26、   When we talk to our friends online,typing can become a little boring.More often than not,we turn to memes(表情包）to make our conversations more fun. But sometimes, sending the wrong meme can mean trouble.

At least 10 students who were admitted to Harvard University lost their chance to study there after posting offensive memes in a private Facebook group, the university’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported on June 5.In fact, this was not the first time Harvard had dealt with a case like this. Instead of regular jokes, the memes “went to truly dark and ugly places, joking about Orthodox Jews, the Holocaust and Mexican children,” reported CNN.

At first,the group was meant for would-be Harvard freshmen to get to know each other before they began university.But later,some students set up another group where they traded several offensive memes.When Harvard University found out about the group, it took back the students’ offers.

The incident has caused fierce debates, both in the university and around the world.

“I appreciate humor, but there are so many topics that just should not be joked about.” incoming freshman Jessica Zhang told the Harvard Crimson. “I do not know how those offensive images could be defended.”

However, others believe the university overstepped the boundaries. “It sounds like Harvard is intruding too deeply into the private lives of students, ”Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian, “It may affect them for life.”

The university didn’t explain the decision to withdraw the offers,saying it doesn’t comment publicly on the admission of individual applicants.But one of Harvard’s own policies says it has the right to withdraw offers of acceptance if “an admitted student engages in behavior that brings into question his or her honesty,maturity,or moral character”, according to the Harvard Crimson.

A.people send memes to make fun of friends during conversations

28、   Like their ancient toga-wearing counterparts, modern philosophers continue to disagree on the nature of freewill. Do we really have any control over the choices we make and the things we desire, and if so, to what degree?

Theories of freewill vary, but the ancient words of Plato still line up with our modern perceptions(概念) of temptation and willpower. The respected Greek philosopher argued that the human experience is one of constant struggle between the intellect and the body, between rationality and desire. Along these lines, true freedom is only achievable when willpower unchains us from bodily, emotional, instinctual slavery.

You can find similar thoughts throughout world religions, most of which offer a particular and often difficult path to rise above our darker natures.

And science? Well, science mostly agrees with all of this. Willpower is all about overcoming your natural desires to eat cupcakes, skip your morning workout, play games on mobile phone, hit the snooze alarm and check your e-mail during a funeral.

Your willpower, however, is limited. If life were a video game, you'd see a glowing "willpower" or "ego"(自我) meter at the top of the screen next to your "life" meter. Successfully resist one temptation, and the meter drains a little. The next temptation drains the "willpower" meter even more, until there's nothing left at all.

Our modern scientific understanding of willpower in large part stems from a 1996 research experiment involving chocolate and radishes(小红萝卜). Psychologist Roy Baumeister led a study in which 67 test subjects were presented with tempting chocolate chip cookies and other chocolate-flavored treats before a persistence-testing puzzle. Here's the catch: The researchers asked some of the participants to withdraw from sweets and snack on radishes instead.

Baumeister's results told a fascinating story. The test subjects who resisted the sweet stuff in favor of radishes performed poorly on the persistence test. They simply didn't have the willpower left to resist slacking off(松懈).

The research inspired more than a thousand additional studies discussing everything from the influence of positive messages to the ego-sapping power of daily decisions.

Studies also show that cognitive capacity also affects our ability to hold out against temptation. Cognitive capacity is essentially your working memory, which you employ when resisting a temptation ... or holding a string of numbers in your head. A 1999 study from the University of Iowa professor Baba Shiv found that people tasked with remembering a two-digit number held out better than people remembering a seven-digit number when tempted with chocolate cake.

【1】What do you understand by ‘freewill’?

A.The control we have over the choices.

B.The choices we make and the things we desire.

C.The choices that philosophers force us to make.

D.Our perception of temptation.

【2】According to Plato, when is true freedom available?

A.Willpower to realize one’s own ego. B.Our ability to overcome temptation.

C.Our ability to remember things. D.The desire to give in to temptation.

【3】What is meant by ‘cognitive capacity’?

A.When there is a struggle between the intellect and the body.

B.When our willpower helps us to overcome our basic instincts.

C.When we desire that which we cannot achieve.

D.When we have no control over our ego.
