第三部分　阅读理解（30分）
A
Volunteering abroad is great. Not only do you travel to an exotic country, you also meet
like-minded people, and at the end of it all you have something to put on your CV to impress
employers with．But did you ever stop to think about how great it is for the people on the receiving
end?
In this context, Daniela Papi has a point-foreigners rushing heroically to volunteer in a
country they’ve never heard of are unlikely to make a difference. But turning volunteering camps
into classrooms, as Papi seems to advocate in her article, risks throwing the baby out with the bath
water by putting people off of volunteering.
Rather, learning should be a natural part of the. experience, and the key to creating such an
environment is positioning everyone as equals. In order for that to happen, volunteers need
competent leaders who create an environment of equality:
When, a few years ago, I joined a group of international volunteers to help a small farming
community in the Swiss Alps, we were all quite ignorant about the local conditions. But thanks to
our group leader, it was both a helpful project for the locals and a fun and eye-opening experience
for us．Before we had even traveled (at our own expense) to the mountaintop village, our group
leader had spent time with the villagers preparing the project to make sure it would be of benefit to
them．She. arranged for us to help in different areas, ensuring that we always worked alongside locals rather than for them．It was never "us" and "them", but always. "we", like a big family. As a result, conversation flowed and we learned a great deal just by casually talking to the locals as we worked． At the end, we left with a deep appreciation for the labor of love that goes into producing the food we eat every day一一an appreciation we could treasure ourselves and share with our peers．
Volunteering isn't about saving someone's life, or even about changing it. It's about touching a different world and reminding ourselves that there is much, much more to life than the daily routines we take for granted．With that knowledge, maybe, just maybe, we can go on to really change the world．
By Lukas Thibaut

Phantom vibrations-the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but it's not-
have been around since the mobile age．Today, they’re so common that researchers have devoted
studies to them．
For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feeling is complicated by the cows“The
cows’moo is very muffled, it kinda sounds like…errrrrr,”she says.“So that's very similar to what
my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse.”
Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration
symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones
Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a 2012 study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom
vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis．
“Something in your brain is being triggered（触发）that's different than what was triggered
just a few short years ago,” says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how
technology affects our minds.
“If you'd asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years. ago if I- felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, I'd reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing（神经元刺激），”he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says it's an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information．
“we’re seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking
up their phone look like they have an obsession. They don't look much different from someone
who's constantly washing their hands. I’m not saying that it is an obsession, but I’m saying that it
could turn into one, very easily," Rosen says.
While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling
bothered thern only a little or not at all, Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones
every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down
“One of the things I’m really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology, is just
away from the technology for short periods," Rosen says．"And by short periods．I mean; maybe just 30 minutes or an hour.”
71．According to the article, phantom vibrations_____．
A ．are mainly caused by neurons firingB ．affect people mostly working on farms
C ．help our brains better process information D. started troubling people in recent years
72The underlined word "adamant" in the last paragraph probably means_____·
A ．curious B．determined C. satisfied D. cautious
73It can be concluded fro
