Feel free to explore the bus features. We want you to feel at home when you travel with us. So our buses have plenty of features to help you relax, like comfy leather seats and lots of legroom (plus free Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment and power outlets so you can still be an armchair surfer). Free Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is free on all our buses, for all passengers. We see it as a must-have these days, not a premium(高级的) feature. So go ahead, check your emails or Instagram window scenery from the road (we’d love if you tag it). Please don’t stream video during your journey, though - we’ve all got to share the bandwidth(宽带)! Personal Power Outlets Nearly every seat has its own standard power outlet, so you can keep your devices charged all the way to your destination. Getting off with a fully charged phone is extra handy if you’re navigating around a new place. Extra Legroom When designing our new and updated buses, we actually removed a whole row of seats rather than trying to squeeze more in. So there’s always space to stretch out when you ride with Greyhound. (Our bus designers must have been really tall.) Eco-friendly Every Greyhound bus is fully equipped with the latest technology to burn fuel cleanly, reducing our impact on the environment. Check out the Going Green page for more of our eco-efforts, and techy facts on things like low-sulfur fuel. 1．Why does the company offer free Wi-Fi on the bus? A．Because passengers are encouraged to post photos online. B．Because the company wants to earn extra money. C．Because passengers need to check their emails.

B When I first met professor Dalecki, I respected him greatly. He walked in the class in formal business suits as if he was prepared for a conference. He greeted everyone with a loud and clear “Good morning” like Jon Stewart from Daily Show. Then he started introducing himself and told everyone his name is Jacek, atypical(不 同寻常的) Polish name that no one knows how to pronounce. He shared his frustration with the class and said, “People have already invented more than ten odd ways of calling my name in the past decade, and most Americans prefer to call me Jay-cek, but it is really ya-cek.” From that moment, I knew there was something about him that made him stand out among all the professors I’d known before. Professor Dalecki never believed in exams. He understood the huge workload that students have and never intended to make the exam questions hard for us to memorize. I once told him that I almost felt like the hell gate opened for me if I got a C．But he laughed and said, “If it were not for my loving girlfriend giving me the exam questions, I can tell you I’d still be in high school somewhere in Warsaw.” What impressed me most was the extent he would go to avoid bias (偏见) in the classroom. He could turn an entire class into a battleground where everybody gets excited for a heated debate while staying objective as a mediator (调解人) who refused to force his own opinions on any side. I visited him during his office hours once after class, eager to find out what his stances are on some of the issues we’ve covered in the class, so I asked, “In China, people really aren’t that serious with when it is okay for teenagers to drink. What do you think of the minimum drinking age in America being set at 21?” “I’m not supposed to answer that question,” he said. “But why? You don’t seem to take any side during the class and I’m just curious to hear how you really feel!” “I choose not to share it because I don’t want it to cloud your own judgments about how you think about certain things.” At that moment, I finally understood how much effort it really took for Dalecki to let us do our thinking on our own. His incredible mindset (观念模式) still has a huge influence on me till this day. So I will end this article with his quote: “It is at this stage in the class that I must ask myself, ‘Did I lie to you?’” 4．Why did professor Dalecki share his frustration with the class? A．Because he wanted to be comforted. B．Because he was really sad as his name was odd. C．Because he cared much about the pronunciation.

B．To make himself stand out. C．To laugh at the author. D．To encourage the author to look for a girlfriend to help him. 6．What does the underlined word “stances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Circumstances. B．Altitudes. C．Attitudes. D．Performances. 7．What can we learn from the text? A．Professor Dalecki is objective when dealing with our quarrels. B．Professor Dalecki is humorous and expert at education. C．Professor Dalecki once scolded the author in his office. D．Professor Dalecki always refuses to communicate with his students. C As a young child, I was painfully shy. I’d watch other children play in the park, wishing I could join them, but I was too scared to approach. Eventually, my mother would come to the rescue. She’d ask the other kids if I could play, too. Today, I feel comfortable giving public lectures in large halls and having conversations in small groups, but I still tend to avoid situations in which I’m expected to spend time with a roomful of strangers. There could be many reasons. For one thing, I might be carrying some childhood fear of rejection. But beyond that possibility, one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people like me after I meet them, as most of us do. A new research paper reports that the common concern that new people may not like us, or that they may not enjoy our company, is largely unfounded. Erica Boothby of Cornell University and her colleagues conducted a series of studies to find out what our conversation partners really think of us. In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion （认知错觉） they call “the liking gap”: our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation. The researchers observed the gap in a variety of situations: strangers getting acquainted in the research laboratory, first-year college students getting to know their dormitory mates over the course of many months, and community members meeting fellow participants in personal development workshops. In each circumstance, people consistently underestimated how much others liked them. For much of the academic year, as dormitory mates got to know each other and even started to develop enduring friendships, the liking gap persisted. The data also revealed some of the potential reasons for the illusion: we are often more severe with ourselves than with others, and our inner critic prevents us from appreciating how positively other people evaluate us. Not knowing what our conversation partners really think of us, we use our own thoughts as a proxy （代理人） . This is a mistake, because our thoughts tend to be more negative than reality. 8.
