B I'm Thomas from the United Kingdom,working in Beijing,and I'm a shopping addict().The main source of my addiction is Taobao,China's massive online shopping platform-a place for everything from clothes to books,and everything in between.It makes Amazon look like a comer shop. My favorite is mostly books and different kinds of water bottles.My cupboard has a shelf full of them,many of which my size will no longer allow me to crowd into. What's worse is that the app's very clever algorithms()track what I look through,so every time I open it on my phone,I am greeted by an advertisement inviting me to dip deeper into my digital wallet.I don't even have to open the app.They are available to purchase with just a tap of my finger. Once you make an order,you need to wait.The shipping gives your heart a little 第页共12页 hit.Then there's another little rush of endorphins()when the delivery person picks it up.You watch your package edging its way up the map to Beijing.When the app tells you it's on the delivery bike,the same excitement as a kid on Christmas morning takes hold as you wait for the knock at the door.Much like a little dog waiting for its master to return home from work. The packaging is eagerly removed,exciting another hit of happiness.An hour later,the buyer's regret comes.To make yourself feel better,you start using the app once more and the cycle starts all over again. I could blame()my addiction on Jack Ma,founder of Alibaba,Taobao's parent company,or point a finger at Liu Qiangdong,founder of JD,a similarly addictive domestic shopping app.I could even blame Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,who started all this e-commerce.

Q In today's digital age,where a vast ocean of information is just a click away,the question arises:can one learn too much?Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge.However,there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction,a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a scenario where you're eager to achieve a particular goal.You begin by conducting extensive research,diving deep into the subject.As you absorb more information,it paradoxically(矛盾地)feels like your understanding diminishes(下降). Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers,making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap:the endless pursuit of more information.Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable,that is to say there's nothing wrong with learning a lot,issues arise when this pursuit obstructs()practical application.If learning continuously prevents you from starting,you'll find yourself stuck,unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.Gather essential information,then transition into action swiftly,even if you feel somewhat unprepared.This is often the best way to learn,as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison to a baby learning to walk is a good example here.A baby 第8页共12页 doesn't learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process.Instead,it learns by attempting to walk,falling,and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn't.Through repeated efforts,walking is eventually mastered.This method is applicable to goal achievement too.By engaging in action,learning from the outcomes,and adjusting accordingly,you gradually move closer to your goals In summary,while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable,it's crucial not to let it become a barrier to action.Learning should be a stepping stone to doing,not an end in itself.It's through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations (.This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis (of over-learning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. 51.What stops people from achieving the goal? A.The distraction caused by urrelated tasks. B.The inability to find relevant information. C.The confusion caused by the information. D.The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 52.What does the author try to advocate in Paragraphs 3 and 4? A.Sticking to continuous learning B.Taking practical action without delay. C.Gaining as much knowledge as possible D.Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study. 53.Why is practical experience important in the learning process? A.It replaces continuous learning. B.It removes obstacles in learning. C.It holds back theoretical understanding. D.It offers a more complete understanding. 54.The example baby learning to walk"mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to A.compare different learning styles B.show the importance of making mistakes 第页共12页 C.emphasize the need for parental guidance D.explain learning through action and experience 55.What makes the best title for the passage? A.The Paradox of Information Overload B.The Harmony of Learning and Doing C.The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge D.The Process of Learning to Walk D For as long as there have been gifts,we naturally make choices based on the recipient()But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around,which not only made gift buying easier,but the recipient happier? In 2015,psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey,which suggested that when people buy gifts,they prefer to choose something based on the recipient's personality and tastes.Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind:gifts for them. But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people.So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother's Day.Half were told to buy a card that'reveals your knowledge of the recipient"while the others set out to buy a card that"reveals your true self'.After the.purchase,the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers. To find out how that approach goes down with recipienis,the psychologists did another test,asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend,partner or family member.Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers.Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind. Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts."If building stronger social connections is the underlying()goal"of a gift and surely it should be-then 第0页共12页 we"may 'well.be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts".In short,for a present to be meaningful,you need to give away a bit of yourselfeven if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient's practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind. Moreover,giving something of oneself can be a safer act,the psychologists added.Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character-and failing But a note of caution here:what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated,unsympathetic giver-centered giving,which,according to Human and Aknin"could signal self-obsession"-and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves. 56.From the Mother's Day card test,we can conclude that gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver B.most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind C.most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes B.gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient 57.What do the underlined words"them;them"refer to in order of appearance? A.The recipients;the givers. B.The givers;the recipients C.The givers;the givers. D.The recipients;the recipients. 58.What does the author think is the significance of gift giving? A.Making the giver's life happier. B.Showing one's knowledge of the recipient. C.Establishing and strengthening social connections. D.Meeting the recipient's practical needs. 59.Which of the following is Human and Aknin's advice on gift giving? A.Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself. B.Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts. 第页共12页 C.Buy something that fits the recipient's character most. D.Be careful not to signal your true personality. 60.Which is the best title of this passage? A.The Tradition of Gift Giving B.The Purpose of Gift Giving C.The Effect of Gift Giving D.The Psychology of Gift Giving 第2页共12页
