August Lamm, a writer, artist and frmer art influencer, hasn’t wned a smartphne since 2022. Her jurney t give up the smartphne began shrtly after graduating frm cllege, when she started psting pictures f her art nline and gt hundreds f thusands f fllwers. “Everything that I shared nline — abut my lve life r my vacatins r my huse — all these pictures and wrds were feeding int my business s they wuld result in sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure t keep that up became t much, and she reached a breaking pint.
At first, Lamm tried t put her phne in a drawer and didn’t lk at it fr a whle day, which she said “was very incnvenient t everyne in my life”. It tk her abut a year t quit her smartphne and fully devte herself t the dumbphne lifestyle, which ffers nly basic calling and texting.

When it cmes t her career, Lamm says she earns mre mney nw than she ever did as an influencer nline. That’s because nw she nly des the actual wrk, rather than spending hurs and hurs crafting psts. “When I stpped psting, I fund ut incme surces that existed befre scial media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thusands f hurs trying t build a fllwing, I culd have spent that time ging t galleries, taking classes, meeting peple, making cnnectins, rganizing events, submitting t exhibitins and therwise making a name fr myself in the real wrld. I culd have imprved mre quickly if I had nt arranged nline visibility abve creative develpment.”

One f the tp surces f added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Jurnal f Preventive Medicine shws that advertising drives sales f high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12 — but nt when it is designed fr adults.
In the study, researchers lked at all cereals bught by 77,000 U.S. husehlds ver a nine-year perid, between 2008 and 2017. They als lked at Nielsen ratings data, which clsely tracked all the ads that peple in a husehld saw — bth children and adults. The study shwed a clear cnnectin: mre ads fr children led t mre sugary cereal being bught by families. But ads fr adults did nt lead t mre buying. And these extensive data als shwed that behavirs that were learned in childhd culd track int adulthd, which culd lead t pr health utcmes ver a lifetime.
The study is the first t directly cmpare the influence f fd ads aimed at children with thse aimed at adults. The findings ffer new evidence f hw fd marketing turns children int the “final weapn” in influencing family spending because they cntinuusly ask their parents t buy an idea knwn as “pester pwer”.
The fd industry started the Children’s Fd and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a vluntary effrt t plice itself. The 21 participating fd cmpanies made a prmise t cut back n marketing unhealthy fds t children under 12 — later revised t under 13. A new study cnducted in 2024 shwed that children’s cntact with cereal ads n TV prgramming has drpped sharply.
But Lindsay Smith Taillie, a fd plicy researcher at the University f Nrth Carlina at Chapel Hill, says these vluntary effrts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are mving nline, making it even harder t knw what marketing children are shwn, Taillie ntes.
28.What mainly drives children t buy sugary cereal?
A. Nutritinal value prmtin.B. Family breakfast traditins.
C. Kid-fcused marketing strategies.D. Adult-centered advertisements.
29. What des the underlined phrase “pester pwer” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Parents’ uncnditinal lve.B. Children’s uncntrlled spending.
C. Parents’ grwing spending. D. Children’s repeated buying requests.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. An expectatin fr further study.B. A limitatin f the research methd.
C. The fllw-up influence f the study.D. The ptential applicatin f the findings.
31.What is Taillie’s attitude tward the vluntary effrts?
A. Negative.B. Psitive.C. Uncncerned. D. Uncertain.

When Eugenie Gerge first heard that her friend passed an exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed mre wrk t advance her wn study. But instead f anxiety, she called her friend. “I cngratulated her and tld her she inspired me,” she says. She was surprised when it changed her attitude, s she culd share her friend’s happiness and experience her wn, in turn.
Finding pleasure in anther persn’s gd frtune is what scial scientists call freudenfreude, a term that describes the jy we feel when smene else succeeds, even if it isn’t directly cnnected with us. Freudenfreude is like scial glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a prfessr f psychlgy at Ursinus Cllege in Pennsylvania. It makes relatinships “clser and mre enjyable”. Sharing in smene else’s jy can als imprve life satisfactin and adaptability and help peple cperate during a disagreement.
While the benefits f freudenfreude are plentiful, it desn’t always cme easily. Smetimes, yur lss might last, making freudenfreude feel ut f reach. If yu were raised in a family that cnnected winning with self-wrth, Chambliss says, yu might misread smene else’s victry as yur wn persnal shrtcming. And factrs such as mental health and verall happiness can als affect yur ability t participate in smene else’s jy. Still, freudenfreude is wrthwhile and there are ways t encurage the feeling.
Instead f a natural respnse, freudenfreude is ften an active prcess. T help peple develp the ability t share jy, Chambliss and her clleagues develped a prgramme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET). They fund that depressed peple wh used the practices fr tw weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which built up their relatinships and imprved their md.
Jean Grae, an artist, supprts friends in this mindset. When smene gets a new chance r achieves an imprtant gal, she makes sure t celebrate. Grae says she’s especially mved when anyne cnsidered ‘ther’ succeeds. “It’s truly inspiratinal,” she says, “because it lifts us all up and makes us shine.”
32.What d we knw abut Eugenie Gerge?
A. She tk pride in passing her exam. B. She shared her success with her friend.
C. She was pleased with her friend’s success. D. She was annyed at her failure in an exam.
33.What des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n abut freudenfreude?
A. Its great benefits.B. Its disadvantages.
C. Reasns fr its absence.D. Ways f imprving it.
34.Why is Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET) held?
A. T test the effect f freudenfreude. B. T help peple apply freudenfreude.
C. T get peple t knw freudenfreude. D. T shw the advantages f freudenfreude.
35.What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Hw t experience freudenfreude?
B. Let’s share what leads t freudenfreude.
C. Freudenfreude: View thers’ success as ur wn.
D. A win-win: Freudenfreude brings ur wn pleasure.
