The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much! Youre the best! And youre really beautiful and cute! Im really enjoying your songs,” This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirer that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time lo view each one personally.Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“Theres this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands outits not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They cant ring them up and say, Can we have coffee? Its not about the autograph (签名) ,Its about the moment of connection.”21.Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?A.SomeletterstoSwiftwerethrownawayunread.B.Thelettersinthebinwereexaggerating.C.Awomandiscoveredthelettersanddiscardedthem.D.Poorlydecoratedletterswereleftunread.22.Swiftsmanagementclaimedthat.A.SwifthadreadeachoneofthelettersB.fanscouldtrustthemwiththeirlettersC.theydidntintendtothrowawaythelettersD.theywerequickinresponsetotheincident23.Mostcelebrities.A.areafraidofreceivingfanmailB.aretoobusytoreadfanmailC.trytheirbesttoreadfanmailthemselvesD.careaboutthefateoffanmail24.AccordingtoZubernis,fanswanttheirletterstobereadbecausethey.A.hopetoshowtheirhanddrawingsB.wantthecelebritiestoseetheirtalentC.dreamofgettingaphotoofthestarsD.desiretogetconnectedwiththestars25.Whichofthefollowingwillfanscherishthemost?A.Thesenseofbeingsimilartotheirstars.B.Thefeelingofbeingrelatedtotheirstars.C.Thetimespentwiththeirstars.D.Theautographoftheirstars.PassageTwoFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we cant see what we cant see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, Im dyslexic (有阅读障碍的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldnt be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those whod scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. Hed set us up，trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasnt the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.26.Thispassagedescribes.A.anexperimentB.abasketballmatchC.aphilosopherD.agorilla27.Attentionblindnessrefersto.A.seeingonethingwhilemissingallelseB.thefactthatonecantseewhatonecantseeC.keepingtrackofjustabouteverythingD.theconditionofbeingblindtodetails28.Catchusintheact(Para.1)isclosestinmeaningtofindus”A.doingsomethingimproperB.sleepingduringthelectureC.failingtonoticesomethingwithinsightD.countingthebasketballtosses29.Howmanypeopleintheroomsawthegorillainthevideo?A.1.B.3or4.C.13or14.D.15.30.Whomdoeshe(lastparagraph)referto?A.Theauthor.B.Thegorilla.C.Thestudent.D.Thelecturer.PassageThreeFor many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help.Ironically, its been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑）to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her bosss support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery-and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kiras key presentations, she benefited from her bosss thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kiras presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them, to assist you.31.Manypeopleareunwillingtoaskforhelpbecausethey.A.donottrustotherpeopleB.areconfidentofthemselvesC.donotthinkitnecessaryD.areashamedofdoingso32.Whichofthefollowingmaytheauthoragreewith?A.Askingforhelpmeansadmittingweaknesses.B.Helpingothersishelpingoneself.C.Weakpeopleoftenneedmorehelp.D.Well-positionedrequestsforhelparewelcomed.33.Kirasrequestforhelp.A.wasturneddownB.turnedoutrewardingC.ledtoherpromotionD.benefitedherbossinreturn34.KiraspresentationsnowhavepunchmeansherpresentationsareA.controversialB.forcefulC.wellreceivedD.highlymotivating35.ThepurposeofthepassageistoA.illustratehow
