He was brn in 1857 n a farm near Derry Church, a small Pennsylvania cmmunity. Frequent family mves interrupted his schling and left him with limited educatin. He nly cmpleted the furth grade.
Fllwing a fur-year apprenticeship (学徒期) with a Lancaster candy maker, he established his first candy-making business in Philadelphia. That initial effrt failed, s did his next tw attempts in Chicag and New Yrk. Returning t Lancaster in 1883, Hershey persevered in his dream and finally established the Lancaster Caramel Cmpany, which quickly became an utstanding success.

With Miltn Hershey’s success came a great sense f scial respnsibility. Hershey created a cmplete new cmmunity arund his factry. He built a mdel twn fr his emplyees that included cmfrtable hmes, an inexpensive public transprtatin system, a quality public schl system and brad cultural pprtunities.

Water shrtage is ne f the wrld’s biggest challenges. The Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) thinks ne in three peple glbally d nt have easy access t clean water. Desalinating (给……脱盐) cean water culd help. But currently-available desalinatin units typically require high-pressure pumps t push water thrugh filters (过滤器), which makes it difficult t reduce their size withut influencing the energy-efficiency f the device. Meanwhile, they are t expensive t set up widely.
Nw, Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) researchers have develped a cnvenient desalinatin machine. Unlike traditinal desalinatin units, the MIT machine uses electricity t remve the salt and ther small things frm the cean water. Mre imprtantly, the suitcase-sized device needs less pwer t run. It can als be pwered by a small slar panel that csts less than $50. The lack f filters and the lw electricity requirements make the machine extremely cheap t set up. “Ease f use was ne f the main mtivatins fr creating the device.” said ne researcher.
After running lab experiments using water with different salinity (盐度) levels, they field-tested the device at Bstn’s Carsn Beach. The researchers set the bx near the shre and put the tube int the water. In abut half an hur, the device had filled a plastic cup with clear, drinkable water.
The researchers believe their inventin can deliver drinking water meeting WHO quality standards with a push f a buttn. Meanwhile, a smartphne app allws the user t cntrl the unit wirelessly and receive real-time data n pwer cnsumptin and water salinity. It als sends ut infrmatin when the water is drinkable.
The MIT team is nw explring ways t bring their machine t market. They believe it will benefit residents f small islands r thse running away frm natural disasters in the future.
4. What d we knw abut the current desalinatin units?
A. They cannt wrk efficiently.B. They are usually large in size.
C. They were develped by MIT.D. They cannt stand high pressure.
5. Which aspect f the new desalinatin device is Paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The riginal purpse.B. The wrking prcess.
C. The practical advantages.D. The majr cmpnents.
6. What makes the researchers cnfident in their inventin?
A. That it is user-friendly and effective.
B. That it can prvide lts f real-time data.
C. That it can be supprted by several smartphne apps.
D. That it has successfully passed many lab experiments.

If a stranger ffered yu a free ckie, yu might well eat it. But what if they ffered t als give yu $2? Yu might plitely decline and walk away thinking, “Smething smells fishy.” In a study published in Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that peple tend t turn dwn ffers f “free mney” (as well as unusually high salaries r suspiciusly cheap services) because they seem “t gd t be true”. The research bridges ecnmics and psychlgy t explain why financial attractin can backfire.
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent f participants ate a ckie ffered freely, cmpared with abut 20 percent f thse ffered $2 as well. “Peple typically imagine things like that smene did smething disgusting t the ckie,” says study lead authr Andrew J. Vnasch, a psychlgical scientist at University f Canterbury in New Zealand. Nine further experiments, invlving mre than 4,000 participants, used nline questinnaires t present ther cases. These included being ffered mney t accept a ride hme, incredibly high cnstructin-jb wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshld (门槛), higher financial prfit reduced participants’ ptential f accepting the ffer.
If smene seems t g against accepted nrms such as self-interest withut explanatin, we assume they have hidden mtives and infer there will be “phantm csts”: imagined cnsequences that reduce what Vnasch calls an ffer’s “psychlgical value”.
Factrs beynd the present mment may cme int play. “Understanding that thers’ perceived ver genersity may put us in their debt culd als help explain peple’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCly, a psychlgist studying decisin-making at England’s University f Reading. “The ld saying ‘there’s n such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well.”
Anther experiment fund that high scrers n measures f distrust inferred mre phantm csts. The researchers als shwed hw t alleviate the effect: simply prvide a reasn fr the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a cnditin where the seats were revealed t be very uncmfrtable. “Uncmfrtable seats aren’t typically a selling pint,” Vnasch says. “But telling peple the seats were uncmfrtable made them mre willing t take them because it was sufficient explanatin.”
7. What des the underlined wrd “backfire” in Para. 1 mean?
A. Result in an ppsite effect.
B. Bst the success f an ffer.
C. Increase the appeal f a prpsal.
D. Cause a psitive utcme unexpectedly.
8. Why is the qute “there’s n such thing as a free lunch” mentined by the authr?
A. T prve the phantm csts.
B. T prmte genersity in sciety.
C. T dubt hidden csts f generus ffers.
D. T remind peple t be cautius f free items.
9. What helps make the “cheap flights” mre acceptable accrding t the experiment?
A. Offering mre flight credits.
B. Discunting the price further.
C. Prviding additinal unrelated gifts.
D. Giving a seemingly reasnable explanatin.
10. Which culd be the best title fr the text?
A. Why Peple Embrace High-Value Offers
B. Why Peple Reject Free Mney and Offers
C. Why Sme Deals Seem T Gd t Be True
D. Hw Offers f Mney Increase Acceptance Rates

Yu d deserve them.” Lking intently at what may be the best he had ever received, Edward felt an immense pride in himself, which flwed all ver his bdy. Since then, these bks given by his father have been serving as a cnstant reminder f the imprtance f lending a helping hand t thers in truble whenever he culd.Vlunteering at the turnament
