The coronavirus outbreak has sparked
panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning
products in countries across the world,but one
UK businessman is determined to spread some
happiness among the anxiety and confusion.
Rob Braddick,48,who owns Braddick's
Holiday Park in Westward Ho!,Devon,in the
southwest of England,has filled the toy
grabber machines in his amusement park with
two of the country's most sought-after cleaning
products.
Customers could previously try their hand
at grabbing“Frozen2”or“Peter Rabbit'”toys
from the machines,but no more."They got
removed this morning,"Braddick said of the
toys,replacing them with toilet roll and hand
sanitizer(洗手液).Visitors can now pay50p
for three goes on the toilet roll grabber,or f1
a go for Carex,which Braddick described as the
“Rolls-Royce of hand sanitizers.”
Braddick said that his decision was born of
a desire to make people feel less stressed in
uncertain times."It's a bit of light relief with
everything that's going on,"he said."Hopefully it
will raise a smile,which I think everybody needs.
Around the world,travel plans have been
severely affected,and tens of millions of people
remain at home as part of global efforts to
fight against coronavirus.Supermarkets have
seen shortages of toilet paper and hand
sanitizer as anxious consumers stockpile the

Canada,which has long advanced its
eagerness to attract foreigners,is experiencing
a rush in the number of Indian students heading
there for a higher education.
Besides the country's positive attitude
towards outsiders,the chief attractions for
Indian students are the lower costs for both
tuition(学费)and living expenses,in addition
to its easy visa requirements,according to
students and guides who advise them about
overseas study choices.
The number of Canadian student visas(
issued in India jumped to more than 12,000
in 2010,from 3,152 in 2008.While applications
have increased at all levels,growth has been
the greatest at community colleges.They offer
very practical training that is very job-market
focused and courses ranging from highly
technical subjects like aircraft repairs to sports
management.
Shreya Dasgupta,a recent high school
graduate from New Delhi,plans to start
studying economies and business in Canada this
fall.Ms.Dasgupta,18,said that while she
didn't have a strong preference for any one
country,she found Canada's relatively open-
minded visa rules attractive."I think it's easier
than the United States,”she said.“And you do
have job opportunities later on.In the US,it's
very expensive and you can't make sure that
you'll get a job.”
Kartik Rao,who has been admitted to a
university in Montreal,also said that Canada is
more welcoming."Regardless of my getting a
job,I have a three-year work visa which will
allow me to work,which will in turn allow me
to pay back my loan,"he said.Mr.Rao,25,
thinks that his business degree in Canada will
cost 35 percent to 40 percent less than what it
would cost in the United States or in Britain.

Also he believes that employment prospects in
Canada are better."The financial situation has
forced people to look for new paths,he said.
"Canada was not as badly affected,which
really tilted(倾斜)people’s views about
Canada."
1.Indian students heading to Canadian colleges
may NOT be attracted by
A.fewer requirements when applying for visa
B.lower cost spent on school and life in Canada
C.more scholarships and funds
D.more chances to get a job in Canada
2.What makes Shreya Dasgupta decide to study
in Canada?
A.She likes Canada most among the developed
countries.
B.It's easier for her to get visa and safer to
get a job in the future.
C.She is sure there are fewer job opportunities
in America.
D.She plans to study economics and business
there.
3.What can we learn from Mr.Rao's words?
A.Canada offers better working and living
background.
B.Canada is richer than America as there is
no financial crisis.
C.People prefer to choose Canada as there
are more job chances.
D.Students majoring in business are more
likely to find a job in America.

How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are
mean-spirited at times,loving your parents is a
normal and fulfilling part of life.You love
them for the fact that they created you,raised
you,and are in part a source of who you are.
Here are some ways to love your parents.
1 A gentle“good morning'”and“I love
you"will warm a coldest heart.Remember that
they brought you into this world.Without your
parents,you might still wander at an unknown

Respect them more and cherish these
moments.You can use these moments to learn
from them when you're off on your own.It's
OK to get angry but angry actions don't help

you or your parents.Act calmly,cool off,

2 Obey their requests.It will make your
attitude better and earn you more respect from

remember they keep a roof over your head
when it's cold,raining,snowing,or too hot.
Understand that parents are human beings and
make mistakes.3 Since you can forgive
your friends,why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them.Do things with
your parents like watching TV,or go
somewhere with them.4 Listen to their
old stories and learn from them.You will find
they are your teachers in this way or another.
Some people simply may not be able to

right to harm you.

morning.

you.

People often plan to receive medical exam
but don't,resulting in increasing health care
cost.A surprising number of citizens mean to
complete tax forms in time but forget to,
forcing themselves to pay unnecessary fines.
Many families miss the government deadline to
complete financial aid forms,losing out on aid
available for child care.
How can policymakers help people follow
through on important tasks?They use carrot
and stick approach:bonuses,late fees,or
regulations.These methods can be clumsy,and
often aren't effective for the situation at
hand.Reminding people to form simple plans,
however,provides a low-cost,simple,and
powerful tool.
Evidence is growing that providing
reminders,which push people at key times to
think through how and when they will follow
through,make people more likely to act on
tasks of importance.In one early randomized
study on tetanus vaccination(破伤风疫苗)
rates,for example,a team of social
psychologists showed that 28%of Oxford
University seniors got the shot after being
encouraged to review their weekly schedules
40

卓尔英语
and to select a possible time to stop by the
health center.They were also given a list of
times when shots were available and a map
showing the health center's location.Only 3%
of the seniors got the shot when simply
informed about how effective the shots were.
People who make a plan gain an advantage
from their psychological forces.Specifically,
they can overcome the tendency to put off as
well as the tendency to be overly optimistic
about the time it will take to accomplish a
task.Imagine Sarah who wants to renew a car
insurance,but it will require two hours of travel
to and from a garage.Making a plan may lead
her to take two hours off and have her
responsibilities covered by her colleagues while
she is away.Moreover,she will be less likely to
underestimate the time needed to accomplish
the task-a particularly common problem for
complex tasks.
People mistakenly believe that their strong
intentions are enough to push them to perform
desired behaviors.These psychological research
results stress the need for policy decisions that
encourage plan making and improve social
welfare
1.What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?
A.Heavy burden of daily chores.
B.Lack of task management skills.
C.Disappointment of over-ambitions.
D.Failure to achieve original intentions.
2.What does the randomized study on tetanus
vaccination rates show?
A.People need to think deeply before they act.
B.Specific reminders help people accomplish
plans.
C.Awareness of task significance matters in
planning.
D.Seniors need encouragement to have
vaccination shots.

from making a plan?
