    Tom's wife usually does the shopping，but she had the flu so Tom went instead.Selecting the fruits and vegetables went fine，but when he got to the bread section，he had trouble，because there were over 60 varieties to choose from.Tom compared different types and examined the differences.After 10 minutes of careful consideration，he picked one that seemed like the perfect choice.However，he had to repeat the process for the rest of the shopping list.By the time he had finished and paid for everything，he was tired and upset.
    Why did Tom have this kind of experience？According to behavioral economics research，although having some options makes us feel good，once we get beyond that small number，the more choices we have，the less happy we feel.
    The cause of our unhappiness has its root in one typical judgment error we make——our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains.This is probably because of our evolutionary （進化的） background；our minds evolved for the savanna （熱帶草原） environment，not for our modern shopping context.Due to this，when we have lots of options，we feel anxious about making the wrong choice and losing out on the best one.
    Digging into research on factors that make a shopping trip an unhappy experience helps us improve our buying decisions.When choosing what to buy，the number one technique involves satisficing instead of maximizing.
    Maximizing behavior refers to finding the perfect option when shopping.Maximizers compare all available options to make sure that they get the best deal in terms of performance，price，and so on.They have high expectations，and they hope that the product will meet their expectations.
    It's the opposite for satisficers.They set certain minimal criteria （最低標準） that need to be met，then search for the first available product that meets the criteria.They look for products that are "good enough"instead of "perfect".When they focus on "good enough"，their brain automatically highlights the positives，and lowers the expectations.
    Research shows that maximizing behavior results in less happiness，less satisfaction，and more regret than satisficing.
    To be happier，satisfice and limit your choices.Make a short list that compares a reasonable number of options and doesn't include every product available.After all，there's no such thing as the perfect deal.

1．At the beginning of Grade Two，I joined the cross-country running team in our school.
   When I came to the first practice，I was filled with optimism.But as the distance we ran in each practice gradually increased from three to four，to six miles，I realized with surprise that no matter how hard I tried，I wasn't able to run as fast as others.In fact，I was one of the slowest on the team.
   What was the point of putting myself through so much pain？After the first few weeks，I wanted to quit.
   Then we had our first cross-country meet.
   When we started the race，I felt the great pressure of expectations sink onto my shoulders.And after a while I stopped running and struggled to walk up the hill.But then I heard my coaches shouting my name from the top of the hill.I felt confused and embarrassed；why were they cheering for me？I was running terribly!As I tried my best to finish the race，I realized that my coaches didn't care how fast I ran.Neither did my teammates.During the rest of the season，they were always on the sidelines of every race，cheering for me just as loudly as they'd cheered for the front runner.
   From then on，I began to put my effort into supporting my teammates instead of focusing on my own performance.In that way，I celebrated my teammates' victories as if they were my own；I felt their pain and exhaustion as if they were my own.
   Cross-country running made me realize I don't need to be the best to be successful in life.It taught me to value my relationships with people more than my relationship with my ego.It taught me to cheer for others even if I don't know their names.

A．He had much pain in his knees.

2．If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21，but since it has caught on，events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
   Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets，it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly（多疙瘩的） Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
   There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it，so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
   At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions，and because these are family affairs，children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
   Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit，including stately gardens and commercial orchards （果園）.If you want to have a real orchard experience，try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.

（1）What can people do at the apple events？

A．Attend experts' lectures.
B．Visit fruit-loving families.
C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D．Taste many kinds of apples.
（2）What can we learn about Decio？

A．It is a new variety.
B．It has a strange look.
C．It is rarely seen now.
D．It has a special taste.
（3）What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream" in Paragraph 3 mean？

A．A practical idea.
B．A vain hope.
C．A brilliant plan.
D．A selfish desire.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？

A．To show how to grow apples.
B．To introduce an apple festival.
C．To help people select apples.
D．To promote apple research.

3．One animal which is still alive，but has almost disappeared from the world，is the Chinese river dolphin or Yangtze River dolphin.

   In the past，there were many stories about the Yangtze River dolphin.One story said that the dolphin was really a beautiful princess who had drowned in the river.Another said it was a kind of horse that could gallop（急速行進）across water，carrying God on its back.

   A lot of work is being done to help the Yangtze River dolphin.One section of the river has been made into a kind of nature park，where the Yangtze River dolphin can be safe.Fishermen work together with scientists and tell them when they see a Yangtze River dolphin，or if they find an injured one.Injured animals are taken to a research center and nursed back to be healthy.However，in spite of these measures，scientists estimate （估計）that the number of the Yangtze River dolphin still alive in the river may be less than 100.If things continue as they are，the lovely creature will disappear in the next 25 years.
