2)What did Lesein do in 2020?

    A.He created a blog for WWF.
    B.He multiplied his commitment.
    C.He planted one tree for each goal.
    D.He extended his work to other teams.
    (3)What do the underlined words "own goal" in paragraph 4 refer to?

    A.Aim that is intended to achieve.
    B.Action that harms one's own interests.
    C.Pursuit toward which effort is directed.
    D.Goal that is scored for the opposing team.
    (4)What can we learn from Lesein's story?

    A.United,we win.
    B.No pains,no gains.
    C.Love me,love my dog.
    D.Small deeds,big difference.
