It’s funny how a car can change a relationship so much. I had wanted her to get a car, but once she did, I 30 it. I wanted her friendship back, even if it couldn’t be the same.

One of my friends, named Anna Palmer, is always using the latest fitness gadgets. Her favorite is an app called Argus. She uses it on her phone to measure her steps, heart rate and amount of calories she has burnt. She always posts these things and pictures of herself exercising on social media. “It’s nice to know exactly how much exercise you have done rather than guess,” she said. “That way I can keep pushing myself to improve.”

For years people have enjoyed following the life of Garfield
the cat. Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for
being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently
for something you might not expect.
A man in the United States changed the gender (性别) of Garfield to “none” on the cat’s Wikipedia (维基百科) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept changing Garfield’s Wikipedia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither.
Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing it. Jim Davis, Garfield’s creat or, settled (解决) the argument.
“Garfield is male (男性),” he simply told the Washington Post. The 71-year-old artist said he liked working with animals because they didn’t have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much ab out Garfield’s gender.
It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender.
To celebrate International Women’s Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made 10 traffic lights with a figure (人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public. But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly.
“I’m all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor (市长) Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.

39. According to Jim Davis, _____.

C. artists don’t care about animals’ age or gender

A. To laugh at women in public
B. To celebrate International Women’s
Day
C. To bring more chances to women

One day all the employees got to the office. They saw a big sign on the door: “Yesterday the person who’s been holding you back in this company died. We invite
you to join the funeral in the biggest meeting room.” In the beginning, they all
got sad for the death of this person. But after a while they started wondering
who the dead person was.
As more people started coming into the meeting room and getting closer to the
coffin (棺材), the doubt grew. “Who is holding me back? Well, at least he died,”
everyone was thinking.
One by one the employees got closer. And when they looked inside it, they suddenly
became silent. They stood there and couldn’t say a word, as if someone had touched
the deepest part of their hearts. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone
who looked inside it could see himself or herself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person
who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU.” You are the only person that can
change your life. You are the only person that can make a difference to your happiness and your success. You are the only person that can help yourself. Your
life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your
partner changes or when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change,
when you go further than your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the
only one responsible for your life. “The most important relationship you can have
is the one you have with yourself.”
42. According to the sign on the door, the funeral was about a person that

（每空一词）
Many people believe that confident people think more highly of themselves, while those who have low self-esteem (自尊) think less of their good qualities. However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.
The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychology (心理学) professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population.
In the study, Freeman first asked some people to rate (评级) their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like “Do you give directions to strangers?” and “Have you ever donated blood?”. The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood.
In another study by psychologists from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged
pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones.
So, why do we think we’re nicer than we actually are?
There are many theories (理论). A popular one says we unconsciously (无意识地) deceive (欺骗) ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other.
How can we solve it? Other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback (反馈). Compare others’ opinion toward yourself with your own and you will see
