Fr example, he fires his servant (仆人) because he brings him sme water t wash in that is 29℃ instead f 30℃. He has a very strict rutine (惯例) and he fllws it t the letter every day.
Fgg emplys (雇佣) a new servant, Passepartut, and n Wednesday, 2nd Octber, 1872, they set ff n the jurney rund the wrld. While he’s in India, Fgg falls in lve with an Indian girl, Auda. The jurney ends back in Lndn with Fgg believing that he has arrived a day t late and that he has lst the bet. He tells Auda that he cannt marry her nw, as he’s t pr. Passepartut learns that they have gt the date wrng. The party travelled east, s they gained a day. Fgg hurries t his club and arrives there in time t win the bet and the stry ends happily.
The stry is an easy read. The humrus twists and turns f the plt (情节) keep yu entertained thrughut. It is a rmantic adventure stry that I wuld strngly recmmend t all my friends.
18．What gave Jules Verne the idea fr the stry?

A bat and a ball cst $1.10 in ttal, The bat csts $1.00 mre than the ball. Hw much des the ball cst? If yu answered 10 cents, yu’re nt alne—mst peple give the same answer (the crrect answer is 5 cents). It’s an example f hw we ften rely n intuitive (直觉的) respnses—answers we feel are true. Peple give answers that “pp int their mind,” says scientist Steven Slman. We dn’t spend much time thinking and checking whether the answer is right r wrng.
The bat and ball questin helps explain why we ften believe in fake news. “It is part f human nature t believe”, says Slman. “But the trick with fake news is t knw t verify”—in ther wrds, t stp and questin what yu knw.
In ne experiment, Slman invented a discvery called helium rain. They tld a grup f vlunteers abut it, but admitted they culd nt fully explain what it was. They then asked the vlunteers t rate (划分等级) their wn understanding f helium rain. Mst vlunteers rated themselves l ut f 7, meaning they did nt understand it.
The researchers then tld anther grup f vlunteers abut the discvery. This time, they said that scientists culd fully explain hw it wrks. When asked t rate their understanding, the vlunteers gave an average answer f 2. The scientists’ cnfidence gave the vlunteers an increased sense f their wn understanding, Slman says.
Anther explanatin fr the spread f fake news is “mtivated reasning,” writes Adam Waytz, a prfessr at the Kellgg Schl. We are naturally mre likely t believe things that cnfirm ur existing pinins. If yu already have a negative (负面的) pinin abut smene, yu’re mre likely t trust damaging stries abut them. Over time, Waytz argues, “mtivated reasning can lead t a false scial cnsensus (共识).”
S, in a wrld where misleading infrmatin is cmmn, is there a way t prtect urselves? “I dn’t think it’s pssible t train individuals t verify everything that they face,” Slman admits. “It is just t human t believe what yu’re tld.”
Hwever, training peple t care abut fact-checking is imprtant, he argues, especially in nline cmmunities. Think f the headlines and stries that are shared n yur scial media feed every day. Prbably these fit in with yur wn wrldview—but perhaps nt all f them are true.
“Develp a standard in yur cmmunity that says, ‘We shuld check things and nt just take them at face value,’ Slman says. “Verify befre yu believe.”
22．What des the underlined wrd “verify” mean in this passage?
A．take a clse lk at smething
B．think abut smething fr a lng time
C．make sure smething is true
D．express an pinin abut smething
23．Which f the fllwing is an example f “mtivated reasning”?
A．Yu pst a message nline that gives yur pinin abut a news stry.
B．Yu understand why yur classmate is late every day because he has many excuses.
C．Yu dn’t believe the negative news abut a player because he plays fr yur favurite team.
D．Yu’re nt sure if a stry n scial media is true, s yu search nline fr mre infrmatin.
24．The fllwing paragraph can best g after.
Accrding t Slman, studies shw that knwledge spreads like a disease. “If everyne arund yu is saying they understand why a well-knwn persn is lying, then yu’re ging t start thinking that yu understand, t.” Slman says.
A．Paragraph 4B．Paragraph 5C．Paragraph 6D．Paragraph 7
25．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) tward intuitive respnses?
A．Supprtive.B．Against.C．Wrried.D．Unknwn.
