When I was about twelve, I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that particular night, the wind was really blowing. As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change. My mom immediately asked where they kept their things. They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car, which was the same size as my own family.
My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings. But she didn’t come.
Later, I found out she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn’t there when that part happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces.
A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change, she was the same age as me, yet we looked so different.
Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to dine in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remember thinking that the other girl didn’t have any food to eat. and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people.
After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mom had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned.

B Want to add some hours to your day? Ok，you probably can't change the fabric of time．But a new study suggests that the way you feel about your goal can change your concept of time and that some simple strategies could make you feel less rushed．
In a series of experiments，Jordan Etkin，a professor of marketing at Duke，and her co?authors，Loannis Evangelidis and Jennifer Aaker，looked at what happens when people see their goals as conflicting with one another．In one，they asked some participants to list two of their goals that they felt were in conflict，and others simply to list two of their goals．Those who were forced to think about conflicting aims felt more time pressure than those who weren't．In another experiment，the researchers gave participants a similar prompt regarding goal conflict，but this time measured their anxiety levels as well as their attitudes toward time．They found that participants who thought about conflicting goals had more anxiety than those who didn't，and that this，in turn，led to feelings of being short on time．
“Stress and anxiety and time pressure are closely linked concepts，” D．Etkin explained．“When we feel more stress and anxiety in relation to our personal goals，that manifests(表现) as a sense of having less time．”
Technological advances that allow people to do lots of things at once may increase the feeling of goal conflict，she said．
“I think the easier it is for us to try to deal with a lot of these things at the same time，” she said，“the more opportunity there is for us to feel this conflict between our goals．”
She isn't the first to suggest that actual busyness isn't the only thing that can make us feel busy．At the Atlantic，Derek Thompson wrote that “as a country，we're working less than we did in the 1960s and 1980s．” He offered a number of possible reasons some Americans still feel so overworked，including “the fluidness(不固定性) of work and leisure．” As he put it:
“The idea that work begins and ends at the office is wrong．On the one hand，flexibility is nice．On the other，mixing work and leisure together creates an always?on expectation that makes it hard for white?collar workers to escape the shadow of work responsibilities．”
And Brigid Schulte writes in her 2014 book Overwhelmed: How to Work，Love，and Play When No One Has the Time that some researchers believe “time has no sharp edges．What often matters more than the activity we're doing at a moment in time，they have found，is how we feel about it．
Our_concept_of_time_is,_indeed,_our_reality．”
Fortunately，Dr．Etkin and her team did find ways of making us feel better about time—or，at least，of reducing the negative influence of goal conflict．When participants performed a breathing exercise that reduced their anxiety，the impact of such conflict on their perception of time was less pronounced．Reframing anxiety as excitement (by reading the phrase “I am excited！” aloud several times) had a similar effect．
Breathing and reframing may not solve everyone's time problems—Ms．Schulte writes that some Americans are indeed working more than they used to．She cites the work of the sociologists Michael Hout and Caroline Hanley，who have “found that working parents combined put in 13 more hours a week on the job in 2000 than they did in 1970．That's 676 hours of additionally paid work a year for a family．And that's on top all the unpaid hours spent caring for children and keeping the house together．” Sometimes，we may feel short on time because we actually are．However，Dr．Etkin believes her findings suggest we may “have the ability to influence our experience of time more than we think we do．”
“We're all going to have times in our lives when our goals seem to be in more conflict than others，” she said．But with techniques like the ones her team tested，“we really can help ourselves feel like we have more time．”
1.What makes people feel rushed today?
A．Goal conflict．
B．High pressure．
C．Too much expectation．
D．Lack of exercise．
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most people are having less work to do nowadays．
B．People under a lot of stress have a better sense of time．
C．Technological advances allow people to feel less stressed．
D．The flexibility of work increases white?collar workers' pressure．
3.The underlined sentence “Our concept of time is，indeed，our reality．” means ________．
A．we should make full use of time
B．we value time more than the way we live
C．we can feel better about time if we want to
D．we don't have the time to enjoy life in reality

Don’t you hate it when someone snubs（冷落）you by looking at their phone instead of paying attention? The word “Phubbing”, which comes from “phone” and “snub”, describes such behavior . With popularization of smart phones, we see a new "Phubbing" group everywhere in public places: in subway, restaurants, roads, people are checking the mobile phone, ignoring the people around completely. What is worrying us is that not only young people, but also the elderly and kids are getting addicted（上瘾）to Phubbing.
On Dec 29th, a 28-year-old woman—a mother of two in Wenzhou, drowned after she fell into a river while looking at her mobile phone. A Pakistani man was killed on Dec 15th, 2015, after being hit by a fast moving train while trying to take a selfie (自拍)with it on the track. Last month, Justin, a college student was shot in subway in San Francisco, the U.S. The surveillance(监控)video showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out the gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed that. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.
Phone is the tool for communication, but now it distances people and makes them separated from each other. Therefore, someone jokes “the furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but that you don’t know I stand in front of you while you focus on the mobile.”
Phubbing appears harmless; however, it does affect our life. 23-year-old Alex from Melbourne wrote in his blog: "I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops a lot as a result."
1.The author gives several examples in Para.2 to_______.
A. show the phubbing people are dangerous.
B. tell people the bad effects of phubbing
C. say phubbing is more and more popular.
D. warn people not to use phones any more.
2.The author wants to tell us in the passage that______.
A. Kids shouldn’t use phones
B. it’s time for us to stop phubbing
C. Phubbing distances people
D. phubbing can cause accidents
3.What may the passage talk about next?
A. Ways to stay away from phubbing
B. People who are addicted to phubbing
C. Possible reasons for phubbing
D. Advice on how to use a cell phone

An Extension of the Human Brain
Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺)，much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “social prosthetic (义肢的）system.” Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.
Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites.
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. For example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a “ new idea,” I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views clearer. Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.
These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).
But that’s the upside (好处).The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.
