26、Here’s a word you may not have heard before: dogfooding. Dogfooding is short for “eating your own dog food”. It’s a term that has been used for years among software developers. It means using the software you write for your customers yourself.

This has great advantages because you are able to see what the user experience is like for your customers. You are also more likely to fix a bug (故障) if it affects you in your daily work.

For a long time, the compiler (编译程序) for Microsoft’s C#programming language was written in C++. Then the C# team at Microsoft created a new compiler called Roslyn, which is written in C#. It is a lot faster than C++ and it has the advantage of now being cross-platform (it works on different types of computers). It is the result of dogfooding.

No one really knows where the term “dogfooding” or “eating your own dog food” comes from. In a 1980s advertisement on TV, actor Lorne Greene mentioned he fed Alpo dog food to his own dogs. And the CEO of Kal Kan Foods also supposedly ate the company’s dog food product at yearly company meetings.

However, the first mention of the term in relation to computer programming was in a 1988 email from Microsoft manager Paul Maritz, titled Eating our own Dogfood, encouraging another Microsoft manager to use their products as a way to understand and improve them.

Nowadays, the term has been used in other fields. For example, teachers can dogfood their lessons whenever possible. This means taking their own tests or doing their own homework. By doing this, they can find all kinds of problems that they’d never notice if they just created tasks and gave them straight to students.

【1】Why do software developers dogfood?

A．They can talk to their customers.

B．They can control their customers.

C．They hope to improve their products.

D．They want to make their daily work easier.

【2】How is dogfooding related to Lorne Greene?

A．He loved dog food.

B．He ate Alpo dog food.

C．He advertised dog food.

D．He worked for Kal Kan Foods.

【3】What is the advantage of teacher’s dogfooding?

A．They can have a close relationship with students.

B．They can set a good example for students.

C．They can pay more attention to teaching.

D．They can know their lessons better.

【4】How does the author show the power of dogfooding?

A．By listing numbers.

B．By giving examples.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By using research findings.

29、Since we’ve headed into the snowy part of the year, it seems like a good time to solve a language puzzle that Eskimos have a huge number of words for snow. The idea was popularized by the now well-known expert Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s. His number was approximately five Eskimo words for snow, but somehow the story was so wide spread and romantic that it got out of control and grew bigger and bigger.

There are two problems with the concept of Eskimos having tons of words for snow.

First, Eskimos speak at least two different languages—Inuit and Yupik. Just as we have talked about how English and many other languages developed from a common language called Proto-Indo-European, Inuit and Yupik come from a different common language called Eskimo-Aleut. So saying Eskimos have 100 words for snow is like saying Europeans have 100 words for kings or queens. It might be telling you something broad about culture, but it isn’t really telling you much about language.

The second problem is “What is a word?” The Inuit and Yupik languages make words in different ways from how we make words in English. For example, the West Greenlandic word ‘siku,’ (sea ice), is used as the root for ‘sikursuit (pack ice),’ Sikuliaq (new ice), and ‘sikurluk’ (melting ice). But I’'s not that West Greenlandic has so many more words for describing snow than English, it’s just that West Greenlandic expresses ideas by combining meaningful units of language together into one word while English uses more phrases and compounds. We express all the same ideas; we just do it a little differently because of the way our language is built.

So you’re probably still wondering, “If it’s not 50 or 100 or 400 words, how many is it?” Well, Woodbury lists 15 that are present in a Yupik dictionary published in 1984, but he says that depending on how you look at it this is not an exact number. It could be 12; it could be 24. But it’s certainly not 100.

Sometimes, the “hundred words for snow” puzzle is used to argue that because Eskimos have so many words for snow, they think about snow in ways that we can’t even begin to imagine—that your language decides or limits your thoughts. Languages are just different. They don’t decide what we are able to think about or are not able to think about. I can think about snow floating on water even if we don’t have a word for that in English.

So when you’re out skiing or snowboarding or just shoveling your driveway this winter, don’t believe the people who try to tell you that Eskimos have 100 words for snow.

【1】Why are Eskimos thought to have so many words for snow?

A．Because snow is everywhere where Eskimos live.

B．Because the story about it got enriched and believed.

C．Because snow is of great importance to Eskimos.

D．Because Eskimos have great affection for snow.

【2】How does the writer explain the first problem?

A．By presenting figures.

B．By making comparisons.

C．By quoting sayings.

D．By adopting idioms.

【3】The example of the west Greenlandic word ‘siku’ shows that ________.

A．the making of words varies from language to language

B．the Inuit and Yupik languages have more words for snow

C．the richness of words and phrases leads to different ideas

D．more phrases about snow are found in the English language

【4】What conclusion can we safely draw from the last two paragraphs?

A．Eskimos better understand snow than other people.

B．Languages deeply influence people's ability to think.

C．There is no point counting Eskimo’s expressions for snow.

D．What comes into our mind is limited by our language.

30、Never will I forget the darkness, the pain and the anxiety. November arrived grey and busy, and going into an even more ______ December, I was filled with anxious thoughts.

A visit to my father’s grave is often a good chance to cry and when I leave I feel a little more ______. But this time was different. I drove home and every night for the rest of that week, I ______.

On Saturday, I watched a TV program teaching ______ , and then I started to learn. By the end of the weekend, I had a dining room table, filled with sweet treats. I packaged them up in tins, ______ a label to each of them with “winter love” on it, and dropped them off on a few of my neighbors’ porches before work. It shocked me how much it ______ my mood, seeing a small package lost on a porch. The thanks I received later from the neighbors made my day. It felt so good, and it distracted me from my ______ thoughts.

By January I had developed a ______: Every Sunday I would bake cookies and every Monday I would deliver them to my neighbors. Somewhere along the way things started _______ on my doorstep—a homemade cup, a bunch of flowers and even a gift certificate from the local bookstore. Every single one ______ my heart. But what I really appreciate was when people began to share their stories of mental health with me. It shamed me that something so simple had created such ______ kindness. And it ______ me that there was good in me, in my neighbors, in the world.

I was ______ into a new season of light, while letting go of a season of darkness. My attempt to bring light into my own darkness has transformed into a story more beautiful than I could have ______ dreamed. Sometimes life is ______ , but there is a quiet strength in knowing you are not alone.
