Nowadays mail delivery is a little different.I still get my mail from my mailbox.Nothing, but my neighbors'mail.I thought that was curious.
I proceeded to take my neighbors'mail to them.I was about to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came running out shouting about messing with his friend's mail.He snatched(夺过)the mail from my hand,opened the mailbox and pointed to the mail inside.“You were after this.
I shook my head,“No,believe me.I got this mail by mistake in my box today.I was just bringing it to them."He gave me a funny look and went back into his hou.

The dog had belonged to a mail carrier who had died.No one thought to check(the carrier lived alone)on the man's dog.The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes.When he got loo,he assumed his duties.
I went by to talk to the annoyed tall man to fill him in on what had happened.He was very plead when he realized I was not a mail thief.He did,however,adopt the little guy.

I remember when Kamala Harris became Joe Biden's running mate.It emed funny how many people pronounced her name incorrectly.On one occasion,a news host became upt when being corrected,and purpoly called her Kumbaya.
I am no stranger to this issue as many of my students are from Asian and Middle Eastern countries,and sometimes their names are difficult for me to pronounce,even after asking them
how to say it.Many students em unwilling to correct me when I attempt to learn their names correctly.The other thing I've en in growing numbers is students“adopting”an English name.
It's much more common than many think,for people to change their names in order to fit in.
This is especially the ca when it comes to eking jobs.Racial and cultural minorities often attempt to avoid discrimination hiring by hiding racial cues on the resume including changing their name.This is referred to as“resume whitening".Rearch shows almost50percent of black and Asian job applicants did so.
Xian Zhao from the University of Toronto rearches ethnic(种族的)name pronunciation, saying that many people don't understand that habitually pronouncing an unfamiliar name inaccurately is a form of indirect discrimination.It nds a message that“you are the minorities" says Zhao.“You are not important in this environment,so why should I take time and my effort to learn it?”On the other end,tho with ethnic names frequently don't correct people,even when their name is pronounced wrong repeatedly,feeling it is better just to keep the peace and not stand out for being difficult.
It is important to try to pronounce everyone's name as they pronounce it.This communicates respect of them as a person and their culture.There is nothing wrong with asking someone to repeat their na
me so that you can learn to pronounce it properly.This is usually appreciated.
28.When their names are incorrectly pronounced,the author's Asian students
A.attempt to laugh at it
C.offer to correct the author
D.agree to change their names
29.Which of the following can be en as“resume whitening"?
A.An application for a better job.
B.A change in work environment.
C.A ban on racial discrimination in workplace.
D.A practice of using Western names in job eking.
30.In his rearch,Xian Zhao finds that
C.many westerners pronounce ethnic names incorrectly on purpo
D.many westerners make efforts to pronounce ethnic names correctly
31.What's the author's attitude toward pronouncing ethnic names correctly?
A.Critical.
B.Uncaring.
C.Rerved.
D.Supportive.

For generations,depression has been en as an illness,disorder or even weakness.Such an idea makes n becau depression caus suffering and even death.But what if we’ve got it all wrong?
The common wisdom is that depression starts in the mind with abnormal thinking.That leads to symptoms like headaches,stomachaches,or tiredness.Now,models like the Polyvagal Theory suggest that we've got it backward.It's the body that detects danger and initiates a defen strategy meant to help us survive.That biological strategy is called immobilization,and it demonstrates in the mind and the body with a t of symptoms we call depression.
When we think of depression as unnecessary suffering,we are telling people with depression that they are not part of the group,they are not right and they don't belong.That robs them of hope.But when we begin to understand that depression,at least initially,happens for a good
