UNIT 2 Lessons in life
Ⅰ.阅读理解
（2025·江苏阶段练习）What strategy do you use to make tough life decisions like whether to end a relationship， quit your job， or go back to school？ Maybe you weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you go with your sixth sense. Or maybe， if you’re like most people， you simply do nothing. After all， we have a tendency to prefer the status quo （现状）， and focus more on the potential losses involved with change rather than the potential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy： When you’re indecisive about a big life decision， choose the path of change. That’s the takeaway of research recently published by Steven Levitt， an economist at the University of Chicago.
For the study， Levitt asked people who were facing tough decisions to flip （抛） a digital coin on the website Freakonomics . The coin tosses were randomized， with one side representing change， the other status quo. The study asked more than 20，000 participants to make whichever decision the coin toss directed， and then report back on how things played out after two and six months.
Of course， not everyone followed through. The two-month survey found that participants chose change less frequently than they had initially predicted they would. After six months， however， this tendency toward inaction disappeared. But most surprising were the results on wellbeing. At both the two and six-month marks， most people who chose change reported feeling happier， better off， and that they had made the correct decision.
The study had some limitations. One is that its participants weren’t selected randomly. Another limitation is that participants whose decision didn’t play out well might have been less likely to report back on their status after two and six months. Still， the study does suggest that people who are on the edge of a tough decision are probably better off going with change. Levitt isn’t suggesting you flip a coin to make all decisions. But coin-flipping does seem to have some benefits. Levitt notes that some people might prefer giving in to their fate to randomness in order to avoid regret. But you can also use randomness a bit more sensibly. When facing a tough decision， you could flip a coin and， upon seeing the outcome， notice whether you feel relief or fright. If you feel relieved， that’s probably the path you should choose.
1.What is most people’s priority when making hard choices？（ ）
A.Valuing potential benefits. B.Calculating potential losses.
C.Making a change to the status quo. D.Following inner voice of one’s mind.
2.What are the findings of the two surveys？（ ）
A.More participants remained inactive after six months.
B.Making changes brought most participants happiness.
C.Participants’ action agreed with their initial prediction.
D.All participants gave immediate feedback on their status.
3.What is a limitation of the study？ （ ）
A.The insufficiency of study statistics. B.The insensible outcome of the analysis.
C.The incorrect method of flipping a coin. D.The randomness of picking study subjects.
4.What is the main idea of the passage？ （ ）
A.Coin flips are beneficial to making hard choices.
B.A study offers a strategy for making hard decisions.
C.When facing a hard decision， choose the status quo.
D.A study justifies making hard choices with randomness.

Life teaches us many lessons as we grow older.I learned to not be so
pessimistic and anticipate the worst， but to hope for the best.Material
possessions provide little lasting happiness — it’s wise to value relationships.My friend and I lost touch after high school but were reunited years later.I thought our friendship was abnormal since we hadn’t talked for ages， but that’s widespread after graduation.He gained recognition at university before the high fees made him leave school.I absorbed the lesson to live purely and transparently， not chasing luxury or wealth.Tough times test us but despair solves nothing.Some lessons seem absurd but make us wiser.As the phrase says， “Life’s obstacles make the journey interesting.”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
（2025·江苏阶段练习）What strategy do you use to make tough
life decisions like whether to end a relationship， quit your job， or go
back to school？ Maybe you weigh the advantages and disadvantages.
Maybe you go with your sixth sense. Or maybe， if you’re like most
people， you simply do nothing. After all， we have a tendency to prefer
the status quo （现状）， and focus more on the potential losses involved
with change rather than the potential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy： When you’re indecisive about a
big life decision， choose the path of change. That’s the takeaway of
research recently published by Steven Levitt， an economist at the
University of Chicago.
For the study， Levitt asked people who were facing tough decisions
to flip （抛） a digital coin on the website Freakonomics
. The coin tosses were randomized， with one side
representing change， the other status quo. The study asked more than
20，000 participants to make whichever decision the coin toss directed，
and then report back on how things played out after two and six months.
Of course， not everyone followed through. The two-month survey
found that participants chose change less frequently than they had initially
predicted they would. After six months， however， this tendency toward
inaction disappeared. But most surprising were the results on wellbeing.
At both the two and six-month marks， most people who chose change
reported feeling happier， better off， and that they had made the correct
decision.
The study had some limitations. One is that its participants weren’t
selected randomly. Another limitation is that participants whose decision
didn’t play out well might have been less likely to report back on their
status after two and six months. Still， the study does suggest that people
who are on the edge of a tough decision are probably better off going with
change. Levitt isn’t suggesting you flip a coin to make all decisions. But
coin-flipping does seem to have some benefits. Levitt notes that some
people might prefer giving in to their fate to randomness in order to avoid
regret. But you can also use randomness a bit more sensibly.
When facing a tough decision， you could flip a coin and， upon seeing
the outcome， notice whether you feel relief or fright. If you feel relieved，
that’s probably the path you should choose.

（2025·山东名校考试联盟二模）When Shelby Lattimore， a
math and science teacher， saw her third graders weren’t attending
class， she found a fun way to change that.The 25-year-old teacher started
her class 5 to encourage them not only to 6 but to get excited
about learning.
In the class， students can choose from a variety of “ 7 ”，
from being a door holder to being a cleanup crew.They get “paid” every
two weeks and the 8 they get depends on which job they take on.The
money is not real but play money spent on a homework pass， a seat
change， and so on.
Each month， Lattimore’s students also have to pay “rent” for
their class desk and chair.To keep things interesting， Lattimore also
introduced a new 9 to her current class.At the beginning of the school
year， she 10 students $5 and then once the new year hit，
the 11 increased to $7.“So that was kind of an 12 that they had
to make，” she said.
Students can buy rewards once a month.The reward 13 low，
medium and high price ranges， with $2 candy being the cheapest option
to a more 14 $5 “lunch with Ms L” reward.Students can
also 15 until they have enough money for the most expensive
reward， for example， being the teacher for $30.
Today， Lattimore has seen how much they’ve learned about
various 16 from budgeting and saving to reading a receipt and 17
change.She has also heard from students’ families， who are 18 of
this idea because their kids are learning something they never learned at
this age.“That’s really the goal here， to not just 19 them this
year， but to keep it going，” she added.
