Think f yur mst prized pssessin. Nw, imagine yu decide yu must sell this item. Hw much is it wrth t yu? Hw much wuld yu charge fr it? And wuld anyne else want t buy it at that price?
Let’s cnsider the real-wrld example f a yard sale. Befre yur neighbrs cme t lk at yur things, yu must first decide n the prices fr them. Fr yu, each item has a stry, and sme items may even evke strng emtins.
Let’s say yu’re selling a pair f special editin sprts shes that yu tk care f and really enjyed wearing n special ccasins. With these sweet memries in mind, yu put a price tag f $130 n the shes. Hwever, a custmer ffers $50 fr them. Yu think, “Hw culd they nt see hw special and valuable these are?”
In financial transactins like this, sellers ften believe their wn items are wrth mre than what buyers are willing t pay. This ccurs because buyers d nt have the seller’s experiences with and emtinal attachment t the items. Buyers want a gd deal, and they’re nt willing t pay what the seller is asking fr.
This negtiatin prcess can even feel a little painful fr the seller—ver lsing smething and the buyer nt valuing it as much. Ecnmists suggest this dynamic ccurs thrugh the endwment effect (禀赋效应)—peple’s tendency t value things they wn mre highly than they wuld if they did nt wn them. The endwment effect can take hld anytime we feel a sense f wnership ver a prduct, and it can happen quickly.
As the saying ges, “Emtins gel the best f us.” There is nthing wrng with being prud f wning things and treasuring yur experiences with them. But when yu cnsider selling a prized pssessin, think abut whether yu’re fully ready t part with il. The past is the past, thugh. Remving yur emtinal attachment t material pssessins can help yu make mre accurate assessments f hw much yur items are truly wrth.
28. What des the underlined wrd “evke” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Advcate.B. Cause.C. Identify.D. Cntrl.
29. What makes yu put a price tag f $130 n yur shes accrding t paragraph3?
A. Yur fndness fr the shes.B. Yur ignrance f the market.
C. The high quality f the shes.D. The special functin f the shes.
30. Which can best illustrate the result f endwment effect?
A. One likes cllecting ld things.
B. One tends t buy expensive gds.
C. One ffers a lwer price when shpping.
D. One charges a higher-than-usual price fr smething.
31. What’s the purpse f the last paragraph?
A. T make a suggestin.B. T intrduce a thery.
C. T analyze a phenmenn.D. T prvide sme evidence.

Fire threats and envirnmental cncerns have led sme US cities t give up the traditinal Furth f July firewrks in favr f spectacular drne (无人机) light shws this year.
Maybe mst imprtantly, the drnes being emplyed by mre and mre cities fr Furth f July celebratins dn’t leave behind a blanket f smke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its wrst in decades. Cities making the switch t high-tech shws say there’ re plenty f ther reasns peple may want t avid traditinal firewrks.
“Firewrks can be harmful t peple wh suffer frm PTSD r families wh have dgs. Salt Lake City has mre husehlds with dgs than we d with kids,” said Lynze Twede, an events manager fr Salt Lake City Public Lands. The Suthern Califrnia cities f La Jlla and Ocean Beach als cited animals as a key driver behind their switch t a July Furth drne shw.
There’s als the risk f starting actual fires with annual firewrks shws. An estimated 12,264 fires were started by firewrks displays in 2021.
But data als shws that much f the wildfire risk cmes nt frm grand public displays, but frm the small-scale shws set ff n streets and sidewalks. Cnsumer-grade firewrks usage rse quickly acrss the US in recent years, when peple lked fr ways t celebrate life’s milestnes in their wn backyards.
Trying smething new has been met with mixed reactin frm the cmmunity but, as Dan Kingdm, wner f WK Real Estate in Bulder, says, “The turnaway frm firewrks is cnsidered by many t be the way f the future. Drnes are reusable; with firewrks, yu have smke, ther fallut like debris, and nise that stresses ut dgs and peple with PTSD.”
It may be t early t tell hw the new trend in alternatives at the city level may get clse t smaller shws and cnsumers, but price is a limiting factr: thse high-tech displays are expensive.
32. What is the lp cnsideratin f peple in Ocean Beach when chsing drne shws?
A. Reducing fire risks.B. Prtecting animals.
C. Imprving air quality.D. Attending t peple with PTSD.
33. What can we learn abut America frm the last three paragraphs?
A. Grand public displays are mre preferred celebratins.
B. Small-scale shws lead t mre wildfires.
C. The usage f firewrks has been n the decrease.
D. Drnes will replace firewrks very sn.
34. What is Dan Kingdm’s attitude t chsing drne light shws fr celebratin?
A. Dubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Supprtive.D. Disapprving.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Hw Americans celebrate special events.
B. The harm firewrks have dne l America.
C. The develpment f drne shws in sme American cities.
D. Why sme US cities chse drne shws instead f firewrks.

Anther thing yu can d t imprve the quality f yur sleep is t avid lking at yur phnes r cmputers befre yu g t bed. 40 Finally, having a healthy, well-balanced diet and getting sufficient exercise have als been shwn t imprve sleep health and sleep quality.
A. Why shuld we get a gd night’s sleep?

D. Sleeping t much is assciated with many health prblems.
