A
My parents bought a house in Verona, New Jersey, in 1946 when I was 5. My sister, Merry, was born two years later. Our house was set far back from the road. It felt safe and adventurous with a big back yard and suburban wildlife. The main attraction for me, by far, was the massive tree in the front yard, which rose higher than I could see. We called it Old Oak. An arborist (树艺师) who checked Old Oak for my parents after the snowstorm of 1947 had pronounced it 300 years old,
Playing beneath Old Oak, my best friend, Justine, and I made toy horses. From Old Oak’s lowest branch, my dad hung a wooden board on a chain for a swing. The back-and-forth motion of the swing and rhythmic clicking of the chain comforted me. I’d lie under the green umbrella, admiring Old Oak’s height my protector. Time passed. I was swinging less under the tree and more on the dance floor. Long after my father sold the house, Merry and I visited Old Oak when attending Verona High reunions.
Justine called last October, A new owner had bought the property and taken down the tree. I found the real estate (房产) photo. In front of the house lay two huge lengths of trunk. I’d have to act fast to get a piece for Merry and me. The agent involved in the sale said that he would try to talk with the new owner. However, that attempt failed. Then I turned to John Zelenka, an artful arborist, for help. Fortunately he sent photos of the remaining trunk pieces, contacted the owner, and suggested slices for my woodworking hobbyist son in New Hampshire. On a cold April morning, my husband and I met Zelenka to examine the piece she’d cut after transporting the trunk. I couldn’t call Merry fast enough. She was excited. Trees give us such gifts from flowers to shade. My relationship with Old Oak has taken on a new form.

If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?
Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic ---- it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people.
Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question: “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned.
This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University. Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.
They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.
5. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories?
A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities.
C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills.
6. What does the recent study focus on?
A. The mental cause of trust.
B. The ways to develop survival ability.
C. The characteristics of different genes.
D. The connection between trust and a gene.
7. What does the passage say about trusting others?
A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work.
C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response.
8. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are
B. Experiences Make You Grow Dependable
C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science
D. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted
C
Imagine the richest people in the world, instead of private jets or diamond rings, they show off something else: their completely empty schedule. This is the new reality. In an age flooded with smartphones and endless information, a new kind of luxury (奢侈) is emerging ---- the luxury of uninterrupted, freely available time.
In the past, people displayed success through expensive watches, and designer clothes.
This was known as “conspicuous consumption (消费)” a way of saying, “Look what I can afford.”
Now, a new status symbol is taking over. It’s not about what you own, but what you can ignore. Being able to turn off all phone notifications (通知), or spending a whole afternoon lost in a novel. This group is being called the “Time Millionaires.” Their real wealth is not money, but an abundance of (大量) time that belongs entirely to them.
The root of this change is the “Attention Economy.” Every social media app you use for free isn’t really free, You and your attention are the product being sold. Companies design addictive (令人上瘾的) features, using endless videos and notifications to fight for every second of your focus. As a result, most of our time and attention are cut into tiny pieces. We always feel “busy”, yet often feel we haven’t accomplished anything meaningful. It’s as if our time no longer belongs to us. In this environment, those who take back control of their time stand out. They usually manage it in one of two ways:
1. They are financially wealthy enough to use money to solve problems that consume time.
2. They are highly intentional about their lives, actively choosing a “Digital Minimalist” lifestyle and bravely saying “no” to digital distractions (分心之物).
This leads to a crucial question: Is this creating a new form of social inequality? On one side are the “Time Rich.” They have high-quality time to invest in deep thinking, learning new skills, and building relationships. This leads to better mental health. On the other side are the “Time Poor.” They might be stuck in jobs that require constant availability, or trapped in a cycle of algorithm-fed (算法推送的) entertainment. Their time is filled, but they may feel empty and anxious inside.
At the heart is a debate: is it fair? Some argue that embracing digital minimalism (极简主义) is a positive choice available to everyone. It’s not about money, but self-discipline. Turning off unnecessary notifications or setting “phone-free” hours costs nothing. This perspective encourages personal responsibility. Others hold that the ability to disconnect is itself a privilege (特权). Consider a single parent working two jobs ---- can they afford to “ignore” a work message? For them, being “offline” could mean losing income or connections. Promoting digital minimalism as a one-size-fits-all solution might ignore these harsh (残酷) realities.
The concept of the “Time Millionaire” reflects one of the deepest conflicts of our time. While technology promises efficiency, we often feel poorer than ever in time. It asks each of us: Are you the master of your time, or its slave?
9. What can be inferred from the passage about the “Digital Minimalist” lifestyle?
A. It requires completely giving up all digital devices.
B. It is expensive to maintain this lifestyle.
C. It involves conscious choices to limit digital distractions.
D. It is only adopted by those who are financially wealthy.
10. The word “conspicuous” in paragraph 2 most likely means _________________.
A. hidden and private B. wasteful and meaningless
C. obvious and noticeable D. practical and important
11. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. The dangers of social media addiction and algorithms.
B. The conflict between time ownership and attention economy.
C. A guide to achieving wealth through time management.
D. The importance of digital minimalism for mental health
12. What is the author’s attitude toward the argument that digital minimalism is a one-size-fits-all solution?
A. Strongly supportive B. Completely neutral (中立的)
C. Doubtful and critical D. Unclear and confused
