  • 1、Sports fans use their clothes and colors to show how much they love their team. "This behavior has much to do with honour," said Jonathan Jensen, professor at the University of North Carolina. He and his colleagues found if a student's football team won a game, it doubled the chance of the student wearing the team's clothes, while a loss greatly reduced the possibility of wearing team clothes by more than half.

    Winning or losing not only changes how fans dress, but also how they talk about their connection with the team to show whose side they are on. Andrew Billings, director at the University of Alabama, used machine learning to analyze (分析) more than 7,000 social media posts during a major sporting event. They found that fans increased the use of first-person pronouns, saying how "we" won the day when their team scored or won. By comparison, the fans talked about how "they" did not perform well when their team was behind or lost.

    This behavior of fans shows how strongly they feel connected to their teams. Taking part in these shared experiences provides them with more opportunities to socialize, which can strengthen their relationships with others. As Jensen said, "When you interact (互动) with people, you feel more connected with them, and you also benefit from better mental health and are more likely to stay involved (投入)."

    However, there are potential drawbacks of becoming too involved in a sports team, especially when your connection with the team becomes stronger than the people around you. "We've heard cases where people have missed their son's or daughter's wedding because it was happening during an Alabama football game," Billings said. "Sometimes when you put too many eggs in the sports basket, you are leaving your mood up to athletes or teams that you have no control over."

    (1)、What may a student post online for his team's success according to paragraph 2?
    A、They are all the best! B、Look at our cute players. C、She could have done better! D、He is definitely a handsome guy.
    (2)、What can we learn about being sports fans according to paragraph 3?
    A、It harms their mental health. B、It strengthens their sports skills. C、It influences their family relationships. D、It encourages their social connection.
    (3)、What does the underlined word "drawbacks" in paragraph 4 mean?
    A、Differences. B、Benefits. C、Disadvantages. D、Responsibilities.
    (4)、What is Billings's attitude to over-involvement in a sports team?
    A、Negative. B、Confused. C、Supportive. D、Uncertain.
  • 2、Dear Younger Me,

    It's hard to believe we're nearing our senior years. While I hope we have 20 or 30 good years ahead, it's time to think about some choices we regret.

    I can't hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18. Our brains weren't fully developed, and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence. We went against our parents. We got close to friends, but then again pushed them back. Yes, there were secrets and lies, but that's part of growing up.

    However, I think you should apologize for how you started our career (事业). You had always dreamed of being a reporter, but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest thing to do in your field. Over time, you felt you didn't learn much, even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible. It wasn't until we changed to marketing that we found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life.

    We bought a lovely home in the city centre. But starting a family brought new challenges.The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids' activities. And when the kids went to college, we faced an empty home and had to rediscover who we were besides parents. It felt like a new stage of youth, where we were re-learning about life without focusing on our kids. We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work, trying to stay connected while finding our own space.

    Now, as we approach senior years, life feels peaceful. We've had ups and downs, from losing our mom to watching our kids grow. So, younger me, let's pardon ourselves for past mistakes. We can't move forward until we make peace with our past. Hopefully, our best days are still ahead.
