27、Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help?
That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near written on it.” It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.
This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!
Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100strangers, some found via Della’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.
Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and YESSS!” It’s Della’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to.

29、 Talking to human-like devices can be great fun - just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems.
A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas (KU) in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.
During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball other player more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.
Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”
The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.
Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, according to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at KU.
But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend.
“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes away. This seems to happening on a very subconscious level.”
Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.
“If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with felling lonely,” Olson said. “From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”
The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction.
“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections.”
【1】Researcher from the University of Kansas found that _______.
A.human-like devices may help people interact with others.
B.interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely.
C.lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices.
D.human-like devices may reduce people’s social interaction in real life.
【2】During the experiments, participants _______.
A.were allowed to talk with human-like devices.
B.were shown devices with human features.
C.played online games with both machines and real people.
D.were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction.
【3】The underlined phrase “this effect” in Paragraph 7 refers to the fact that _______.
A.lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with other people.
B.lonely people are content to only interact with human-like machines.
C.the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact more with human-like devices.
D.People who are socially excluded would get uninterested in socializing.
【4】What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson?
A.It shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely.
B.It warns people to stop using human-like devices completely and focus on real social interaction.
C.It may help the well-being of people who fell lonely and improve their current relationships.
D.It points out the effects of human-like devices and could help companies improve their products.
