25、4, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. “I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos,” she recalls. Although
26、 a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. “It felt so good to be able to do that for them,” says Rebecca.When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damag
27、ed photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech soft
28、ware to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Daves blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.Though d
29、igital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldnt bear to part with a few treasured pictures, in
30、cluding a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. “I didnt have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did,” Emily says. “Almost every day I think about all the pictures Ive lost. Im so happy to have th
31、ese two.”In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make “copy runs” to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors; operating costs are covered by donations. “Its gr

Moments like that remind me why I do this.”34. When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to _

35、 many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that Im a slightly different person in each of my languagesmore confident in English, more relaxed in French, more emotional in Czech. Is it possible that, along with these differences, my moral compass (指南针) also points in
36、somewhat different directions depending on the language Im using at the time?Psychologists who study moral judgments have become very interested in this question. The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently wh
37、en considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa, volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the “trolley problem”: imagine that a runaway trolley is moving quickly toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, una
38、ble to move. You are next to a switch that can move the trolley to a different set of tracks, therefore sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch?Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolle
39、y is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned
40、as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one. Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language
41、or a foreign one? According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinkingone of these, a quick, natural “feeling,” and the other, careful deliberation about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into
42、the more careful way simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language signals our cognitive (认知的) system to prepare for difficult activity. An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are filled with greater
43、 emotions than are those learned in more academic settings. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that surface when we use a language learned in childhood.Theres strong evidence that memory connects a language with the experiences and in
44、teractions through which that language was learned. For example, people who are bilingual (双语的) are more likely to recall an experience if reminded in the language in which that event occurred. Our childhood languages, learned in the middle of passionate emotion, become filled with deep feeling. By
45、comparison, languages acquired late in life, especially if they are learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones, enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers.38. What does “this question” in Parag
46、raph 2 refer to? A. What contributes to ones language improvements? B. Is it necessary to learn more than one foreign language?C. Does the language one uses influence ones moral judgments?D. How do people deal with moral dilemmas in a foreign language?39. When the “trolley problem” was presented in
47、a foreign language, volunteers were more likely to _. A. care less about the five peopleB. pull the switch to the side tracks C. remain hesitant about what to doD. sacrifice the stranger on the footbridge 40. The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _. A. consideration B. guidanceC. selectionD. arrangement41. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Bilingual people are less emotional than others. B. Native l
