【題目】 Can We Learn More by Trusting than by Not Trusting?
Most of us have been burned by misplaced trust. These experiences lead us to believe that people are too trusting.
But in fact we don't trust enough. A survey about trust in the United States has found that interpersonal trust, a measure (測量) of whether people think others are in general trust worthy is at its lowest in nearly 50 years.
If people are more trustworthy, why don't we trust more?
When you trust someone, you end up working out whether your trust is justified (證明合理) or not. A child next door asks if he can visit your place. If you accept you will find out whether or not he's a good neighbor. A classmate advises you to adopt a new reading method. If you follow the advice you will find out whether the new method works better than the one you were used to.
However, when you don't trust someone. You never find out whether you should trust them. If you don't invite the child over, you won't know whether he would have made a good neighbor or not. If you don't follow your classmate's advice, you won't know if the new method is in fact superior.
This information means that we learn more by trusting than by not trusting. Moreover, when we trust, we learn not only about specific persons, we learn more generally about the type of situations in which we should or shouldn't trust. We get better at trusting.
When our trust is disappointing, the coats are visible (明顯的), and our reaction (反應(yīng)) changes from trouble all the way to hopelessness. The benefit that we've learnt from our mistake is easy to overlook. However, the costs of not trusting someone we could have trusted are invisible. We won't know about the friendship we could have built if we don't let that child go into our place. We won't realise how useful some advice would have been if we don't use our classmate's tip about the new reading method.
Giving people a chance isn't only the moral (道德的) thing to do. It's also the smart thing to do.

【題目】 We all know vacations (假期) are good for our health. But which kind of vacation is better: one long vacation or several short ones? Here is information from research studies about the benefits (好處) of each kind of vacation.
The benefits of a long vacation
International travel has big benefits. For example, people who travel abroad are more c【1】 when they come home. When people visit other countries, they discover different ways people live. This results in more ways of thinking and better problem solving.
Some studies show that people do not sleep well until day two or three of their vacation. After day two or day three, they sleep well for the w【2】 vacation. They also sleep well for one week after the vacation. A long vacation means better sleep for more days.
Traveling on vacation can be stressful. It takes time and money to travel. If you have a long vacation, you get more days of relaxation for your days of travel stress.
If there is a problem at work during your vacation, your coworkers (同事) are more likely to take care of the problem. They are not likely to wait for you. The result? You have l【3】 work when you come back. The benefits of short vacations:
Studies discovered that people enjoy p【4】 their vacation as much as they enjoy taking the vacation. If you decide to take your short vacations a year, you can experience the fun of making arrangements for four different times.
Many people do not call the office during a short vacation. People on long vacations are more likely to check email and worry about work. For example, France has the highest number of vacation days (an average of 30 days a year). It a【5】 has the highest number of people (93%) who check their work email.
Vacations improve our a【6】 to our lives, our families, and ourselves. When we get back to work, we quickly forget all those positive (積極的) feelings. Taking several short a year helps you feel positive about your life more often.
We are busy all the time. It is difficult to find a complete week when everyone can go on vacation. A short vacation is easier to fit in to our busy s【7】 . The busier we are, the more important it is to connect with friends and family on vacation.
