All of their stories, and dozens more, are collected in a new book by two Canadian authors. It took Heather Down and Catherine Kenwell just a little more than seven weeks to collect the stories behind the 49 uplifting moments they recorded during the pandemic.
The book includes everything from the tale of Robbie Griffiths, the father from Paradise, N. L. who dressed up as Spider-Man so kids could have something positive in their day, to Carter Mann, the Grade 5 student from Sudbury, Ont, who wrote a poem to encourage front-line heroes including his own father, who is a health carer.
“Not Canceled: Canadian Caremongering in the Face of COVID-19” is a reminder that a lot of positive things happened during lockdown. The book’s title is a nod to the Canadian attitude and reaction to the pandemic, as the word “caremongering” has Canadian roots. Even the number of stories is no accident: it’s a reference to the 49th parallel, along which runs the Canada-U. S. border between Manitoba and B. C.
One of the stories in “Not Canceled” centers on the marriage of a couple in B. C. They may have had to shift their celebrations to a living room, but the ceremony was far from lonely. Friends showed up in their cars outside, with everyone tuned into the same radio station, so the bride and groom could have their first dance in the middle of the street.
Down wanted to document how the nation navigated such dark times with kindness. She told CTV News that “the response has been amazing. I’m so pleased.”
The stories included in the book are just the tip of the iceberg. Down says that there are so many stories left over that she and Kenwell might just have to do a second book.
4．What does the underlined word “uplifting” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Inspiring. B. Embarrassing. C. Mysterious. D. Humorous.
5．What is the tale of Carter Mann
A. He trained hard to become a health carer.
B. He wrote poems with the help of his father.
C. He used words to cheer up essential workers.
D. He dressed up as Spider-Man to please other kids.
6．What can be inferred about the title of the book
A. It shows Canadian attitude and response.
B. It shows the total number of the stories.
C. It has the new-made word “caremongering”.
D. It contains Canada’s geographical information.
7．What happened during the wedding ceremony in B. C.
A. It was canceled halfway.
B. It was held completely indoor.
C. It was witnessed by a group of friends.
D. It was broadcast live by a radio station.
The middle class in Uganda is on the increase. So is the country’s tourism industry. The growth of restaurants and high-end hotels is evidence that both foreigners and Ugandans are spending money. But the owners of these businesses have often had to turn to other countries to find executive chefs (行政总厨) . The reason: a lack of well-trained chefs and other assistants at Ugandan restaurants. Slowly but surely, this is changing.
Uganda has a problem not normally found in a low-income country. It has a shortage of local chefs. In recent years, the number of restaurants and tourism-related businesses has risen. As a result, the demand for well-trained cooks and other assistants has grown. But experienced chefs are difficult to find. Jean Byamugisha is in the Uganda Hotel Owners Association. “The biggest challenge is capacity building. People really need a lot of training, especially now that we are competing to reach East African level.”
To meet the need, many restaurants have turned to neighboring countries for help. Enock Alumasi is from Kenya. He saw that Uganda had a lack of top chefs. So he helped set up the Impact Chefs Academy in 2013. The academy is the only school in Uganda that offers a full training program for chefs. It offers a number of program-starting with one-week courses for those who already have a career in the restaurant industry, to a year-long training program.
One recent day, several students were learning the different ways to fry an egg. This may sound like something that comes naturally to a chef. But some workers have never cooked an egg before. Brian Kazibe has worked as a chef. He says that some trainees have learned about five different areas of restaurant operations over three months. “By the time they get to the kitchen,” he says, “they only remain for two or three weeks, which is not really enough for them.”
The Impact Chef’s Academy has trained more than 3, 000 people in the past two years. Jean Byaugisha says that the need is still growing. “The impact is not yet felt. One week’s training for a chef is too short. We need somebody who can come for two months, six months, nine months and train the chefs and release somebody who can actually come to the restaurant or a hotel and prepare a meal that everybody will fall over themselves to pay for.” However, the academy has gotten a taste of success; it looks forward to expanding.

The halo effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) that affects our opinions of quality in products, brands, businesses or people. It describes our tendency to judge a wider concept on our experience of a single moment or interaction. That is, your experience of using a product may colour your impression of an entire brand.
This is a very surface-level, quick-fire response that’s deep in our mind. If we see a good or bad quality, we really can’t help thinking this “thing” must flow through to the rest of the person, business or brand. Marketers understand this and have been using it against you for years.
Advertisers want to back winners, especially those on big stages. The Olympics, the World Cup and the Super Bowl all attract huge amounts of advertising spend. Why Because when sports stars win big, they create huge amounts of feel-good factors and a brand can use the halo effect to project some of those feel-good factors onto themselves.
Studies have shown that when a product has a label that it is either fair trade, sustainably sourced or organic in nature, it will receive higher ratings in customer satisfaction and people will pay more for it. In a blind taste test though, that’s not necessarily the case. The product could be considered poor in taste or quality, but the act of adding a certain label to the packaging increases people’s liking for it.
The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is looking to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.
12．How does the halo effect influence our opinions
A. It helps us see things in a better way.
B. It deepens our understanding of things.
C. It stops us from jumping to conclusions.
D. It works on us through former experience.
13．Why do advertisers back winners of big events
A. To use halo effect to attract more audience.
B. To contribute to the development of sports.
C. To connect their brands with positive emotions.
D. To drive sports stars to create feel-good factors.
14．What can be inferred about the halo effect from Paragraph 4
A. It leads to false advertisements.
B. It results in incorrect judgments.
C. It ensures the quality of products.
D. It improves environmental protection.
15．What is the purpose of the last part of the text
A. To warn of unplanned buying.
B. To summarize the halo effect.
C. To expose the influence of advertising.
D. To show modern marketing strategies.

If you are constantly lack of confidence and worried about what other people think about your shortcomings, you will never get to where you need to go in life. This was what I learned from my own experience.
My name is Peter. Before I was born, the doctors examined my mom and found there was something wrong with my face, and actually it was worse. With my “weird” face, I knew I was not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I had never been to a real school before, not because of the way I looked, but all the surgeries I had. Mom homeschooled me. I became stronger, though. So maybe it was time for me to go to the real school.
One day, I happened to hear Mom and Dad talking about me quietly. “We can’t keep protecting him.” Mom whispered to Dad, “We have to help him learn to deal with it. We can’t just keep avoiding situations that… ”, but she didn’t even finish her sentence because she saw me. “Go back to sleep, Peter,” Mom said softly.
“Everyone will stare at me at school,” I said, suddenly crying.
Mom came over, putting her hand on mine. “Honey, you know if you don’t want to do this, you don’t have to. But we spoke to the principal (校长) , Mr. Green and told him how funny and smart you are. When I told him about all your surgeries, and how brave you are, ‘Wow, I have to meet this kid.’ ” Mom smiled at me.
“He is really a nice man. Besides, a real school is really good for you. Peter, you will make lots of friends and learn things you have never learned with Mom.” Dad added, raising his hand as if to swear.
“But… I don’t want to go. I am afraid... ” I said in a low voice.
“How about at least meeting Mr. Green before you make up your mind ” Mom asked.
I nodded, unwilling to accept the arrangement.

15．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is looking to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.(光环效应是我们无法摆脱的偏见。它在现代世界中无处不在。你体验到的每一个高端产品都会给你留下持久的印象，每一个吸引你眼球的广告都在试图把你的注意力引向你可能不感兴趣的东西。作为消费者，要小心。有些企业会在任何程度上影响你的行为。下次当你发现自己真的很想要某样东西时，停下来问问自己为什么)”可知，该段主要说明作为消费者，无法摆脱光环效应的影响，所以当自己想买某样东西时，要三思而后行，故该段主要警告我们要警惕无计划的购买行为。故选A项。

We arrived at the school a few weeks before the start of the school.

After shaking hands with us, he proposed that we take a tour in the school first. Mr. Green patiently introduced the science lab, the art room, the modern classroom and the lunchroom, which were really attractive. After that, we went to his office. Mr. Green stared into my eyes as if seeing my innerself locked away inside. He knelt down in front of me, patted me on the shoulder and said softly, “Peter, I know you are a smart and brave boy. Don’t let your inner fear defeat you. Face it bravely! ”
Paragraph 2:
After taking a tour of the school and hearing Mr. Green’s words, I realized it was time to make a change.

After seconds of silence, I nodded my head confidently, saying “Mr. Green, I want to, no, I am determined to study in this school. I will try my best to adapt to the life here.” Looking at me with a big and bright smile on face, Mr. Green said “I do believe in you!” Hearing what I said, my mom also couldn’t hold back her tears of joy, hugging me delightedly. It finally dawned on me that only when I have confidence in myself can I conquer the fear. Remember to hold your head up.

All of their stories, and dozens more, are collected in a new book by two Canadian authors. It took Heather Down and Catherine Kenwell just a little more than seven weeks to collect the stories behind the 49 uplifting moments they recorded during the pandemic.
The book includes everything from the tale of Robbie Griffiths, the father from Paradise, N. L. who dressed up as Spider-Man so kids could have something positive in their day, to Carter Mann, the Grade 5 student from Sudbury, Ont, who wrote a poem to encourage front-line heroes including his own father, who is a health carer.
“Not Canceled: Canadian Caremongering in the Face of COVID-19” is a reminder that a lot of positive things happened during lockdown. The book’s title is a nod to the Canadian attitude and reaction to the pandemic, as the word “caremongering” has Canadian roots. Even the number of stories is no accident: it’s a reference to the 49th parallel, along which runs the Canada-U. S. border between Manitoba and B. C.
One of the stories in “Not Canceled” centers on the marriage of a couple in B. C. They may have had to shift their celebrations to a living room, but the ceremony was far from lonely. Friends showed up in their cars outside, with everyone tuned into the same radio station, so the bride and groom could have their first dance in the middle of the street.
Down wanted to document how the nation navigated such dark times with kindness. She told CTV News that “the response has been amazing. I’m so pleased.”
The stories included in the book are just the tip of the iceberg. Down says that there are so many stories left over that she and Kenwell might just have to do a second book.
4．What does the underlined word “uplifting” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Inspiring. B. Embarrassing. C. Mysterious. D. Humorous.
5．What is the tale of Carter Mann
A. He trained hard to become a health carer.
B. He wrote poems with the help of his father.
C. He used words to cheer up essential workers.
D. He dressed up as Spider-Man to please other kids.
6．What can be inferred about the title of the book
A. It shows Canadian attitude and response.
B. It shows the total number of the stories.
C. It has the new-made word “caremongering”.
D. It contains Canada’s geographical information.
7．What happened during the wedding ceremony in B. C.
A. It was canceled halfway.
B. It was held completely indoor.
C. It was witnessed by a group of friends.
D. It was broadcast live by a radio station.
The middle class in Uganda is on the increase. So is the country’s tourism industry. The growth of restaurants and high-end hotels is evidence that both foreigners and Ugandans are spending money. But the owners of these businesses have often had to turn to other countries to find executive chefs (行政总厨) . The reason: a lack of well-trained chefs and other assistants at Ugandan restaurants. Slowly but surely, this is changing.
Uganda has a problem not normally found in a low-income country. It has a shortage of local chefs. In recent years, the number of restaurants and tourism-related businesses has risen. As a result, the demand for well-trained cooks and other assistants has grown. But experienced chefs are difficult to find. Jean Byamugisha is in the Uganda Hotel Owners Association. “The biggest challenge is capacity building. People really need a lot of training, especially now that we are competing to reach East African level.”
To meet the need, many restaurants have turned to neighboring countries for help. Enock Alumasi is from Kenya. He saw that Uganda had a lack of top chefs. So he helped set up the Impact Chefs Academy in 2013. The academy is the only school in Uganda that offers a full training program for chefs. It offers a number of program-starting with one-week courses for those who already have a career in the restaurant industry, to a year-long training program.
One recent day, several students were learning the different ways to fry an egg. This may sound like something that comes naturally to a chef. But some workers have never cooked an egg before. Brian Kazibe has worked as a chef. He says that some trainees have learned about five different areas of restaurant operations over three months. “By the time they get to the kitchen,” he says, “they only remain for two or three weeks, which is not really enough for them.”
The Impact Chef’s Academy has trained more than 3, 000 people in the past two years. Jean Byaugisha says that the need is still growing. “The impact is not yet felt. One week’s training for a chef is too short. We need somebody who can come for two months, six months, nine months and train the chefs and release somebody who can actually come to the restaurant or a hotel and prepare a meal that everybody will fall over themselves to pay for.” However, the academy has gotten a taste of success; it looks forward to expanding.
8．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs

B. Tourism is Uganda’s main source of GDP.
C. Visitors go to Uganda mainly for its foods.
D. Uganda’s economy develops at a high speed.

A. It mainly trains students to fry eggs.
B. It provides courses different in length.
C. It employs teachers from neighboring countries.
D. It was set up by Enock Alumasi in Kenya in 2013.
10．In the past two years, the Impact Chef’s Academy ________.
A. has gained success to some extent

C. has set up a series of chain training schools
D. has only opened short-term classes for 3 months

The halo effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) that affects our opinions of quality in products, brands, businesses or people. It describes our tendency to judge a wider concept on our experience of a single moment or interaction. That is, your experience of using a product may colour your impression of an entire brand.
This is a very surface-level, quick-fire response that’s deep in our mind. If we see a good or bad quality, we really can’t help thinking this “thing” must flow through to the rest of the person, business or brand. Marketers understand this and have been using it against you for years.
Advertisers want to back winners, especially those on big stages. The Olympics, the World Cup and the Super Bowl all attract huge amounts of advertising spend. Why Because when sports stars win big, they create huge amounts of feel-good factors and a brand can use the halo effect to project some of those feel-good factors onto themselves.
Studies have shown that when a product has a label that it is either fair trade, sustainably sourced or organic in nature, it will receive higher ratings in customer satisfaction and people will pay more for it. In a blind taste test though, that’s not necessarily the case. The product could be considered poor in taste or quality, but the act of adding a certain label to the packaging increases people’s liking for it.
The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is looking to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.
12．How does the halo effect influence our opinions
A. It helps us see things in a better way.
B. It deepens our understanding of things.
C. It stops us from jumping to conclusions.
D. It works on us through former experience.
13．Why do advertisers back winners of big events
A. To use halo effect to attract more audience.
B. To contribute to the development of sports.
C. To connect their brands with positive emotions.
D. To drive sports stars to create feel-good factors.
14．What can be inferred about the halo effect from Paragraph 4
A. It leads to false advertisements.
B. It results in incorrect judgments.
C. It ensures the quality of products.
D. It improves environmental protection.
15．What is the purpose of the last part of the text
A. To warn of unplanned buying.
B. To summarize the halo effect.
C. To expose the influence of advertising.
D. To show modern marketing strategies.

If you are constantly lack of confidence and worried about what other people think about your shortcomings, you will never get to where you need to go in life. This was what I learned from my own experience.
My name is Peter. Before I was born, the doctors examined my mom and found there was something wrong with my face, and actually it was worse. With my “weird” face, I knew I was not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I had never been to a real school before, not because of the way I looked, but all the surgeries I had. Mom homeschooled me. I became stronger, though. So maybe it was time for me to go to the real school.
One day, I happened to hear Mom and Dad talking about me quietly. “We can’t keep protecting him.” Mom whispered to Dad, “We have to help him learn to deal with it. We can’t just keep avoiding situations that… ”, but she didn’t even finish her sentence because she saw me. “Go back to sleep, Peter,” Mom said softly.
“Everyone will stare at me at school,” I said, suddenly crying.
Mom came over, putting her hand on mine. “Honey, you know if you don’t want to do this, you don’t have to. But we spoke to the principal (校长) , Mr. Green and told him how funny and smart you are. When I told him about all your surgeries, and how brave you are, ‘Wow, I have to meet this kid.’ ” Mom smiled at me.
“He is really a nice man. Besides, a real school is really good for you. Peter, you will make lots of friends and learn things you have never learned with Mom.” Dad added, raising his hand as if to swear.
“But… I don’t want to go. I am afraid... ” I said in a low voice.
“How about at least meeting Mr. Green before you make up your mind ” Mom asked.
I nodded, unwilling to accept the arrangement.

14．答案：B

In a blind taste test though, that’s not necessarily the case. The product could be considered poor in taste or quality, but the act of adding a certain label to the packaging increases people’s liking for it.(研究表明，当一个产品有一个标签，无论是公平贸易，可持续来源或有机的性质，它将获得更高的客户满意度评级，人们会花更多的钱。但在盲品测试中，情况并非如此。该产品可能被认为味道或质量差，但在包装上添加某种标签的行为增加了人们对它的喜爱)”可知，在商品包装上添加某种标签会增加人们对其喜爱程度，尽管该产品可能质量不好，说明光环效应会导致不正确的判断。故选B项。
15．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is looking to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.(光环效应是我们无法摆脱的偏见。它在现代世界中无处不在。你体验到的每一个高端产品都会给你留下持久的印象，每一个吸引你眼球的广告都在试图把你的注意力引向你可能不感兴趣的东西。作为消费者，要小心。有些企业会在任何程度上影响你的行为。下次当你发现自己真的很想要某样东西时，停下来问问自己为什么)”可知，该段主要说明作为消费者，无法摆脱光环效应的影响，所以当自己想买某样东西时，要三思而后行，故该段主要警告我们要警惕无计划的购买行为。故选A项。

解析：①考查动词时态。句意：他们选择租一辆公共汽车。分析句子结构可知，空处缺谓语动词，根据“did”可知，描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填chose。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：回首10月5日的婚礼，新娘杨乐儿说，她仍然为这次乘坐公交车结婚的经历感到高兴，这给婚礼增添了特殊的意义。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“said”，故空处需填非谓语动词，“Yang Le’er”和“look”之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填Looking。
③考查定语从句。句意：回首10月5日的婚礼，新娘杨乐儿说，她仍然为这次乘坐公交车结婚的经历感到高兴，这给婚礼增添了特殊的意义。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句缺主语，先行词是“the bus experience”，故用关系代词which引导。故填which。

⑥考查名词。句意：虽然我的父母没有唱歌，但他们被这种气氛所吸引，并没有表现出传统的女儿结婚的悲伤。根据“the traditional”可知，空处需填名词，sadness作名词，表示“悲伤”，表示抽象含义，是不可数名词。故填sadness。

Paragraph 1:
We arrived at the school a few weeks before the start of the school. I admitted that I was so nervous that the butterflies in my stomach were more like pigeons flying around my insides before I saw Mr. Green, who was waiting for us at the entrance. After shaking hands with us, he proposed that we take a tour in the school first. Mr. Green patiently introduced the science lab, the art room, the modern classroom and the lunchroom, which were really attractive. After that, we went to his office. Mr. Green stared into my eyes as if seeing my innerself locked away inside. He knelt down in front of me, patted me on the shoulder and said softly, “Peter, I know you are a smart and brave boy. Don’t let your inner fear defeat you. Face it bravely! ”
Paragraph 2:
After taking a tour of the school and hearing Mr. Green’s words, I realized it was time to make a change. I made up my mind to throw off my fear and shortcomings and learn more interesting things in the new school. After seconds of silence, I nodded my head confidently, saying “Mr. Green, I want to, no, I am determined to study in this school. I will try my best to adapt to the life here.” Looking at me with a big and bright smile on face, Mr. Green said “I do believe in you!” Hearing what I said, my mom also couldn’t hold back her tears of joy, hugging me delightedly. It finally dawned on me that only when I have confidence in myself can I conquer the fear. Remember to hold your head up.
