7、t of the time, and the higher we got into the mountains, the less clearly we could see. On the first day, we were making our way along the foothills; but the next day, we started to climb on one of the peaks (山顶). 16 it was not that straight and high, I was still excited. I regularly speeded up, and
8、 because of that I ran out of 17 long before we got to the top.When we finally got there, nothing had really changed. The same fog was nearly covering everything. I felt so disappointed, because I had, during the whole course of climbing, 18 to see the view from above and perhaps to be able to take
9、some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back, when the wind suddenly 19 the clouds, and the place we were standing on was brightened with the sun. I saw a fantastic panorama (全景图) in front of me, and for some moments I couldnt believe my eyes. It was so amazing that I

17、u could have any three things, what would you want?” Eleven-year-old Ruby Chitsey loves asking that question, but its not a game she plays. She asks the seniors (老年人) at nursing homes in Arkansas where she lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make their wishes come true.Ruby has long been
18、close to the elders. Her mother has worked in nursing homes for many years. Ruby often stays with her in summer and asks the seniors if they need anything.Last May, Ruby noticed an old lady named Pearl staring (凝视) out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby asked. Pearl said she w
19、as watching her dog being led away by his new owner. Ruby asked around and discovered that the nursing home didnt allow the seniors to have dogs and Pearl couldnt afford to pay anyone to look after her dog. Ruby also heard many stories about Pearls friends there and found that they were unable to af
20、ford life costs. That was when she decided to do something about it.She started by asking the seniors what three things they wanted most in the world. Her mother worried that people would ask for cars and other things that an 11-year-old wouldnt be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate,
21、 fries, and even just pants that fit properly.“I felt really upset,” Ruby says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many things as we could.”Using their own money, Ruby and her mother helped about 100 people in three months. Then, they started asking for don
22、ations (捐款). The good people in Arkansas strongly supported them, so Ruby and her mother set up a GoFundMe pageThree Wishes for Rubys Residents. After GoFundMe named Ruby a Kid Hero and spread her story internationally, Three Wishes raised more than $ 250, 000 in five months. One of Rubys new goals
23、is to set up a shared computer in one nursing home in each state.Ruby doesnt plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and Im very good at it.”24What did Ruby do for the seniors at nursing homes in Arkansas?AShe offered to look after their dogs.BShe strongly supported thei

25、d her friends26According to the passage, which word best describes Ruby?ANaughty. BHumorous. CCaring. DCheerful. Old habits, especially bad ones, can be hard to break.People often make fun of New Years resolutions (决心). However, resolutions present a big opportunity for self-improvement. Fortunately
26、, social science has some ideas about how to start a good habit and stick to it.Gary Charness and Uri Gneezy, two scientists at the University of Chicago, did some research, where 120 students were asked to take part in an experiment about exercise habits, and each of them would get $175 in the end.
27、 The students were randomly assigned (随机分配) to three groups. The first group got the money for just giving researchers permission (允许) to record their gym attendance. The second group gave permission, but had to go to the gym at least once the next month. The final group gave permission and had to g
28、o to the gym eight times that month.Unsurprisingly, the group that had to make eight gym visits to get paid exercised more than the other two groups. After the payments stopped, these students kept going to the gym at higher rates (频率). They went to the gym about twice as often as the other two grou
29、ps.In another study, researchers invited 151 students to work out in the gym, and randomly assigned 75 to a “temptation-bundling” group. As they exercised, they listened to the start of an attractive audio-novel (有声小说). At the end of their workout, students were told that if they wanted to hear what
30、 happened next in their book, they would have to come back to the gym. They could only listen to the audio-book while exercising. The other 76 students also completed the first workout but without any kind of temptation bundle.It turned out that the students in the temptation-bundling group visited
31、the gym 27% more often than the control group over the next seven weeks. Sadly, the temptation-bundling trick fell apart over the Thanksgiving holiday when the gym was closed. The studies show that trying something new quite often for as little as a month can kick-start a lasting change in behavior. Moreover, “temptation-bundling” may also be a useful method for changing behavior, particularly when used together with other methods
