10、na. The jobs they found in hot kitchens and clothing factories came with long hours, leaving them no time to learn English. So I spent most of my childhood, in Brooklyn, speaking Cantonese, the only language my parents understand. But as I continued my education, I gradually, or deliberately avoided
11、 using Cantonese. And as a result, Cantonese avoided me. As it slips from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with my parents. For years I have to rely on translation apps and online dictionaries for most of our conversations.Actually, we speak on the phone only once a week and the conv
12、ersations are much the same: “Have you eaten yet?” my father asks in Cantonese. Long pause. “No, not yet. You?” I reply. “Why not? Its so late, my mother cuts in. Long pause.” Remember to drink more water and wear a mask outside.” she continues. “OK. You too.” Longest pause. “Well stop bothering you
13、, then.” At age thirty-two, I feel like someone they know instead of their daughter.On my moms sixty-fourth birthday, at the peak of the pandemic, I became increasingly aware of the limited amount of time together. Did I really want to spend the rest of our lives with a language barrier between us?
14、I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese, and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents. I take Cantonese classes. I watch Wong Kar-wai movies. I repeat Maggie Cheungs words over and over until I get the tones just right. But, most of all, I call my parents and try to have more meaningful c
15、onversations with them, no matter how challenging it gets. Though Cantonese no longer feels natural for me to speak, it will always be my first language-even if it takes a lifetime for us to know each other.1. How does the author relearn Cantonese?A.

18、er story. He might help people see spiders less negatively, a new study finds.After Menachem Ben-Ezra, a proud fan of the Marvel films and also a psychologist, saw the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp(黄蜂), he walked out with a sudden scientific idea that he should measure people before they went into the
19、theater, and afterwards to see if the fear of ants would be reduced or changed.Ben-Ezra and his colleagues asked 424 people questions, about one-quarter of them about spiders, such as “Did you find them scary?” “Did seeing one make your hearts race and palms sweat?” A second group received similar q
20、uestions, this time about ants. The last two groups got the same questions about other insects. Afterward, everyone watched videos. Group one got a Spider-Man movie. Group two saw Ant-Man and the Wasp. Groups three and four watched unrelated video-wheat waving peacefully in the breeze.After viewing
21、the movie, Ben-Ezra again asked the participants how they felt about spiders, ants or other insects in general-and found the ant and spider exposures seemed to make people insensitive and less afraid. Between 3.5 and 6.1 percent of people experience such a phobia(恐惧症) of spiders. Phobias can stop pe
22、ople from traveling, working and enjoying their lives.Ben-Ezra hopes that their movie research might help people with phobias. But they caution that people with phobias shouldnt just run out and watch movies and expect their fear to go away. “What we did is only the first step in a very long road,”
23、Ben-Ezra says. “We didnt say youll be cured. We dont have evidence for that.” But eventually, presenting peoples fears in a positive context-such as a superhero movie-might help people surmount their fear or disgust. After all, if spiders produce Spider-Man, maybe theyre not so bad.4. What method di

They should watch more super-hero Marvel movies.7. What is the best title for this passage?A. The Insect Phobia Cured with Wasp.B. The Positive
