2．A true visionary is someone who recognizes opportunities where others do not.If you're eager enough to spot it，the next new trend might pop up almost anywhere even in a bag of chips.You just have to be careful not to eat your fortune before you find your fame（名氣）.
13- year old Rylee Stuart opened a packet of Doritos when she happened on a chip that looked like a puffed up（鼓脹的） triangular pillow.The Queensland teen was about to pop it into her mouth，but noting its unique shape，she changed her mind of scarfing down the puffed-up chip.
Instead，Rylee posted her unusual find on TikTok，asking her followers for feedback on how to best eat it.Their advice？Put the puffy chip on eBay to see what price it might fetch.With a starting bid（出價） of ＄0.99，that's just what the Queensland teen did.

3．In a world where "no news is good news" and good news is not news，the media doesn't tell stories of good behavior very often，but gives a long description of conflicts instead.However，a new study suggests that good news can actually encourage good actions.
The study examines the warm，encouraging feeling we get from watching someone act with courage or kindness—a feeling known as "moral elevation （道德提升）." In the study，researchers explored whether people are encouraged to do good by simply watching the news on acts of kindness.They also tried to determine whether common acts of kindness would be enough to get fallings of morals elevation，or whether the actions had to be special or amazing.
People read articles and watched videos describing acts of common or uncommon kindness.Some read about an organization that creates neighborhood gardens，while others saw a music video showing how the singer helped poor communities around the world.People then had the chance to give money to others or keep it for themselves.
The results show that hearing about these good actions made people more likely to give away their money—but these actions must be amazing or special good actions，not just everyday acts of kindness.What's more，people who saw themselves as highly moral people were likely to give money more often than those who did not.
This study has important influences on the news media，which likes to report negative events more often than positive ones.The results show that even a small change by the media could have deep influences. "We have every reason to believe that even a week stimulus（激勵），like a story of moral goodness，can bring out moral elevation，" write the authors.So，if the news were to report no good actions more often，perhaps we would see a deep influence among readers.
（1）What does the media think of the news on good actions？
A．It is too rare.
B．It is of no value.
C．It is difficult to get.
D．It is more popular.
（2）What did the study try to find out？
A．Who is likely to enjoy good news.
B．Why people like good news more.
C．What kind of news people like best.
D．How people can be influenced by good news.
（3）When will people do good actions according to the study？
A．When they've known about special good actions.
B．When they've hope to encourage others by kind acts.
C．When they've been helped by others in daily life.
D．When they hear about people who do good actions.
（4）What does the author want to show in the last paragraph？
A．Traditional media still has a place nowadays.
B．Readers should choose to read good news more.
C．People should be encouraged to do good actions.
D．Making right news choices is important to the media.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.7

Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him，but she didn't want to run after him.Jenny bent down quickly，picked up the watch and ran home.On arriving home，Jenny put it on almost without thinking.To her surprise，it fitted so well.She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech.Words just flooded out of her."I'm going to talk about swimming.I have been lucky.I've won lots of competitions.When I'm in a race， 'm not really thinking about winning.I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water..." Jenny laughed with excitement.She walked across the room.She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence.Turning back to the mirror，Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass.The flashes of silver seemed almost magical.So maybe Lee's watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day，as the lesson began，Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first，Nobody moved.Jenny slowly raised her arm.Before Miss Walker could say anything，there was a shout from behind."She's stolen my watch!" Lee said angrily，"It went missing at school yesterday.
