Vinegar is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you

21．（6分）

can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help

the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for

Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants

in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future,

worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.

The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant

known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was

placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate (

醋酸盐

)—the

main component of vinegar.

After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the

soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the

plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the

untreated plants had dried up and died.

It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help fanners in

dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of

B

．

relevant

the world—rice, wheat and maize… and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim,

co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.

Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in

trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to

companies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make

a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” he said.

Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.

The goings-on in the consulting room have become more

transparent

22．（8分）

(

透明的

) recently. Thank goodness. We know more than the lines supplied by the movies

in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who, sitting on a couch,

consult with them. Therapists are interested in how the individual, the couple or the

family experiences and understands their difficulties. That has to be a starting place. We

can be of value if our first port of call is to listen, to gradually feel ourselves into the

shoes of the other, to absorb the feelings that are being conveyed and to think and then

to say some words.

The thinking and talking that I do inside the consulting room is at odds with many

features of ordinary conversation. Not that it is mysterious, but it isn’t concerned with

traditional ways of sharing or identifying. The therapist makes patterns and theorizes,

but they are also reflecting on the words that are spoken, how they are delivered and

how the words, once spoken, affect the speaker and the therapist themselves.

Words can give voice to previously unknown feelings and thoughts. That’s why it’s

called the talking cure. But just as words reveal so, too, can they obscure, and this gets

us to the listening and feeling part of the therapy. Whatever and however the words are

delivered, they will have an impact on me as a therapist. I might feel hopeless, I might

feel energized, I might feel pushed away, I might feel demanded of, I might feel pulled to

find solutions.

The influence of the other is what makes any relationship possible or impossible. A

therapist is trained to reflect on how those who consult with them affect them. As I try

to step into the shoes of the other and then out again, my effort is to hold both those

experiences, plus an awareness of my ease or discomfort with what I encounter in the

relationship.

Feelings are the bread and butter of our work in the consulting room. They inform

or modify our ideas and they enable us to find an emotional bridge to what can so hurt

for the people we are working with. Along with the more commonly thought-about

theories and ideas we have about the psyche, they are an essential part of the therapist’s

toolkit, certainly for me. The talking cure means talking, yes. It also means the therapist

is listening, thinking and feeling.

the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I’ve said that’s my favorite book.”

OWN CEO-Oprah Winfrey, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

This book talks about how a little girl observes the people around her. Winfrey said,

“I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to recommend the book to other

kids. So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing

that probably since I read this book.”

Apple CEO-Tim Cook, Competing A gainst Time by George Stalk Jr. And Thomas

M. Hout

Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing

25．（10分）

technology. Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as

simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also

easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for

communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to

call. But that’s just the beginning.

“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a

29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he

hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message — “K.” “At the

very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few words here. You’re not that

busy.”

There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social

media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital

communication.

“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,”

said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that

generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet

culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of

routine.

But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be

filled with ambiguous clues (

线索、迹象

) that the person on the other end of the call, text

or email may or may not easily understand.

“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of

the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by

using emoji (

表情符号

) to sum up a feeling in seconds.

“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in

one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
