The Public Garden’s world-famous Swan Boats is one of Boston’ s most popular tourist attractions.
The pedal-powered boat takes riders on a leisurely tour around the garden’s lagoon (礁湖), giving a unique glimpse of its 24 acres of blooming flowers and lush lawns.
As well as enjoying nature, passengers are supporting a long-standing family business. Robert Paget launched the first Swan Boats in 1877. It’s said that he was inspired by the Richard Wagner opera Lohengrin, where a knight crosses a river in a boat drawn by a swan. While the design of the fleet of boats has evolved through the decades, the Swan Boats continues to be operated by the Paget family. The newest boat in operation is 25 years old, and the oldest is 109.

Training monkeys to pick coconuts(椰子)is a 400-year-old practice in Thailand. Monkeys are superpickers, naturally at home in the tall coconut trees. Males can harvest over 1,000 coconuts a day, females around 600. Humans, on the other hand, are super-slow in the treetops, with a mere 80 coconuts a day to their name. However, it could be argued that monkeys are being exploited(剥削)to meet growing consumer demand for coconut products.
Throughout history, humans have used animal labor to increase productivity or make tasks more manageable. From horses pulling ploughs in the English countryside, donkeys carrying luggage on South American treks, drugsniffer dogs in the US to guide dogs literally everywhere—all of those animals were specifically raised and trained to do their “jobs”.
Perhaps what upsets people about monkeys picking coconuts is that monkeys are so much like us. We share 93% of our DNA with macaques(猕猴). We share many of their behavioral traits. So when we read about them being “abused” or “exploited”, we perhaps feel more strongly about the issue than we do about, say, parrots riding bicycles to entertain tourists in Spain.
According to Operation Blankets of Love(OBOL), a leading animal welfare organization in California, macaques are snatched from the wild as babies and chained up or stuck in cages, which makes them extremely stressed. They’re forced to pick coconuts for human gain and denied (拒绝给予)companionship, mental stimulation and basic freedom.
However, it’s important to note there is no concrete evidence of “baby-snatching” or mistreatment. It could even be argued that the process of training is mentally stimulating, which, being intelligent animals, the macaques would enjoy. Furthermore, coconut farmers insist the monkeys aren’t abused or exploited. They say the monkeys are treated like family pets: loved and cared for, fed and watered, bathed and decorated.
Ethical(伦理的)living can be a minefield in the modern age. But if we stick to the facts and live true to our individual values, we can’t go wrong.

When Dr. Dana Suskind began doing cochlear implants (耳蜗移植) at the University of Chicago — a surgical technique that allows once-deaf babies to hear — in her follow-ups with families, she noticed a big difference in how the now-hearing children acquired language. Once they could hear, some children’s language skills grew rapidly, while others’ languished (停滞不前). Why this was so began to confuse her. What was causing some children to leap ahead in their language skills?
The difference turned out to be the words children heard from their parents and caregivers, millions of them. Baby talk, explaining and describing, asking questions even when they weren’t going to get an answer — adults’ “using their words” is the thing that some parents and caregivers do thousands of times a day and that builds a baby’ s brain.
While attending a course on child language development, Suskind heard about the groundbreaking Hart and Risley study on the differences in how parents from different income levels interacted with their children. After painstakingly following around families and recording how often they talked to their children, Hart and Risley found that the children of professional parents heard approximately 11 million words in a year, while children from poor welfare families heard only 3 million. Hart and Risley predicted that, by the time poor children turned 4, they had heard 30 million fewer words than their richer peers.
There was a direct connection between how much parent talk the children had heard and how prepared they were to learn once they arrived at school. Hart and Risley wrote, “With few exceptions, the more parents talked to their children, the faster the children’s vocabularies grew and the higher the children’ s IQ test scores were at age 3 and later.”
“The truth is, much of what you see in children born into poverty is analogous to children born deaf,” Suskind said. “It’s a really important point. The most fundamental science shows that it’s really language, and all that comes with it, the brain-building aspect of things, that make a difference,” said Suskind.
8. What confused Dr. Dana Suskind?A.Some artificial cochlears failed to function properly. |
B.Deaf babies behaved strangely after cochlear surgery. |
C.Kids with cochlear implants acquired unusual language skills. |
D.Kids with cochlear implants differed greatly in language skills. |
A.They spend more time with their kids out of work. |
B.They teach their kids language skills at an earlier age. |
C.They use a larger vocabulary talking to their kids. |
D.They communicate more frequently with their kids. |
A.Similar. | B.Superior. | C.Contrary. | D.Attractive. |
A.Language development of deaf children |
B.Talking to children helps their brain develop |
C.Cochlear Implant Project benefits deaf kids |
D.The role of parents in their children’s IQ tests |
Like anyone else, I have social media personalities that I like to follow. I watch their Insta stories, YouTube videos and generally keep track of what they are up to by means of social media. These “celebrities (名人)” encourage me to pursue my dreams, and unlike my physical friends, are often more accessible — just a YouTube click away.
So when I found myself telling a story the other day to one of my friends at a cafe and then casually referring to one of these online personalities as “my friend”, I suddenly became aware of the blurred (模糊的) line between my physical and virtual social lives. I was retelling a YouTuber’ s story about how to practice appreciation as if it were my story to tell. The scary part is that it came so naturally that I had to pause and think twice about what had just come out of my mouth. How did I get to the point of referring to someone I had never actually spoken with as a “friend”?
Between trying to make a living and maintaining social relationships, it has become especially easy for millennials (those born between the early 1980s and 1990s) to turn to artificial social closeness to meet their basic human needs for social interactions. So how do we really know who our friends are in a world where the term “friend” seems so blurred? Is it right to call someone a friend who you’ ve never spoken with in real life?
Sometimes I worry that my online friendships are taking away the time I could be spending forming meaningful relationships in real life. In an article in Psychology Today, Alex Pattakos claims that our quest to create more and more friends through popular social media platforms has led to us feeling more disconnected in reality. His research states that we can only maintain around 150 real friendships and the desire to have more connections leads to emotional attachments to online celebrities, referred to as parasocial interactions, and consequently detachment (分离) from our real life connections.
Do you make a distinction between your online and offline “friends” ? If so, how?
12. What does the author think of his real-life friends?A.They are more difficult to reach. |
B.They often cause him much trouble. |
C.They are fond of following “celebrities”. |
D.They mostly lack interest in social media. |
A.The definition of physical friends. |
B.Some phrases used in online language. |
C.The proper way to practice appreciation online. |
D.The distinction between physical and online friends. |
A.They are skillful in AI technology. |
B.They have great difficulty making a living. |
C.They are eager to seek online friendships. |
D.They rarely build firm social relationships. |
A.Casual. | B.Opposed. | C.Supportive. | D.Ambiguous. |
How to forest bathe with your kids
Find your spot
You’re going to ask your child to slow down in order to take in nature, so choose a location where you all will be comfortable and relaxed. While any natural area or park with trees will work for forest bathing, the more wooded the area, the better.
Go slowly
As you begin your practice, start by letting your child know that this is a forest walk, not a hike.
Now it’s time for them to open up all of their senses. Ask them to listen to the sounds of the forest: birds, insects, frogs, the sound of leaves blowing in the wind. Look up at the leaf canopy and pay attention to the light coming through. Take slow deep breaths and smell the fragrance of the forest air. Touch the trees, feel the leaves and soil. Ask them what they can smell. Let them know the phytochemicals that trees release are making us healthy each time we breathe them in.
Stay as long as your child can.
You can always start brief and build up. Even taking a 10-minute nature break has health benefits.
A.Notice the details |
B.If you live in a city |
C.Guided walks often take hours |
D.It’ s important that you all slow down |
E.When you feel free to talk and move around |
F.Listen to all the nature sounds you can hear |
G.So try a forest bath in your own backyard next time |

My mom is a volunteer in a public hospital, where lies within a short distant from our home. One Monday, my mom asked me go to the hospital with her and help for dinner. At first, I didn’t want to, and in the end she convinced me. I went with her unhappy. After we arrived we set the table and started serving dinner. Looking at people’s face, especially those of the children, I was amazing! The way they brightened up reflected their gratefulness, and that made me felt glad for being there. Since then, I have kept going every week. That day I had realized that a kind action is not only about receiving, but about giving as well.
