What Would You Want Most on a Desert Island This month's survey shows people worldwide have a natural understanding of what they would need most if left alone on a desert island: Another person. And one they know well. Respondents in all 16 countries surveyed said their spouse (配偶) or partner would be their first choice to have with them. Perhaps this makes sense: An MP3 player can't help you find drinking water, your dog can't help you start a fire and who knows if George Clooney or Penelope Cruz has taken courses in wilderness survival training Let's just hope the SOS sign you two build gets spotted sooner rather than later!
“My husband, of course! George Clooney wouldn't think I'm as pretty as my husband does!” Roseane,42, Brazil “My MP3 player. I would not want my loved ones, including my pet, to be left alone like this.” Lin Xi,28, China “My partner should be there to listen to me complain about the fact that we are left alone on an island - probably due to some errors he made.” Julia,25, Jordan
Spouse/ Partner 82% of the South African women surveyed would most want their husband partner with them, while just 45% of the Indian women surveyed agreed. Clooney/ Cruz 27% of Russian men surveyed would want a celebrity along. Only2% of the Mexican men agreed. Less than 18% of women worldwide chose this option.
MP3 Player This was second choice overall, particularly among Malaysian men, with 32% saying dog, they'd most want an MP3 player with their favorite songs. Just 5% each of Australian and American men agreed. Dog In France, 28% of respondents older than 45 would most want to be left alone with their dog, while not a single Russian or Malaysian in that age group surveyed would most want Fido along.

One spring morning many years ago, I was on southeastern Alaska's Kupreanof Island when I saw a huge wolf caught in a trap. From her appearance, I realized it was a mother wolf and that somewhere hungry pups(小崽) were waiting for her. I guessed she had been trapped only a few days. So her pups were probably still alive, hungry, surely no more than a few miles away. But I thought if I released the wolf, she would tear me to pieces.
So I decided to search for her pups instead. Following some footprints, I finally found four tiny pups. One by one, I placed them in a bag and headed back. When the mother wolf spotted me, she stood up, possibly picking up the smell of her young. I released the pups, and they raced to her.
What next I wondered. The mother wolf was clearly suffering. Yet each time I moved in her direction, she let out a threatening sound.
I put up a shelter for myself and was soon asleep nearby. At dawn, I was awakened by the four pups sniffing at my face and hands. I glanced toward the anxious mother wolf. If only I could win her confidence, I thought. It was her only hope. Over the next few days,I fed her, talked gently with her and played with the
pups. But the big animal never took her eyes off me. When I was beginning to lose hope, at dusk on the fifth day, I saw a wagging(摇摆) of her tail. I moved within the length of her chain. She remained still. My heart in my mouth, I slowly placed my hand on the wolf's injured leg. “OK,” I said, “We’ ll have you out of there.” I pressed and the trap sprang open, the wolf pulled free.
Slowly, she headed toward me. She smelled my hands and arms and then began licking my fingers. I was astonished. This went against everything I'd ever heard about wolves. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural.

7. What can we learn form the passage
A. Creatures are born equal. B. Mother should be responsible.

We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories(配饰), hear everything from“No one is going to miss you at the party” to“I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.
Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive(繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that ch roma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-ch roma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock's tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.
8. What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage
A. The cultural implications of high ch roma colors.
B. The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.
C. The connection between clothing and job suitability.
D. The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.
9. What does the underlined phrase“capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Make use of. B. Approve of. C. Give up. D. Take over.
10. Which might be a limitation of the study
A. The culturally specific findings. B. The unmonitored research process.
C. The outdated data analysis methods. D. The relatively weak theoretical basis.
11. What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph
A. Reserve bright colors for social events. B. Always wear bright colors to be noticed.
C. Avoid bright colors in professional settings. D. Use bright colors strategicauy vascu u n your goals.

Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past.
As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian(叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines.
Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”.
That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’ s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion.
When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I' ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren't as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they' re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life.
12. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with
A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life.
C. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D. Simplicity is outdated in modern times.
13. What was the primary reason for Thoreau's withdrawing from city life
A. To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time.
B. To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece.
C. To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology.
D. To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose.
14. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text
A. Theoretical models. B. Popular beliefs. C. Practical measures. D. Realistic analyses.
15. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To praise the overuse of 21st-century modern technology.
B. To illustrate Thoreau's ideas on simple living in the modern context.
C. To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles.
D. To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being.

Are you an“I person” or an“E person” 16 These two personality labels in particular are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. 17 All of the results have four letters, and there are 16 results in total. “I” and“E” refer to“introverted” and“extroverted”, respectively.
Even if someone is typically quiet and shy, many online discussions suggest that an“T” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an“E” person.
According to psychologists, this idea of temporarily switching personalities is called“masking”.18 Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so.
Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone's personality seems fun. 19 The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself, and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that's all it is, for fun. Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person. 20
A. How can you find the answer to the question
B. However, do not go too far or take it too seriously.
C. That is hiding your true personality in specific situations.
D. And those four letters of yours don't define(定义) who you are.
E. But no one personality type is best or better than another.
F. Have you heard someone describe themselves as an INTJ or an ESTP
G. It is a self-report list to identify a person's personality, strengths, and preferences.
