Shreya will also spend some of her time conducting an interview that will end up in the Library of Congress. Shreya, 13, is participating in a StoryCorps initiative called The Great Thanksgiving Listen. The project encourages students to interview family members and friends about their lives in an effort to keep the stories and voices of an older generation (一代人). “It would be interesting to see her view on life and how it’s different from mine based on the circumstances she grew up in,” Shreya said about her interview. StoryCorps’ aim is to use audio to preserve the stories of people of all ages and backgrounds. Students will be able to record their interviews using a new app and upload them to the StoryCorps Archive at the Library of Congress. Shreya’s English teacher decided to get involved in spreading the word about the project, by assigning the interview as homework. Alison Matthews teaches Shreya at McCall Middle School in Winchester, Massachusetts. She incorporated (纳入) the StoryCorps interview assignment into a unit on the book, The Giver. Matthews describes the novel as a “story about this community where there’s one man — the giver — who holds all the memories of the community.” “The StoryCorps project fit in so perfectly. The Library of Congress is the keeper of our memories. So I asked kids to think about the importance of memory in our society,” Matthews said. Shreya said that her classmates like the assignment. “It’s an interview that will help us not only understand the book we’re reading right now, but help us later in life,” Shreya said. “One of the things I like about the project is that you get to hear so many other people’s voices,” she added. “Sometimes in this world it feels like our opinion is the only one, but when you sit down and listen, it’s amazing what it can bring.” 14. Who might Shreya meet this holiday weekend? A. Her grandmother. B. One of her cousins. C. Her English teacher. D. One of her classmates. 15. What is the purpose of the project? A. To start a new tradition. B. To narrow the distance between people. C. To record stories of the old through oral communication. D. To teach students to communicate more effectively. 16. Why does Matthews support the project? A. It fits in a lesson perfectly. B. It is a new teaching method. C. Her students want to learn about interviewing. D. Her students want to visit the Library of Congress. C What’s your opinion on spicy (辛辣的) food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers (辣椒) in their dinner while others can’t get enough of them. Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported. “We have always assumed (猜想) that liking drives intake — we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect personality with intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John E. Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study. But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster (过山车). In the study, 97 participants (参与者), both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires (调查问卷) about their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin (辣椒素), the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it. By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.
