The ther day I was ging thrugh the airprt at Ibiza and getting my Spanish exit stamp—a Brexit benefit r drawback depending n hw yu feel
—and the nice passprt lady flicked thrugh (浏览) my passprt, seeking a rare empty page, and said: “Ww, yu have a lt f stamps.” Like a five-
year-ld, I practically glwed with pride.
Because I d have a lt f stamps. And smetimes I simply like t lk at them. Right nw, my passprt is s full f stamps it is in danger f filling
up. Hwever, there is a fair chance that this wn’t happen—nt because I have any intentin f ceasing my travels, but because mst cuntries are
mving n frm the era f physical stamps. In future ur cmings and gings will be mnitred digitally—and speedily.
This will, f curse, be great fr shrtening airprt queues, but it als means we will kiss gdbye t the rmance f the extic (奇异的) stamp, that
reminder f the time we crssed frm, say, Chile t Blivia via the Andes and the salt plains. Or that first time we landed in the USA and gt ne f the
simplest stamps f all. The brder fficer smiled as he stamped my passprt and said: “Welcme t America.”
In my decades f travel, I have acquired sme seriusly—t my mind—extic and wnderful stamps: Armenia, Madagascar, Greenland. Sme f the
smallest cuntries demand entire pages f yur passprt—lking at yu, Cambdia.
Then there are the special stamps t truly remte destinatins. My persnal favurite is prbably the ne I gt ging int the Republic f Munt
Aths in nrthern Greece. It was magnificently beautiful: the duble-headed eagle f Byzantium, returned t life and impressed n my passprt pages.
It was certainly mre cheerful than the stamp I nce gt frm the British embassy in Bangkk, which arranged fr my return t the UK frm Thailand
after I really misbehaved. That stamp said “Impund (扣留) Passprt n Arrival in Lndn”. And s they did.
Yet I miss that stamp t.

A．T exhibit the extent f his glbal travels.
B．T present a less psitive travel experience.
C．T highlight his attachment t all his stamps.
D．T reflect n his misbehavir and its cnsequences.

Vide games can spend hurs intensely fcused n leveling up — prgressing t the next level f skill and challenge- in a virtual wrld, while their
everyday trubles fade int the backgrund. Called “flw”, this prfundly immersive state is familiar t artists, musicians and athletes, and has
becme a ppular tpic in the media. But vide game schlar Braxtn Sderman urges cautin.
In his new bk, Against Flw: Vide Games and the Flwing Subject, Sderman aims t “create a little turbulence (湍流) in the smth flw.”
Amng his criticisms f flw in relatin t vide gaming is that it can be used t manipulate (操纵) players fr prfit and scially islate them.

“Develpers f vide games and apps design their technlgies specifically in rder t prduce these intense states f cncentratin, t addict
peple t these kinds f experiences,” says Sderman. Mney, f curse, is the driving frce behind mst game design, nt happiness.
Sderman has played vide games almst his entire life, but as the father f tw yung children, he’s careful t limit the types f games and
amunt f time his kids spend n vide games.
As with flw, Sderman wrries that the cncepts f play are already being manipulated by capitalism. Business wners, he says, arc being
encuraged t use play and creativity t establish “playgrunds f prfit” instead f creating mre pen, inclusive envirnments that actually make
peple happier.
“Play is an activity that is really abut creativity, explring pssibilities, and freedm,” he says. “But it can be hijacked (操纵) and used in a wrng
way”.
The cncept f play, like flw, is ne that Sderman will challenge us all t step back and think abut critically. Because, as he shws in Against Flw,
getting lst in a vide game fr a while can be fun, as lng as yu dn’t end up swept away in a lnely current f smene else’ s prfit.
【小题1】What’s a key sign f vide games being in a “flw” state?
A．Prfund interest in arts and music.
B．Increased fcus n everyday trubles.
C．Persistent engagement in nline chatting.
D．Intense cncentratin n game prgressin.
【小题2】What is the ultimate purpse f mst game design?
A．T fster genuine happiness.
B．T enhance scial interactins.
C．T build up cncentratin skills.
D．T prfit frm player invlvement.
【小题3】Accrding t Sderman, what is a cncern abut “play”?
A．It’s subject t capitalist influence.
B．It blcks creativity and pssibilities.
C．It’s unfavrable fr game develpment.
D．It prmtes addictin t virtual scializing.
【小题4】What is the text mst likely t be?
A．A review f recent vide game research.
B．A reprt abut game develpment practices.
C．An intrductin t a newly published bk.
D．An essay n the cncepts f “flw” and “play”.
There’s a useful cncept frm psychlgy that helps explain why gd peple d things that harm the envirnment: the false cnsensus effect.
That’s where we vervalue hw acceptable and prevalent (普遍的) ur wn behavir is in sciety. Put simply, if yu’re ding smething (even if yu
secretly knw yu prbably shuldn’t), yu’re mre likely t think plenty f ther peple d it t. What’s mre, yu likely verestimate hw much
ther peple think that behavir is bradly OK.
This bias (偏见) allws peple t justify scially unacceptable r illegal behavirs. Researchers have bserved the false cnsensus effect in drug use
and illegal hunting. Mre recently, cnservatinists are beginning t reveal hw this effect cntributes t envirnmental damage.
In Australia, peple wh admitted t paching thught it was much mre prevalent in sciety than it really was, and had higher estimates than
fishers wh beyed the law. They als believed thers viewed paching as scially acceptable; hwever, in reality, mre than 90% f fishers held the
ppsite view. The false cnsensus effect has als shwn up in studies examining supprt fr nuclear energy and ffshre wind farms.
Just as cncepts frm psychlgy can help explain sme frms f envirnmental damage, s t can they help address it. Fr example, research
shws peple are mre likely t litter in areas where there’s already a lt f trash scattered arund; s making sure the grund arund a bin is nt
cvered in rubbish may help.
Factual infrmatin n hw ther peple think and behave can be very pwerful. Energy cmpanies have substantially reduced energy cnsumptin
simply by shwing peple hw their electricity use cmpares t their neighbrs. Encuragingly, stimulating peple’s natural desire fr status has als
been successful in getting peple t “g green t be seen”, r t publicly buy ec-friendly prducts.
As the research evidence shws, scial nrms can be a pwerful frce in encuraging and ppularizing envirnmentally friendly behavirs. Perhaps
yu can d yur bit by sharing this article!

【小题1】Which example best illustrates the false cnsensus effect?
A．A student spends lng hurs surfing the Internet.
B．A blgger assumes many peple dislike his psts.
C．A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
D．A smker believes peple generally apprve f smking.
【小题2】Hw did mst Australian fishers view the issue f paching?
A．It is unacceptable.
B．It is widespread.
D．It is cmplex.
C．It is cntrversial.
【小题3】What d the underlined wrds “g green t be seen” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Embrace green habits fr better health.
B．Make green chices that thers can perceive.
C．Jin green mvements fr persnal fulfillment.
D．Chse green items that are easy t spt in stres.
【小题4】What is a recmmended apprach t addressing envirnmental prblems?
A．Dwnplay scial nrms.
B．Highlight persnal respnsibilities.
D．Encurage technlgical innvatins.
C．Publicize sustainable practices.
