On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of

New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes,

another customer was approaching their table.

“

Hey, aren

’

t you from Mississippi?

”

the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked

by the stranger.

“

I

’

m from Mississippi too.

”

Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed

up, she also pulled up a chair.

“

They

began

telling

me

all

the

news

of

Mississippi,

”

Welty

said.

“

I

didn

’

t

know

what

my

New York friends were thinking.

”

Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the

time the group got up to

leave,

it

was

pouring

outside.

Welty

’

s

new

friends

immediately

sent

a

waiter

to

find

a

cab.

Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events

that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.

“

My friends said:

‘

Now we believe your stories,

’”

Welty added.

“

And I said:

‘

Now you know.

These are the people that make me write them.

’”

Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with

this explanation.

“

I don

’

t make them up,

”

she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years.

“

I

don

’

t have to.

”

Beauticians,

bartenders,

piano

players

and

people

with

purple

hats,

Welty

’

s

people

come

from

afternoons

spent

visiting

with

old

friends,

from

walks

through

the

streets

of

her

native

Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has

now

given

out.

Sometimes,

sitting

on

a

bus

or

a

train,

she

hears

only

a

fragment(

片段

)

of

a

particularly interesting story.

5. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?

A. Two strangers joined her.

B. Her childhood friends came in.

C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.

D. Some

people held a party there.

them

”

in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty

’

s

.

B. parties

C. friends

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(

果园

).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting

the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

can people do at the apple events?

in Paragraph 3mean?

the author’s p

urpose in writing the text?

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those

are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information

is being spread and monitored(

监控

) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By

tracking people’s e

-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster

and farther than disasters and sob stories.

“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University

of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share

a story with your friends, you care a lot mor

e how they react. You don’t want them to think of you

as a Debbie Downer.”

Researchers

analyzing

word-of-mouth

communication

—

e-mails ,

Web

posts

and

reviews,

face-to-face conversations

—

found that it tended to be more positive than negative(

消极的

), but

that

didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often

simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility,

Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on

The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e

-

mailed” list for six

months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to

make the list than non-scien

ce articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made

them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers

also

tended

to

share

articles

that

were

exciting

or

funny,

or

that

inspired

negative

feelings

like

anger

or

anxiety,

but

not

articles

that

left

them

merely

sad.

They

needed

to

be

aroused(

激发

) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an

article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious:

Why Things

Catch On.”

12 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A. News reports.

B. Research papers.

C .Private e-mails.

D. Daily conversations

．

13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A. They

’

re socially inactive.

B. They

’

re good at telling stories.

C. They

’

re inconsiderate of others.

D.

They’

re careful with their words.

tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger

’

s research?

A . Sports new.

B. Science articles.

C. Personal accounts.

D. Financial reviews.

15 .What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

B .Online News Attracts More People

C. Reading Habits Change with the Times

D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
