22、n north Italy, and guests were provided with a car and driver for the 90-minute journey into the hills. That was exciting: A private car! I could pretend I was rich! Since Im not, though, I had no idea how much this trip actually cost. As a result, after our driver picked us back up at midnight, I s

23、ecretly worried all the way home about tipping him.I fished around nervously in my purse and realized that all I had was a $100 note, which I was keeping for an emergency. I had nothing smaller. And I had nothing else to offer but two chocolates from the wedding. So, I could tip the driver that $100

24、 note or two chocolates. In the end, I chose the money. The whole matter of tipping has long been a source of awkward interactions and, for some travellers, mild anxiety throughout the world. Tipping customs vary wildly from country to country. A friend in Rome tells me that Italians get hurt by big

25、 tips. “Leaving a big tip is considered impolite,” she adds, “Ive had Italian friends make me take money back.” It reminded me of my 100-dollar tip. What if I had annoyed the driver? So I decided to call the car company and ask them to pass on a message to the driver apologizing for the improper tip

26、 and explaining the situation. To my surprise, the car company responded that the driver had actually called to express his gratitude for the unexpected big tip. He had apparently been having a tough week and the money had come at just the right time.I was astonished. All my worry had been for nothi

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.D. A penny saved is a penny earned.CRecently, a new discovery has been made in the field of biology

31、that challenges our previous understanding of the origins of life on Earth. For decades, scientists believed that life emerged in a warm, shallow pond, where a series of chemical reactions led to the creation of the first living cells. However, a team of researchers has now uncovered evidence that s

32、uggests life may have actually begun in a quite different environment.The discovery was made in a remote part of the ocean, where a team of scientists was exploring a hydrothermal vent (深海热泉) system located deep beneath the surface. Hydrothermal vents release superheated water and gases from the Ear

33、ths mantle (地幔). They create an extreme environment that is unfavourable to most forms of life, but home to a variety of unique organisms.As the scientists collected samples of the vents mineral-rich liquid, they noticed something strange. They discovered that it contained a complex network of organ

34、ic molecules (分子), including amino acids (氨基酸) and other building blocks of life. This was surprising, as hydrothermal vents were previously thought to be empty of life-supporting chemicals. However, the most striking discovery was yet to come. Analysis of the organic molecules revealed that they we

35、re not simply the product of chemical reactions in the vent, but rather had been produced by living organisms. This served as evidence of a lively ecosystem that was completely independent of sunlight and the surface world. This discovery has significant implications for our understanding of the ori

36、gins of life on Earth. The warm pond hypothesis (假说), which has long been the dominant theory, suggests that life emerged in a relatively warm and damp environment. However, the new evidence from the hydrothermal vent system suggests that life may have actually begun in an extreme environment, where

37、 survival was only possible through the development of original biochemical pathways. The discovery also raises new questions about the potential for life to exist on other celestial bodies (天体). Hydrothermal vents have been identified on Saturns moon Enceladus and Jupiters moon Europa. The presence

38、 of organic molecules at these sites suggests that unique forms of life may exist. While this discovery is still in its early stages, it is already beginning to reshape our understanding of the origins of life and the potential for life on other planets. It is a testament to the power of scientific

39、exploration and the incredible complexity of life on Earth. As we continue to explore the depths of the ocean and the vast expanse of space, who knows what other surprises and discoveries lie in store.28. What did the scientists newly discover in the vents liquid?A. Superheated gases.B. A variety of

40、 minerals.C. Life-supporting chemicals.D. Complex forms of life.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. The warm pond hypothesis proves to be right.B. Organic molecules lead to chemical reactions.C. Forms of life were identified in the vents on other planets.D. Original biochemical pathways can oc

41、cur in severe conditions.30. What is conveyed in the last paragraph?A. Researches help us push the boundaries of technology.B. Scientists have addressed the limitations of the research.C. New discoveries inspire us to further explore the unknown.D. Researchers have confirmed the origins and complexi

42、ty of life.DMany of us may experience dinner-table debates. One common scene plays out as follows. You want to convince a friend or a family member of something you know they may disagree, and you share information and walk through your reasoning with them. Still, they reject your case. How do you r

43、eact when your powers of persuasion fail? You might dismiss the person who doesnt agree with your arguments as narrow-minded, foolish or otherwise out of touch with reality. The whole experience may feel like trying to guide someone on a journey when they refuse to follow. Psychologists have created

44、 a term, persuasion fatigue, to describe this form of frustration (懊恼).Persuasion fatigue may make it harder to successfully keep challenging conversations. Past research demonstrates that feeling frustrated can make you more resistant to changing your mind. It also shows that frustration may reduce

45、 your ability to recognize why your arguments dont succeed. Persuasion fatigue also explains why, when debates break down, people tend to blame their conversational opponent. As Mark Twain once wrote, “In all matters of opinion, our opponents are insane (愚蠢的).” In past findings, people generally rep

46、orted three times as many reasons why others faults led to failed debates rather than their own shortcomings. It is true that others are not always open to your ideas. Ending the discussion can therefore be the right thing to do. But in an overheated debate, your fatigue may lead you to misinterpret

47、 the situation and believe that your opponent is too stupid to see the truth. Fortunately, psychologists suggest some sound approaches to managing these situations and protecting your relationships.To reach your audience it may be essential to express your message in terms of their values, not yours

48、. Psychologists call this “moral reframing.” In fact, researches suggest that the simple act of acknowledging values of the people youre talking to telling them you understand where theyre coming from, even if you dont agreemay lead them to lower their defenses and open up a little to new arguments. Your fatigue may be even worse by thinking or assuming that debate is a zero-sum struggle that you win if, and only if, your opponent loses. But sometimes youre better off seeing an arg
