A man came home from work late，tired and irritated（不耐烦的）, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

“Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.

“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

“That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.

“I just want to know. Please tell me，how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”

The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.

“No, daddy, I'm awake,” replied the boy.

“I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It's been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here's the $10 you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, daddy!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled(皱皱巴巴的) up bills.

My fourth-grader came home from school crying recently, after discovering that she hadn’t been invited to a birthday party. I wanted to join in her pity party.

I, too, had just seen pictures of a gathering on social media. I was asleep by 9:00 that night, unaware of all the fun things that were happening.

I always assumed that FOMO (fear of missing out) was a feeling reserved for kids and teens. But FOMO affects every age group. In fact, there’s a scientific explanation for FOMO: Our survival as a species is based on being included in group activities. In order to survive, we must share resources and work as a team.

In a 2018 study published in Motivation and Emotion, researchers found that FOMO is felt by everyone, regardless of their personality. And while FOMO was originally based on survival, today it is associated with sleep problems, fatigue and stress.

When scrolling through social media, we see the best versions of people’s lives and we think we should be doing something to feel more fulfilled and satisfied, instead of focusing on activities that actually give us joy, said Meha Agrawal, founder and CEO of Silk & Sonder, a self-care and mental wellness subscription experience for women.

Cutting back on your social media time would help curtail your FOMO feelings. But you can also decide to change your thinking. “You always get to choose your thoughts,” said Vikki Louise, an anxiety coach. “The concept of missing out is subjective: You always decide if you are missing out.”

Additionally, connecting with the reasons you chose not to participate and owning your choice can go a long way, said Adi Jaffe, mental health expert and lecturer at UCLA. This is true even if you didn’t actually make the choice to be excluded.

1.How did the author reacted to her daughter’s incident?

A.She didn’t approve of her daughter’s sadness.

B.She wanted to throw a party for her daughter.

C.She herself wanted to cry about missing fun things.

D.She tried to comfort and cheer up her daughter.

2.How do scientists explain the reason for FOMO?

A.People want to do more in their work or personal lives.

B.People would like to feel more fulfilled and satisfied.

C.Joining others in more fun activities is human nature.

D.Being included is originally a need for survival.

3.How do FOMO feelings affect people?

A.It can lead to sleep issues and stress.

B.It helps us achieve more in work and life.

C.It gives us joy and a sense of belonging.

D.It makes people do more fulfilling things.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.My Forth-Grader’s Pity Party B.Feelings Helping Humans Survive

C.The Scientific Explanation for FOMO D.FOMO: Reasons, Effect and Solution

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

My six-year-old came home from school this week with two envelopes. One was for a donation to help people in the Philippines. The other was to help hungry families have a Thanksgiving meal.

“I’ll put a check in each of these. Then you can add your own money from your piggy bank, okay?” I said, thinking he’d be so excited to put his own stamp on things.

“That’s okay, mom. You put money in. I don’t want to waste mine,” he sweetly sang as he colored. “I want to fill my bank all the way up.”

Ack! I guess I know what our dinnertime discussion will be about tonight, I thought.

I had figured that through watching his parents donate items, helping us take toys from time to time to needy kids and putting money in the basket at church, he would just understand why it was important to help people in need — and even want to do it himself.

But of course he doesn’t really understand yet. “There’s a big disconnect between the people ‘over there’ and my piggy bank,” said parenting educator Vicki Hoefle.

“There’s nothing wrong with the child. There’s just no connection.”

As for having that conversation immediately, or forcing my son to put money into the envelopes: “Try not to do it now,” Hoefle said. Teaching a child about donating their own money or toys or time to people in need “should be a gentle introduction into what we hope will be a way of life for our kids.”

She suggested these things to help children understand the importance of giving:

* Just talk about it. Then explore the issue from a perspective he can understand.

* Use the course of a year to introduce kids to opportunities. That way, they won’t be shocked when you ask them to stuff their own money into an envelope （like this writer just did）.

* Pick a family charity for the year and have a conversation about how you all can help throughout the year.

* Think of this not as something you must teach, but as something to expose them to.

At her house, Hoefle said, “When you got something new, you gave something up.” Each birthday, her children would pick what toys they had outgrown and give them away. “There was a comfort in it. It just became a natural part of the kids’ lives.”

So I will fill those envelopes alone this time. But I’ll make sure he understands why they should be filled—gradually.

1.When the writer asked her son to give money to help the poor, he __________.

A. declined to donate

B. sang a sweet song

C. put all his money in a bank

D. seemed very surprised

2.Hoefle’s attitude towards children’s unwillingness to donate money can be best described as “_______”.

A. critical            B. tolerant            C. positive            D. worried

3.Which of the following is Hoefle’s approach to educating kids about charity?

A. Giving courses about charity.

B. Setting a rule for children to give.

C. Inviting a lot of poor people home.

D. Giving children enough real life chances.

4.What can we learn about the writer from the passage?

A. She often makes donations for people in need.

B. She taught her son a lesson over dinner that evening.

C. She is at a loss as for what she should do next.

D. She invited a parenting educator home for advice.

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Kids, please help those in need.

B. Why are kids unwilling to donate?

C. Kindness is lost in the young generation.

D. How can we help kids learn generosity?

One cold day last November, my wife and I came home from work to a sick young daughter and we decided to stay at home for the night. Problem was, we had two tickets to see Miranda July, the performance artist, being interviewed at the Herbst Theatre. We decided to sell them online for ＄50. One hour before the event, a guy named Peter called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets. Since the time was limited, I told Peter to pay me the next day. Peter seemed touched and we said a fond goodbye.

However, a month later, Peter still didn’t pay me back. A few more weeks passed. Another month. There’d been one e-mail promising to mail the check, then silence.

Maybe he was having a hard time, I thought. But truth was, Peter seemed to be having a pretty normal time. According to the pictures and messages on his Facebook, he had been playing golf, dancing happily with his friends, and traveling on a boat. But he just refused to answer my calls, or reply to my e-mails or messages. So I tried reaching him with my wife’s phone one night. And he didn’t pick up when I called,but texted right back, playfully wondering who might be calling him.

“You should go to his office,”my wife said, “He would have to give you the money if all his coworkers were watching.”

But I didn’t want to become a debt collector. My efforts to reach Peter over these months had been light and I wanted to keep it that way. My initial exchange with Peter had been just two regular people agreeing to handle things humanly. There was a rare niceness in that, and I still wanted to keep that balloon in the air, however disappointing it was starting to look. I wanted to believe we could still trust each other.

1.For what reason did the author and his wife decide to sell the ticket?

A. They thought it was too cold that night.

B. They needed to look after their daughter.

C. They wanted to save some money.

D. They were going to be interviewed.

2.On the night the author sold his tickets to Peter, he　　　　　 .

A. knew he might not get the ＄50.　　 B. felt a little hesitant.

C. thought he could trust Peter.　　 D. was moved by Peter’s kindness.

3.Why didn’t Peter pay the author back?

A. Because he didn’t remember it.　　 B. Because he was too busy to pay.

C. Because he didn’t want to pay.　　 D. Because he was having a tough time.

4.What can we infer about the author?

A. He would never trust strangers.

B. He might call the police for help.

C. He would go to Peter’s office to talk to him.

D. He still hoped Peter would pay him back.
