But the girl shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked Why dont you want the fish?The girl replied, I want the fishing rod（竿）in your hands.”The old man asked, Why do you want the rod?It doesnt take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I wont be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.I think you will certainly say that the girl is very smart. Wrong! If she doesnt know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. Its useless to only have a fishing rod.

They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling, Jonah Berger, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, US, told The New York Times. But with social media getting more and more popular, information is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are discovering new rules good news can actually spread faster and farther than bad accidents and other sad stories.Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousands of articles on The New York Times website and analyzed (分析) the most e-mailed list for six months.One of his findings was that articles in the science part were much more likely to make the list. Those science stories waked up feelings of awe (敬畏) and made the readers want to share this positive emotion with others.Besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “The more positive an article was, the more likely it was to be shared,” Berger wrote in his new book. “For example, stories about newcomers falling in love with New York City,” he writes, “seemed to be shared more than the death of a popular zookeeper.”But does all this good news actually make the readers feel better? Not necessarily.According to a study by researchers at Harvard University, people are more likely to say more positive things about themselves when theyre talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on micro blogs. This, researchers found, makes people think that life is unfair and that theyre less happy than their friends.But no worries. Theres a quick and easy way to take the despair from you that you get from viewing other peoples seemingly perfect lives turn on the television and watch the news. There is always someone doing worse than you are.（1）In Bergers opinion, bad news covers most papers because _.A . the public cares for reading sad eventsB . mass media wants to attract the publics attentionC . the public tries to share positive feelings with each otherD . mass media wants the public to help those unlucky people（2）Which of the following might be e-mailed most according to Berger?A . The perfect vacation of your friend.B . The death of a popular zookeeper.C . The story of a creative scientist.D . The flood hitting a small town.（3）We can infer from the passage that _.A . bad news always makes people sadB . good news
