Give a man a fish, and he will eat fr a day; teach him t fish, and he’ll eat fr a lifetime.
In 1991, while teaching English in Ukraine, we did sme sightseeing. One weekend in Khersn, a prt city, I barded the wrng ferry, ging t smewhere I never knew. On the ferry I was recgnized by tw students at the cllege I was visiting. One f them was ging t visit her parents at their “summerhuse”, a vegetable garden n a small island. When the yung lady understd that I had n destinatin in mind, she invited me alng and I agreed. It was the srt f visit with a family ne hpes fr, and rarely gets, in a freign cuntry. Her father was an amateur phtgrapher, and since the fastest film he culd get lcally was ASA 64, he was thrilled that I culd leave him a few rlls f ASA 400 clr film. The mther prided herself n her cking, but had limited supplies, s they walked arund the island and invited several ther families t a ptluck supper. The main curse was sturgen (鱘), which was at least six feet lng in the river. It was a gift f a fish that must have fed a few families fr several days.
In 1965, I was studying German in Munich, Germany. I met a yung American man wh had been sent t Munich fr business. He culd nt find the lcal branch f his cmpany, and I gave him directins. When he left Munich, he gave me the fd he’d been carrying, a can f gefilte fish, a srt f seasned fish ball. I was feeling hmesick, and this ld favrite really hit the spt. A gift f canned gefilte fish seemed an imprbable favr t return. But nearly 50 years later, I had a cusin wh was wrking in Nairbi, Kenya. He wanted t rganize an American-style Passver Seder (逾越節(jié)晚餐) fr his friends, but culd nt find American-style gefilte fish in Kenya. While it usually cmes in bttles, I was able t lcate sme packed in cans, and I mailed a bx f canned gefilte fish t him frm America.

A new research by Stanfrd University psychlgy Prfessr Jeanne Tsai and her team suggests a key puzzle invlves culture. The team examined the emtinal cntent f Twitter psts made by users in the United States and Japan.
Mst previus studies n scial media have fcused n Western users. In cntrast, the Stanfrd team included a nn-Western cntext. “It just felt fr me that a piece is missing if yu dn’t cnsider culture,” said lead authr and graduate student Tiffany Hsun. “Culture is such an imprtant aspect in terms f scial media and cnnecting peple.”
The research team analyzed thusands f tweets frm bth cuntries. They used a tl called SentiStrength which scres texts based n psitivity, negativity, and emtinal intensity. Their analysis revealed clear cultural patterns: American users generally prduce mre psitive and high-energy cntent (e.g., The cutest pictures are frm Kindergarten graduatin! ?), while Japanese users tend t pst messages with calmer, lwer-arusal emtins (e.g., Anther week f exams then I’m free ).
Hwever, the ppsite seemed t apply after users had been expsed t thers’ psts. “Users seemed t be mst influenced by thers’ psts when thse psts cntained feelings against their cultural values.” explained Hsu, “S fr the U. S., users are mst influenced by thers’ high arusal negative cntent like nervusness, but fr Japan, users are mst influenced by thers’ high arusal psitive states like excitement.” The researchers described this effect as “affective hijacking”, in which expsure t cntent that ges against users’ cultural values temprarily redirects their wn cntent.
Researchers aren’t ttally sure where these disruptive psts frm, but they nticed these psts ften spread fake news r lies. This suggests t them that the cntent may be generated by peple attempting t mislead thers r even by algrithms created t stir up disputes. They suggested that future develpments might include sftware tls similar t junk email blckers.
8. What is the main purpse f the Stanfrd research?
A. T imprve tls fr checking text emtins.
B. T cmpare scial media habits in tw cuntries.
C. T prve fake news spreads faster acrss cultures.
D. T study hw culture affects nline emtinal psts.
9. Accrding t the study, American users tend t prduce psts with emtins like ________.
A. anger and anxietyB. sadness and depressin
C. delight and excitementD. calmness and relaxatin
10. Why were Japanese users mre influenced by high-arusal psitive psts?
A. Such psts are cmmn in Japan.B. Their culture lacks interactin.
C. Such psts cnflict with their culture.D. Their culture values psitive emtins.
11. What scial prblem might “affective hijacking” cause?

In Prtugal, near the twn f Alqueva, lies Eurpe’s largest artificial lake, hme t an innvative flating slar-pwer plant develped by EDP, a leading renewable energy cmpany. Despite initial skepticism abut the high csts and ptential issues f flating slar technlgy, this prject represents the sectr’s maturatin and readiness fr expansin.
In this first phase f the prject at Alqueva, engineers have statined sme 12,000 PV mdules (光伏組件) n flating platfrms made frm partially recycled plastic and lcally surced sft wd. These are cnnected t an energy-strage system cmbining batteries and are integrated with the hydrelectric dam’s pwer statin.
Flating slar prjects d face plenty f challenges. The kit has t he water-, wave-, wind- and strm-resistant, which adds cmplexity and cst. The fish in lakes attract plenty f birds, whse drppings can blck the sun. T deal with this, engineers fr the prject at Alqueva have develped remte-cntrlled cleaning rbts and are wrking n autnmus nes.
Yet flating slar prjects als enjy several advantages. When lcated at existing hydrelectric dams they d nt require any additinal land and can be cnnected t the grid (電網(wǎng)) withut the multi-year wait cmmn fr slar prjects. The cling effect f being n water especially bsts the efficiency f the mdules, with studies suggesting gains f between 5% and 15% ver land-based PV, while the shade they prduce slws the water evapratin (蒸發(fā)) f the lake.
EDP views flating slar as a crnerstne f its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5 megawatts (MW兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem mdest, but it’s just the beginning. The cmpany is planning a secnd phase, which will see an additinal 70MW capacity by 2025. Accrding t Wd Mackenzie, a leading cnsultancy, flating slar technlgy culd deliver up t 60,000MW f renewable energy glbally by 2031. “This may pale in cmparisn t the 1,600,000MW f slar capacity installed as f last year. But every bit cunts,” he added.
12. Which f the fllwing best describes the EDP prject?
A. Land-saving and efficient.B. Innvative and labr-saving.
C. Ecnmical and ec-friendly.D. Challenging and experimental.
13. Why are cleaning rbts needed?
A. They prevent water damage.B. They prtect mdules.
C. They reduce manual csts.D. They remve bird waste.
14. What advantage f flating slar prjects is highlighted?
A. They use lcal sft wd nly.B. They reduce water lss via shading.
C. They create new habitats fr wildlife.D. They need n new pwer statins.
15. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Flating Slar Ready t Shine.B. The Dawn f Renewable Energy.
C. Slar Pwer r Hydrelectric Pwer.D. 5MW t 75MW: Alqueva’s Slar Leap.
