ORDER SMILE CARDS
To request Smile Cards, please fill out the form below. A volunteer will mail
you an order of ten cards within two weeks. Smile Cards are offered to anyone who
requests them on a pay-it-forward basis. That means there is no charge for a set
of cards. Someone before you has paid for your cards, and you are invited to keep
the chain going and pay-forward whatever you wish for the next person! For special
events or circumstanced, you can also place a large quantity of request.
Note: When using a Smile Card, remember not to just hand it out by itself.
The idea is to do something kind for someone and then leave the Smile Card behind,
so that they know someone reached out to them, and that they are invited to
pay-forward the kindness and keep the rippled going!

The Book Lady
It was Jennifer Williams's mother who got her hooked on books. A librarian, she
read to her three children every day. “Not until we went to kindergarten,” Williams
told vadogwood.com, a local news site. “Until we went to college.”
When Williams, now 54, became an elementary school teacher and tutor in Danville,
Virginia, she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she had. But
early on, she realized that some kids had limited access to books.
“It’s very obvious to teachers of young children which kids are read to versus
kids who are not,” she said. “It’s obvious at the end of the first day of school.”
To Williams, the solution was simple: Give kids books. In 2017, as part of a civic
event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used children’s books over three
days. Most people would be satisfied with that.
“I was like, ‘Anybody could do that,’” she said. “I wanted to do something
that’s going to stretch my faith, my work ethic, my everything.”
So she set a new goal for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like
an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: “Don’t complain in the
bleachers if you aren’t willing to work hard out on the field.”
So she got to work, first by roping in friends to donate books or money to buy
books. Before long, as news of Williams’s project spread, strangers started leaving
piles of books on her front porch. As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives
them to local schools — free of charge — and also supplies books to little free
libraries around the city of 41,000 just over the North Carolina border. She also
hosts a book club for prisoners in the local prison.
In the four years she's been doing all this, the Book Lady, as Williams has come
to be known, has given away more than 78,000 books — only 922,000 more to reach
her goal! And she’s not slowing down. It’s too important for kids with few options.
“Reading can take you anywhere,” she told CNN. “You can travel in time and
space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything.”
4. What made Willian interested in reading?
A. Her children’s hobby.
B. Her mother’s influence.
C. A stranger’s encouragement.
D. A teacher's impact.
5. Why did William originally contribute so many books?
A. To satisfy most people.
B. To celebrate the civic event.
C. To help students love reading.
D. To stretch her faith and work
ethic.
6. How did William collect books for her goal?
A. By asking her friends to buy books.
B. By attaining books from the
prison.
C. By getting donation from free libraries.
D. By receiving donated books from
strangers.
7. According to the passage, what words can best describe William?
A. helpful and ambitious.
B. respectable and innocent.
C. hardworking and adventurous.
D. determined and humorous.
【答案】4. B
5. C
6. A
7. A

C
Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was one of motor racing’s most
influential engineers. Between 1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula One
constructors championships. He summed up his philosophy as “simplify, then add
lightness”. It appears to be an uncommon insight. A paper published in Nature
suggests that humans struggle with subtractive (减法的) thinking. When asked to
improve something, they tend to suggest adding new things rather than removing what
is already there, even when additions lead to sub-par (低于标准的) results.
The research was motivated by everyday observation rather than psychological
theory, says Gabrielle Adams, the paper’s first author, who cites folk wisdom such
as ‘less is more’ and ‘keep it simple’. Perhaps the need for such reminders was
evidence of a blind spot in people’s thinking?
Along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, Dr. Adams conducted a series
of observational studies. In one, when participants were asked to alter an essay
they had written, 16% cut words while 80% added them. Others gave similar results.
Of 827 suggestions received by the new boss of an American university for how the
institution could be improved, 581 involved adding new things and just 70 suggested
removing something.
Having established that addition does indeed seem to be more popular than
subtraction, the next step was to work out why. One possibility was that people were
considering subtractive options, but deliberately choosing not to pursue them.
Another was that they were not even thinking of them in the first place.
Let’s enter a new set of experiments. One experiment asked participants to
