Why is a pig used (as a symbol) (of saving)? Why not an elephant bank, (which is bigger and holds more coins)? (In the Middle Ages), (before modern banking and credit instruments), people saved money (at home), a few coins (at a time) (dropped) (into a jar or dish). Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers (from an orange-colored clay)(黏土) (called “pygg,”) and folks saved coins (in pygg jars). The
Middle English word (for pig) was “pigge”. (While the Saxons pronounced pygg), (referring to the clay), (as “pug”), eventually the two words changed (into the same pronunciation), (sounding the “i”) (as) (in pig or piggy). (As the word became less associated) (with the orange clay) and more (with the animal), a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar (in the shape) (of a pig), (delighting children and adults). The piggy bank was born.
为什么一只噜噜被使用/作为一个符号/储蓄的？为什么不（是）一个大象银行呢，它是更大的而且把握住更多硬币？在那中世纪，在现代银行业和信用工具之前，人们存钱/在家，一些硬币/在一次/被扔/进入一个罐子或盘子。制陶工做了这些不贵的容易/从一种橘黄色的粘土/被叫做“pygg”，然后老 百姓存钱/在 pygg 罐子里。这个中世纪英语单词/对于噜噜/是“pigge”。因为这些撒克逊人发音 pygg，
指的是这个粘土/作为“pug”，最终，这两个单词变/成那相同的发音，听上去是这个“i”,就像/在 pig 或piggy 里面。当这个单词变得更少联系/跟这个黄色的粘土/然后更多联系/跟这个动物，一个聪明的陶匠使一个 piggy 罐子变得流行/以这个形状/一只噜噜的，使孩子们和大人高兴。这个小猪存钱罐被出生了。【小猪存钱罐的诞生过程。】

Originally you had to break the bank (to get) (to the money), (bringing in a sense) (of seriousness) (into savings). (While piggy banks teach children the wisdom) (of saving), adults often need (to relearn childhood lessons). Think (about the things) (in life) (that require large amounts of money) --- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff (like great trips). So (when you have money), take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
最初，你不得不打破这个银行/去够/到那个钱，带进来一种感觉/严肃的/进入当小猪银行教孩子们这个智慧/储蓄的，成年人经常需要/去重新学习童年的课程。想/关于这些东西/在生活中/它们需要大量的钱——大学教育，结婚，汽车，医疗，创业，置业，以及有趣的东西/像伟大的旅行。所以，当你有钱，搞走那头 10%，放它在一边，存起来，然后投资得聪明。
【大家一定要存钱呀。】

(On June 11, 2009), nearly 40 (of my family and friends) gathered (in the area) (close to where I would land) (while I headed up) (in the airplane). My instructor, Jay, guided me (through the experience). The plane was the noisiest one (I had ever been in), but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward (to the experience). (When we reached 13,000 feet), Jay instructed me (to throw myself) (out of the plane). (When we first hit the air), the wind was so strong (that I could hardly breathe). (For a second) I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were (in a free fall) (for about a minute) (before Jay opened the parachute（ 降落伞）, then we just floated downward (for about five minutes). Being up (in the clouds) and looking (at the view below) was (unlike anything) (I have ever felt)—much better (than the hot air balloon). I was just enjoying it.

Passage 8
Bad news sells. (If it bleeds), it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules (for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers).

“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works (for mass media),” says Jonah Berger, a scholar (at the University) (of Pennsylvania). “They want your eyeballs and don’t care (how you’re feeling).

Researchers (analyzing word-of-mouth communication) — e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations— found (that it tended) (to be more positive) (than negative)(消极的), but (that didn’t necessarily mean) (people preferred positive news). Was positive news shared more often (simply because people experienced more good things) (than bad things)? (To test) (for that possibility), Dr.Berger
looked (at how people spread a particular set of news stories): thousands of articles (on The New York Times’ website). He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list (for six months). One (of his first findings) was (that articles) (in the science section) were much more likely (to make the list) (than
non-science articles). He found (that science amazed Times’ readers and made them) (want) (to share this positive feeling) (with others).
研究人员/研究口语交流（如电子邮件、网上帖子或评论、面对面对话等）的/发现/说它们倾向于/是更积极而不是消极，但是那并不必意味着/人们更喜欢积极的新闻。是否积极的新闻被分享更经常/仅仅因为人们经历更多好事情/比坏事情？去测试/为了那个可能性，B 博士看/着人们怎样传播一套特定的新闻故事：成千的文章/在那个纽约时报的网站上。他和一个宾州同事分析了哪些“最被邮件（转
发）”的列表/过了六个月。他的最早的发现中的一个/是/说/文章/在科学板块是更可能地/去列入这个表格/比非科学文章。他发现/说/科学使时报的读者惊讶并且让他们/想要/去分享这个积极感觉/跟其他人。【网上更易传播积极文章，特别是科学方面】

Passage 10
(Five years ago), (when I taught art) (at a school) (in Seattle), I used Tinkertoys (as a test) (at the beginning) (of a term) (to find out something) (about my students). I put a small set of Tinker toys (in front) (of each student), and said: “Make something (out of the Tinker toys).”You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day (for the rest) (of the week).”
五年之前，当我教艺术/在一个学校/在西雅图，我使用 Tinkertoys/作为一项测试/在这个开始/一个学期的/去发现一些事情/关于我的学生。我放以小套的 Tinker toys/在前面/每个学生的，然后说：“做一些东西/从这些 Tinker toys。”你有 45 分钟今天——然后 45 分钟每天/对于这个剩余的/这周的。【我用Tinker toys了解学生】
