A man behind her in line nticed what was happening, t.
Gerald Swindle was in a hurry t g hunting that day and was a bit annyed with hw lng
their cnversatin was ging. But as Gerald waited fr his turn, his attitude began t change. Nt
nly did he cnclude that hunting wasn’t mre imprtant than their cnversatin, but fund
himself captivated by what the elderly wman said nce he stpped t listen.
“Yu were patient with this lady,” Gerald later said in a vide recalling what had happened.
“Yu did nthing but fllwed her cnversatin, listening t every wrd she said, and never
rushing her.”
He added, “Yu shwed me what peple ught t be. Smetimes it might be the nly persn
they talk t this week. Yu inspired me and smetimes I need that, s I appreciate it.”
Since psting the vide nline, it’s becme ppular with nearly 2 millin views!
“I never expected this t cme abut because it was just a regular day fr me. I was just
ding my jb,” Emily said.
As the cmment sectin quickly filled with thers sharing hw inspired they felt by Emily’s
kindness, higher-ups at Dllar General heard f the stry. One day, members frm the cmpany’s
leadership team shwed up t her stre and presented her with flwer, and a $1,000 dnatin t a
lcal elementary schl.

Scientists have lng sught t prevent sharp memries frm dulling with age, but the
prblem is hard t slve. New research suggests Virtual Reality (VR) might help lder peple
recall facts and events based n specific details.
The study invlved 42 healthy lder adults frm the San Francisc Bay Area. Half spent a
dzen hurs ver fur weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth. They wre headsets
and walked in place, wandering virtual neighbrhds while cmpleting missins. The ther half,
in the cntrl grup, used cmputers t play games that did nt require navigating (导 航 ) r
recalling details. After 15 sessins, the latter perfrmed much the same as befre n a lng-term
memry test based n picking ut bjects they had seen abut an hur earlier. But the Labyrinth
players’ scres rse, and they were less frequently tricked by bjects that were similar t nes they
had viewed.
“The imprvement brught them back up t the level f anther grup f yunger adults wh
did the same memry tests,” said cgnitive neurscientist Peter Wais f the University f
Califrnia, San Francisc. He and his clleagues designed the VR game, which they say likely
stimulates (刺激) the hippcampus—— a brain area that is imprtant fr lng-term memry. The
team did nt bserve imprvement n tw ther tests, which measured autbigraphical memry
(自传体记忆) and spatial memry capability.
“It wuld be great t actually fllw peple ver time and see what this type f game des
fr lng-term memry,” said Meredith Thmpsn, a Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy
educatin researcher. Daniel Simns, a cgnitive psychlgist, said that testing three measures,
instead f just ne, wuld increase the pssibility f finding an imprvement. And it remains
unclear hw test perfrmance in a labratry setting might translate t real-wrld situatins.
Simns ntes, “The utcme needs t be repeated, ideally with a much larger grup, befre it is
treated as a strng finding.”
Wais’s team is nw investigating hw lng the bserved effects last and which elements f
the training have the mst impact.

Salt was s valuable in ancient Rme that sldiers were smetimes paid with it. In fact, the
4
wrd salary cmes frm the Latin wrd sal, fr salt. When a sldier was ding an awful jb, his
paycheck might be cut, which is hw we gt the expressin “nt wrth his salt.” Salt can still he
valuable tday. Amethyst Bamb 9x salt, which rings up at &398 a pund, may be the mst
expensive in the wrld. This pricey stuff takes a lt f time t prduce — it’s rasted nine times
inside a bamb ple at temperatures ver 1,400 degrees F.
Histrically, salt’s value came frm its ability t preserve fd. Venice, Italy, may be famus
fr its canals nw, but salt imprts helped its rise as an imprtant trade pwer by the end f the
13th century. Salt als tk n a great deal f symblic value, like “ld salt” referring t an
experienced sailr. Salt is mentined s many times in the Bible. Fr instance, “the salt f the
earth” is used t describe a persn wh is dependable; “a cvenant f salt” means a firm prmise.
Mst peple knw abut the health risks assciated with sdium (钠 ), but reducing yur
intake isn’t always easy. Even fds that dn’t taste salty may cntain it. If yu are lking fr
sdium-free flavring, try garlic, pepper, rsemary and ther spices r herbs.
Still, we all need at least sme salt. It prmtes the transprt f nutrients and xygen, allws
nerves t send messages, and helps ur muscle wrk. The average adult’s bdy cntains abut 250
grams f sdium.
Cnsumptin f t much salt can be deadly. Fr lder flks especially, a heavy hand with
the saltshaker may raise bld pressure, causing hypertensin and hurt the head. A study f 975
peple between the ages f 60 t 80 and with high bld pressure fund that reducing sdium in
their diets was assciated with lwer risk f headache.
32．Which f the fllwing is used t describe a dependable persn?

C．A cvenant f salt. D．The salt f the earth.
33．What can be inferred frm the passage?

It was just the three f us-my parents and me. I always felt it a pity that I wuld never have a
chance t knw what grandparents’ “spiling” lve wuld be like.
My dad is a truck driver, and when I was little, he was gne mst f the time, delivering wire
and ther supplies arund the Midwest. My mm is a devted teacher, always busy switching
between lking after her nly child and her many students.
We lived in a small huse in Brightn, Clrad, in a neighbrhd f 1970s ld huses. We
mved there n my third birthday. My first memry is ur neighbr Arlene handing me
strawberries frm her garden thrugh a hle in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill,
lived next dr.
Arlene spent a lt f time wrking in the garden, and I was always talking t her frm ur
yard. I think what drew me t Arlene and Bill is that they never gt tired f listening t me. I als
think Arlene saw a lt f herself in me-we were bth lnely, anxius-and that may be why she
always tk the time t listen t me. Bill t. It was a wnderful cnnectin.
One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me while they went ut.
This wrked well fr everyne, s it became a smewhat frequent ccurrence. Arlene and Bill
didn’t have kids. They had a spare rm in their huse, which became “my” rm. I had bxes f
tys and bks in that rm. Arlene and I wuld d crafts tgether. Bill taught me hw t ride a
bike and later hw t fly a kite. It was his cmpany that made father’s cnstant absence nt s
unbearable.
When I was abut five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spat it ut, “what
if I adpted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?”
