A
It hurts to keep secrets. Secrecy (保密) is associated with lower well-being, worse health, and less satisfying relationships. Research has linked secrecy to increased anxiety, depression, symptoms of poor health, and even the more rapid progression of disease. There is a seemingly obvious explanation for these harms: hiding secrets is hard work. You have to watch what you say.
New research, however, suggests that the harm of secrets doesn’t really come from the hiding after all. The real problem with keeping a secret is not that you have to hide it, but that you have to live with it, and think about it.
To better understand the harms of secrecy, researchers first set out to understand what secrets people keep, and how often they keep them. They found that 97% of people have at least one secret at any given moment, and people have, on average, 13 secrets.
Across several studies, researchers asked participants to estimate how frequently they hid their secret during conversations with others, and also how frequently they thought about the secret outside of social interactions. They found that the more frequently people simply thought about their secrets, the lower their well-being.
Following up this research, a new paper reveals why thinking about secrets is so harmful. Turning the question around, the consequences of telling secrets are examined. Researchers found that when a person reveals a secret to a third party, it does not reduce how often they have to hide the secret from others who are still kept in the dark. Rather, it reduces how often their mind wanders toward the secret in irrelevant moments.
Therefore, if you choose to still keep something secret, talking to another person can make the world of difference. Secrets don’t have to hurt as much as they do.
1、Which is not one of the harms of keeping secrets?
A．Being physically sick. B．Mental problems.
C．Harmed relationships. D．Hiding somewhere.
2、Why is keeping secrets so harmful?
A．Because you must hide them.
B．Because you often think about them.
C．Because it’s difficult to keep secrets.
D．Because you must watch what to say.
3、How can people reduce the harm of keeping secrets?
A．By working hard. B．By keeping 13 secrets.
C．By thinking about the secrets. D．By telling secrets to a third person.
4、Which is the text probably taken from?
A．An advertisement B．A research report
C．A biology textbook. D．A travel brochure.

B
My friend, Jack, was a taxi driver. We became friends quite by accident. Five years ago, I made a trip to Chicago. The moment I stepped into a cab, I realized it was different. The floor was covered with a rug (小地毯). There were small reproductions of paintings by Van Gogh inside the cab. And the windows were spotless. I told the driver I had never ridden in a more attractive taxi.
“I like to hear my passengers say that,” he replied. “How long have you been decorating your cab?” I asked. “It’s not mine,” he said. “It’s a company cab. I hit upon the idea years ago when I worked as a clean-up man for the taxi company. Each car that came in at the end of the day was like a garbage pit. Cigarette butts and matches covered the floor. Sticky stuff like peanut butter was on the seats or door handles. I thought that if the company and the drivers would give people a car worth keeping clean, they might be more considerate. ”
“As soon as I got my taxi license, I tried out my ideas. I put a lot of extra decorations into the cab they gave me to drive. I got a nice rug and some flowers. When each passenger got out, I checked to make sure that everything was in order for the next fare. After about a month of my bringing in a spotless cab, the boss reserved the same car for me each day. That was when I put up the reproductions of great paintings.”
“I’ve never been disappointed by people in the past ten years—no garbage. Like I say, people appreciate beautiful things. If we planted more flowers and trees in the city and made the buildings more attractive, more people would tend to keep the city clean.”
Later, we became good friends. I was impressed by the taxi-driver, who had hit on a great truth—a sense of beauty comes with the gift of life. Most people don’t have to be instructed about the rarity of beauty. They respond when they find it. And, if they are made to feel a part of it, they will try to add to it.
1、What made the writer surprised when he got into the taxi?
A．The beautiful decoration on the rug.
B．The style of decoration outside the taxi.
C．The masterpieces of well-known painters.
D．The impressive inner environment of the taxi.
2、Jack got the idea of decorating the cab when _______.
A．he got his taxi license
B．the boss reserved the same car for him each day
C．he served as a clean-up man for the taxi company
D．he found the taxi he cleaned was full of cigarette butts
3、What does the story mainly tell us?

A．People can easily make friends when taking a taxi.
B．When people find beauty in life, they will try to add to it.
C．If we plant more flowers and trees, we can keep the city clean.
D．We have to be taught to find beauty and make it more beautiful.
