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 house.
I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers.The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail.Before I could finish telling them about what was going on,the officers had watched a dog approach my mailbox with mail in his mouth.He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in.He pushed the door closed with his nose,picked up the new pile of mail he had gotten from my box,and repeated this all the way down the next street.We all started laughing.
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 loose,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 pleased 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 seemed funny how many people pronounced her name incorrectly.On one occasion,a news host became upset when being corrected,and purposely 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 seem unwilling to correct me when I attempt to learn their names correctly.The other thing I've seen 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 case when it comes to seeking 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".Research shows almost50percent of black and Asian job applicants did so.
Xian Zhao from the University of Toronto researches 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 sends 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,those 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
unfamiliarme 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 seen 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 seeking.
30.In his research,Xian Zhao finds that
C.many westerners pronounce ethnic names incorrectly on purpose
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.Reserved.
D.Supportive.

For generations,depression has been seen as an illness,disorder or even weakness.Such an idea makes sense because depression causes 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 defense strategy meant to help us survive.That biological strategy is called immobilization,and it demonstrates in the mind and the body with a set 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
